I did last week, but it's easier for me to watch it on Hulu than Masterchef, so I'm watching that.

[Ebon]

Woooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooo

[Ebon]

We both called that one. Frenchie and Beverly going through.

[Gemme]

I'm calling this:

Team Christina: Beverly and Frenchie
Team Blake: Dia and Jared

Team Christina, check.

Team Blake to go.

[scootebaby]

well cant say that im surprised,but i was still hoping Rachel woulda made it with Frenchie

i still like patrick on team Blake...torn between Dia and Jared as the other one

(after hearing Dia sing again i realized it was pretty damn good)

[The_Lady_Snow]

We're painting so we will have to Hulu it tomorrow!!

[Gemme]

The Thompson sisters didn't suck as much as I thought they would, surprisingly. I liked Casey Weston too. Vicci Martinez doing that song? I'm not sure about that. I'm not loving it.

[scootebaby]

oh i loved Vicci doing that song...she has a great voice!

[scootebaby]

OMG!!!!! :rofl: this is fuckin awesome! i got a new opinion of Cee Lo

[JustJo]

OMG!!!!! :rofl: this is fuckin awesome! i got a new opinion of Cee Lo

I told you Cee Lo is awesome. :)

[Ebon]

OMG I can't stand that Twitter lady. She's so negative. She brings that element to the show that I don't like about the others.

[JustJo]

OMG I can't stand that Twitter lady. She's so negative. She brings that element to the show that I don't like about the others.

Yes, and she's so pointless. I'd much rather see less of her and more of the singers.

[Ebon]

Nope Jesus will not take the wheel.

[JustJo]

Nope Jesus will not take the wheel.

Unfortunately I love him....but that wasn't the greatest song.

[scootebaby]

Nope Jesus will not take the wheel.


i think i wet myself! :lol2:

[Ebon]

That choir was very very awesome!! Now the Jesus wheel guy sounded better on that song.

[Ebon]

He sounds off key to me. I wonder what Robert Palmer thinks about this. :|

[Diva]

I love Christina's "new duo"! LOVE.

Talk about out of tune...You just do NOT sing an Andrew's Sisters tune with TWO GIRLS. WHAT? Bad call there. And OUT. OF. TUNE. Blech.

Love Nakia.............Austin boy. :eyebat:
Love Frenchie.........big girl :eyebat:
Love Beverly...........hot :eyebat:
Love Javier............wow. :eyebat:

[Ebon]

OMG Javier was amazing. That is one of my favorite songs. I think Christina is drunk. :|

[scootebaby]

Everytime i see her tonight i think of Paris Hilton!! and she is definitely on something! i missed most of javier bc our damn cable box is acting out so i stayed to fix it and Jo ran to the bedroom---see how she is! *hmmph*

[moxie]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!


Oh good grief.

(This is in regards to the end, not anything anyone has said)

[Ebon]

YAY!!!!! My Dia made it!!!! I don't care about that other girl. I think that dude with the 12 kids was better than her but yay Dia made it!!!!!!

[scootebaby]

WOW!!!! i dont think anyone saw that coming...what a surprise huh:?!

[Ebon]

WOW!!!! i dont think anyone saw that coming...what a surprise huh:?!

Yeah that was weird.

[scootebaby]

ok i gotta go get Jo situated in bed. I bought her a 1.25 liter bottle thinking she could get as little or as much as she wants per glass...well oinight she asked for the bottle THEN snuck it into the bedroom with her :blink:it was coke zero-she FORCED me to say that
i just dont know whats got into her lately!

[Diva]

What???????????????????????
What was he (and America) THINKING?!?!?!?!
What a disappointment.

[Gemme]

YAY!!!!! My Dia made it!!!! I don't care about that other girl. I think that dude with the 12 kids was better than her but yay Dia made it!!!!!!

