The Voice Season 2 Episode Recaps with DJ Kwokodile [#10]

First round of the live shows were pretty exciting. There were high points and low points. I think I know who America will pick. Since there is no way to have a negative votes, I think America will vote for Lindsey and RaeLynn. I am more confident in Lindsey than RaeLynn, because it is a big America, and Charlotte Sometimes is really cranking up iTunes as well, so it is anybody's game. (Except for Erin Willett and Sera Hill)

TEAM BLAKE 

1. [Livin' On a Prayer] - Jermaine Paul
Ok, I am really sorry, but Jermaine needs to stick to a certain genre. Dia was able to move around, but she incorporated her style everywhere she went. Jermaine is adapting to every genre he goes to! It was a very good performance, but he needs to get consistent followers, or else he is not going to get votes! I do not believe he will get America's vote, but I do think it is possible for him to move on.

2. [Wake Up Call] - RaeLynn
I was super surprised! I totally believed that RaeLynn wouldn't sound good at all. I think she has proven that she has serious pipes and stage presence. I also noticed that the microphone had a cord. Why would you need a  cord? I think (because I look at iTunes) that she will be saved by America.

3. [Turning Tables] - Naia Kete
I have never disliked Blake this much in my life! Telling Naia, no reggae made me really upset. Her performance was not bad, but it was not Naia! I totally agree with Christina! I wanted reggae! I do not think America will save her, but I think she might move on.

4. [Alone] - Jordis Unga
Redemption. Jordis definitely redeemed herself, her battle was awful, but her performance was spot on. I was glad to hear so much powerhouse! She is really talented, but I do not think America will move her on, but she might possibly move on.

5. [Living for the City] -  Erin Willett
I was very sad to hear that her dad passed away during her battle, but I don't know if she should have moved on. She definitely believe she has a great voice, but I find it boring, I really don't know why. I don't think she will move on.

6. [Misery Business] - Charlotte Sometimes
I was quite shocked or not shocked by this. She revealed a softer side to her voice, and I already have heard that soft side, so I wasn't that shocked. I thought it was good, but not her best. I do like her powerhouse more. Powerhouse singers just make me happy I guess. I think she will move on either by America's vote or some other way.

TEAM XTINA

1. [Bridge Over Troubled Water] - Chris Mann

I think he has an amazing classical/opera voice. He is truly talented in this area. I would like to say he doesn't need any editing to his voice, but since America is not all too in to classical, I don't think he will America's vote. I think he will still move one however.

2. [Stronger/Power] - Moses Stone

I was really pleasantly surprised by his performance, it was really good! I still have to go back to the roots of my belief of the show however, I do not believe rappers should be on the voice, yes he is talented, but I think he is done. I do not think he will move on.

3. [Somebody That I Used To Know] - Lindsey Pavao

I was so excited when I saw on iTunes that Lindsey was singing this song! I was extremely saddened by her performance however. I totally wanted the strong part, like Adam said, to be strong! It was still a good performance, and America seems to love her (well I knew they would)! 24 on iTunes chart! That is really good! I think America will move her on.

4. [Find Your Love] - Sera Hill

Totally Inappropriate. I did like the rendition, but it was terrible. I did not like it because of the male strippers. She will not move on. No further comment.

5. [Right Through You] - Ashley De La Rosa

I was super excited that Ashley had a pop rock side! I think that she shined. She had a flawless performance, and she is only 17 and she has so many dimensions to her voice! I do not think she will move on, but I know she has a bright future ahead of her.

6. [What A Wonderful World] - Jesse Campbell

Jesse never seems to fail. I love his voice, but I hate that he is on TeamXtina! Lindsey is on this team, and I would love both of them to go to the finals! I did feel like he did this song justice, but I would love a more contemporary song, because America would vote for that more. He will move on, but I do not believe from America's vote. (I was very saddened when I went on iTunes that he had already previously recorded the song! I want original songs from him, not mastered songs!)

Wow! So much talent, and I really want Lindsey, Jesse, Charlotte, and Jordis to move on! Tune in to NBC at 9/8 central for live show results! Gym Class Heroes on tonight as well in the show!

