The Voice: Season 2 Official Thread

[Allison]

It was Jamar, Katrina, Mathai and James so far.

 

[Robinrs]

I liked Jamar, Mathai sang one of my least favorite songs and they're trying to make Katrina INTO Adele..

Don't like James AT ALL.

 

[maslex]

I liked Katrina's performance.

Why oh why does James wear that stupid head band everyday? LOL It looks ridiculous.

 

[Allison]

I liked Katrina too.

 

[AverageDiser]

Katrina- thank you! Hate when I can't remember a name. Count me as another who's ready for James to find a new 'do. He was just kinda bleh for me this week. Enjoying Tony's performance so far, but I've liked him from the beginning.

 

[luvmy3]

Thanks everyone

dh got home from work just as it started and had lots to tell me so I missed most of the show. Now I'm trying to watch, but he still wants to talk

 

[Robinrs]

Tony was awesome!!

 

[fairestoneofall]

Tony rocked.

i've been worried that Adam would cut him tonight. i think he blew it out tonight. i will be buying that on iTunes.

Chessa is singing Whitney-wannabe. i hate when people sing Whitney and don't do anything new to it. you aren't her and so you will just pale in comparison.

Liked Katrina, didn't care for Jamar, James or Matthai. Chessa. meh.

i liked Jamar the last time, so i'm hoping that will carry him through to the next round.

 

[TnTsParty]

Chessa is good - didn't care for Jamar or Mathai. The Mickey Mouse club guy was good too. And I agree about the stupid headband James wears. He needs a new do

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

Didn't like Tony.

 

[AverageDiser]

I did not enjoy Juliet's song at all..thought she sounded very screechy, especially toward the end. I like her, and I was disappointed. That said, I don't think she's going anywhere tonight. I think Cee-Lo will cut Cheesa, no idea about Adam.

 

[Tozzie]

I guess I am in the minority because I don't like Katrina at all nor do I like pip or James.

 

[AverageDiser]

I was surprised Cee-Lo cut James, simply because of the popular vote that he gets. Not surprised Adam cut Pip, but I would have rather seen Mathai go.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Tony was not original, Marty Casey did a version of that song back in 2008 on Rock Star INXS-

I think Marty's version was much better.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

How could you not cut Matia, she was awful.

 

[fairestoneofall]

How could you not cut Matia, she was awful.

yes, but so was Pip.

i hope that Tony and Katrina go through for team Adam. i see Jamar and Juliet for team Cee-lo.

 

[NaLisa]

I would've made the same cuts--Pip and James. I hope Katrina and Tony make it through for Team Adam, and Jamar and Juliet for Team Cee Lo.

I thought Cheesa was really strong last night, the best we've heard from her so far. Jamar and Juliet weren't as good as usual last night but I think they've been consistent enough that they'll hang on. I really did not like Juliet's performance last night and I was surprised the judges seemed to like it so much. Jamar was good not great, but he's so much fun to watch. What great stage presence! Cheesa could get the popular vote, though, and then Cee Lo's got a really tough choice b/w cutting Jamar or Juliet.

I thought Tony gave the best performance of the night. Can't stand Britney but his take on that song was great. I bet he takes the popular vote, as he's got the whole anti-Christina crowd on his side.

I've really liked Mathai this season but last night showed her limitations. She's lacking in range and I think Katrina ourperformed her.

And I just gotta say about Cee Lo--I know he's out there and often rambles w/o making sense, but I really get the impression that he's a big ol' sweetheart. I thought his speech to his team members was very kind and heartfelt, and it was nice to see all the contestants treated with dignity (unlike the way Christina treats her team and others).

 

[fairestoneofall]

i just checked iTunes and Tony's single is #21.

Juliet: #32
Katrina: #48
Jamar: #52
Cheesa: #111
Pip: #169

i didn't see the others in the top 200. i may have just overlooked them though (i read through twice).

i think Adam thought he'd be picking between Katrina and Tony to eliminate last night. i think that's why he made the comment about things being switched around from what he thought would happen. but Pip and Matthai were not good, which surprised him.

 

[iheartdisney]

I wonder about the itunes...
Do the artists get a portion of the sale, or is it more money in NBC's pocket? That is the only question that keeps me from downloading MOST of the songs on The Voice.

that's a good question.

i only downloaded Tony's because it counts as a vote.
