Is "The Voice" Your New Vice?

I don’t agree with what Adam did. I understand why he did, but I don’t agree. He threw his own team member under the bus.

Dave had a rough week. His 1978 Guild acoustic guitar was damaged by an NBC staff person and the old gal had to be repaired. Hope “Gilda” (my name for her) is okay!

Kelly had to speak up for DeAndre. Adam, you deserve to lose respect.

The end result is very unfair, IMO.

Adam threw his own team member under the bus because he wanted his other team member to advance. I could not believe how much he was allowed to go on and on about Reagan. Very disappointing with how this played out for the final three.

That was reallly…strange.

Seriously, she was awful last night. DeAndre or Dave would have been better choices.

I just lost all respect for Adam. That was low.

Adam deserves to lose. His one remaining team member can’t carry a tune in a bucket.

Looking forward to seeing “Adam in action” when the show airs on the west coast. It was interesting last night with Adam choosing DeAndre’s song. DeAndre was clearly worried with the selection. Thought he did a good job with it anyway.

There is a reason Adam is the least favorite coach each and every season…

Seems like soliciting pity votes.

This is embarrassing for the Voice and its’ credibility. Coach goes overboard on supporting one team member over the other. Cameras repeatedly pan to Reagan in a bathrobe to apparently underscore that she really is sick! Kelly has to speak up for an artist not even on her team! Crazy stuff.

That was ridiculous. She was horriblel last night. DeAndre was just okay for me last night but I thought he was terrific tonight. Dave was really good too. Adam was a total jerk to DeAndre, good for Kelly for standing up for him…I just love her.

Now I wonder how Kellly and Adam get along. She clearly saw how awful that was and for the sake of the show am glad she spoke up. Too bad Blake said nothing. In his defense he was probably still in shock over that number Gwen Stefani just did.

I don’t typically get wound up about any of this but found this infuriating! :slight_smile:

Jonri, As I understand it, only Apple streams get the 5X multiplier. No. of Streams (of at least 30 seconds to qualify) times 5, added to your votes. In previous seasons the iTunes downloads got the 5X multiplier but not this season.

Thanks, jshain! That makes no sense to me, but if that’s the rule, that’s the rule.

I am still sleeved by what Adam did. It would have been OK to remind people that Reagan was still in the running, but to essentially ignore DeAndre and drone on about Reagan reminded me of Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

I think both NBC and Adam should be ashamed. The “robe staging” of Reagan was disgusting. This has taken a reality singing competition to a whole new low. Dave and DeAndre should be proud of themselves. They both had classy exits. The irony here is that all 3– Dave, DeAndre and Reagan, were all likely getting eliminated next week anyway. This has cast a very negative light on the show and for what, one extra week of competition? Loved Kelly Clarkson coming to DeAndre’s defense. Adam is getting absolutely skewered on Twitter.

Edit: Where’s reigning champ musicmerit?

Skeeved, not sleeved. Darn autocorrect.

He’s getting deservedly skewered everywhere:
