The playoffs continue...
Kristen (no relation to Malcolm) Merlin singing "Two Black Cadillacs": Another country song I don't really know, but Kristen did a really good job on it. There were a couple of very brief, very minor pitch issues but other than that this was a really strong performance for her, especially with those good power spots at the end.
Deja Hall singing "Battlefield": She picked something different than the ballads she has been doing, which I like and the coaches usually like because it shows growth. I wasn't really thrilled with Deja during the practice, but was extremely pleased with "Shak" in the jeans and shirt showing her abs. Yum :)
Not bad, but I just don't feel the energy from her on this song. I don't know if it's nerves but she seems like she is just singing the song instead of feeling or performing the song. She's 16, cute and loaded with talent so while I don't think this performance will take her to the next round, I certainly believe she has a future in the music industry.
Tess Boyer singing "Human": This is going to be interesting because Katy Perry songs can be deceptively difficult. Tess has a voice that may be able to pull it off though, the practices were okay. She has a really good lower register, at times as she worked toward that first almost-acappella part she sounded hauntingly like Carol Carpenter (minus the eating disorder). This song has lots of range and lots of great moments, but not moments many singers can take full advantage of them. She did a really good job, she should make the next round.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to recognize her absolutely gorgeous lower register (*insert vagina joke here*).
Really bizarre, awkward moment as Carson gives her one last mention to the audience at the end of the segment.
Oh God! The Gary Busey commercial for Amazon FireTV is hysterical!!!
Patrick Thomson singing "Trouble": This should be a GREAT song for his gravelly voice but I would still like to hear him pull back on the grit more and use it for special occasions. He fell out of the pocket a little at the end of the first verse and -as with Deja- he doesn't seem to be really performing the song, only singing it (except for some few, shining moments). He was spot-on with the notes though. Very possible contender for the next round.
Dani Moz singing "Edge of Glory": The snippets of this performance of this song thus far have been really good. The practice had some shaky moments but was mostly good. Another instance of a couple of very brief, very minor pitch issues but she makes up for it with the rest of the performance and for doing such a stripped-down version (less music = less to hide your mistakes behind). Really good power moments at the end and fantastic transitions in and out of them. She deserves to make the next round.
At this point I would go with Tess, Kristen & Dani if I were "Shak". The other coaches seem to give Patrick a lot more leeway because of the unique grit he has, so he may squeeze Kristen or Dani out.
And the "Shak" pack isssss: Tess, Kristen & Dani
Delvin Choice singing "Let's Stay Together": He has the style to do it, but his pitch in practice started very poorly. The performance started well. He hit a bit of a lower register early in the song but then never went back to it, if he moves on I would like to hear more of it.
I usually don't like lots of runs, but for the most part he did them in ways that made sense... except right at the end he milked it a bit too much for my taste. His pitch was good, there might have been once or twice where it got alllllmost off-key but it was a strong performance. I would like to hear him sing that song with a good producer working with him on it.
Jake Barker singing "She'll Be Loved": Considering his lack of experience, I think this is a great song choice for Jake. No one could possibly coach him better on this song than the guy that sings lead on it for a living. Solid start, not a big fan of the extra runs he's putting in. A couple of pitch issues during the song, enough that I don't think he makes it to the next round (especially not when competing against Christina Grimmie and Delvin Choice).
I guess this is the round where the other coaches don't really critique the performances because none of the coaches mentioned his getting off-pitch. Maybe they were taking his lack of experience into account? I guess I'm just a hardass.
Kat Perkins singing "Open Arms": What's crazy about this choice is that Steve Perry sings higher than Kat sings at normally. She has a good Broadway sound at the beginning, a nice, pure tone but she got quite a bit pitchy leading into the first power section and it seemed to go in and out throughout that entire chorus part. Something about the way she sustains the word "arms" when she sings it... it's almost like nails on a chalkboard to me. She was definitely into this song, Deja and Patrick could have learned a lesson or five about being "into" the song... if they were still on the show. ;)
No one else was hearing her pitch issues? Good lord, maybe I need to get my ears replaced.
Morgan Wallen singing "Stay": He sounds good with this song in the practice. This is supposed to be a country song but the arrangement and his voice make it rock (except for the chorus, where the arrangement gets a little country). He had a couple of small pitch issues and possible moments where he seemed to have lost a little breath.
Christina Grimmie singing "I Won't Give Up": Great sound at the beginning of practice, then falls to crap. Adam's coaching on that is dead on. The performance was absolutely flawless. Not only did she stay on beat and on-key, she PERFORMED that song! She's definitely in the next round, no question about it.
My picks for Adam's team: Christina, Delvin... and a toss-up that I would pick Morgan for, but it will probably be Kat.
And the members of Adam's team going on to the next round are: Christina, Delvin & Kat.

