Is "The Voice" Your New Vice?

Please let Darby go home.

I really like Ali tonight.

Just got into the hotel room and listened to Josh. Is there something wrong with my television sound or did he not sound too great? Man, I really dislike people doing that wave thing so often on this show!

I didn’t think Josh was that bad. But I was comparing everyone to Darby so they sounded pretty good in comparison.

Thanks, musicmom. I was too late to listen to Darby, just Jodh and Brendan (who didn’t sound that great, either). I wonder, did all the judges rave about how great she was, regardless?

Of course they did @busdriver11

I speed past the judges’ fake responses. Can’t stand to see that part of the show.

I don’t like Darby either. And agree, the fake praise is useless.

I am forgetting why I put Darby on my team… I think I liked her unique sound early on. But not lately.

Busdriver, Time to scrap those Motel 6 TVs for your own devices!

Here are the iTunes Top-200 as of almost 8 AM this morning Pacific:

We’, Take Me To Church, #16, Team Alicia
Ali, Did I Ever Love You, #24, Team Miley
Billy, The Show Must Go On, #25, Team Adam
Josh, Why, #36, Team Adam
Sundance, My Church, #38, Team Blake
Brendan, Whipping Post, #59, Team Adam
Christian, The Scientist, #69, Team Alicia
Austin, Do Right Woman, Do Right Man, #79, Team Blake
Darby, Ruby Tuesday, #94, Team Miley
Courtney, I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing, #106, Team Blake
Aaron, Hollywood Forever, #159, Team Miley

Sa’Rayah didn’t crack the Top-200 as of this post.

Love Ali, even though she’s not on my team, and glad she finally had a good iTunes night.

Wow, my team is looking good. I still have We’, Ali, and Billy. Also Darby, but do not really expect her to stick around.

I guess i am alone in continuing to like Darby. :slight_smile:

Just watched the show. Lots of solid performances, but the outstanding ones to me were Brendan–who know he had it in him?-- and Ali, followed by We. Also really liked Aaron (brave song choice). Liked everyone else, thought most made good progress. Kourtney and Sundance, both of whom are on my team, seem to be treading water a bit. Sa’rayah is a great singer, but she just isn’t someone I really want to listen to. Christian the same, although he isn’t as good a singer.

Increasingly I admire Miley’s coaching and her song choices. Garth Brooks was a really good coach also. His help with stagecraft and performance was really valuable.

I liked Darby last night, but had mixed feelings on previous performances. My son, who is the only one with any musical talent in this family, loved We’.

Overall, I wasn’t crazy about any of the performances last night and it looks like none made it to the top 10, so no multipliers tonight.

Who is picking the songs now? I thought the contestants got to pick all the way through, but based on some comments during the show, that might not be the case.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to add that it’s a good thing we all watch The Voice. According to the NPR “bubble quiz”, it’s helping get us out of our bubble.

Correct toledo, no one got the 10 times vote multiplier for being in the top-10 on iTunes so I suppose anything is possible on who goes home tonight. Here is my latest update and point total. Not sure my point total will hold up much longer. I only have 2 “long term” team members:

Billy 56 days
We’ 56 days
Brendan 22 days
Sundance 15 days

776,000 points. The national leaders have over 1.3 million points.

Who do you think or want to see go home tonight? I think one of the dynamic divas, but NOT Ali-- either Courtney or Sa’Rayah. I personally don’t think it will be Darby. Lots of fans on YouTube. My guess on the bottom 2 tonight:

Courtney and Aaron with perhaps Sa’Rayah and Darby on the bubble? Heck, the only 2 that might be the safest are Billy and We’. Hard to predict without the multiplier…

I’d like to see Christian leave. Ali is definitely the best of the divas so far, so I hope if it is one of them it isn’t her. I really like Aaron. I think he is something special and different. I hope he isn’t penalized for choosing a non-obvious song.

I’m at 606,500 pts,

The one guy who absolutely no on has mentioned is Austin Alsup, on Blake’s team. I have enjoyed his performances each week. Surprised he hasn’t done better on iTunes.

But, but, the Motel 6’s have those vibrating beds…unfortunately I’m all out of quarters.

It’s just that dang work thing getting in the way of watching the Voice on a quality sound system!

I think Alicia Keys just won The Voice with that performance.

Ya, Ali it was terrific. Far better than her team.
