Not impressed with last night's contestants.

Her name is Clarissa Serna and she is the niece of the actor Pepe Serna. I've heard her sing locally and she has a lovely voice. Looking forward to seeing if it translates to the big Voice venue.
Did she make the show? I don't remember her.

I have not seen that name yet but the jazz/rock girl from Smithfield, Virginia is from the area where I lived for 23 years.

My old high school principal posted about her on fb last night....

I really enjoyed the 16 year old girl who sang Titanium.

I just watched the first night and the only one who jumped out at me that I would actually pay money to hear is the duo. The first and last girls were fine but I wouldn't pay money to see them. The rest were just ok.

But Adam looked wonderful. 😘

They didn't feature her, but I think I saw her in a preview for next week. It was our local paper that said she would appear this week, but it also said neither she nor The Voice reps could comment, so I don't know where they got their info.

Apparently, another local woman, Paula DeAnda, also did a blind audition.

Here's a Clarissa Serna video:

And a Paula DeAnda video:

I know Clarissa performs around town often, but hadn't heard anything about Paula DeAnda in years.

I did really like the duo who sang the Beatles song -- I understand why Adam went nuts for them as he's such a Beatles fan. That's one of my fave songs too. I hope they stick around!

I saw some of the last rocker chick -- I didn't quite get the foaming-at-the-mouth adulation. To me she was "pitchy" in parts, to channel Randy Jackson.... She has pipes though and quite a bit of self-confidence. And only 17....

The worship pastor was interesting but I don't see him lasting. None of the R&B types seem to....

I felt a little bad for the guy who sang (and danced) to Blurred Lines... I thought someone would turn for him. He had a good voice. I didn't quite buy Adam's complaint that "when there's movement it can be hard to hear the voice." HUH? I still wish they wouldn't show us any background on someone who's not
going to get a chair turned!!
I really liked the guy who sang blurred lines. I think America would have voted for him. I really want to know why no one turned for him. I'm totally upset they passed him by.

Thumbs up I agree!

Christina is my favorite so far! I loved her rendition of Wrecking Ball !

The contestents were nothing to write home about. I really enjoy the addition of Sharika and Usher. They are much better than the other two. The show seems to be more about the judges than the contestants. I am not a fan of Usher but he was simply charming.

Actually, maybe it was the song, but I thought the guy who sang blurred lines had a pretty marginal voice; I really wasn't impressed. I totally understood why the judges didn't turn--I wouldn't have either.
