The Voice 2012 - Knockout Rounds - Team Christina

bakatais commented on 31 Oct 2012

I like team Christina a lot. It might not be diverse, but it is full of powerhouse vocalists. Adrianna, Dez, Sylvia, and De'borah are all strong. Dez is specially makertable and will easily get the female votes. Devyn has to step up her game to keep up with the other 4.

TroubleSnubbull commented on 01 Nov 2012

Laura's voice was " orgasmic " I meen wow :O and I agree that Deborah annihilated the song but chevonne's voice is so special I really enjoy the craziness she brings and the pitch " problems " she has is what I think makes her voice likable to me anyways

Christopher Johnson commented on 31 Oct 2012

Eh is what I thought of Christina's battles. Before the battles I only liked Slyvia in which I still do but Adrianna was very good and this was her best. I have so many mixed emotions on Blake but I'll address them in his video.

robertantonnyc commented on 01 Nov 2012

I don't know why I didn't really like Chevonne's voice; it just rubbed me wrong. I'm sure she's a sweet girl and she'll be back on tour in no time.

Christopher Johnson commented on 31 Oct 2012

Your welcome. Its like Blake said Christina has 5 pop singers but hey its what she kniws best! Is mackensie Bourg considered pop or Indie?

robertantonnyc commented on 31 Oct 2012

Well Thank You. the other one is uploading now. I don't like breaking them up like this but it does make sense for this round.

AltRockAddict commented on 31 Oct 2012

De'Borah Garner sings You Found me by The Fray. WHEN can I get it on iTunes??????

robertantonnyc commented on 31 Oct 2012

Well, I'd say pop but there's a huge amount of sublevels to pop

robertantonnyc commented on 31 Oct 2012

I think she has quite a marketable and even sexy team.

Thank Thank Thank You! Glad you enjoying them

weakvsfire commented on 28 Sep 2012

OK; I just had to check to see if you were annoyed at the same thing I was with this episode; That pissed me off soooo much; Yolanda's voice is so amazing; I could see her delivering every performance if she made it to the show; I recall last season Adam getting frustrated that the people who did make it weren't delivering (with some exceptions); That wouldn't have been an issue with an experience singer like Yolanda; Ugh, though is she is well trained; not sure what else a couch could do

Lisa Murphy commented on 27 Sep 2012

Yes she did, you are absolutely right. I think I was just trying to see it from the other side, but you are right, Yolanda was very good. I just wanted to make the point that since the judges are so obviously biased -- they rejected a good singer around 60 last season -- the producers should find older people who sound younger so that we can see an older person get on a team. But yes, Yolanda was a better singer than about half the singers who got on teams. Anyway, nice video Robert.

0nlyAViewer commented on 28 Sep 2012

they need to change the name of the show to "The YOUNG Voice". Yoland Barber, should have, no question, been selected. She IS marketable. There actually ARE people who want to listen to good singers, not bubble gum pop music. Who are the greats we remember? Ella Fitzgerald..Sarah Vaughn....Tony Bennett... Tony still sells out a crowd and has great duet albums. Ok, done ranting. I just hope this "diss" turns out something fabulous for Yolanda Barber!!!

ItsMeTashia commented on 27 Sep 2012

I thumbed up cause im ready for the battle rounds!!! oddly enough, i enjoyed this episode. some great singers came through and I liked them. you hit the nail on the head with this one!! i agree with you on it all. YES you better give out them tips!!! *grabs pen and pad* i too was sad that yolanda didn't get any turns, i agree you could hear her age. i was wanting her to do a more current song, but Get Here is classic and a true singer should be able..

Lisa Murphy commented on 27 Sep 2012

On Yolanda -- I agree that she was shafted because the 4 coaches didn't want an old person on their team. They could certainly tell she was over 40. However I don't think a woman that age needs to sound so old. I'm 58 and I sound pretty young (check my channel if you're curious). I think Yolanda and that other lady's voice sounded a bit too weathered. The Voice producers should find older people who still sound young, and trick those ageist judges.

Lisa Murphy commented on 28 Sep 2012

Yeah, the industry is stupid if they exclude any demographic because there are always, always exceptions. Tony Bennet for instance. And I also remember George Burns had a huge hit song at age 90. Placido Domingo is 71 and sounds great. Sting and Stevie Wonder are over 60 and still great. I think it's sad that The Voice has basically telegraphed to every lady over fifty that she will be rejected if she's goes on that show.

