I don't understand America sometimes.

Top 12 Boots


Next week all the advisors from the battle rounds are returning to help out except for Joel who's a coach on the Aussie Voice. Ceelo will be filling in on Team Shakira.

I don't like Vedo :joker:

Bit upset about Garrett, but tbh. I really only like Michelle. Holly has outstayed her welcome.

When Amber performed last, the look on Blake's face when he realized that Amber is legit competition for Danielle. :joker:

Michelle was kinda meh this week. I started to get worried because they had a weird call out order. I think it was Kris, Swon Bros., Josiah, Sarah, Judith, Holly, Michelle, Amber, Dani, Sasha. (Was waiting for Carson to be a bit cruel by saying from team Shakira at the end but they didn't have enough time.)

I can't stand Blake Shelton or his team, Danielle does nothing for me, but then again neither does Amber, I give her credit though, I had her down as fodder before her stay performance.

By The way Season 5 will be the original panel set for this fall. Season 6 will be Adam,Blake, Usher and Shakira again. Set for Spring 2014.

Goddamn Adam and Blake not willing to give up their seats. Even Temporarily.

Due to the Oklahoma Tornado. NBC News Extended their coverage into the 7 PM Central hour preempting the Recap show. ( I missed part of the episode last night because of Tornadoes warning in my local area, don't worry they were small compared to the one that hit Moore)

Results are still happening at 8 PM Central.

Also Michelle should be safe, she got the pimp spot. (14 on iTunes as well around the time that the lines closed at 10 AM today)
I'm expecting Kris and Josiah to pack their mics tonight.

Michelle slaying :worship:

Hopefully Holly goes. Bloody dullard.

Sarah, Amber, And Michelle Slaying last night. :worship:

In case you were wondering Josiah and VEDO were eliminated last week.

This week I'm sure that Michelle should be safe. She sang a very emotional performance of Grenade. One of the best versions of the song I have ever seen.

uh Wow, are you kidding me?

I am so so bored of awful generic country acts. Holly needs to go.

Also Adam also said as the show was going out regarding tonight's results



Also there's one big plus to having all these country artists still in the game. If Michelle stays until the final. She could steal the win from Danielle.

I going to ask what are your Top 5 performances?

Here's Mine
1. Dog Days Are Over By Vicci Martinez. That blew everyone else out of the water
2. Dream On by Amanda Brown
3. It's A Man's World by Juliet Simms
4. Grenade by Michelle Chamuel
5. Who Knew by De'Borah

I've really enjoyed this show, but I'm so sad its come down to Blake's team. We have four country acts left and losing Judith was a big blow to me. Michelle is the only act left I care about.

Hmm... I hadn't thought of that. Here's hoping she gets the prize in the end.

well do
but who Blake

Blake Shelton, Marcus. He's a big country star in the US, very popular.

thank you bd

Pleasure, Marcus!

Well, We should be a bit nervous if Amber's there because she's basically a crossover artist like Kelly Clarkson.

Also the only contestant that has gotten iTunes X10 has been Danielle Bradberry Twice (The last two weeks) (Michelle has gotten close, I wouldn't be surprised if she finally breaks into the top 10 this week with either of her songs)

I don't know if they've mentioned that iTunes votes carry onto the final this cycle. I haven't heard it yet. (I think they may of taken it away, because it made last season's final SOOOOO predictable, you'd have to be an idiot to believe that Cassadee Pope was not going to win.

Also both Blake and Adam are doing the next two seasons (Fall with Xtina and Ceelo, This Spring with Usher and Shakira.) I really hope that the producers ask or pay Blake to take a break if he wins for a third season in a row. (Adam won season 1 with Javier Colon, Blake has won 2 and 3 with Jermaine Paul and Cassadee Pope.)

And do you know what's funny? The only successful artist from the voice is Vicci Martinez with a song in the US that's a year old and just recently it got popular (Ceelo is her coach and is featured on the single known as Come Along. I think Ceelo's new song is about to rereleased with his season 2 finalist Juliet Simms being Featured on the single. It was originally someone else but since him appearing on Vicci's Single helped her out, I'm guessing they're doing it with Juliet)

Thanks for this, very informative.

This is the first season I've watched of the US version and while I am bored with the country acts, I've loved everything else about the show.

Despite my dislike country, I do like Blake's personality.

I think the balance is wrong, too many country and females left, I really enjoyed Garrett and Josiah.

I didn't know it was back in the fall, that does please me.

Could be worse, Idol started off with 5 guys and gals in their finals and the guys all got 10th-6th place and those were single eliminations.

I do kinda like country on these shows but My thoughts on Country is this, if they sound very generic, then they don't deserve to go far.

Personally I just don't like the country twang that I hear in their voices. Plus (& this is where I'm ignorant) I find all country music to sound the same only the lyrics change.

I think what kills, it is the amount on there. If it was just the odd country artist I would definitely cope with it.

I don't think you're ignorant. I do kinda feel like that most country songs are like that.

Also in case you haven't seen any american singing competition get used to at least seeing one country singer usually make it far. Which is why someone like Tate Stephens won X Factor. Because he was a country singer. (Also a waste of a 5 million dollar contract.)


