The Voice Review

Tonight NBC's The Voice came on.

It was really cool, it was positive, I liked it all around.  The judges weren't making fun of the artists, and it was really cool seeing these "famous" (I tend to not use that word about people very often, they're just people) people, fighting for these unknown  artists.  

My favorite songs of the night? (Not in order, just from memory- I'm writing this as it airs)

-Rolling In the Deep (Vicci Martinez)

-Breakeven (Xenia) (dang that 16 year old could sing!)

-Just The Way You Are (Tje Austin)

-Live Like Your Dying (Patrick Thomas) (I think he lacked range but made up for it with amazing control)

-American Boy  (Kelsey Rey) (possibly my favorite of the night)

-Time After Time (Javier Colon)- This was an amazing mix of acoustic and soul on a song known for its production and 80's feel.  This might also be my favorite. The judges were right- it was perfect, and tasteful.  He could have gone crazy vocal-runs on it, but he showed what he had while keeping us wanting more.

I really liked the duo, Ellenowen singing "Falling Slowly", until the dude tried singing harmony.  I'm sure they are great singers, it was probably just nerves.

I am happy to see Adam Levine's team get stacked as the night went on.  Javier is gonna be a staple in his team!  I'm a big Maroon 5 fan, and even though I wasn't a big fan of their latest album at first, it really really really grew on me!

But Blake has Xenia, which is going to be a hard person to beat!

What were your thoughts on the show? Do you think it will have a season 2?  I think it will be a hit.  People enjoy Idol for the humor, but I know tons of people who like it for the talent, and the show is starting to have a hard time appealing to both I feel like.   And when they do- its America who chooses, not seasoned professionals.  

So- your thoughts?
