I sense a tinge of a mocking tone. <_<This is a fantastic idea. I can't believe there's nothing like this on TV already. I think the concept has HUGE potential.

This was how I felt. Loved the song, it just irked me a little she and Blake took the credit, but I understand. I'd also bet anything he played her The Frays version and told her to sing it like that.I don't think she's taking credit for its originality. But she also didn't defer credit for the arrangement when the coaches praised her for it. I just wish she hadn't been silent/neutral on the subject.I don't remember exactly what she said after the performance, but are you sure she really took credit for it's originality?
Agreed. BrInging her team to an average of 2.3Wow. This is the hottest I've ever seen Christina Aguilera look.
Yeah, and I think it's a sizable gap between him and second place.Javier wins this thing.
I agree with this.I'm very surprised Blake took Xenia, but I think her voice is incredible if she can overcome her nerves, so I'm happy with his choice.Javier wins this thing.
Dia is my pick to win it too though Javier is gonna be tough to beat. Spent a few hours on Youtube thumbing through "Meg and Dia" songs and have to say the girl can sing.Yeah NBC was very open about this not being just for fresh faces like Idol.
They wanted some guys with a few failed record deals to get a real breakthrough chance and mix that with fresh faces.
Problem is i think most of the final group would be easy cuts during the Hollywood weeks of Idol.
But like someone else said, from the first 8 we saw last week, Dia the Lesbo and Frenchy are all awesome.
Agreed. Best person to beat him was Raquel ... and Christina screwed that up.Javier wins this thing.
Can't wait for him to sing yet another slow dull song. Pretty sure he will sing some Norah Jones or Jewel next.Javier wins this thing.
i think he has a great voice, but i'm not a fan of that oversinging that i think he does.Javier wins this thing.
Hopefully he'll reign that in. I love Xenia's voice and I'm glad she's still around. Dia's good too. After that, everyone is either :meh: to me or worse. I really, really don't like either of the bald women. And it has nothing to do with them being bald women. I just don't enjoy their vocals.i think he has a great voice, but i'm not a fan of that oversinging that i think he does.Javier wins this thing.
i like Vicci Martinez' vocals.Hopefully he'll reign that in. I love Xenia's voice and I'm glad she's still around. Dia's good too. After that, everyone is either :meh: to me or worse.

I was very surprised (even Carson Daily seemed surprised), but he apparently decided that she could make far better use of his tutelage. He probably realized that neither of the dudes could compete with Javier, so he needed an all or nothing pick. Xenia has the voice to win the whole thing, but he's got some major work getting her confidence up.Anyone else surprised that Blake took Xenia over Patrick?She has a very interesting voice, but no presence or confidence. Every time they showed her "Everybody look to left" with the arm movements, I just winced.
And he didn't do anything to cover that up. He basically came out and said to Xenia "Holy crap! I can't believe you were chosen over the other two, can you?"I was very surprised (even Carson Daily seemed surprised), but he apparently decided that she could make far better use of his tutelage.

You never really know, but he claimed it was Vicci who picked Jolene. That's been done a lot on Idol, too. Speaking of which, Kris Allen did a slowed down down version of Heartless two years ago, so I was also surprised at how innovative they all thought Dia was.Andrew Sisters, Dolly Parton, Sly and the Family Stone, Robert Palmer. What year is this?
I did.Anyone else love the campy Team Cee Lo group number?
Especially so singing next to the cowboy, who sucks.Vicci's voice cam through really strong on that. I like her a lot, also.
I was but he made the right move. His team is weak compared to the others and she has a much higher ceiling than the two dudes.'Mystery Achiever said:Anyone else surprised that Blake took Xenia over Patrick?She has a very interesting voice, but no presence or confidence.

Not any more there's notI haven't watched this but I know there's a smoking hot latina on it, young one too.
But then they never should have beaten Kelsey Rey anyway. Cee Lo seems like a pretty cool guy but his choices in the battle rounds and the songs he chose for his artists were not good.Whoever came up with the idea for those two girls to sing an Andrews Sisters song should be fired.
I agree with this. And I'm partial to Casey Weston because Adam forced her to do her song in a way that didn't showcase her talents as well as it could have.This week's winners should be Nakia, Vicci, Javier, and either Jeff Jenkins or Casey Weston (can't decide which I like better).
I thought this was a really bad move. I understand trying to showcase a wider range of talent but putting her in a position to do a performance in a way that doesn't bring out her strengths is just setting her up to fail. IMO Adam should be finding ways to best emphasis the strengths not suppress them.I agree with this.

I think Adam was right. She can't sing like Jewell on valium for the whole competition.And anyway, I thought she did great with it and I don't really like that song.I thought this was a really bad move.

Agreed that Nakia, Vicci and Javier should be slam dunks to advance. Going into this week, Jeff would have definitely been my next choice for Adam's team. However, he sang terribly on Jesus Take The Wheel. So much so, that Casey has now passed him in my eyes. I think Casey deserves to move on.I think Adam was right.

I think Jeff's emotions got to him singing that song. He should have picked something else.Agreed that Nakia, Vicci and Javier should be slam dunks to advance.

That's a fair point. Maybe I should cut him a little more slack.I think Jeff's emotions got to him singing that song.

I was wondering how they'll orchestrate this, but I doubt it will hurt those teams. They probably spend a lot of the time practicing on their own, vs. with coach.Something I wanted to throw out to you guys...it looks like all of the top 8 are going to sing next Tuesday, even though the last 4 have yet to be revealed. How big of a disadvantage is this to Adam and Cee Lo's team that they'll need to prepare 4 people/groups each to perform when only 2 will end up performing?
I can all but guaranty that the "winner's reveal" has already been taped and will be thrown in at the top of the live show, with the explanation that this was done to give the singers all the same prep time.Something I wanted to throw out to you guys...it looks like all of the top 8 are going to sing next Tuesday, even though the last 4 have yet to be revealed.
