<p>I like Taylor Swift. Taylor has been one of my favorites, but he did not do it for me today. I don’t need Taylor jumping around the stage. I still like him. </p>
<p>Of course I agree that Jessie did awesome. Though her voice doesn’t seem as strong as some of the others, it is so unique, and every time we see her and her dad, we get teary. For some reason I don’t remember anyone else tonight, maybe I should watch it again.</p>
<p>I like James David Carter, he will be one of the ones at the top. Along with Matt, I think.</p>
<p>busdriver11, Do you know what the significance is of Jessie’s roman numeral 8 on the inside of her wrist? I agree bus, Matt McAndrew is also one to watch!</p>
<p>I was surprised at how good a coach Taylor Swift turned out to be. I particularly liked the fact the she got Sugar to tone down the growling and the belters to introduce some dynamic range and other tones.</p>
<p>I also liked how Taylor Swift got into the performance aspects with their body language, eye contact, movements, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, that was excellent also!</p>
<p>jshain, I don’t know the significance of that, but I’d take a guess it has something to do with family or religion.</p>
<p>Are there any steals left for tonight? They only get one each in this round, right? </p>
<p>Yes…there are. 2 left. Gwen and Blake.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they have reruns or replays or whatever? I missed last night. Thanks</p>
<p>All of the episodes are streamed through NBC.com. </p>
<p>Troy’s performance of Hey Ya was just incredible. He’s a star. Now Taylor is doing a wonderful job with Mad World. These are both guys that I would really like to be able to continue to listen to.</p>
<p>I can’t believe Blake didn’t steal Troy. The guy is, to repeat myself, a star.</p>
<p>Every other season I’ve had one or two strong favorites from the get-go. This season there are so many great choices. I am totally torn.</p>
<p>I loved Taylor and Mad World.</p>
<p>I get really sick of the females who are addicted to the big note.</p>
<p>I would take Troy over both of Adam’s singers. But I’d go with Alessandra.</p>
<p>Ricky: wow. I never thought much of Wrecking Ball before. Wow.</p>
<p>Good move, Gwen.</p>
<p>No kidding! I cannot believe Pharrell let him go. I really liked Troy…wish he was still around. Taylor was great, though.</p>
<p>I was surprised that Gwen stole Ricky. I thought it was a downright poor performance - nasal, pitchy, real problems with lower register. I was feeling sorry for him as he was singing and was shocked by the reaction. </p>
<p>Ok. I confused the Taylor of yesterday with the Taylor of today. That means my opinions are not worth a grain of salt. :)</p>
<p>I like today’s Taylor better.</p>
<p>Troy… Not for me.</p>
<p>I love Troy. Why Gwen let him is beyond me. </p>
<p>Ricky’s performance of Wrecking Ball was actually pretty good, but why did Pharell pick Elyjuh?</p>
<p>The great singers are leaving while the good ones are staying. Why?
</p>
<p>I didn’t like Troy much during this song. Too manic and it didn’t sound that good. Didn’t recognize the song, but didn’t really like it. Taylor was great, very mesmerizing.</p>
