EK5 with DJ Kwokodile 5/22/12

OK, now that The Voice is over, that must mean no songs from the show right??? I beg to differ, this probably will be the last playlist filled with The Voice songs. Also included in this playlist are selections of rap, rock, and r&b.

1. [Somewhere Only We Know] - Pip
I watched the performance live, and I have no idea why I didn't like it, maybe he was pitchy, well he was very pitchy at the end... Well I came across this song and started listening to it and instantly fell in love with! This is has been my renewal for my hope in Pip. He has a kickstarter account and he needs a lot of money! Help support him here! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/713719482/help-pip-make-his-debut-album!

2. [Walking On the Moon] - Karmin
I have loved Karmin since their youtube days and was excited to see that they got a legit album out with legit singles that are charting! So this song is not charting, but it is still really good. I think this is one of their best songs.

3. [Whistle/Wild Ones (feat. Juliet Simms)] - Flo Rida
I never thought I would listen to this song, but since Juliet is singing in it, I feel like I have an excuse to listen to it, it is really good, I feel like Flo Rida is the clearest and the least auto-tuned, since he doesn't sound airy or breathy when he raps which shows that he is good, unlike others <cough> Kid Cudi <cough>

4. [Yesterday] - Adam Levine & Tony Lucca
This was one of my most favorite duets of the night, this one and Christina's and Chris's were pretty tight, but because I know the words and it is catchy. I don't know Latin, so, that's why I enjoy this one more. I just love Adam Levine's voice, I wouldn't have minded if Tony wasn't included in the record.

5. [I Want You Back (feat. Jamar Rogers, James Massone, & Pip)] - Jermaine Paul
This was the best final performance, all guys sang so great, it especially showed that Pip was not diminishing in his quality of voice, he is still sounding great and all the guys just sounded really great together!

Hope you enjoyed the playlist!

The Voice Season 2 Episode Recaps with DJ Kwokodile [Quarterfinals 2]

I might be repeating a little, but I think that Adam was the strongest to begin with and that Cee Lo was the weakest, boy was I wrong! Cee Lo is definitely the favorite to win with either Juliet or Jamar. The weakest is either Xtina or Blake.

Quick Summary:
Jamar Rogers: It's My Life [8/10] It was good, but not exceptional
Katrina Parker: Jar of Hearts [9.5/10] Definitely her A+ game
Mathai: I'm Like a Bird [6/10] She did amazing with the song she had, but the song choice was...
James Massone: Just The Way You Are [5/10] Didn't really like it.
Tony Lucca: ...Baby One More Time [9/10] Nice to see a better side to Tony, still don't like him.
Cheesa: I Have Nothing [9/10] Cheesa's best performance.
Pip: Somewhere Only We Know [6/10] Really pitchy, didn't like it.
Juliet Simms: Cryin' [9/10] Amazing stage, amazing voice, great song, not amazing.

Instant Eliminations:
They were the right choices, even though Pip was one of my favorites on the show, I did feel like he did the worst of all of the 4. James knew his time had come, and all of the rest did well but him.

America's Saved: Tony Lucca & Jamar Rogers

Mathai: Cowboy Casanova [9/10] I really liked this performance, even though she was nervous, it didn't show
Katrina Parker: Perfect [9/10] Really good, Katrina is good, she better beat Tony!
Cheesa: Already Gone [6/10] Really pitchy, didn't like it.
Juliet Simms: Torn [9.5/10] So good, good amount of rasp! Love it!

Eliminated Mathai & Cheesa.
I was really upset that Mathai was eliminated but Katrina is really good. I really wanted Cheesa gone, I wanted Angie in from the beginning, but Cheesa won, so I didn't like her very much.