6 kids, baby. Jared has 6 kids and I'm disappointed with Blake's choice too, as well as the reasoning behind it. It has more to do with the friendship between the girls (and, imo, him not wanting to disappoint a teenage girl) than talent.

Thankfully, Dia made it.

I was crafting toward the end, so I kind of glossed over everything but Javier. He's amazing. Nakia too. The rest, not so much.

[Ebon]

Well I'm happy with the choices and Frenchie just tore it up with that Madonna song. Nakia (our favorite) is next.

[Ebon]

OMG Nakia just kicked some f*cking ass on that one!!! GO AUSTIN!! GO AUSTIN!!!!

[Ebon]

Well Beverly just took it again. She's just bad ass. Gemme says she looks like a pirate. lol I know that no one is here so I will post to myself.

[Gemme]

Is it the end of Ebon's hour of commentation already?

:blink:

:giggle:

Thus far, we've loved Frenchie, Beverly, Nakia, and Javier. Xenia and Dia not so much. I didn't like the way Vicci started, but I'm digging the sticks.

[Gemme]

I forgot Casey! She did really good too.

[moxie]

I wish it was just the top 4 and not the top person from each team.

[Gemme]

I would choose Nakia, Javier, Beverly and probably Frenchie if that were the case. Frenchie's not my cuppa but I recognize her talent.

[Diva]

Those are my 3 top faves, too, Gemmie. I just called twice for each.

Weeee!!!

[purepisces]

I LOVE Dia! If I had to guess today, I think she'll take the whole thing.

[luv2luvgirls]

I like all the ones left..my fave is Vickie or Bev

[Diva]

I was ok with all but Nakia.....he's an Austin boy so I wanted him to do well.

I'm pretty ambivalent about Blake's girls. I think they were both mediocre.

LOVE Beverly.......LOVE Javier! It'll be one of them, I think.

[luv2luvgirls]

totally agree Diva...Im thinking Javier or Bev. And yeah Blakes 2 were just so so

Frenchie had talent,I think Vicci has talent when she isnt trying to hard.

[purepisces]

Wow, I can't believe I'm Dia's only fan here!

I think all 4 of the remaining people are great, and I wish that there had been a way for Nakia to make it to the finals with them. Beverly has such a powerful voice, Vicci is so passionate and sincere-I just love her.

But, in my opinion, Dia has the most unique & interesting voice and I love the creative arrangements she does.

Whatever happens, I am so excited about all the queer talent that has been showcased with The Voice.

[WolfyOne]

The 4 that remain are the 4 I picked before I knew who they were.

Pure, I like Dia's voice and the musical talent she brings along with her singing.

Vicci rocks to her own beat and the drumming was over the top. I'm partial to percussion since I played drums in HS.

Beverly impressed me when she started out on the piano, she does more than just sing...yay!!!

Javier as we know is multi-talented, once had a music contract that fell apart
He's the one that could go all the way, but I sure hope it's one of the women instead.

yeah it gets me excited too,The Voice really has a great theme in not seeing first, but hearing the contestants.

I like Dia quite a lot, but I did not like her last performance. Her take on Kanye was fantastic, though.

[JustJo]

It's on....and Javier just knocked it out of the park. He's amazing.

[Diva]

I also liked the opening number with the 4 judges......

And Javier will do well whether or not he wins. He IS amazing!

[WolfyOne]

Javier did good
Can't wait to see the others perform

[Ebon]

I think we missed something. Where did Nakia go?

[JustJo]

Is it just me or does Christina sound pissy and irritated and "I don't care about this" giving her feedback to the first two?

She sounds like she'd rather be anywhere else...even though the words are complimentary... :blink:

[Gemme]

Vicci will NOT win. That's all I have to say right now.

[Ebon]

Cee-Lo looks like somebody out of Mad Max.

[JustJo]

Cee-Lo looks like somebody out of Mad Max.

Yep :)

I love him. Not really a good song for his voice though.

