I watched some of the first season of The Voice. And it was interesting while each judge/professional trainer/whatever were selecting their team. After that... I wasn't really interested in watching anymore. However, this season should at least have a little bit of extra time dedicated to selecting team members because the numbers per team have increased. Again, I don't know if I'll be able to keep it up.
For those who don't really know anything about The Voice, it is a singing competition. There are four "judges": Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Cee-Lo Green. When the performer first comes out to sing [and maybe play], the judges are facing the other way. In front of each judge is a button that s/he can press if s/he decides that s/he wants that performer on their team. The button turns the chair around so the judge can see the performer. If one judge turns around, that judge gets that performer. If more than one judge turns around, the power is in the performer's hands. That performer gets to choose who s/he works with.
Another aspect with this show is that you miss out on all the bad performers. I believe these people have already been through at least 2-3 auditions before even making it on the show to perform the judges.
All my thoughts on these people are based solely on their performance. I'm not really interested in their back stories. Throughout the show, they will show some random people in between where it will be a quick "We didn't chose these people." I won't be writing about those people, only performers who are shown in full.
1. RaeLynn - I wasn't particularly impressed. I don't know if this is because she was singing country [which is a genre I am very selective about] or what. There just wasn't enough power behind her voice for the song. She managed to turn around Adam and Blake [who she chose].
2. Jesse Campbell - I had mad goosebumps when this guy was singing. He also managed to get all the judges turn around. He chose to work with Christina.
3. Daniel Rosa - He is playing a ukele in the previews which is ... awesome. But he is not impressing me with his voice. He picked Neon Tree's "Animal" which was part of the problem. It wasn't a particularly interesting rendition and like all the judges said, pitch was definitely off. He was not selected.
4. Juliet Simms - She definitely has a raw voice that is very much in right now. She could use some refining to the raw voice [and yes, that is possible] but I think she has a lot to work with. She managed to turn around Adam, Cee-Lo, and Christina. It's hilarious how much tension there is between Christina and Adam right now. She chose to work with Cee-Lo [which could have been because she was turned off by the fighting between
5. Chris Mann - I love him. End of discussion. His voice is strong and unwavering. And he chose something so unconventional for a show like this [aka not in English]. He managed to make Cee-Lo and Christina turn around. I think that Blake and Adam were certainly intimidated with how powerful his voice was. Either way, he seemed to know what he was doing with his voice. He chose to work with Christina.
6. Tony Lucca - His performance was good. Singing and playing guitar certainly helps... But I honestly was not amazed. And while I said that I would not talk about the back story, I think it is hilarious that Christina did not recognize him until after he left the stage [they supposedly worked together on the Mickey Mouse Club]. Afterwards, she went and met up with him and his family back stage. He managed to turn around everyone [though Adam "helped" Cee-Lo press his button]. He chose to with with Adam.
For the most part, I think this night was pretty good in relation to musicians. Tonight is a 2 hour showing but there are other shows that I'll probably watch instead. I'm pretty sure this show is OnDemand.
