Only 1 artist in iTunes Top-200 from this week’s Blinds:
Chris Blue, The Tracks of My Tears, #130 ( at present)
If I had to pick my favorite from last night, it would probably be Vanessa Ferguson.
LOVED Chris Blue, also really liked Sheena.
I really don’t think Dawson should be on the show. He’s battle round cannon fodder for Blake.
I’ve changed my team around. Now I have Jchosen, Chris Blue, Hanna, Sheena, and Casi
Consolation:
The one stat I really like on The Voice App is the percentage of fans using the app who would turn their chair during each blind audition. Chris Blue was at 91% last night-- very high. I wish you could somehow go in afterward and get this stat on each past blind performance but I do not believe you can do so. I am unable to watch the show interactively since I either watch it on NBC.com or Hulu and the next day is the earliest it airs. I am surprised that you picked up Sheena and dropped Lauren Duski. Time will tell. I’m thinking you maybe didn’t want 2 country artists from Team Blake. What is your current point total? I’m at 253,000. The national leaders are in the 340,000 to 380,000 range.
Okay, my team is chosen.
Valerie
Quizz
JChosen
Chris

I downloaded the app and will play along for the first time. It is really hard to choose just five at this point. I have tried to choose a variety to start with because I think that is what the producers will do (young, country, diva-ish) but the only one that I feel will be on my team for the long haul is Casi. I also really like Lauren, but I think at some point she will be pitted against Casi.
Casi Joy
Kawan
Taylor
Felicia
Anatalia
I did not watch closely the last few shows so most of my team is from earlier. I have 217,000 points.
Chris
Felicia
Lilli
Anatalia
Autumn
Good luck Snowflake, musicmom, musicmerit, Consolation, and anyone else that is playing along this season.
I really liked Valerie, in fact I prefer her to Casi, but Casi is on my team in the name of practicality. I really like Lauren Duski, but there’s something very confident and personal about Sheena that I think will serve her well.
At this point I don’t know who I would dump to add Valerie.
I also love Valerie! I would hate to be the one going up against her in the Battle Round. I think she will definitely impress. I’m betting someone steals her if she doesn’t make it in the Battle or Knockout Rounds.
Will this be the first season ever that at least one country artist ends on every team heading into the live shows?
Edit-- My current team:
JChosen
Autumn
Casi Joy
Chris
Taylor
Brinnlee was much better than I was expecting. I still would have picked Lauren, but I was pleasantly surprised by Brinnlee.
I thought she oversang, though she does have a nice voice.
I think that I would’ve picked Brinlee
There is not one female country artist on this season that I don’t love. Not a one.
I love the female country artists, too. So far, my team is still good, but when I lose one, I am putting Lauren on for sure.
No Battle Round performances in the iTunes Top-200 at this time. Pop Vortex, whom I use when posting the iTunes results, is incorrectly showing Brennley on Blake’s team still, and listing Lauren Duski on Gwen’s team as a stolen artist.
Anyone think the top-12 this season might contain a female country artist on all 4 teams? I’m hoping this happens. I also am hoping Taylor Alexander also is still around. I added him to my team a few days ago because he is the lone male country artist this season and they tend to get great results.
I have never been a big fan of the Battle Rounds, but last night I found them very enjoyable. I particularly liked the guest coaches.
Top-200 iTunes: Brennley Brown, Lauren Duski-- Better Man-- #190
Just watched it. Most of the time when I disagreed with the winner the other person was stolen. Sometimes things seemed like a setup for the winner, particularly with the youngest contestants. Titanium was a song made for Quizz, although Felecia had her moments due to her superior voice. Anatalia and Missy: they put the high energy kid in a sparkly short dress and Missy in the next thing to a burqa. That kind of thing annoys me, but I’m sure they want to keep the teens on the show for ratings in that bracket.
Kenny was tremendous. Love Jchosen, but would have liked to see Kenny stay on the show.
Kenny may have had the best performance ever by someone who went home in the Battle Round. I didn’t care for Anatalia’s styling and her performance is too over-the-top for me. Love Quizz. The pleasant surprise for me from last night was Mark Isaiah.
Nobody watched tonight? It was not very memorable, imo. It is certainly an advantage to be a teenager.
I watched, but I wasn’t very impressed.
