re: The Voice---Season long thread

One thing about Bangs-Tina is that she's super-dedicated to her team. Dez is the only one she has left in the competition so she's even more rabid.

Dez isn't bad, but his sex appeal (nohomo) has carried him far enough along until he was able to find his crooner-ish groove (I agree with Blake that that's what he needs to stick with).

I think Cody goes home this week as well. He did great on the Queen song (pun?) but I just don't think he has any more "Jolene" moments left in him.

Personally, I think it's time for Trevin to go. Before crucifying me on a burning cross, here's my reasoning... Trevin is almost all power. He has good softer and lower-register singing... good but not great. He only shines when he is belting out power so hard I feel like I am in an old Memorex commercial.



His softer game (as proven tonight) is still a bit shaky. Let him get off the show and have he freedom for someone to come along and mold him into the next Luther Vandross (because that's something that WILL happen whether he wins or not, bank on it).

I think he already has the following to keep him on the show, but I would choose to let him go if it were up to me because of that and I am just over him.

Amanda has been one of my favorites to watch. I love her voice and her song choices. I think she had a reeeally good night but needs another Dream On to make it beyond next week.

Nicholas David - I hope he wins. This guy just oozes classic soul. I thought the song choice was fantastic tonight but really want to hear him tear into something like "You Are So Beautiful" and leave it sweaty and panting on the ground.

Melanie comes and goes with me, this weekend was definitely a comer. The popular version of that song is so forceful and angry and comes across as "I'm so fricking done that I am going out to get shitty drunk and frick some slut!11!!1", but her rendition was hauntingly beautiful and came across as "You aren't worth being upset about anymore so please, just go frick yourself".

I think Terry will be the other person going home tomorrow. He gives solid performances but I just don't see a rocker winning this show.

Cassadee had another smart and stellar performance. She stays.



tl;dr - Cody and Terry go home, Trevin needs to work on anything that's not loud.
