The Voice Season 2 Episode Recaps with DJ Kwokodile [#12]

In the beginning of the season, I thought that Adam's team was by far the strongest and Cee Lo's was the weakest. Now I am beginning to think that Adam's team is weak and Cee Lo's is quite strong! Let's see how this continues to flow. I also did this post late, but this is my judgement before the results show.

Team Cee Lo

1. [Don't Leave Me This Way] - Cheesa
I'm still a little bitter that Cheesa was able to move on and not Angie Johnson. Her performance was ok, I guess, I thought she could have been more powerhouse-y and I didn't feel like this song did her voice justice. Cee Lo is not that great of a song picker, unless he is a great strategist and wants certain people to get out because of a song. I don't think she will move on, America will not forgive her for Angie.

2. [Don't Know Why] - James Massone
His voice is really good, it is a unique take on R&B. I feel like his voice is always autotuned, because it sounds unreal at certain times. This song was a good choice (maybe Cee Lo really wanted James to move on) and the girls loved him. I think he will move on through America.

3. [Roxanne] - Juliet Simms
Hands down best live show performance yet. There were no really really great songs last show, but her voice was enough to dominate the stage! Her gritty voice was amazing turning a bad sounding song with good lyrics to a great sounding song with good lyrics. America will definitely put her through and I think she will be #1 on TeamCeeLo!

4. [Everybody Wants to Rule the World] - Tony Vincent
I don't know, I wanted something creepy or rocky from Tony. I got a pop ballad from Broadway and I didn't really like it. It didn't fit his personality. Way to go Cee Lo, purposely screwing one of your great apprentices. America will not put him through, but I think Cee Lo will save him.

5. [Walk Like An Egyptian] - Erin Martin
Call me stupid, but I actually this song exhibited her voice better than any other song, mainly because it was an old 80s song and all music back then sounded like that. America still hates her, but I think she did decent. America will not put her through, I think America hates her with a passion, a 1 and a half star on iTunes? Yea, Nuf Sed.

6. [Are You Gonna Go My Way] - Jamar Rogers
Great voice. I loved Jamar since his blind auditions, love the Seven Nation Army song, so smart! I was a bit confused on why only Cee Lo turned around, I feel like Jamar is the 2nd best on Team Cee Lo and I would imagine he would be high up on other teams too. I think that Jamar will move on through America's vote.

Team Adam

1. [Tonight. Tonight] - Katrina Parker

I was a bit shocked at this song choice, since I thought it was by Hot Chelle Rae, but then I realized it definitely was not, she was pretty good, but would have liked a different sound choice! She looks and sounds like Adele with that type of ponytail! Just blond hair rather than brunette! I think she will move on, but I don't know which way, America or Adam.

2. [In Your Eyes] - Tony Lucca

For some reason, I don't really like Tony. I think his voice is rather bland, like Christina, and just because he was a Mousketeer, doesn't mean his friends like Justin Timberlake, should give him publicity. I think America will move on, oh, and I thought his performance was pretty good.

3. [Rolling In The Deep] - Kim Yarbrough

I agreed with the coaches thinking that with an Adele song, it is too risky to try to cover. So many pitch problems and since it is modern, people will be able to compare easily. I think she did decent, I liked No More Drama, better and I don't think she will move on.

4. [Ordinary People] - Mathai

I loved Mathai ever since blind auditions as well. One fact that I learned recently is that her name isn't Mathai. Her name is Sharon Mathai, she wanted a more unique stage name. She was really good and I think America will move her on.

5. [Airplanes] - Karla Davis

I wish she could have done more with this song, like took it slower and put her own twist on it. I like her iTunes version better, because it is recorded many times and autotuned. I don't think she will move on.

6. [When You Were Young] - Pip

I was very upset by this performance, I never pictured Pip as a rocker and I still don't I miss his nice ballads. I don't know if he will move on, it will between him and Katrina.

 I really liked Cee Lo's team, and I was shocked that there wasn't an exceptional amount of talent. I can't wait for tomorrow's live shows! Sorry for being so late.
