re: The Voice---Season long thread

- Cassadee brought it on both performances. She has come out to the front in the past couple weeks and is one of the favorites to win now

- Nicholas had a bad night IMO. I am a fan of his, but he was in the bottom 2 last night based on those performances. "September" was not good for him and shying away from the chorus was not smart. "Over the Rainbow" was solid but nothing fantastic.

- Trevin was meh with "Walking on Sunshine". He too like Nicholas seemed to have long stretches of not singing. Cant do that. I really enjoyed his second performance though. That's his bread and butter

- Amanda is flat out fricking awesome. I enjoy every single one of her performances and she killed both of these. I blame Adam a little for "Here I Go Again" as I think there are better songs in that mold for her but she did very well with it

- Terry had a good night again. Seemed a little off on the first performance but this guy is just a solid performer. I still dont think he has the overall WOW factor to win this thing though

- If it was never clear to anyone it should be clear now after last night that Melanie doesnt belong in the same stadium vocally with any of the remaining contestants. I get it - she's an artist. She does new twists on songs we know. That's great. She is not that talented vocally though. I am so tired of hearing her whisper sing through these songs. And WTF was that second performance?!?!? That honestly was the worst thing I have ever seen done on that show.

Rankings from last night:

1. Amanda
2. Cass
3. Trevin
4. Terrry
5. Nicholas













6. Melanie
