Is "The Voice" Your New Vice?

I have 57,500 points. In the top 1,000. Woohoo! No tweeting. Answering questions on the app. Keeping my team full.

Me too! I’m 793! It was my goal to get to top 1k. You work hard and stick to it you can achieve your dreams. I’d like to thank my husband for watching with me and my cc community for supporting me along the way!!

^Tears! Thanks for the laugh, eyemamom!!

It’s so stupid and silly how this points thing works, I’m almost too embarrassed to share—

During the telecast: Red button pops up, if yes, hit Twitter icon, then hit Tweet. Then tweet the artist, then tweet the coach. Tweet the artists and coaches about anything. For example, here’s my tweet to Adam Levine at the close of the show:

“Don’t get too stressed out over getting blocked by John Legend. There is no way Julian was going to pick you anyway!”

Millisecond shmillisecond…

Okay… here’s my current team:

Kelly—

Karen
Rizzi
The Bundys

John—

Maelyn
Matthew
Julian

Adam—

Domenic
Trey

Blake—

Gyth
Kim
LiLi
Hannah

I am intrigued with The Bundys: 1) First time a trio has ever been on the show. Could generate lots of buzz. 2) They are siblings! 3) They have the absolute best coach for arranging. Negatives: oldest daughter Megan is the weak link, imo. They are a little boring, imo. They are a little old, imo- 31, 28, 25. If I were Kelly I might try to “feature” Kate and use her sibs as backup. Nothing says they all must share in the load equally. On YouTube, I thought the brother was the strongest but, Tuesday night, he kind of disappeared vocally and it may not have been intentional.

Just watched last night’s show. I liked the girl with the bird. The rest were ok. Surprised that we’re only two shows in and all the blocks have been used.

is it on line? i missed it

Girl with the bird is 17-year-old Savannah Brister. Very talented!

It takes me a while to remember names…

musicmom, I did not add Savannah because I felt she was too similar to Maelyn vocally and they have the same coach (John Legend). But, Maelyn is 25, 8 years older. If they go head-to-head, I’m betting Savannah gets stolen. Check out her rendition of Fallin’ on YouTube. I cannot post the link (without getting into trouble) but maybe skieurope would?

YouTube liks are OK! :slight_smile:

musicmerit, musicmom1215, Consolation, anyone else?:

I do NOT have maximum day count on The Bundys. I missed the cutoff time Wednesday morning and lost 1 day. I did not think their Blind Audition went all that well, hesitated adding them and when I finally did, missed the cutoff time!

The Voice Alum Janice Freeman Dead at 33

Miley and JHud each posted tributes on Instagram.

Here’s her Blind Audition - Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive.

RIP

I was just thinking of her earlier this morning (in the context of this season not having anyone like her). Very sad news.

Well this is a bummer, my team is full, I tweeted the contestants, answered all the polls and I dropped out of the top 999.

Did you tweet the coaches? I thought everyone was at least 999? If it will make you feel better, eyemamom, I too dropped.

I don’t understand. I jumped up to the 200’s with 127,000 points. No tweeting. Answered most questions. I tried to open the app daily even though there’s nothing to do on the off days. The only thing I can attribute it to is that I added everyone to my team the first day. I kept them all, and filled the team my second day. So I have max counts on every one. I have a list from yesterday that I will add when one of my current team leaves. My strategy is working so far…

That is a good strategy, musicmerit. I kept my original team from nights 1 and 2 of the Blinds last season UNTIL someone was eliminated— which I learned from you. This season, I’m trying to get what I think are the BEST top-12. Edit: I think Savannah should be in my top-12, but she’s not. Last night, I replaced Kim and LiLi with Dexter and Jej. Last week, I replaced Lisa and Jimmy with Hannah and The Bundy’s.

Here’s my question: last night I did my replacements immediately following the show. Is it better to WAIT until after the App points are updated, 2 AM Pacific, 5 AM Eastern, but before the cutoff? I waited last week and I seem to have been rewarded the top spot.

Tuesday night was interesting. Kelly beat out Blake for a very solid (imo) female Country artist— Rebecca Howell. I think The Bundy’s might be in trouble since Kelly will probably only hang on to one of them and is beyond grateful that Rebecca chose her to be her coach. Maybe the biggest surprise for me was Kendra Checketts only getting a 1-chair turn from Blake. I just love her, and Rebecca.

Here is my current team:

Adam

Domenic (top seed)
Trey (on the bubble)

Blake

Dexter
Gyth (top seed)
Hannah

Kelly

The Bundy’s
Jej
Karen (on the bubble)
Rizzi (top seed)

John

Julian
Maelyn (top seed)
Matthew

I’m replacing one or both of my bubble-mates next week. NBC is sandbagging at least 1 ringer.
