I’ll be glad when it’s fan voting

Not what I meant. I should have stated it better I guess. I think they overreact over simply average performances.

I don’t need them putting people down. I just feel they are too easily impressed.

I can see that. They do seem to heap praise a little too much.

You can tell when they're not all that impressed, but you have to read between the lines too much.

Garrett got in???

Yeah this was a much weaker group than last week and they were definitely scraping the barrel for guys.


Jurnee, Maddie, Ada, and maybe Marcio are the only ones that have a chance at Top 5 from that group.



So four go home next week to make top 10? Do the judges make the cut or is it fan voting?

Garrett is definitely gone and hopefully the Latina girl, Woodward, and Caleb are gone too.


Right now my top 5 are Cade, Lorenzo, Jurnee, Brenns, and Catie. But it’s pretty obvious Ada will be top 5 if the judges have anything to say about it.

I think the judges are entertaining and genuine. Their critiques can feel a bit too lenient at times


luke bryan is an idiot

katy perry makes the show all about her

lionel richie is either senile, stoned or both



still like Gabby,Mara,Cade and Journee



Dragula will make top 5-6 just because

No use for marcio

Maddie is pretty good

Michelle is getting by on looks

I kind of like Dennis Lorenzo

Quirky girl will likely make top 8-10

Garrett should be the next one out. followed by Michael

I started watching the Sunday show last night, and then deleted it.

Way too drawn out and overproduced for me, and it really seems like the talent is light years behind older seasons. At least on average.

These duets have been underwhelming.

This.^^^

I hadn’t paid much attention to her up until now. Her bouncy performance a couple weeks ago was just okay. But she freaking killed it with that Whitney Houston song on Sunday night, then upheld that standard again in her duet.

She kind of reminds me of Haley Reinhart or Katharine McPhee. They both started out under the radar, but their voices got bigger and bigger as time went on, and before you knew it they were in the final 2 or 3. Haley has put out some great music. I stil listen to her Zeppelin cover (What Is and What Should Never Be), as well as House of the Rising Sun. Great renditions.

Ada Vox can hit all the notes, but something is missing in the tone of its voice for me - too screechy. If it were a woman and had a woman’s tonal quality, it’d be the favorite for sure. Still looking forward to some cool song arrangements though.

New Orleans dude got carried because they need a couple heart throbs to keep the teeny bopper crew tuned in. He’s overrated.

Jurnee is the odds on favorite I think because they are going to pump the liberal agenda hard with her, and the voice and look is there. They’ll carry Ada as far as they can, but in the end America won’t vote for that - especially if Adam Lambert couldn’t even get a win.

Off topic, but last night on The Voice, one of Blake's guy's mic dropped during the song. The guy stayed cool and just went down to the ground and kept singing. The video is funny stuff when it was over.

That's badass right there. I would have thought it was planned just because it synced up perfectly with the arrangement.

I mean, they haven't even mentioned her being a lesbian at all in her last two performances. I don't think they're pushing any agenda. She's just fricking good, she's hot, and she's got the "it" factor. That's what will carry her forward.

I'm pulling for Dennis Lorenzo just because he's my style. Dude can do anything and isn't just a one trick pony. He's got star quality.

That's what I thought at first, also. The transition was smooth and it definitely fit right in. I think that's why Adam said he was going to add that move to his own.

I seen flukes happen to singers on the various shows over the years, but this one was definitely a highlight.

I liked the guy, but he didn't make the cut last night and I thought he should have.

Maddie and Ada are the 2 front runners ....

A whole lot of meh in between..

Most of the performances were drowned out by the music/crowd.. their voices just weren’t that good.

Watched the first half of last night's show.

Cade may not win this but, I think he will get signed somewhere. Sort of like Daughtry did.

Going live for America's vote and the studio sounded like listening to a football game on ESPN at a 100,000 seat stadium. Something was definitely off.

Gabby Barrett mastering Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” found me searching who she sounds like. At least on this one, I realized to me she resembles Carrie Underwood's voice.

Another surprise was Michael J. Underwood. He could make some noise.

And why does Michael J. Underwood sound like a white name and Gabby Barrett sound black?

Maddie Poppe, like her, too. Hey anyone who can follow up "Brand New Key" with "Homeward Bound" has my vote.

Finally Ada Vox. He's/She's starting to get on my nerves. Sure he/she can sing, but it's beginning to scream a lot. Reminds me of Adam Lambert with a lot of makeup. Maybe they'll just start calling he/she "Madam Lambert". Before this is over, I may need brain surgery.