The Voice Season 2 Recaps with DJ Kwokodile [#8]

Very bad bad round, I must admit >.<

1. [You Know I'm No Good] - Pip vs. Nathan Parrett
I thought it was quite sad that BFF's were paired together, but they sounded really good together! I would have to say that Pip was a shoo in. Adam picked Pip.

2. [What's Love Got to Do With It] - Erin Martin vs. The Shields Brothers!
Wow! Worse battle so far! They sounded bad, Erin's uniqueness didn't shine in this song. The brothers were better, but were still off key. Terrible! Cee Lo picked Erin.

3. [No Air] - Ashley De La Rosa vs. Jonathas
Christina must take so much time to figure out the battle pairings and songs, since they all turn out so well, with No Air with Ashley and Jonathas, and Heart-Shaped Box with Lindsey and Lee. They were really good, but Jonathas kept to his voice, and didn't sound good. Christina picked Ashley.

4. [Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car] - Jermaine Paul vs. ALyX
They were pretty good. It was a little boring, but the vocals were there. Jermaine is very very strong, Blake picked Jermaine.

5. [Bleeding Love] - Katrina Parker vs. Angel Taylor
So sad, Angel didn't perform well because of the song. Katrina shined really bright in this song, and Adam picked her.

6. [We Belong] - Erin Willett vs. Gwen Sebastian
They were both really good, I would have gone with Gwen, but it was Blake's ultimate choice. Blake picked Erin. I actually heard that Gwen is now backgrounding for Blake in his tour, so it was a win for her, even though she lost.



Last battles next Monday!
Pairings are as following:
The LiNE vs. Moses Stone
Naia Kete vs. Jordan Rager
Justin Hopkins vs. Tony Vincent
Karla Davis vs. Orlando Napier
James Massone vs. WADE
Nicolle Galyon vs. Mathai! <-- best for last!

THE VOICE Season 2 Recaps with DJ Kwokodile [#4]

YAY! This episode was full of great voices! Love the last person!

1. [U Got It Bad] - Jonathas
Wow... he sounds like Usher. He was really good. I'm glad he picked Christina over Cee Lo.

2. [Mr. Know It All] - Monique Benabou
She was pretty good and I think that Christina was smart in picking her.

3. [The Lazy Song] - Naia Kete
She was really good! She reminded me of Dia, so that's why I am so glad that she picked Blake!

4. [Apologize] - Charlotte Sometimes
I think she had the most unique voice this season. I think that Blake has the gift of nurturing uniqueness, so I am glad she picked him. ALL 4!

5. [We Are The Champions] - Tony Vincent
He sounded pretty good. I was kinda surprised that only Cee Lo turned. He had so much experience, so I was quite shocked at that.

6. [What's Going On] - Anthony Evans
Ha! I know his dad! Not well, but I know he's an evangelical speaker! It was so weird to see him on television. He was pretty good and Christina was smart to pick him.

7. [Folsom Prison Blues] - Jamie Lono
I think he was so good! I didn't realize this at first but after listening this a second time I realized it was Johnny Cash! iTunes loves him too. I think he should have picked Adam, but Cee Lo was a good choice too.

8. [Babylon] - Justin Hopkins
I think he was pretty good, but I'm glad Cee Lo turned around for him :)

9. [You Save Me] - Nicolle Galyon
I totally think that piano is country as well as guitar! She was decent, and I think Adam was smart to pick her.

10. [Shark In The Water] - Ashely De La Rosa
Team Xtina :)

11. [Chicken Fried] - Jordan Rager
Team Blake :)

12. [Just Like A Pill] - ALyX
Team Blake :)

13. [If I Die Young] - Karla Davis
Team Adam :)

14. [Rumour Has It] - Mathai
I spelled Rumour instead of Rumor, cause that's how ADELE spells it. She was the best of the night! I'm glad she picked Adam! I think Adam would be able to nurture her the best.







ENJOY THIS WEEK'S EPISODE! :D