Victoria Garrett commented on 26 Sep 2012

I just don't like Cassadee's voice at all. I watched her band rise and fall, I saw her and her band twice and have a few songs on my iPod. I just can't stand it, it literally gives me a headache. It's also not fair that she already had a record deal. This is the 3rd time someone that used to be a little bit known (from the band scene) has made it on to the show and its not fair to the other contestants.

TruthSerum101 commented on 26 Sep 2012

Just went to watch a clip of Yolanda Barber. You are right. She can outsing everyone on that panel. It is especially frustrating because the audience vote plays a big part in the outcome. Let them decide how marketable someone is. Christina's excuse about teams and types was nonsense. As I've said before, these are actually anti-teams. The initial task is to devour your own teammates, etc.

robertantonnyc commented on 26 Sep 2012

She is very very special. I know I'm not the only one who's totally upset with the coaches on this. It's a shame, but still a reality (pun intended), that major labels are still geared toward the youngest demographic. If you keep in touch, send her my love and all the love of the ppl who were rooting for her. Hopefully she picks up some gigs or a more permanent gig from this.

Lorraine Ferro commented on 26 Sep 2012

Robert, Robert, Robert!!!!! Can I tell you how much I LOVE your reviews?!?! Testify, Amen! I tuned in to your video review tonight because Ms Barber and I were roommates and became friends during our experience on the Voice!! Isn't she just the real deal?! I am SO happy that so many people are upset about the outcome of her audition! Robert, you didn't even get half the

Lorraine Ferro commented on 26 Sep 2012

@Rrainesong27 experience of Yolanda's real and fun personality on top of her talent from that segment! "Mama Yo" as the younger contestants called her, was always game for fun or to lend an ear, or to give a pep talk. I love this woman, and we shared our faith and love of God and reminded each other we were here for a purpose...to serve. Man, I hope she

Jennifer Shadle commented on 02 Oct 2012

I am so glad that I am not the only person upset about this! I mean, since when is age an issue? Frankie Valli is still a big deal! Gah. I was practically yelling at the screen! Anyway, I'm glad you thought she was great too. Hopefully something happens for her- at the very least, I hope she can stop driving that bus!

tosarge commented on 26 Sep 2012

Yes she was in a band called Hey Monday and then went solo for awhile. She has quite a internet following which probably will give her a edge in the voting, If she survives the battle rounds. I don't think she did so well in the audition which surprised me cuz she's been on stage a lot.

Miguel Nigel commented on 26 Sep 2012

I love you Carson! But, I was already on the the fence about a few moments from season 2(some undeserving talent there) . For me The Voice's integrity has been damaged by what happened to Yolanda! I thought this show was about the voice! Feeling a little shallow and formatted! A shame!

robertantonnyc commented on 27 Sep 2012

Yeah, I think the way she sounds and the things she's gone through all adds to the connection ppl will have with her. The coaches are probably doing what they've been taught by the industry. I'd expect that from everyone up there except Ceelo tho.

robertantonnyc commented on 26 Sep 2012

I would generally agree that it's not fair but The Voice has made it clear that they are looking ppl who didnt make it for whatever reason. As long as they put it out front that they've had record deals and all that then I guess I'm fine with it.

tosarge commented on 26 Sep 2012

Cassadee Pope is a much better singer than what she brought tonight, I been following her for quite awhile on YT, must have been nerves like you said. No real standouts tonight just a lot of pork :D thumbin' you ^ good review

TruthSerum101 commented on 10 Nov 2012

Gosh, I wonder how many people sat in a room and decided that "This Life" was a good choice. It might turn out to be a hit but it is LAME. Jermaine pushes and pinches that little voice of his to its limits, doesn't he? Trevin on the other hand, has a creaminess that I dig. His tone sometimes reminds me of Billy Porter. He riffs like Billy/Whitney too.

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

Yeah, They haven't had a Star yet on The Voice. I wonder why. It's not for lack of talent. I actually just watched the video for the song and wasn't crazy about that either and they threw a lotta autotune on his voice; maybe that's what he was tryna emulate. Oy. I wish him well.

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

He's got a whole album coming in Dec; let's hope that's not the best he got. I don't think he ever really pinned down the genre of music he should be performing. He seemed to want to go rock in the competition but this is so far from it.

PinkCircleO8 commented on 10 Nov 2012

I thought it was RIGGED!!!!!!! MACKENZIE DESERVED TO MOVE THROUGH!!!! CODY DIDN'T IMPROVE EXCEPT FOR HIS VOICE GETTING MORE ANNOYING!!!!!! CEELO WAS WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!! UGH!!!! I'M TEARING UP NOW!!!!

