The final battle tonight was amazing. I think it sucked that either Justin or Tony had to go home. In fact, it makes me mad that annoying former model Erin is still around when Justin had to go home. She is nowhere near as talented as he was.

I am happy that Tony won though. He’s the guy that can sing Queen and not make me cringe. I think he’s got great potential to win the whole thing.

None of the rest of the battles tonight really moved me, but I am excited to move on to the live shows.

I missed the first battle of the night. I wish I could have missed the second and third battles. I felt bad for last week’s contestants that they had to go home and the two “winners” of those battles got to stay. I don’t think they can last long once we get to the live rounds. And despite not being impressed with any of those singers, in both cases, the coach picked opposite of what I would have.

I agreed with the choices for the fourth, fifth and sixth battles. I can see a couple of those people going far.

I’m boring right now, because for the most part, I agree with the judges’ decisions. I may not always agree with their song choices as I think song choice has a major effect.

I felt bad for the blond sandwich maker from Cee Lo’s team. I don’t think he sang badly, but the guy he was battling knocked it out of the park. Best performance of the battle rounds so far, in my opinion.

Now we know four of Christina’s team, two of Adam’s, and three each from Blake and Cee Lo. Overall, I think it’s a talent packed season.

Battlerounds! I like that we did six in our two hours- lots of singing and not too much time spent on people we’ll never see again.

I was really impressed with the battles. There were some amazing performances. In a couple cases, I would have chosen differently than the coaches, but I could also understand why they chose the way they did. The only choice I really disagreed with was Blake’s first- Raelynn.

I know she reminds him of his wife, but the girl can’t sing anything outside country. I don’t think she makes his team stronger at all.
