I agree. I do not care for Katrina's singing, but she will advance over Tony.

WTF. Chris Mann?!?!?! lol

movieking · 05-02-12, 07:06 AM

The public voted for Katrina 52/48, but since Adam gave Tony a 60/40 split, he advanced. Too bad, but ultimately I don't think that either one would have won.

I think that at this point of the competition, you need to do a fairly well known song (ie not Bon Iver), and just sing the hell out of it. From who is left, I think that Chris & Juliet are the two with the best chance at delivering one of those powerhouse performances based on their voices but I'm thinking at this point that it is probably Juliet's to lose.

I'm still guessing Chris Mann.

Who did Lucca's version originally? Not the Britney original, but the version that he copied. I remember hearing it a lot but can't remember who did it.

Marty did a version on Rock Star: INXS. I'm sure it's been covered more that that though...

That's because they loaded her up with make up. She definitely looks prettier now but I liked her old look. The grungy look she had going seemed to fit her personality more.

zuffy · 05-03-12, 11:20 PM

How come Blake did not get a chance to comment on Juliet's performance?

Christina can''t praise Juliet only without padding her own shoulder with her performance of the same song in the Grammy. Of course, I went Youtube to look it up. Juliet blew Christina's performance outa the ballpark.

This competition is Juliet's to lose.

Superman07 · 05-04-12, 05:49 AM

I don't think I'd buy a Juliette album, but she does sound a level above Tony and Jermaine. That said, I still think I like Chris' sound the most.

Damn - forgot how good Havier sounds. Glad they brought him back.

Is next week finale and are they doing original performances again?

arminius · 05-04-12, 08:31 AM

I hope Tony wins just to see xtina explode.

In addition to this driving me crazy, I hate that Adam & Christina (especially Christina) has to stop their comments to tell fans that yell out to them that they love them as well. To me, it's pretty rude to the people who they are critiquing.

She must have turned him down at some point, as she's clearly carrying around some major resentment! Either that, or she really hates Justin Timberlake.

Christina's obvious disdain for Tony is distracting. She's my least favorite judge and IMO, the weak link on the judging panel. She's just too full of herself to fairly critique others, especially those not on her team. She always has to sing portions of their song or strut out on to the stage to overshadow the contestant. The hair accessories and extreme cleavage only magnify that "Look at me!" vibe.

I never thought I'd like Cee Lo, Blake or Adam, as I mostly don't care for their music. However, I find myself enjoying their personalities and actually wanting to enjoy their music as an extension of that. Prior to The Voice, I could take Christina or leave her. Now, I can't stand her and can't imagine ever buying a song of hers. Funny how that worked out!

DVDChris · 05-07-12, 12:52 PM

I finally realized why Jamar Rogers looked so familiar to me. He was Danny Gokey's friend on American Idol who should've made it to the live shows, but the judges cut him.

Goat3001 · 05-07-12, 08:55 PM

Christina is such a cunt. Her bitch comments are probably getting Tony more votes than taking away from him. I don't think he's the even in Juliet's league but I want to see him win just to stick it to Christina.

magiccmom · 05-07-12, 09:07 PM

Cant quote above, because I HATE that word, but I agree with the sentiment. I never wanted to bitch slap anyone more than I want to bitch slap Christina. Her attitude towards Adam and especially Tony has been downright RUDE. SHe couldnt even celebrate and give him kudos for being in the final. AND did she call his son his daughter??? And then when he was paying his respects to the coaches she was picking at her nails or texting. Someone needs to call her out. Love that Adam did but he kept it classy. She's horrible.

Superman07 · 05-08-12, 06:02 AM

Yeah, she was so offset night. I felt she was better early on, but now she's worse than S1. Plus she always has to bring it back to her. Why did I sound bad - oh I'm sick.

Also, whoever dressed her for duet should be fired. Worst thing she could possibly wear. Breasts looked so bad almost falling out, and then the straps too tight on the back.

Based on last night, I'd say Chris Mann should win. However, I think Jermain might have been helped by his duet. Unfortunately, Juliette may have peaked last week.

TallGuyMe · 05-08-12, 07:44 AM

age (and Twinkies) is a bitch.

nightwing82 · 05-08-12, 09:54 AM

Christina Aguilera is such a hypocrite. I'm hoping Tony Lucca takes it all.

If iTunes is any indication, in their top 100 right now:

#3 Lucca's 99 Problems
#7 Lucca and Levine's Yesterday
#10 Juliet's Free Bird
#11 Mann and Aguilera's Prayer
#12 Mann's You Raise Me Up
#13 Jermaine's I Believe I Can Fly

Superman07 · 05-08-12, 10:13 AM

I figure this is like Idol - you may be better off in he long run not winning.

Renee · 05-08-12, 12:06 PM

I was a Tony Lucca fan before this show, so I've been rooting for him but not really expecting him to win. However, the Itunes charts make it seem like he has a really good shot at this! I know that many of the votes are being cast against Christina rather than for Tony. So, I find it comical that her obvious disdain for him keeps putting him in the spotlight, and ultimately closer to winning the whole thing.

Chris Mann seemed uncomfortable with Christina's behavior. I definitely noticed him glance Adam's way when Christina made her "real man" comments. I feel bad for the guy, as he's the one being penalized for Christina's outbursts. I hope she isn't invited back next year.

LurkerDan · 05-08-12, 01:03 PM

On a different note, I thought Freebird was an awful choice of a song. I'm a Skynyrd fan, but that song is really kinda boring, and gave her no place to go.

what started her on this? Admittedly, I didn't see much of this show the past couple weeks, but did something happen?

Maybe something behind the scenes because when she first saw Tony she seemed genuinely excited for him to be there. Or maybe she's just pissed that all her more successful Mickey Mouse Club friends are on his side.

I actually think Lucca wins. His performance yesterday was the most "download-worthy". I think Jermaine and Chris Mann both have better voices but we all know it's not always about that. I can see Juliet pulling it out too.

Patman · 05-08-12, 04:50 PM

I always got a douchey vibe from Chris Mann.

I like how Juliet swings for the fences when she sings, but she's more a live-performance type of talent, not quite a recording artist.

Lucca bores me.

Jermaine reminds me of that black gay copy on "The Shield".

The first time she got really pissy to him was on a performance night after Justin timberlake had tweeted to his followers that they should support Tony...maybe she thought it was an unfair advantage, but hey, the guy is friends with timberlake so why not use it?

Oh wow.. now I remember him... can't believe I hadn't noticed this before. He got quite a bit of air time in those first weeks.

leeta · 05-08-12, 08:37 PM

It seemed like Flo Rida was kinda ignoring Juliet after and even during their performance.