[scootebaby]

missed 1st hr because of work...love Cee-Lo and Vicci right now!!

and Vicci WILL win....i hope! :)

[JustJo]

I think Javier is going to win the whole thing...

[bigbutchmistie]

I heard Vicci sing for the first time a couple of weeks ago and LOVED her She will win :).

Javier and the McClelland girl are good too

[luv2luvgirls]

Im surprised to say I only liked Dia's solo tonight.

I thought all the duets were great myself.

[Ebon]

Yeah it was kind of bleh to me tonight. Javier or Beverly will probably win it.

[moxie]

Ummm.
I forgot to watch. Guess I'll wait and see what happens. Once the Final 8 was announced I kinda got blah about it.

[Diva]

Cee-Lo looks like somebody out of Mad Max.


It sorta reminded me of the movie "Hook"....the Lost Boys? It's was pretty cool.....but I wouldn't wanna dance with him....just sayin'....

[purepisces]

I wasn't able to watch last night, so I'm watching on Hulu now. Did the contestants write the original songs?

Opps...got the answer watching the show, imagine that. :)

hehe that made me lol thanks :)

[dark_crystal]

TEAM VICCI

[dark_crystal]

TEAM VICCI


oooorrrr not. TEAM JAVIER!!

[scootebaby]

wait for it!!!

[The_Lady_Snow]

I'm purposely avoiding this thread till we catch up!!!!!

[luv2luvgirls]

Im a little surprised, I noticed over the last couple shows that Dia was the crowd fave...but Im very happy for Javier..he was the one I thought would win most of the show

[Okiebug61]

Im a little surprised, I noticed over the last couple shows that Dia was the crowd fave...but Im very happy for Javier..he was the one I thought would win most of the show

Yep he is the most marketable! I do not agree he was the best. I actually liked Frampton!

[WolfyOne]

In my post #292, I said Javier could be the one to go all the way.....just saying :byebye:

[Diva]

I am ok with the results of the final.

[WolfyOne]

Tonight, I wanted Beverly or Vicci to win, but am ok with results and I'll explain why.

Better things are going to come for the gals. They get to choose who they will sign with, but Javier has no choice now, since this was about a singing contract and $100,00. Secondly, Javier was the only one with kids and it made sense for him to win and give him the money for his family now. In fact, many of his votes may have come because of the kids card being played even though he has a good voice and can hold his own as we all watched.

yep I agree...it would have been better not to have won,that being said I wonder if it was the kids card? good point WolfyOne

[Ebon]

How about he had talent. Maybe that's why he won.

TEAM VICCI

She never had a chance.

I haven't seen the finale and even if I hadn't read it here, I knew who was going to win.

Good for him!

[WhiteTigress]

How about he had talent. Maybe that's why he won.
Ebon,

I have to agree with you. The girls were good, but that guy's talent was smokin'!

WT

[WolfyOne]

He does have talent
I said in an earlier post that he was multi-talented

You do have to admit though that many people adore kids
Can you count how many times he mentioned he was doing this for them?

No I can't because I really can't remember(I have a bad memory). I could see if he couldn't sing or was average and the other two girls were better. To me Vicci should not have been the last person on Cee-Lo's team. I honestly didn't think she was better than Nakia. I could see Beverly winning though. When I thought about who would win I personally didn't think about who had kids or didn't but that is just me.

I agree with ya here !

[scootebaby]

I had liked Vicci from the start...perhaps bc she did my fave song--and did it very well...Jo liked Javier...i think they all had their up and down moments

I wasnt too big on Beverly--perhpas bc she sounded like so many others of late imho

Dia was never on my list altho after listening a 2nd time to her version of Heartless i was impressed.

MY thing is(and perhaps its from my AI days) is ppl that mention hardships,family,kids from the very beginning---like it will give them a leg up.

All in all Javier did deserve to win because he was the best talent last night!

Yeah like that other guy that had 6 kids but he sucked so he didn't make it.