Everything about her comes off ridiculously fake.

She's about as real as they come IRL.

Who is Carol Carpenter?
Shak has a pretty strong team.
I'm with you in Kat. I wasn't as bowled over as the judges, but I agree that she should move forward. I sure liked little Jake though, partly because he amazes me with no performance background at all. He's a virgin and I'm sorry we won't get to see how he would have progressed.

Uh, Karen Carpenter?
ETA: Adam and Shakira both have strong teams. This will be interesting.

Finally caught up...
Tess was the only no-brainer to advance on Shakira's team, and Deja was a no-brainer to get cut. I thought she was flat out terrible, and it was probably the first time this season I was wishing Christina was still there so someone would tell the girl the truth.
I'd have gone with Patrick and Dani, but I have no problem with Kristen either. Those three were all about the same to me performance-wise.
For team Adam... I thought Jake was weak, and sounded too much like Adam on his own song. He didn't stand out at all. Delvin and Christina were the stand-outs in my opinion, and I think I'd have gone with Morgan #3, but I'm not surprised that he took Kat. What is it with people named Kat on this show?
So far I think Sisaundra, Tess, Delvin, and Christina are the ones with a legit shot at winning. The rest are just fodder for the live rounds. Of course, I would have never thought Tessanne had a chance to win, so what do I know...

I've usually been pretty accurate with who I think is going to go home and who I think is going to win.
Until last season.

I thought maybe there was another singer named Carpenter with an eating disorder. I didn't see the likeness to Karen, either. I'll have to watch for that. Posted on 4/15/14 at 1:11 pm to LSUBoo

Bria is up tonight, she is not fodder if she controls herself and doesn't scream an entire song. Like I said, Blake was a dumbass not to keep Tess on his team and should have paired her against Ryan, who he let go, too. Grimmie finally brought it last night, she is legit. I liked Morgan, I could listen to him, and thought Adam might keep him to carry a guy but he did the right thing IMO.

Did I miss a memo about Delvin?
And yeah I like Bria but she hasn't gone yet.

The judges got it right, I agreed with 11 of the 12 picks. The only one I would have changed was one of Blake's, taking Ryan instead of Jake. That said Jake is more popular, and I enjoy his personality, but I felt Ryan was the better singer.
Sisaundra, and Josh are my standouts for front runners. Everyone has a very strong team this time around, Usher's on paper might appear the strongest.

Interesting because I thought Usher's team overall might be the weakest at this point. Things change, though, from this point forward and I loved Josh with Bria. Just behind tonight. After those two, I didn't care who he picked.

I haven't been interested in her since the auditions (and I wasn't really thrilled with the beginning of her audition), so I haven't gotten the love for her at all. She gets pitchy and her range is limited. She has great power and really gets into the song, but she has yet to strike me as being worthy of the tremendous amount of praise she gets.

The Playoffs Continue... again...
T.J. Wilkins singing "Tell me Something Good": Good sound during practice. Sounds just as good on-stage. He seemed nervous at first but then just before he got into the skatting part, he really got into the song and made it more fun. Very solid performance, great song choice for his voice as well.
Adam seems to be going to the "that's one of my favorite songs" well too often.
Melissa Jimenez singing "Halo": Interesting song, it could be really good for her but during practice her lower register sounded like crap on a stick. I still wasn't thrilled with "sound", I think she just went too low with it and it sounded bad because of that. The rest of the song was tight with some very impressive power moments, especially that really high set of tones she hit. Not sure if it will be enough to push her into the next round as there seemed to be some missed points, but that depends on her competition.
Stevie Jo singing "The Thrill Is Gone": I got so excited from hearing him say the song choice that I missed the first part of the practice lol! This could be a reeeeeally could choice for him. He seems to be rushing it here in the beginning. His performance is going from meh to incredible then back to meh. He seemed to lose his breath a bit around his power moment then spent had a hard time getting it back. He pulled it back in toward the end but still seemed a tiny bit off at the very, very end. He was incredibly into the song though, that may help get him into the next round.
Bria Kelly singing "Wild Horses": I. fricking. LOVE! When Women. Sing. This. Song. A little shaky at the beginning, but incredibly minor. She seems to have pitch issues with her vibrato, which is when she is singing softly. While she sounds awesome when belting the notes out, that issue will probably hurt her in the Lives. Those issues were at the beginning, but her strong finish and how into the song she got helps cover that issue. She should definitely make it into the Lives.
Josh Kaufman singing "It Will Rain": Sounded really good in the practice. fricking great performance. There's no way he doesn't make the Live shows with this. *drops mic and walks off*
My picks would be: TJ, Bria & Josh.
The picks of "Ush" are: Bria, Josh & TJ.
Good teams, well balanced. My picks at the moment are Christina, Sisaundra and possibly Josh (although Tess really impressed me this week).
