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!

EK10 with DJ Kwokodile 2/27/12

YAY FOR EK10 MAKING IT ON TIME! BC of Snowboardin!

1. [Back Home] - Tyler Ward & Alex G
YAYA! CLEAN VERSION OF THE SONG! TYLER WARD IS SO AWESOME! I really like Alex G's vocals and I hope you like them too! P.S First song I actually bought. :)


2. [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! This is the best rendition of OneRepublic's song I've ever heard!




3. [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. She was so good and I hope her voice gets even better than it already is!


4. [Butt Back Home] - Gym Class Heroes
Well I can say the rap is kinda bad... it's not that great. All I love is the catchy chorus... Not all that great of a reason to like this song... That's all I have to say is that, and oh btw... I listen to the clean version :) and now Tyler Ward's version


5. [Country Girl (Shake It For Me)] - Luke Bryan
Wow, long song name... Oh well, It makes up for it in the song :) It's a pretty great song. Great country, makes me happy, all I care about :P Luke Bryan has to be one of my favorite country artists! Him and Blake Shelton are my favorite!




6. [Somebody That I Used To Know] - Gotye
Totally lost faith in this song! I was so wrong! I still love it and it's great! Still love it for the same reasons... This is now such a nice song with great meanings!


7.  [Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)] - Kelly Clarkson
This is an amazing song! I love the lyrics, and even though it's by Kelly from IDOL, I still like it :) "Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!"

8. [We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monae)] - Fun.
I love this song! It's so catchy and it so awesome! I really love Fun.! Just recently heard it and I need to listen to it more!


9. [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. I think he did it better than Drake :)


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! Her voice is really really really like Dia's! I hope she does well!








I think that I cheated a bit by copying and pasting, but I did edit some ;)

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!

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 :)