TruthSerum101 commented on 10 Nov 2012

We shall she. I mean, it's not like you have to have a great song to have a hit. Jermaine is just average to me though. Dem high notes don't fool me.

Christopher Johnson commented on 10 Nov 2012

I prefer the style he had on "Get Out of My Car", "Living on a Prayer" and "Against All Odds". So I hope there are g like that on the album.

Christopher Johnson commented on 10 Nov 2012

I liked Jermaine's performance, not the song but how he sung it and his voice were awesome. I just hopehe eventually does get better songs.

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

LOL. Don't get so emotional; even Adam said "it's all a game now" America didnt vote for Mackenzie so it's America's fault; not Ceelo's.

PinkCircleO8 commented on 10 Nov 2012

Well, Ceelo chose to save Cody. I thought Cody's voice was so super annoying. I'm not tearing up anymore. But I'm still pissed somewhat.

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

I thought it was something like that but really didnt go back to look at my notes. I'll change it now

robertantonnyc commented on 11 Nov 2012

man, I wish she woulda picked De'Borah but she has to go with who she wants. I LOVE D

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

Woohooo! I think it's still open. Today is the last day for public voting, I think.

Heather_chan commented on 15 Nov 2012

who knows the link to the video with diego and mackenzie facing elimination

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

I think so too but you can't argue too much with the voters, I guess.

robertantonnyc commented on 10 Nov 2012

I was surprised that he didnt get more of the popular vote. Ah well.

Still voting but the decide in a few weeks. Thanks for asking ; -- )

jeffrey datto commented on 21 Nov 2012

Good job with the recap. Im happy with who got voted off. Next week though anyone could go. But my prediction is trevin and terry. Trevin is too pitchy with the low notes. I believe he still needs to grow into his voice and terry well what is against him is that he isnt even from this country so in the end we will vote for our own first if all are pretty equal. Cheers

tosarge commented on 21 Nov 2012

Melanie has gone from my least favorite to my favorite. Cassadee seems to be slipping into that country/rock genre very comfortably, could be what she needs. Glad your favorites got thru also. Dez has the screaming female vote locked up and it's gonna be hard to overcome that. Thanks Robert for the reviews,

Patrick Glanville commented on 21 Nov 2012

why the hell is Melanie Martinez still in this competition? she's horrible. do you really think Melanie is better than Sylvia? I know you're happy about Amanda etc. but I'm shocked that you passed over the fact that Melanie is still on this show. She is very very bad. Still in z shock.

tosarge commented on 21 Nov 2012

yes it does make it interesting, then you have to wait and see who gains the votes of another contestant being voted off. I think Melanie is at a disadvantage there because she is so unique. The top 10 thing could be the deceiding factor the more it goes on.

topgymrat commented on 21 Nov 2012

I think America got it right. I don't know why Amanda and Trevon where at the bottom 4, may be they just wanted to make it dramatic, I don't know - but I was extremely nervous. I do think America liked and enjoyed Cody performance and they rewarded him.

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

I'm just wondering what I said about Melanie that would make you think I'd want her to win? not even close. I thought she'd be gone tonight but I guess the audience loved her rendition enough to buy it up like hotcakes and keep her around.

robertantonnyc commented on 26 Nov 2012

Sry, I was outta town for the Holidays and didnt even see it yet. All I watched was Carly's performance. Did you check out Big Tasia's commentary. She's my recommendation tho I haven't watched any commentary either.

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

I knew they were gonna save him for damn near last cause he did that uptempo song; they wrong for that AND for Amanda Brown, but I aint mad at em. It's was drama for me the whole show. lol. mission accomplished.

TruthSerum101 commented on 21 Nov 2012

They sent the right two packin'! I wouldn't have turned my chair for either of them. Poor Trevin was up there sweatin' like Sarah Vaughan - they had his nerves so bad, waiting that long. Good for Amanda!

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

Melanie has a good enough voice but she's in the show because America made her song #8 on the iTunes charts. She obviously got a lotta love right where The Voice thinks it's important: Cash sales.

BURNINGHAMMER76 commented on 21 Nov 2012

Sylvia deserved to stay over Cody... Cody is not good enough to still be here. I hate to say it but its true. He was good to make it to the knock outs, but seriously his leaving is way over due

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

that's a lotta pressure ; -- ) I was screaming more than that when they first announced my ppl had gone through. Should start having the camera set up for the results.

jayrob9889 commented on 21 Nov 2012

Dr Jeff. I couldn't disagree more with you. Terry isn't going anywhere. It's Cody and nick. Next round. Sorry but true. I predict Amanda brown to take the whole thing.

robertantonnyc commented on 25 Nov 2012

I think he needs to flex his muscles a little. As an r&b artist, he's going to have to do uptempo. Hopefully he'll pick a more challenging song next time tho.

