There were a couple people that I could barely listen to and wondered how they have gotten so far.
America preferred Tish over D.R., by a comfortable margin on the Voice App. They also preferred Jorge over Alexa.
Watch out for Reid. He got semi-montaged tonight, but he could make a run. I would not be surprised if Adam had both Reid and Drew on his team heading into the Live Shows. Wilkes is another one I also like (like musicmom). He took a song that I am personally tired of hearing and made it interesting to me.

Tonight is a another recap show. Next week will be Playoffs on Monday 4/17, Tuesday 4/17, and Wednesday 4/18. America votes 2, coach saves 1 which will then make up the top-12 heading into the Live Shows the following week.
Next Thursday (noon Pacific?) your team’s top-3, if you are playing along, gets LOCKED for the remainder of the season.
See you next week!
I was not wowed the other night, but I really find myself liking Wilkes’ voice.
kelsmom, He could definitely become Blake’s #1 vote getter. His team is the most unpredictable, imo.
Here are specific details of how the PLAYOFFS will work this season:
Monday 4/16— (Sorry, above there is a typo with the wrong Monday date on my post #6022)
THE ENTIRE TOP-24 WILL PERFORM ON MONDAY NIGHT! (Make sure to set your DVR if you will be watching American Idol, instead, or have other plans. This is a show NOT to be missed.) There will be a LIVE VOTE and 1 ARTIST FROM EACH TEAM WILL ADVANCE TO THE FINALS, leaving 20 remaining singers for just 8 spots.
Tuesday 4/17—
The 5 remaining artists from TEAM ALICIA and TEAM BLAKE perform again. The top vote-getter (1) from a LIVE VOTE from each team moves on to the FINALS. Each coach will then choose their last team member who will advance to the Finals. Remaining 3 team members from each team goes home.
Wednesday 4/18—
The 5 remaining artists from TEAM ADAM and TEAM KELLY perform again. The top vote-getter (1) from a LIVE VOTE from each team moves on to the FINALS. Each coach will then choose their last team member who will advance to the Finals. Remaining 3 team members from each team goes home.

musicmerit, We missed you last week! Hope you are okay and that you will be watching tonight.
Thanks! I didn’t realize that I didn’t post. I missed watching most of Monday but had the app open to get points. This week is gonna be interesting! I might miss the first hour tonight too.
Glad you are okay, musicmerit. This will be a crazy show tonight with 24 performances in a 2 hour show. Plus, Idol is also on tonight. It’s times like this I’m glad there are DVRs and, for me since I cut the cord, Hulu. I will treat The Voice and American Idol like a “double feature”… starting around 4 AM!
I just listened to all the iTunes “teasers”. Mostly good song choices, imo. A few that I wasn’t crazy about. I do not believe the artists picked their own songs this week but maybe they had a couple to choose between— not too sure. I won’t know until I watch the show tomorrow morning. The iTunes rankings will really be key this week. Will post the link in the morning.
Enjoy the show, and Idol too!
Loved Pryor just now!
I think Terrence gets worse every week. I can’t believe he sang almost that entire song in falsetto. Really disappointed in him.
I agree. I can only take so much of that.
Truer words were never spoken.
I did not like the acoustics throughout the entire show. I hope it gets resolved tonight.
Disappointing iTunes results. May have been too many fans were watching Idol rather than downloading, could have been the performances themselves?
I hate the fact we West Coasters cannot vote during the performances!
Here are the iTunes To-200 rankings at the moment:

I didn’t think the acoustics were good either. “How Great Thou Art” should have given me goosebumps, but it didn’t make me feel anything. I was really surprised that Kyla got the votes.
I haven’t been watching the shows, but based on the preview clips I replaced Terrence in my top 3 with Wilkes.
The show for me, overall, was kind of a dud. I didn’t LOVE anyone.
Thought Sharane was the pleasant surprise of the night and that she deserved getting the most Team Adam votes. I liked Brynn, Britton, Christiana, and Kyla. I thought Pryor, Wilkes, and Austin all had their personal best performances of the season. Thought Pryor would have been the top vote-getter on his team although Christian/ Gospel performances usually get lots of votes so not surprised that Kyla did. I was rather shocked that Drew came out with a whole different persona: no long hair, no hat, and no guitar. The song choice was weird, at least for him. It just didn’t look, feel, and sound like Drew althoug he sang it well enough. Kaleb also changed his persona, wearing a hat and dressed in black. At least his song choice was better.
Besides Terrence, I did not like Alexa (sounded like she had a clothes pin on her nose), Spensha, Tish, D.R., Jackie V…, Rayshun, Gary, Dylan, and Johnny. They all could have chosen better songs, imo. I never did confirm who chose their songs. I am beginning to think they did?
Redemption time for some of these artists tonight and tomorrow.
Sorry, song choices for tonight seem to be under lock and key— at least the last time I checked, which was about 15 minutes ago.
For you Jackie F. fans, along with those of you who have her on your teams. I just saw an Instagram post from Brynn asking her 42K followers to vote for Jackie F.
I am hoping several singers redeem themselves tonight. Also hoping there are no obvious surprises with the votes, so that Alicia and Blake don’t have to “flip a coin” on which of 2 (or more) they are sending into the top-12. Hopefully, Jackie F. gets in on votes, otherwise Alicia could be wanting to save one of her original artists— especially Christiana. Team Blake will also have to make a tough choice. For example, does he save Spensha if she doesn’t get in on votes?
Enjoy the show!
Edit: Just got the same email twice from NBC reminding me to vote, starting at 8 PM Eastern (which is 5 PM my time). I did NOT get an email reminder yesterday out here on the West Coast.
We DO get to see it at 5pm on the West Coast to vote it real time. It is on right now.
Voting and coach save RESULTS for tonight’s (Tuesday) show will NOT be until the end of the show on Wednesday night.
Yes esobay, we get to vote but we cannot see the performances. Theoretically, we do not know what we are voting for.
