Apparently no one from The Voice reads this blog. I say that because right after I praised them last week for not montaging anyone who made the teams, this week, they montaged like half the contestants who made it onto teams. Best guess is that those people don’t have “compelling” stories, in that they are just regular folks- they weren’t abandoned on doorsteps or old friends of Blake’s. But why show me the kid who is otherwise a professional mover that doesn’t make it if you’re not going to show me the equally boring (but more talented) person who does?

The Voice s4 – Blind Auditions Night 2

Night 2 of the blind auditions was only one hour long, but we got to see the developing “alliance” between Blake and Usher.
I really like Midas Whale, but so far, no duo has ever made it out of the battle rounds, so they’ve got a long road ahead of them.
One thing I didn’t mention yesterday, but that I am really liking is that this year, so far, they have shown us the performances of all the contestants that have been chosen by the coaches. We’ve only gotten those who were passed over in the montage. I appreciate that.
The Voice s4 – Blind Auditions Night 1

The Voice is back, and you know I was glued to my DVR. They put Shakira in Cee-Lo’s old seat and Usher in Christina’s. Maybe the producers were hoping that by switching things up we would not notice they replaced a black male R&B singer and a blonde Latina diva with a blonde Latina diva and a black male R&B singer. But enough about that- the only thing that really matters is the dynamic between the coaches. Blake and Adam kept up their love/hate relationship and Shakira and Usher both seemed to fit right in, each playing to their strengths.
