The Voice Season 2 Episode Recaps! Semifinals with DJ Kwokodile

Amazing mind blowing performances tonight!

Tony Lucca - How You Like Me Now [5/10] I don't understand how people like him... I don't and this song was not good at all.

Erin Willett - Without You [5/10] I really thought it was pitchy and flat... not good

Chris Mann - Ave Maria [7/10] I still don't think he is a good opera singer... but maybe only girls can do those long notes... if so, I must say I am a fan... but right now without the information, no, not that good

Jamar Rogers - If You Don't Know Me By Now [4/10] Never saw the talent in this guy, just the song Seven Nation Army.

Jermaine Paul - Open Arms [5/10] Definitely his worse song this whole journey, I actually don't like him all too much, but he is better than Erin.

Katrina Parker - Killing Me Softly With His Song [8/10] It was good, but I liked Jar of Hearts better, I like her to sing more current songs, but she did really well.

Lindsey Pavao - Skinny Love [10/10] This is the Lindsey I fell in love with from the auditions, and she did fantastic, she actually brought her powerful power! ♥ ♥ ♥!!!

Juliet Simms - It's A Man's Man's, Man's World [10/10]
Definitely never fails to amaze! So talented, but I think if Lindsey doesn't win, Juliet should take it!

Team Xtina
Chris Mann [Xtina 50 + America 54 = 104]
Lindsey Pavao [Xtina 50 + America 46 = 96]


Team Adam
Tony Lucca [Adam 60 + America 48 = 108]
Katrina Parker [Adam 40 + America 52 = 92]

Team Blake
Jermaine Paul [Blake 50 + America 73 = 123]
Erin Willett [Blake 50 + America 27 = 77]

Team Cee Lo
Juliet Simms [Cee Lo 60 + America 61 = 121]
Jamar Rogers [Cee Lo 40 + 39 = 79]

Reactions: I really hate how Lindsey didn't advance, if The Voice's prize is a record deal with no cash involved, why would America vote for an opera singer??? Seriously! Who is willing to listen to opera on their iPod? Really! Katrina murdered her song so well! Tony not so much, and if Adam split evenly, Katrina would have moved on. I liked the other decisions.

Predictions for next week: Final 2 will be Juliet and Jermaine... maybe Chris

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 [#3]

WOW! Finally got the music :) but unfortunately the album covers are less than satisfactory... only 170 x 170 :( But that doesn't matter right now! I'm blogging for the first time in forever! So the next one will come out ASAP!

1. [You and I] - Sarah Golden
This was a fair song. The choice wasn't the best. I was a bit confused why they blurred her out during the interview, but now I know. I'm rather surprised she picked CeeLo! I think Blake could have helped her more, now she will most likely be cut during the Battle Rounds.

2. [The House of the Rising Sun] - Pip
I think this is the best guy in the competition by far! He is so awesome! The way he dresses is so awesome, and he sounds so much older than he is! Really great! So great that all 4 turned! Adam was the ultimate victor however.

3. [I Want You Back] - Erin Willett
I was so glad she got picked, after her story. She was good, but she wasn't that good. I'm glad Blake picked her!

4. [One of Us] - Katrina Parker
For some reason, I didn't really like her, but I am quite glad that Adam picked her!

5. [Higher Ground] - Geoff McBride
Wow! He was really good! He had a lot of soul! I think Cee Lo made a mistake by pushing his button too late. Christina will be able to do pretty cool things with him!

6. [Hey There Delilah] - Erin Martin
This voice blew me. It was in a good and bad way. Her voice was good, but you either love her or hate her. I think she should have gone with Blake! Blake has the art of helping the unique voices, but it was still good she went with Cee Lo!

7. [Find Your Love] - James Massone
He was really good! I love this Drake rendition! He was really good! He is really strong and Cee Lo will do well with him.

8. [Grenade] - Chris Cauley
He played it pretty safe according to me. He didn't have any really variety in range. He was good and I'm glad he picked Adam!

9. [The Joker] - Nathan Parrett
Team Adam :)

10. [Paris (Ooh La La)] - Brian Fuente
Team Blake :)

11. [Let's Get It Started] - Moses Stone
Team Xtina :)

12. [Maybe I'm Amazed] - Jordis Unga
 She was really good! She had lots and lots of power and range! I'm so glad she picked Blake!





I HOPE YOU ENJOY! SORRY FOR THE WAIT!

P.S I will not comment on the songs that weren't played for a regular audition.
