That's kind of insulting. Some people really like that old style, "humorous" type country music. I actually thought it was a fun song, and enjoyed it. I don't buy any of the songs or vote, though. This show is just for entertainment for me, and I can listen to their songs again on youtube if I want.
No insult intended. I liked them singing "Wagon Wheel" and they earned 3 of the ten votes, I voted for on-line. I too thought it was funny in a comedy way, but I don't think Blake should have picked that song for them, at this stage of the contest. I think the brothers were sort of embarassed singing it. But I could be wrong. I am still loving the Swon Brothers, Danielle, and Amber.
I really enjoyed last night's show and how we got to see some other sides of a few of the artists. Sasha, who has not been my favorite, gave two outstanding performances last night that may have changed some people's opinions about her.
Didn't like the song that Adam chose to Amanda, but her version of "Crazy" blew me away. Loved it.
Although I love Danielle, neither of the songs she sang last night did much for me. Same for Michelle.
Liked Holly's first song with attitude but not the second.
I'm not going to apologize for really liking the Swon Brothers. Agree that "Okie From Muskogee" was a little draggy. "Wagon Wheel" was much better.
From my perspective, I think Holly may be sent home tonight.
I won't post any elimination spoilers, but I will say that after watching Danielle and Amber performing "Eternal Flame", it seemed quite obvious to me as to who the better singer was, at that was Amber.
I don't care for country, I've fast forwarded through the majority of the country performances. That said I listened to all of them on Monday and I don't get it. I thought both Amber and Holly were better than Danielle. (That being said I didn't care for any of them all that much.) All this talk about how great she is just doesn't add up for me. I was expecting someone on a Carrie Underwood or Martina McBride level, instead I feel like I got maybe a small step up from Taylor Swift.
I know it's not likely, but I hope Michelle wins. I think she is the best vocally and performance wise.

Danielle has them both beat handily in terms of her ease of range. She hits notes effortlessly, or at least makes it appear effortless, that the other two are clearly straining to hit. I also think her voice quality is better and it has a clarity about it compared to the other two, especially Holly, but I guess that's subjective. I wasn't surprised to see Holly go.
There's also a major difference between Danielle and Taylor Swift: Danielle can actually sing in tune during live performances. And she's a lot easier to look at too.
A Michelle win isn't that far-fetched. Best I can tell the only thing standing between her and victory is Danielle, and if the top three come down to Michelle and two country acts, the other two may split the country-fan vote and hand Michelle the win.
Meanwhile many people thought Adam was a straight-up fool for picking Amber over Judith in the battle rounds. Meanwhile, Amber is still around while Judith is gone -- a gross injustice if you ask me.

100% agreed!

I hope that she wins, too. Or Amber. I really like Amber. She reminds me of a Carrie Underwood/Kelly Clarkson. Able to do the country thing. But also the rock thing. And the soul/R&B thing.

I think Danielle's singing is effortless...within her someone narrow range. I think that Amber has a far greater range. Also, the more I watch/hear Danielle, the less I like her. For someone who doesn't emote at all, she somehow comes across as very fake to me.
And Adam didn't pick Amber over Judith. He picked Amber over Sasha, who is also still hanging around. Judith battled Karina (who was also stolen by Shakira).

Amber reminds me of Carrie Underwood, too. I always say that to my husband. I love her voice.
Danielle kinda reminds me of that Brady Bunch girl--w/ the long hair. Nice voice, too, but maybe more for the young crowd.

LOL - Yes, Amber has always reminded me of Carrie - she even resembles her somewhat. I love her voice, she is my favorite - not only can she sing any type of music (like Carrie) she knows just how to "nuance" her singing appropriate to the material.
I still really like Danielle - I LOVED the two of them on Eternal Flame - it was nice to hear Danielle sing something not country. I thought her voice rang out clear as a bell, and thought she sounded every bit as good as Amber, at some points actually even better. JMO, of course.
Top 2 are Danielle and Michelle for sure. They will be duking it out at the end.
I enjoyed seeing Cassadee - wasn't super crazy about her song but not bad. And she's touring with Rascal Flatts, so that will help her out a lot. She seems like a sweet girl.
One last thing I want to say, I thought it was so incredibly sweet last night, that when Swon Bros. name was called as the last to be safe, neither one smiled they just immediately turned to Hollie and starting hugging and comforting her. That says a lot to me about what kind of guys they are. I know they won't survive the cut next week (probably) but I hope they have success. I thought Holly sounded great singing with them and thought they could be a group like Lady Antebellum or Little Big Town. Those groups are really popular right now (plus the Band Perry).

Agree with all of the above. I thought it was nice to the way Blake was hugging her when she was crying at the end. Blake really does care about his singers and sometimes it looks like he is near tears himself. When Danielle and Amber were singing I was thinking that could make a very interesting top 2.
The only negative thing for me last night was the Madonna song for Michelle and Sasha. That was not the right song for them, they deserved a song that would showcase their talent better. That was not a good fit a all. But I also loved Amber and Danielle on Eternal Flame...Awesome!
