The Voice: 8 Stayed…4 Packed It In

Last night’s episode of The Voice was a bit of a shocker in some ways and a given in others.  America’s thinking was a tad off…but it’s about their vote. So let’s get to it…

America Saved:

From Team Adam:       

Mathai – Her original delivery of “Ordinary People” captured America’s hearts.

Tony Lucca – He was one of those that I wasn’t quite sure of with his safe performance of “In Your Eyes”. Well, America was certain about the former Mouseketeer. I-Tunes also ranked him #2 behind Juliet Simms in the rock chart from Monday night’s show.

Pip – He held on!!! Shockingly – it must have been the tons of teenage girls holding him in this.  His voice is great, for sure.  But there is nothing about him that makes me excited.

From Team Cee-Lo:

Juliet Simms – She also had the number one spot on I-Tunes with her rendition of “Roxanne”. This one was no surprise for me.  I truly loved her after that performance.

Jamar Rogers – Loved his “Are You Gonna Go My Way” so I was on board with this choice. Keep on, Jamar.  Just not sure how long he can last with his competitors.

James Massone – He wasn’t a shock, I do like him.  And the little girls obviously love him enough to save him.

This left Team Adam’s Kim Yarborough (not a shock); and surprisingly Karla Davis and Katrina Parker to sing for the final spot on the team for the night.  Cheesa, Tony Vincent (not a shocker to me), and one of my favorites Erin Martin to vie for the final spot on Cee-Lo’s team.

Just the Hits & Misses from The Voice Monday Night

This week was all about Team’s Cee-Lo & Adam. I’m only hitting on those sure hits and misses for the night.

THE HITS

Katrina Parker was a definite “HIT” for Team Adam singing “Tonight Tonight”.  Her Adele-esque vibes were present once again but she owned the song and Katrina really showed up and showed out.

The Judges Two Cents: Cee-Lo was impressed but not wowed by the performance.  The Billy Corgan hit is quite a hard song to sing, but she did it well.  Adam loved the performance and was happy with the choice of song.

Another “HIT” was Team Cee-Lo’s Juliet Simms She originally turned all three judges in the Blind Audition.  This week she went off the beaten path with “Roxanne”, which was a great choice – if she nails it.  She did! I loved the throaty voice and breaks she allowed to happen naturally.  Her look was okay and I loved her smoky eye! She may have milked the beginning just a bit, or maybe I was just ready for her to rock it.

The Judges Two Cents: Adam said it was the best performance so far, Christina gave her props for her “dope” voice, Blake loved it and now understands what the fight over her was about, and Cee-Lo said simply “Wow….just wow.”
