NBC's "The Voice" (Season 10)

[jvince]

Anybody watching this? It seems like a decent singing competition.

I tried, but Christina Aguilara was such an obnoxious b*tch interrupting Adam every time he spoke that I couldn't enjoy it. Not to mention how they should hide all the performers for the audience to, not just one in every 5 performers. I gave it one episode but I won't be watching anymore.

[Tyger]

It's OK, I'll watch until I just can't take Xtina anymore. Surprised how likeable all the guys were.

[Mouse]

I caught the rerun last night after AI finished and since Criminal Minds was a rerun I had nothing else to watch after Breaking In.

Ceelo or however you spell his name is a funny looking dude. Saw him on SNL a few weeks back and he does seem to be a likeable type of guy.

Don't know the other two guys but Christina Aguilara is still hot so that makes up for everything. I'd like to push her button. Also, I didn't find her to be obnoxious or anything. That Adam guy was really fighting for the singers he wanted so it sounded like Christina needed to snap back at him before he took all the good ones. Was fun to watch them fight over the contestants.

Still not sure I'm going to finish watching the rest of the season but I'll give it a few more viewings as long as it doesn't conflict with my other shows.

Christina is a butterface...and personality

Did you see her face when that girl said "I grew up listening to you"?? hahaha

[thelittleprince]

I may check this out. Missed it this week.

[TLeeTx2012]

The young girl, Xenia, was awesome. So was the girl that sang "Come as you are"...such a heartstring pulling version she did.

[Samus Aran]

The singers that got picked have studio-recorded versions of the songs they sang for purchase... so of course they're already on YouTube if you want to listen to them.

When did Karl Urban become a country singer?

To be fair, Christina was still growing up too when her career began. She hasn't aged as well as Jessica or Britney though.

Oh, I know, but Christina had a tight lipped smile that seemed to say "I will kill you in your sleep!", it was hilarious

[hardtosayx]

I'm really surprised by how many people say Christina Aguilera is untalented and unattractive... when she's not

Never, I don't care how many songs he and Toby Chesney get on the radio, those hacks ain't real country!

That broad is untalented and devoid of personality and looks. She reminds me of Snookie a haggard little beast you can't even stand to look at, cause it should be eating sheep under a bridge somewhere.

Damn fine coffee!

[seeweda]

You have to have good body to be a butterface. I don't think Christina qualifies as such anymore.

The blind auditions are starting to drag on. It was pretty apparent when they just showed highlights of three singers getting picked in a span of like 30 seconds. Since the next round promptly eliminates half of these contestants, they needed to up the number of singers to make the second round last longer, but there's probably a better way to go about it. I guess these blind auditions are more about the personal stories of the singers since they've been giving a lot of time to singers who don't even get picked.

It's also possible that they'll run through all the contestants without filling up all the teams and these rejected singers will get picked up when they get a second chance. Last season Jared got rejected and then Blake picked him up the second time around. Casey also got rejected and picked back up but I don't think they even showed her first audition.

[Samus Aran]

No one here's watching this show anymore? I wanted to drive my Kia to Starbucks so I can play with my Sprint Tablet with their wifi.

[Mouse]

I had to stop fighting to watch The Voice since there are 7 other shows I watch on Monday nights. Also there are too many singers with the same style singing... not being a fan of R&B or Pop music (in general - there are exeptions) and not enough Rock singers in any show this year, I find myself not caring about who wins.

[Samus Aran]

Blake let Dia and Jermaine do whatever they wanted and they were his home run hitters.

You have to take into account Adam's willingness to torpedo his fellow singers if he thinks it helps the one he believes is his shining star. He was the only coach whose points actually prevented someone from winning the popular vote last season. And in season one there are some who believe he picked Casey to be easier fodder for Javier.

Do we know anything about the steal option? I was under the impression that it's not an actual steal -- it's just a coach being able to pick up someone else's battle round rejection.

Also, I wonder why true amateurs would even bother going to The Voice first. The last two seasons, the finalists were all professionals with a lot of experience, and The Voice even takes people who didn't get far on other shows.

This is, IMO, the best singing show out there. Love it.

Yeah but it is more that Blake doesn't know what to do with non-country singers more than him being open IMO. And he made some brutal calls on songs last season. Adam does control his singers a bit more but that is because he can bring more to the table in helping them develop. Christina is the only coach that I find totally worthless though. Controlling, head up her ass and too much of an ego to care about her singers once the season is done. Also have to keep in mind they only have so many pre-approved songs they got permission to use so letting the contestants always pick the song would cause problems.

The wording was that a coach can poach a singer if they feel a coach isn't handling them right or something like that. Which wouldn't indicate that they need to be eliminated first.

I agree but there are some things I wish they would change. I love the auditions and the coach banter. Christina needs replaced though. But I hate the battle rounds since far too often two duds get into a battle together while two great talents end up in another. Would also like the coaches to have no say in who goes home. Should always be who had the least fan votes IMO. Would also like to see iTunes downloads count for a larger percent of the vote. But my biggest problem is that it needs to be once a year. Feels like the last season just ended just like it felt like the first season had just ended last season. Doesn't give the contestants time to properly get an album out and benefit from their exposure. Hell Simms was tweeting just the other day that she was picking up her Kia as this was starting let alone having time to get an album out

[Samus Aran]

Okay, the recap episode said the "steal" is being able to pick up someone who was cut from another team, so it's not even a steal. It's more like claiming off waivers.
