Is "The Voice" Your New Vice?

There must be a huge problem with my ears and/or my TV because I think everyone has been horrendous so far tonight. Especially the ones the judges are gushing all over.

musicmom, I got through Team Blake and Alicia’s first artist, Terrence. The sound is EXACTLY the same as it was on Monday. The artists sound like they are singing inside a closet. This is driving me crazy.

I found myself turning the volume way up to hear their voices and then, of course, the band was too loud, so it didn’t really help.

I thought Johnny had a good night.

Something happened in Wilkes’ performance, but I missed it. I think he dropped the mic or maybe he stumbled and fell to his knees. Or maybe he went to his knees to pick up the mic. He made it looked planned, but the judges talked like it wasn’t. I don’t know how I missed it. I was eating dinner and must have been looking at my fork instead of the TV. LOL

It looked like Wilkes knocked over the mic and stand by accident. It was a great ad lib. I’m watching on YouTube so didn’t hear any of the coach comments.

I tried to edit above. I watched again. The mic never came out of the stand. Edit: Watched a 3rd time. The telescoping stand may also have collapsed, causing it to fall over. You could hear it hit the stage! He continued singing with a stubby mic stand!, In a weird way it may have helped him with votes or possibly even the save.

In case you are not hearing the judges’ comments, Blake said tonight that the contestants had picked their own songs.

Did they pick their own songs last night (Monday)? And my FINAL mic stand comment. Watched it again on a larger screen. The mic stand simply COLLAPSED. Never fell over or got knocked over from what I can tell.

Also, the sound seemed okay when Kelsie performed. Was she second to last? Not sure I watch them in the correct on-air order on YouTube. It seems to be a “mixing” problem. Any sound engineers amongst you?

Johnny was last. Not sure if Kelsea was before him. They didn’t say if they picked their own songs last night.

Just watched the show on Hulu. Alicia was begging America to vote for each and every one her artists to be voted through. She over-hyped all for their uniqueness. She even included Wilkes in her gushing. If Jackie F. gets the most votes, she is going to have a tough choice to make. I think Christiana gets the nod over Kelsea. If it is between Terrence and Christiana it is a toss up for the save, imo. I would personally take Christiana. Alicia can help her more. She probably saves Terrence. Listening to Blake’s comments, I do NOT think Pryor would get the save, if he didn’t get voted through, however Spensha probably would get the save. If Wilkes gets the most votes, I think Pryor is going home. I thought even Adam was pleading with Blake to keep Pryor in the competition with his post-performance comments.

Here is the iTunes Top-200 link currently:

Blake probably didn’t want his fans to think he picked such a lame song for Pryor.

Anyone watching tonight?

Forgot to mention: there was no iTunes charting for the Tuesday and Wednesday performances— only the Monday performances.

Enjoy the show!

Well, my top three are the only ones of my eight that made it through so I don’t have any adjustments to make to my team.

Britton 51 days
Jackie F 43 days
Brynn 30 days

1,381,500 points

I have five left and 1,569,500 points.
Top 3
Brynn 52
Kyla 51
Jackie F. 44
Bottom
Christiana 45
Kaleb 17

I do not get why there were no iTunes studio sessions for the Tuesdsy and Wednesday shows? I would be curious to know which performances cracked the iTunes top-200 on those days.

Top 3: (Day totals as of Thursday AM)
Brynn 52
Christiana 45
Britton 18

Bottom:
Spensha 37
Pryor 35

musicmerit, I like the fact you have Team Blake represented in your top-3 with Kyla, likely his #1 seed.
musicmom, I like how you have Britton for max days.

I like how you both have Jackie F. for max days.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!

I am shocked with Adam’s save. I would have been happy with ANY of the 3 he sent home!

musicmom and musicmerit, What are your updated point totals as of Thursday AM? Mine changed to 1,715,000. Also, don’t forget to replace your eliminated artists in the bottom (which I forgot to do last night)). You will get additional points for having a full team before the teams are reduced to 3 at 12 noon PT.

Consolation, Who are your top-3? Since Wilkes was eliminated before the teams went to 3, you can replace him.

Anyone else want to guess who the top-3 will be?

Points 1,695,500
I just replaced 3 this morning when the app told me to. I didn’t think about it last night.

Musicmerit, The points competition should be interesting. You have a max day top-3 and should get rewarded nicely the longer they all stick around. Musicmom has Britton for max days and he could be the eventual winner.

The only person available to me to move up was Jackie F. So I have her and Christiana in the top2, and that’s it.

Consolation, I did not realize you were on the Voice App. Who would you add to your other 2 if you could? I’m guessing a male…

Today I have 1,465,000 points.
