Do you think the coaches pick the people in the battle rounds based on personalities? Most of them seemed pretty close in talent. I'm wondering if they're trying to get rid of people they don't enjoy working with as much.

Carson stated at the beginning of the battle round that all eyes would be on Adam... well that was until Xtina walked out with that outfit.

Carson is just soo much cooler than Seacrest, who I have always found to be gratingly insipid.

I just heart the Kelly Clarkson defection.

Blake likes those very young girls--in a fatherly way, I assume. I also have a theory that Blake is always going to pick the person Miranda helped coach.
I had that very same thought Marlow about Blake picking those that his wife coached. Mentioned that to my dh last night as we watched most of the show together.

And now she shows up on The Voice with a total different look a few years later-polished..almost as if maybe she has been getting advice from industry insiders on "image" and what would make her more "marketable". To be honest, I really thought she looked better with the dreadlocks (and this is coming from a conservative country girl here in rural Texas!).
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT REMEMBERS HER FROM THAT SHOW? She was quite memorable.

No, you're not the only one. I really enjoyed how she sang her heart out on the "Man who sold the world" that I had that one added to my iphone songlist. We had her performance from Rock Star recorded on our dvr some time ago but with power outages and other Directv issues, I don't believe it's on there anymore. I'll have to open those links later. Thanks for adding those.

I'm really rooting for her. Although up until yesterday evening, didn't realize that the Utube mega hitter, Angie Johnson was competing on the show too but then found out that she got eliminated.

I am really enjoying this season. I found myself actually watching the entire show rather than fast-forwarding to the actual performances. I can't remember the last time I did that.

I don't care for "American Idol" or "Who's Got Talent" or any of those shows. And I didn't watch the first segiment of "The Voice". But I latched onto this season's second episode and liked it. Then yesterday began the competition and at first I thought the whole process and concept was weird. But it produced some mighty good performances, and I enjoyed them all.

I even liked Raelynn. Can't remember the other singer's name. But, as much as I liked her, her voice sounded like a lot of other "belters". And I thought Raelynn did great, especially considering that the song was way out of her realm. I see incredible potential in her.

I did have to agree with Blake's criticism of the performances by Jordan and her competitor (I am TERRIBLE with names). I thought this one was the poorest duo, and I think it was because of the song. Alanis Morrisette's song are not easy ones to nail. But that's what the challenge is all about.

Adley was better than Raelynn. I think Blake was listening to his wife.

Absolutely! As soon as I saw that she was the "coach" there is no way he could have gone with anyone else. That almost shouldn't have been allowed -- it's clearly prejudicial!

so glad i am not the only one! jordis was so memorable, unique, incredible, and a rock powerhouse on Rock Star. yeah i do miss the dreads, but ok i understand she's trying to be more marketable mainstream. however....i have to wonder what has happened to her in the last few years, between Rock Star and The Voice. she seems to have lost confidence. which i just dont understand, because she is SO talented. i wonder if its something that has happened in her personal life, or just hard knocks in the business have beat her down. i hope this is now her time to finally shine..i just hope that she can gain the confidence to take the bull by the horns and just do it!
