The definitely said teams of 12 after the blind auditions on the show last night.

Thanks. Still better than 16! Was surprised they didn't mention the steal..which is actually a save, not a steal anyway. That bugged me!
This is good stuff. I was amazed that some of the contestants last year didn't have a better online presence while they were competing on the show. Great opportunity to make some dough and use the exposure for their gain, even if they don't win the whole thing.
1 hour till airtime and still wiating on the shirt company to get online ordering and Pat to give the thumbs up to go live. I think he's packing
A couple behind the scenes photos posted by a Casey Cattie... apparently she was/is another contestant.
Is that a spoiler?
I think he's the one who said his wife would kill him if he didn't pick Shakira.Was Pat told yet that he'll be on next week or are you just assuming?'[icon] said:
He has no idea which of the blind audition episodes he will be on, unfortunately.
Nope! At least not intentionally. I have NO idea what team pat is on other than if Blake turns around I'm 90% confident pat would pick him... and I'd be hard pressed to imagine blake NOT turning around. I guess I'll say that. I THINK his blind audition track is "Walkin in Memphis"... a track that is generally hated my beale street artists (and many memphians) for the fact that every last ####### that comes to town requests it over and over again.'Mile High said:Is that a spoiler?'[icon] said:'bryhamm said:
That said he mentioned the arrangement was badass.... and he genuinely liked it. Will see 
Seems to me the judges carry a wide variety of talent. Maybe it is because they like to throw dart in the wind, or possibly the producers push them to expand from the traditional singer. I still look at that mariachi singer Blake had last year and wonder how he got in the elite 8.
Love that song! You mentioned earlier that he did not even tell his wofe. SHe couldn't go to the taping of the blind audition?I THINK his blind audition track is "Walkin in Memphis"... a track that is generally hated my beale street artists (and many memphians) for the fact that every last ####### that comes to town requests it over and over again.
I was mistaken... meant his band. Sorry. His wife was there with his daughters.Love that song! You mentioned earlier that he did not even tell his wofe.

At the risk of getting cheesy for a minute:Guy is the ultimate family man... Wife was previously married and 2 of his 3 daughters come from that marriage. About a decade ago I was recording a small solo acoustic coffee-shop style show of his (later self-released at shows) and he starts playing this one track "angels of my home" which he wrote right before the show, musing about what would happen to his young family if he died:Glad they got to share the moment.
Awesome line. I doubt my friends vote, but I will plug him on my FB page.
Agreed.. that one gets me every time.
Good stuff.At the risk of getting cheesy for a minute:Guy is the ultimate family man... Wife was previously married and 2 of his 3 daughters come from that marriage. About a decade ago I was recording a small solo acoustic coffee-shop style show of his (later self-released at shows) and he starts playing this one track "angels of my home" which he wrote right before the show, musing about what would happen to his young family if he died:
"I can always see the sky here, and my life makes perfect sense - 3 angels I was given, at another man's expense - you gave me reason to believe in me, now I want you to know - You gave me life, now I must go - singing to the angels of my home".
A lot of his original stuff addresses his ongoing struggles with whether music is the right path for him or not. Likely a common theme with many artists I imagine. However, a personal favorite is a "future retrospect" track called Rock & Roll Hand (download MP3 here). Again, just a very raw "guy and his guitar" track from a decade ago but I love the song (sadly he's never recorded it). IMO that song would go for top dollar in nashville but he refuses to sell it.
He's stepped away from the Mic several times in his life for varying lengths of time... It's always bummed me out when he has. The guy has IT and deserves the break more than anyone I've ever met.
Really like that track you linked.
Good stuff.
Most of his stuff over the last half decade is much more upbeat rock/blues style : "Testify"
tease
I don't. Usher is ok but I really liked CeeLo and his bright out of this world clothing and banter. Shakira is a waste of space. She doesn't mesh with Blake and Adam and her only funny is her spanish stuff. I never saw her as an expert in spotting real talent nor Usher for that matter. CeeLo and Christina are old schooled so to speak and come across as really knowing their stuff.
I can't stand AI. After Simon left I started tuning out. This show to me is real. You are judging voices without silly antics or seeing what the person looks like.
So... Who's watching Tuesday night? I'm pretty stoked to see some great singers doing thier thang.
Subtle!So... Who's watching Tuesday night? I'm pretty stoked to see some great singers doing thier thang.
Christina was a total train wreck. Bat #### Crazy. That's what made her worth watching. Shakira, not so much.
Well represented. I wonder how Kris Thomas felt about all of the judgeswho didn't turn being shocked that he was a guy.FYI another memphis talent, Grace Askew will be airing soon... she's definitely not one to overlook either.
Memphis Talent this year on The Voice and their Blind Audition Tracks:
• Sarah Simmons - "One of Us"
• Kris Thomas - "Saving all my Love For You"
• Grace Askew - ???
• Patrick Dodd - "Walking In Memphis"
• One more "Beale Street" guy who made it to the Blind Audition Stage but didn't get selected
Sorta a gut check as a man no doubt.... that said that CAN'T be the first time something like that has been mentioned to him. He did seem somewhat shocked that such a big deal was made of it though.Well represented.

Was this the one where they built up for 2 commercial breaks about the most shocking surprise yet?
Yes and yes. Though I can't remember who the guy was. I think it was someone on the "offbeat" side.
Yeah, don't know who is more annoying: him or Seacrest.. <_<Baloney Sandwich said:
