New Season Of The Voice

[wemple2]

I missed the first performance tonight...I'll go back and watch it later. I should start keeping notes...lol, I forget how much I liked some one in the blind auditions until I see clips of those.

Here is the official website for The Voice The Voice | NBC

It is a handy reference to which artists are on who's team, and updates who is left. Great cheat sheet to help us get to know the names.

Past performances are on this site too. Love it. Enjoy, and don't worry about posting comments.... it won't spoil anything cause I won't look at this thread again until the show is over tonight.

Thanks for posting the website...will be helpful.

Thanks for the website, I took notes but sure that I spelled some names incorrectly.

I really like the two different James that Adam has on his team, also Destiny from last night but not sure I like them better than those we saw before them.

I wasn't as impressed by anyone performing last night as last week. Maybe it was just my mood, but I don't think the songs some of the coaches chose were all that good, and didn't give the artists a chance to shine.

Nobody really stood out as fantastic, many were just equally OK, in my opinion. Hope tonight is better.

On my notes for the first and second group, I had 'hate the song' Maybe I'm showing my age but I like a good deal of the new music but could not stand those two.

Just played this one on another site, so I'll let you enjoy too. My favorite Pink Floyd. Of course not new but oh so cool.

That's why I'm fussy.

Back on topic.

I'm 58 but still listen to new music. There's some great stuff out there! I was thrilled last night when the 2 guys sang my favorite new song, "Counting Stars" by One Republic (check out the original on YouTube). Problem is, on The Voice they "over-sing" everything.

So what did everyone think about last night.

Loved that Soul Singer Show Down and so glad Preston won. He is my favorite for now.

Really like Olivia and Stephanie as well.

Crystal, Thanks for posting that youtube video...Love Pink Floyd. After I listened to that song I went looking for Comfortably Numb...love that song too!

As far as the performances this week didn't like the song choices. Some of the singers probably could have done better with a different selection...but the coaches choose what they want to see what the singer can do, I suppose.

Preston was really good. I'm still disappointed in song choices, and don't think they gave anyone much of a chance to really shine.

Instead of all out battles, in the Battle Rounds, it ended up more like a bunch of nicely performed duets. They just blended together more than standing out on their own. Not impressive IMO.

Well the Knock Out Rounds start next week and they get to choose their own song they want to sing. Can't wait for the Live Performances to start. Also I noticed last night, it was stated that there will be a steal in the Knock Out Rounds this year. That should prove interesting.

[MauiGirl]

That will perk things up a lot.

I sometimes wonder if they start with too big of teams.... so many have to be eliminated to get down to real competition.

I also kind of wonder if it's a good thing to allow some of the really young ones, like 15 and 16. There are some very talented young ones, but I sort of hate to see them thrust into business so early. I feel they should develop their talent and round out their lives more normally in those years, and maybe plunge into career performing after high school.

Just my opinion at the moment, what is yours?

I agree completely, why take these precious years ahead of them. That talent will still be there down the road.

You're right the voices did blend nicely but I am waiting to see what Preston can do alone. He has such a wonderful voice.