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

From my understanding, they don't call ppl in any particular order so Amanda and Trevin weren't necessarily in the bottom 4. It's just for dramatic effect.

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

Yeah, Dez is a hearthrob for sure and he did a great job last night, imo. It's anybody's game right now tho. Makes it interesting.

topgymrat commented on 21 Nov 2012

You may be right, but based on their performances this time Cody's was more enjoyable and memorable, so I'd pick Cody.

KobeAnd8 commented on 20 Nov 2012

Just finish watching the show and I'd have to say that it was the best Voice episode that I have seen thus far. Everyone had such great performances and there was good amount of variety as well. I loved it. My personal top highlight was Cassadee & Amanda, Both outstanding performances. Although I haven't really paid attention to Cody, as I think he'd get eliminated off the show soon, I was pleasantly surprised by this performance. I couldn't help but smile. He definitely raised his game.

tosarge commented on 20 Nov 2012

great commentary as always, it was a very entertaining show. If I had to pick 2 to leave it would be Terry and Cody. Terry just didn't bring anything thing special to that song at all. It's been so over done by so many bands it just needed something extra. Great opening performance on your video :D

Christopher Johnson commented on 20 Nov 2012

Would you say that Trevin might face the same fate as Avery? A singer with a strong fanbase who loses because he sung a party that didn't catch "wow" people over as before? I haven't been a fan of Trevin but I think there is more of an uptempo song that would have been better then this.

topgymrat commented on 21 Nov 2012

For me I felt like Christina was withholding praise for Amanda (at least that's what came across the TV with respect to her demeanor when commenting on her performance). My hunch is that she wishes Amanda was on her team because its becoming clearer that she could win this whole thing.

Lauren Newcomb commented on 20 Nov 2012

Ah I love Terry!!! Seriously he could barely stop coughing enough to give his performance, and he still was absolutely incredible! He couldn't bring it like he did for "Maybe I'm Amazed," but I forgive him for his this chest cold that's been dogging him all week... :D Go Terry!!!!

Lisa Murphy commented on 20 Nov 2012

You're so right about that arm waving, that was unnatural and obviously the stage manager ordered them to do it. For me it wrecked that song and spoiled a couple of others. The producer of that show has a compulsion to overdue presentation which is a shame....

RantingLuchador1 commented on 20 Nov 2012

I asked trevin to do something contemporary in your last video but scream isn't what I meant lol. I would've preffered climax or heart attack (trey songz). I wish Melanie and Bryan would go home but I think Cody will instead of Bryan.

Lauren Newcomb commented on 20 Nov 2012

Yeah, he was already coming down with the cold by last week's performance... but if (when!) he makes it to next week, he'll be over it and can sing like he did before the live rounds! I've missed good ol' classic rock on the Voice :D

maxit9 commented on 21 Nov 2012

i really feel like christina is being a lame, because she is always tryna criticize amanda on her direction as an artist yet contestants like cassadee and dez (I like both of them thou) choose song outside their genre . :\

TruthSerum101 commented on 20 Nov 2012

Nah, that kid's voice is just okay for me. I don't get the hype at all. I missed Amanda - shoot. I do like her though. I did, however, catch JHud singing I Got Love!!!! Looking forward to that.

robertantonnyc commented on 20 Nov 2012

She gotta sang if she gonna be a singer, don't she? lol. I haven't really felt her until the last 2 performances. She finally seems to be getting comfortable.

JCGrantatAC commented on 20 Nov 2012

I was channeling a line by Morris Day from "Purple Rain" when he was talking about Appolonia. :) I agree: her last two performances were special.

robertantonnyc commented on 20 Nov 2012

Yeah, I'll be glad to watch Smash again. except I'll be watching it later on Hulu cause I'll be doing commentary while it plays on tv.

robertantonnyc commented on 21 Nov 2012

I don't think Trevin will be in trouble tonight; he did a good job on the song and still showed off his vocals. Hopefully he'll be Ok.

TruthSerum101 commented on 20 Nov 2012

I didn't see much but I did catch the Usher song, Feeling Good and a very mediocre guy in a black hat. I didn't care for any of it.

robertantonnyc commented on 20 Nov 2012

Terry? OMG! His voice is so dang special. I doubt he'll be in trouble. Always good to hear from you. Have a good night.

robertantonnyc commented on 20 Nov 2012

I sure didnt know he had a cold. He produced like a true professional in any case but especially in that case.
