By Erica I wish it would have come a week later as I was literally home no earlier than 9 PM every night this past week. The GREAT thing about Blind Auditions is there are no worries about “spoilers” on who goes home, etc. Everyone is a complete stranger and it is a decent mix […]
The Voice: The Final Night of Competition
By Erica I got home fairly late to the sad, maddening news about Manchester, England and thankfully, my trusty TIVO recording The Voice. Glass of wine in hand, off we go! They are doing the same song themes as they did last season, which pleases me greatly. I LOVE that they have the artists singing an […]
The Voice: And Then There Were Eight
By Erica It’s hard to believe we’re almost to the end! I knew going in that the probabilities are high that someone I like, or perhaps two someones, will be going home this week. While I can’t honestly say that this season has someone like Alisan, Sundance, or Jordan who continually blows me away week […]
The Voice Top Ten; Alisan Returns
By Erica Another week down, some great performances to enjoy, and another artist went home. No artist performed so badly on Monday that I thought “Whew, it is easy to say that person is going home”. Not even Hunter! My opinionated adversary, Tamara Tattles, watched this week so wondering if she is still willing to […]
The Voice: The Live Round Decisions Have Been Made!
By Erica It is the second and final week of the Knockouts, with a two-hour KO on Monday, and a one hour “Road to the Live Shows” on Tuesday. This will include some unseen footage as well as a review of the 20 artists left. While I do enjoy all the steps leading up to […]
The Voice Battle Rounds: Tough Decisions
By Erica Throughout this season, I have mentioned that while the performances have been absolutely solid, there hasn’t been an artist who has given me the shivers from the beginning. Last week gave me hope and kept me riveted. First week of Knockouts kept my interest as well. THE TALENT I don’t know how […]
The Voice Battle Rounds: Know Your Lane!
By Erica Right off the bat, Monday and Tuesday’s episodes of The Voice kept me riveted – so much better than last week! Not only were there some great performances worthy of any of the previous seasons, but there was probably one of the worst I can remember. Captivating television. More on that later. THE […]
The Voice: A Young Russell Crowe
By Erica Hello all my Voice lurkers!!! Spring has sprung, pollen is kicking my ass, and it is time for the Battle Rounds! TT tells me that the Voice entries get a lot of views – give me a shout out in the comments! If there is an area or topic of conversation I’m missing […]
The Voice Did Blake Shelton Cheat?
By Erica The final week of the Blind Auditions is here! It has only been three weeks, but it feels longer. Thank goodness they aren’t like American Idol, and show us a bunch of bad auditions too. This is the week where the coaches get very picky, as they only have two spots left. It […]
The Voice: Blinds Week Two
By Erica Its’ week two of The Voice, and HALLELUJAH the bios of the talent aren’t all sob stories! Some are actually more about their paths as musicians! I’m grateful as I thought I was going to have to fast forward. I can’t hear too many sob stories on a show I watch for fun. […]
THE VOICE: THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
By Erica Hey all! It’s been a long strange week of Blind Auditions. This Thursday episode sure threw my schedule off, but I do like that the Tuesday episode was only an hour for the Blinds. Two two hour episodes back to back is sometimes too much. I did check, and next week has Monday […]
The Voice: The Final Battle Rounds
By Erica It is the second and final week of the Battles! It might have been my mood or how busy I was for last week’s Battle Rounds , or that I didn’t drink as much, but this week’s Battles certainly kept my attention. Almost each pair had something about it that kept me riveted. There […]
The Voice: Battle Rounds
By Erica Welcome to the Battle Rounds! For my Voice Virgins, the battle rounds consist of each coach taking their team of twelve and organizing them into six pairs. Each pair will sing a song selected by their coach in front of all four coaches and an audience on The Voice stage, and afterward, the coach […]
The Voice: Sayonara Flowers And Fringe
By Erica Greetings everyone! It is the third week of The Voice and the final week of the Blinds! Everyone thoroughly confused? As much as I love the Blinds and the philosophy behind them, the fact that the coaches need to find 12 people each means the people start to blend together and we forget […]
The Voice: I’LL BE YOUR HONEY MUSTARD…I’LL BE YOUR CHICKEN WING…
By Erica Am I the only one who has that little gem rolling around in her head? No? Then you aren’t paying as close attention as I am when watching the Voice! Miley (with Adam joining in occasionally) has created a little funny parody of Blake’s Honey Bee that she sings to tease Blake. I […]
The Voice Week One of Blind Audtions
By Erica Welcome to my first official blog post here and anywhere! Incredibly flattered that Tamara asked me to blog The Voice this season. I’m a little nervous since a little rusty in my writing. Tamara, DAMN, THIS IS HARD! First overwhelming impression of both days is that the Voice producers must have stolen […]
Season 11 of The Voice With Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys Looks Fantastic!
Sunday night after the Olympics, NBC ran a special thirty minute preview of Season 11 of The Voice and it was amazing. Two judges from last season are not returning. Pharell Williams to a season off to focus on his other endeavors, and Christina Aguilera left amid a bunch of rumors about her being a […]
