Thank you...she was my fave coming into the 'lives', but the song he picked for her was horrible!!!

What did she sing? I don't remember. Also, not a fan of Jacquie, I also hate how her name is spelled.

I like everyone left on Blake and Adams team. The guy with the huge beard is really good.

Christina has the best team, with Adam close behind...imo, Blake's team sucks.

I would agree. Adam does have a slight advantage, IMO, with having 3 left.

Christina has the two front-runners, IMO. Tessane I think goes the same route as that ringer from last year - she's good (they all are), I just don't find her compelling or interesting as an artist.

The New Orleans guy (Blake's team) and the prep and hipster on Adam's team are all interesting to me. I like all of them, and with the right music could see them having successful careers (all fairly marketable, too).

I was disappointed the Dia Frampton wannabe didn't go home this week.

I don't care for Tessane at all. I don't think she'd hit a marketable audience.

Jamaica. That's about it. I actually think the ringer from last year was better AND more accomplished.

What's more puzzling about the lack of commercial success (so far) of Voice winners is that we haven't heard much of anything from the rest - AI has had a number of pretty successful people that didn't win.

I think she's gonna be an alright star, if that makes sense. Maybe it's just because I hate the song she released though.

We clearly have very very different tastes in music. I thought Jacquie sucked this week and i'm not interested in hearing her sing. Caroline is good but thought she was pretty bleh this past week too.

I like Cole, Ray, James, and Will the most. Overall not a fan of female singers that much or R&B/Pop, so i don't care for Christinas team at all.

Yeah, it appears we do. To be honest, I thought this weeks' lives were blah all the way around, and fwiw, Caroline is my third favorite behind Jacquie and Matthew.

Which forms a vicious circle with his normally being the last/only choice for singers.

It is beyond me why they asked Cee Lo to come back, when Usher knocked the whole coaching thing out of the park.

Also, XTina is pissing me off this year. She just seems like an incredible bitch, which makes me want to fuck her less.

I find in the live rounds they don't say anything negative and when they do they go "if i have to say something, and I'm being hyper critical..."

I thought most of Jacquie's performance sucked and they all went "it was awesome, there was that really tiny, little, off note, but i'm just being super critical" Fuck that, she sucked for half the song but they don't say shit.

I just don't care for the tone of Jacquie's upper range. I do think her and Caroline are more original than most of the others, but Caroline's range is fairly limited.

Caroline does have that "comforting" tone, but it get boring pretty quick. Can't imagine listening to a whole album of hers.

I like Matthew and he has an incredible voice, but he's getting kind of boring, too, turning everything into a gospel song.

First of all, Cee-Lo and Xtina have no place on this show. They add absolutely nothing of any entertainment value. Shakira and Usher were much better. At least Xtina has gotten hot again though.

This is the first year I haven't really had a clear favorite. I like Cole, Caroline, Jacquie and Ray the most.

XTina is a better "coach," than bumbling Shakira. However, Shakira probably would have improved.

Maybe, but Shakira was much more entertaining and witty. That's why people like Adam and Blake so much, they are entertainment.

Time for Tessanne to go home (she just bores me, probably the only one left who I haven't really liked a single performance). And probably Ray Boudreaux. Caroline was better this week, but she got saved last week.

I thought Matthew was garbage last night. Also wasn't a fan of what Cole sang at all. And I hate how staged Jacquie's performance was.

I thought James and Will killed it.

Liked Will and Jacquie, and I just wasn't impressed with James--regardless of what bs Adam was trying to gush.


edit: fwiw, I can't stand Christina and her incessant ramblings--I echo the STFU sentiment :RpS_angry:
