I'm watching the blind auditions on hulu for the first time. Am I just hormonal or do they make you tear up too? Lol! The ex-airforce guy with the long hair? The young guy who didn't make it last year because he sang Katy Perry and it was "weird"? So cute
Also, do you think that Christina knows her hands are so fake tan that they look like they belong on a different body? It's driving me crazy.

Ha. I totally watch the voice, you're not the only one!
Although, I almost never cry. Tbh, I end up fast forwarding though all the sob stories. I feel like they make everyone have some sad story, and some are so fabricated.. "Oh, this one time, my second cousins husband had breast cancer, and music really got me through it." Gag.

I love the Voice. I loved last season with Shakira and Usher. But so far Xtina has been surprisingly nice. I do side-eye her for her orange hands, though. But the voice talent is amazing again this year.
I'm glad I'm not alone in watching it! This is the first season I've tuned in. It is soooooo much better than the x-factor, which I've given up on after a few episodes.
The sob stories are super cheesy, but I'm a sucker for that stuff (I eat it up during the Olympics too) And I do like the judges, even douchy Adam Levine, lol.
I've been watching it too. I am glad Xtina and Ceelo are back- I think they are way more entertaining than Shakira and Usher were. And I love Blake and Adam's dynamic.
I am really liking the females in this season- there are few a few that I think have star quality.

When Matthew Schuler picked that song, I was so worried! But he made it his own and did a fantastic job! But I'm so glad that his opponent was saved too because they both were exceptional.

Totally agree - I liked his opponent a lot too. Whichever judge said that Matthew is the Mike Tyson of singing was right on, lol. He has a really nice combination of aggressiveness and smoothness.
I also really like the bearded guy who sang "I'll Be" and that quirky girl Caroline. So much talent on this show!

Are you talking about Will Champlin? That's the guy with the beard, right? His dad used to sing in the band Chicago, so he has the singing talent in his genes.
Will Champlin is the guy who competed against Matthew Schuler last week. The bearded guy I'm thinking of is Austin Jenckes. I think he's the scooter tour guy from Washington state (if I remember correctly from the auditions).
ETA: Thanks for the reminder about who Will's dad is. I had forgotten that part!
Just watched the first live show. Tessanne freaking nailed it!!
I wish they would stop putting the performers on that little stage surrounded by the audience. It's distracting to see the vacant stares and off-rhythm clapping/arm waving of some of those people.
Ok, my boy Matthew is gone but Tessane is still rocking it! I was so happy last week when Blake gave Christina a smackdown about focusing too much Tessane's accent and not enough on her talent, lol.
Will is growing on me too; I wouldn't be sad to see him win.

I'm so sad that Cole is gone; I was thinking that he would for sure be in the finale and he was my favorite. I liked James as well, but I'm not as surprised that he went home.
My official prediction is that Jacquie will win - the teeny bopper types seem to do well. Tessanne is fantastic but I don't know if she'll have enough of a voting base. I'm torn on Will, he's had some fantastic performances but the others have been lackluster at best.
I agree about James. I liked him but he wasn't really captivating on stage. I think I like Will because he clearly wants it so badly - you have to respect that kind of drive. Tessane has been my pick from the start, though, and if Jacquie beats her I'll be really disappointed. Jacquie is good but needs a few more years to mature so that her performances are more genuine. She chose a pretty serious genre as an artist, and I just don't think she has the gravitas to back it up.

I agree - when I hear her sing with my eyes closed she is phenomenal, but when I watch and see that sound coming out of her mouth it almost just doesn't match up. She's really talented, but she just looks and acts so young.
After watching last night's episode, I think Jacquie might have it. Tessanne deserves to win, in my opinion, but Jacquie really pulled out all the stops and I think she probably earned a lot of votes. Will has good moments but needs more control of his voice/pitch, which is a bummer because I really like him and his work ethic.

I haven't seen last night's episode yet (we went to a movie) but of course FB can't keep it a secret. I'm so happy that Tessanne won! She deserved it! Her Whitney song was amazing! I'm a little sad that Will didn't come in second. I felt Adam didn't choose the right song for him to end the show with and also kind of put him down to favor Tessanne. And when I looked on iTunes yesterday Will's songs were above Jacquie's. I don't care for Jacquie that much. Yea she is 16 and she has great pipes but she still needs to learn a lot. I love that song from Dreamgirls but when she starts belting those higher powerful notes, she just oversings it. I hope we'll hear a lot more from Tessanne and Will in the future!
I loved Tessanne and I'm so glad she won! The person I root for never wins, so I really thought Jackie would be it! I'm so glad Tessanne won, she really deserved it!
I just want to hear her winning song, but I can't seem to find it. Is there anywhere I can hear the recorded version? The show version was hard to hear over all the cheering.
