Wow, haven't watched in over a month, Christina is looking much better.

Okay, do they never criticize people on this show? That performance of Halo was a mess. I mean the guy's got a crazy voice with a huge range, but the performance was still a mess.

I haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but there was a lot of discussion about this last season. There is very little criticism, but you have to remember that they're coaches, not critics. I have noticed a lot more criticism this season than last, though.ETA- last week's criticism from Christina towards her Mickey Mouse Club bud was the worst I remember, and completely out of line IMO.

I think there may be some strategery going on where the judges heap more praise the opposing judges' weaker contestsnts so that they're more reluctant to cut them.
 
Can't believe she cut Jesse.
I was flipping between this and House, so I missed when she actually said it, but was very surprised to see him standing there as the cut. think she figured a 42 year old could not win. I did think when he performed that she was doing everything she could to make him look young/relevant with the song choice and hat. I thought she would cut Lindsay, because of the look on her face when it was announced Lindsay went through a couple of weeks ago.
 
What reason did she give for picking Jessie? Still think it is the age thing, but obviously wouldn't expect her to say that.
She babbled on so long there wasn't any time for Blake. It was about going forward and she hadn't really seen any growth in Jessie like she had in some of the others.

Thx. She sure did. I was trying to watch House, but catch the elimination. Every time I flipped back, she was still in her set up. so I switched back. The growth argument is a pretty easy out when you're comparing him to less experienced singers. Has anyone been watching the i Tunes numbers? I know Blake has tracked that to see popularity. Wonder if Jesse has been lagging and Cristina knew it.

I think she felt he wasn't going to cut it long term and has hitched herself to Ashley/Lindsey. From last night so far not sure how Jessie has done in the past50. Against All Odds - Jermaine Paul58. She's Country - RaeLynn97. Foolish Games - Ashley De La Rosa106. Part of Me - Lindsey Pavao110. Viva La Vida - Chris Mann126. Halo - Jesse Campbell128. A Little Bit Strong - Jordis Unga

This is interesting. I didn't think Jesse was strong this week. He finished great, but overall, I didn't like the song or his presentation of it. That said, I thought Lindsey was really bad last night. Typically I think she has been pretty good; not last night (for me). Jermaine had a good night and the downloads seem to be consistent with such. RaeLynn's singing was so-so, but her overall performance was great for her song. However, she sounded horrible on the group song with Blake, imo. That whole song was a train wreck.

Jesse was all over the place pitch-wise in the beginning and then screamed for a minute straight at the end.

I thought he finished strong with a couple of big notes at the end, but yeah, outside of that, he had a bad night.
 
Thanks for the i Tunes info, mile high. People do use it for voting, so that may have contributed to Jordis and Jesse lagging. Also, elimination probably decreased some interest!

I admittedly don't like country music, but I want to punch this one in the face - the Fat Albert voice she uses every other verse is maddening.
lol

Okay, it was 42 seconds at the end, not a full minute: Too loud. I respect the vocal ability it took to do this, but it still hurt my ears.

 
I think the tricky thing about Lindsy is that her style is supposed to be out of tune. So when you hear her sing flat or sharp, it's not something you can really criticize.

Totally shocked that Blake cut RaeLynn. Happy, though! Was sorry to see Ashley go. I am not a Lindsay fan, but apparently Christina is.
The drama is getting overworked on The Voice and Idol. Christina looks totally bored when the spotlight isn't on her, then the tears come out and she is up on stage with her two best friends. I thought, for sure, RaeLynn was a keeper for Blake. CeeLo doesn't know what to say without reading his notes and clears his voice everytime he speaks. Adam pours adoration over everyone before his "feedback".

Yep. Not liking it as much as last year.Actually forgot it was on last night until a friend called me between the Christina and Blake saves, so I didn't even see hers. Idol I expect drama from (also X Factor), but Voice was better than that.

Yeah, RaeLynn out was surprising. But I was happy too.Seems like Lindsey (for Christina) and Jermaine (for Blake) are the heavy favorites to make the finals for their teams.

I've only been watching this show sporadically, so I'm not all that familiar with the contestants. RaeLynn has a weird affect to her voice, and sort of reminds me of one of those creepy dolls with the eyes that open and close, but at least she's somewhat unique. Is the woman who was saved really better? I mean, I've heard that exact same performance of Proud Mary about a thousand times.

No, I don't think she was necessarily that much better. I actually think RaeLynn is a fairly talented performer overall, I just find her voice very annoying at times. I don't think either of those two ladies are particularly good, unfortunately for Blake. -This is why I think Jermaine is the huge favorite to be the finalist from this group.

Her father wss ill with cancer and passed away while she was away from home doing the show. Apparently Blake's father passed away three weeks later. I expect it is hard for Blake to be totally objective with her.

Seemed like they kicked the right/obvious people last night. James especially got on my nerves.
Agree. Don't know how James got as far as he did. Been watching The Voice Australia Here after catching Rachael Leahcar audition (who is blind) the other day. Cute girl. Great voice. They have some really good talent, better then those here imo.

I agree that the right cuts were made. I don't know who I'd cut on Ce-Lo's team tonight. And I'm not sure I care who on Adam's team makes it.

Juliet looks strange as a blond.

I know she's popular, but I am not a fan. So she is my pick for Cee Lo's cut.I like Katrina and Jamar, so i guess I am hoping for a Mattai cut. Adam might cut Katrina, though. Has anyone seen itunes downlaod numbers from last night?

That trick with Baby Hit Me One More Time has been done before and better IMO. Marty Casey killed it on Rock Star: INXS a few years ago.
