re: The Voice--Season 6 thread

Jake is from my same hometown of La Porte. The whole town is going crazy over him. There are signs all over the town to vote for him and everyone seems to really be getting behind it. I have never met jake personally, but my mom knows him pretty well and she says he is one of the most genuinely nice kids she has ever met.

Last night there was a big watch party at one of the local restaurants and from pictures I have seen from it, there was not an empty seat.

La Porte is a relatively small town so this is one of the biggest things to happen there probably ever.

While I don't think he will win the show I really hope he goes far. Haven't watched the show until now because of him and I actually like it a lot better than any of the other singing shows.





A local sign shop made these and there are literally hundreds of them all over town.

Your town must have brought out the vote for young Jake. I was so glad he was saved. He's a good kid and I agree that he won't win, but I like him and want him to stick around. I really thought he'd be in the bottom.

I hate the twitter save. Why bother voting the night before when you have to vote again. The bottom two should be the two to leave. Bunch of hooey.

I'd bet Tess wasn't in the bottom two though. I was surprised she was in the bottom at all. TJ was better than Delvin to me, but he was eventually going home. So was Dani. Glad Kristen wasn't in the bottom.

1. Christina
2. Josh
3. Tess
4. Bria
5. Delvin
6. Sisaundra
7. TJ
8. Big Jake
9. Dani
10. Kristen
11. Kat
12. Audra

Sampsonite.

I'm glad Tess was saved at least. Audra might end up going a lot further than I expect, well, she already has.

TJ's issue was that he was just so incredibly smooth, and on point. Everything he did was so flawless and clean. That said he never really had those wow moments, moments of power which knocked your socks off or gave you the chills. His tone was so clean, he should have been around a good bit longer than he was.

And that's the problem. There is no "wow" moment in "Waiting for the Word to Change." There aren't any huge notes to be sung. And I agree, he has a great tone and sounds good. But you need a song with some vocal range to show off your capabilities every week. Song choice is so so important.

I don't really have a quarrel with the results last night.

When Delvin stays under control, his voice is amazing.

Josh is my favorite, I think.

I hope Josh continues to impress. He's a cool dude.

$$$$
Only way to encourage people to watch live and milk the sponsors for more ad money

For those that give zero shits about voting and will watch the shows in 1/3 of the time it would take to watch live (<--------), it's of no consequence and just redundant

Sassaundra or whatever her name is, is the Tess of last season, this season.

I agree on Shakira. I didn't like her voice at all on that song. I kept thinking "baby talk". Good song with a different voice. I figured all you guys had to take a cold shower after watching her.

I was going to do my usual in-progress stream-of-thought post, but the site was down while I was watching, so just going to have to go off memory here...

Considering only two were being axed that meant (to me) Christina, Josh and Sisaundra were no-brainers. I felt really comfortable with Tess staying and just KNEW Jake was a goner.

I was very wrong on the last two points. Jake has done well over the course of the show with Monday night being the exception, I guess that and his personality helped carry him.

Dani was one I had pegged as being a possible elimination. Her song was just meh and she had some issues. TJ was good, but he seemed like he always held back too much. It was like he was focusing too much on the technicalities and not enough on feeling the songs. He seemed to come out of that shell a bit on his last song but it was too little too late.

"Shak" and her new song...

1. Obvious lip sync if obvious, especially when she can't decide whether she wants to do the front voice or the background "oooo" and goes back and forth because of it.

2. I have never been a fan of that back-of-the-sinuses/throat thing she does and this song was fuuuuuuuull of that, and it was in all the wrong places.

Bump

So far, Kat was good. I love the sing. She performed it well, but I felt it came off as more of a cover.

Tess was really good. I don't know the song.

Audra did a great job. Has some nice moments. Probably her best and way better than the first two. Surprised me.