[suebee]

I am WAY behind on watching the episodes, so I'm not reading ANYTHING in this thread until I catch up!

Until then I'm a blind :floatbee:

[JustJo]

Watched the whole show last night but couldn't post cuz I was trapped in an arcade game. :seeingstars: (I did make it to 5th on the leader board though!)

Anyway....I liked Javier from the beginning, and I think he deserves it based purely on his talent. Also, when he sang with Stevie last night I was touched. I always loved her, but her voice is gone....and he clearly did his best to make her sound good, paid her respect, and took direction from her. I loved that. To me, it showed character (as well as talent).

I thought Beverly had a shot, but honestly she was doing something weird last night that just sounded flat out bad to my ear. Not sure what that was all about...

Here's the good news....the final 8 are all touring, and you know that a lot of folks on that show (even that didn't make it to the final) will have some open doors that they didn't before. I like that. :)

[Leigh]

I figured that if it came down to any two people, I'd have wanted it to be either Beverly or Javier so I'm very glad he won :)

[purepisces]

I liked all 4 finalist (and also Nakia) so I am happy with any of them winning.

Javier seems to not just have a great voice but also to be a nice & humble person. Congratulations to him and I think that we will see more of Beverly, Vicci, and especially Dia in the future.

I think they are already planning a second season of The Voice!

[Greyson]

I do not get to watch "The Voice" often. But, when I do, I enjoy it. Last Friday night I was out having dinner with friends and was seated next to a gay man that came with mutual friends. We clicked and chatted easily with one another.

What does this have to do with this thread? You guessed it! He was called back to do a second audition for the show. If he makes the cut, I will let you know which contestant he is. He really does have a very smooth voice and I was impressed by his ease and friendships with a group of Queers that were primarily Queer women represented of much of the LGBTQ rainbow, spectrum.

[The Oopster]

I'm surprised there are no new posting on this!

I'm presuming the one the other day identifies as butch! I take jpresume this by the way she was talking and they were blocking out her face but not clothes.

I just thought I'd come in and see what people thought about her/hym? I am sort of glad she went with Cee Lo because the way she was talking about people always wanting to change her to look a certain way. I feel like Cee Lo is the last person to do that!

[NorCalStud]

I agree. Im glad cee lo was chosen. I got a flavor, by comparing their responses to others, that they were not excited by her visually? That could be my filter bcuz in my opinion some people's "material" comes up around seeing an obvious butch.

[Ebon]

Beverly McClellan from last season was pretty butch so I don't know.

Beverly McClellan from last season was pretty butch so I don't know.

I was thinking earlier if the feed back she has had in the past has more to do with her not bringing confidence with her in who she is as a butch.

Beverly definitely owned who she was and is!

I didn't get that as much from this new person. That is when I think others try to go in an change it!

I think that happens to all of us in life! If we are strong and confident in something in our life that others don't get people don't mess with it like they do with something that isn't.

I just felt like musically Blake could have been the better match but that Cee Lo is more apt to bring out that confidence in her being who she is, especially since he tends to get a lot of the participants that seem to stand out there as individuals. If she is around others that are free in being who they are that may help her.

[Gemme]

I've been watching. I've just been too lazy to come in and speculate about my favorites, although this is my favorite part of the show.

I love the auditions.

[tonaderspeisung]

i was listening to this show the other night - i heard a singer channeling a mix of macy gray, regina spektor and carol channing - terribly affected but like a train wreck i couldn't look away from

someone at my work told me she was on rock of love with bret michaels

[luv2luvgirls]

Im enjoying the banter and low blows from the coaches to eachother. Blake is cracking me up!

As for the talent I have a couple I think will go far. Cant wait for tonight!

[Mr Nice Guy]

I've downloaded a couple of songs from the show. Some good talent.

[luv2luvgirls]

Who's watching this season?

I am so in love with Katrina Parkers voice.. before Christina said she reminded her of Adele I was saying the same. She is so sweet and sexy I want her to win