Also next week they're going to sing two songs each. Season 3 it was Coach's Choice and Contestant's Choice. Very loose themes but interesting ones.

Thanks


Yes, I was expecting some country and I could live with it a few weeks back when we had such a diverse group of singers, it's just disappointing when all we're left with is mainly one style/genre.

I'm more hopeful with your comment on Michelle pulling through if there's more voters out there not looking for country.

Now with four country acts in the mix, their votes are going to split across, which could go in Michelle's favour.

I was shocked to see Judith go, I thought she was worthy of a finalist position.

Putting country to one side I have really enjoyed this show & I will be looking forward to the one in the fall.

I'm not looking forward to fall as much. Shakira (and Usher, I didn't expect to love Usher at all but his relationship with Michelle is the best judge/contestant relationship ever, bar Nicole/Rylan) have been a breath of fresh air. Cee Lo is good though, just can't be doing with Xtina and Blake.

I haven't seen those two in action, so I'm curious to watch them.


That said though I have really taken to Usher (which I didn't expect) and I love Shakira no matter what she does. So I will miss them.

Xtina was good in series 1. She was ok in series 2 and horrend last series, probably because she hated Amanda Brown who is one of my favourite talent show contestants of all time <3. Cee Lo is great though, quirky, just what you expect.

Glad Usher and Shakira will return next year <3.

if you get a chance watch Seasons 1 and 2. The rules are similar to what the Voice UK had last year but they're still good series. (No Knockout round, No steals in the battle round and Everyone had a artist in the final. Season 1 was shorter )

Series 1 had Vicci Martinez, Javier Colon, Dia Frampton (No Relation to Peter), Nakia
Series 2 had Juliet Simms, Lindsey Pavao, Chris Mann, Katrina Smith (Adam Robbing her and the audience of her in the final. if it was based on public vote alone she would've made it to the final), Ashley De La Rosa (I think Xtina wanted her and Lindsey as her final 2 but that didn't happen. She was amazing.)

Season 3 is okay as well. Wasn't as interested after Amanda Brown WAS ROBBED of going further at least Michelle Martinez was eliminated with her. Also X Factor USA was on around the same time.

Usher enlisted the help of Taylor Swift to help out with Michelle tonight! The Voice Facebook Page just revealed it.

Also the show is now on, it was announced that one contestant is getting eliminated and I assume that another will be eliminated next week meaning 4 in the final

I'm really tempted to go back and check these out, however I have such a long list of shows waiting to be watched and with Big Brother starting next week I just won't have the time. I'm also thinking about watch BBUS this year.

Michelle killing it this week.

She should get the x10 bonus :amazed:

Michelle is getting the X10 bonus with I Knew You Were Trouble, It's #4 overall right now, Dani might not hit the top ten by the time lines close. No One Else is closer and it looks like


may be getting the boot

Results show is on right now

Vegas Odds


Also in case anyone is wondering, Fall Out Boy is on the next results shows, expecting Michelle to perform with them. Hopefully not as a Goodbye performance like what Amanda Brown got with Ne-yo (It was nice of Ne-yo to let Amanda Brown to duet with him for Let Me Love You)

Compared to Idol, It's not a pain sitting through The Voice Results shows, I think because they fill it properly. With Group Performances and then revealing a safe artist along with it.

Also three former contestants have been added to the Semifinal Results show. Tony Lucca from Season 2 and Terry McDermott and Nicholas David From Season 3 are set to perform.

Well Two artists were eliminated on Tuesday (What was the point of eliminating 1 last week then?)

The final 3 is


The final works like this

Song Reprise
Duet with Coach
Coronation Song (Sorta winner's single. Season 1 had winner's singles which were brilliant don't know why they haven't had the other season do it.)

And on the second night, All 3 acts gets a duet with an established artists. Or at least one. Two artists performed with Kelly Clarkson last season.

I didn't watch the last two shows, I just checked online what order they finished at.

I was becoming tired of the country acts, I'm not a fan and doubt I ever will be.

It's a shame because I've really enjoyed the series.

I will definitely check out the next series in the Fall.

Pleased Michelle came second, first would have been nice, but hey that's the way it is.

Yeah, such a shame.

At least Blake didn't sweep again. Bad News is since they haven't recorded Blind Auditions for 5 yet most all the acts will flock to Blake.

although Producers will try their hardest for a not Blake win. He'll not leave until he loses a season i bet because he loves the show so much that we might never see him leave, Well there is the possibility of Miranda Lambert (His Wife) convincing him to take a season break.

I liked Blake throughout the show, but I was put off by (what appeared to me) his safety net he had with his singers and their song choices.

I like to see the singers perform a variety of music genres, I loved how Usher played Michelle during the series.

It would be interesting if Blake did take a break from one of the shows.

If Adam ever left temporarily his replacement would either be OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder or Fallout Boy's Patrick Stump.

If Blake ever left Temporarily his replacement could be either his wife (Miranda Lambert, Who's songs lyrically are the country equivalent of Adele, especially Gunpowder & Lead), Kelly Clarkson (She's known to dabble with country alot and stuff), or Lady Antebellum's Hilary Scott. (A Country Style band that's known to crossover into Pop alot.)

Well that's actually who I would like to see temporarily replace Adam and Blake athough
