The Voice [season thread]

Hmm, I hadn’t even thought of that. Guess Tyler shouldn’t have come out just yet. First you win, then you rub all their faces in it.

Yeah - the strong feeling in our house was that Blake didn’t think he could defend having a gay guy on his team to the rest of country music. Yes, that is a bigoted response to a potentially bigoted choice (just to attempt to defuse that line of discussion).

The Jokes on Blake. He’s still picked a gay guy. :smiley: Did you notice the awkward silence when Reba asked the County singer about gf’s?

Doesn’t matter to me. It’s about The Voice not who they spend time with.

With this format it’s going to be tough learning names. We won’t see Frenchie, the country dude etc. again until a month from now. Next week is 4 more strangers.

I was thinking about this a bit more - did Blake find out Tyler was gay after he picked him? In that case, he sounds like a real shit if he dumped him because he was gay (and apparently you can’t be gay in country music - or should I say, openly gay, since I’m sure there are gay people in country music).

My country music hero.

For all I know, coming out killed her career, but still.

Jeebus…the first “hitmaking country singer” to come out of the closet did so in May of 2010?! Oy. :smack:

Has there been a second? I’m guessing not…

I guess if you consider k.d. lang a country singer, there’s two. Doesn’t look like there’s any openly gay men country singers. (My Google search also returned “related search - Country singer Kenny Chesney” - maybe Google knows something we don’t? :slight_smile: )

Not me. I liked Patrick’s voice better, not his sexuality. I don’t think it is fair to Blake to speculate that he made his decision on anything other their singing.

I interrupt this The Voice thread to say: Yay! The Sing Off is coming back!

I now return you to the thread in progress. . .

Soooo Christina thinks Large Afro Guy has a nice package. Too bad he’ll not be around long enough for her to inspect it. Ba da bum tissshh

Also, and I know this has been mentioned many times already, but Cee-Lo’s little T-Rex arms bother the heck out of me.

Some of these matchups and songs don’t make sense. Everybody knows Beverly (bald chick) can rock a power ballad. So they give her another one?? WTF is the point? If you want to test her then make her sing something soft and melodic. Find out if she has any control of that voice.

Beginning to doubt this is a real competition to find the best voice. Even Christina commented that she knew that song she gave Beverly would bring down the house. So What? :confused: First this is supposed to be testing and stretching these artists. If this is all about getting people to sing popular songs and get people clapping, it seems a bit pointless. I can hear those songs, sung by the original artists anytime I want.

Nakia and Tje (the first dudes singing “Closer”) really did a nice duet - I liked Nakia’s smoother voice paired with Tje’s growlier voice. Um, who got kicked off? I thought Cee-Lo said “Kia,” but Tje looked like he was celebrating his victory. ???

The fat white guy.

Thanks, Biggirl. Everyone should be so happy to get kicked off!

I think I could really develop a dislike for that couple (Elenowen?). And if I never hear, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” again as long as I live, I think I’d be okay with that.

ETA: And they’re gone! Too bad for them.

The shrieking bald lady makes it through. Too bad; I think she has a very limited talent.

Tje got kicked off, Nakia made it. That was a hard pick, but I would have agreed. Tje has a nice, smooth voice, but Nakia’s voice was more interesting to me.

I don’t know if this is means anything in particular but:

[spoiler]Javier Colon is playing as a one of the “celebrities” in the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Golf Tour this weekend.

The Nationwide Golf tour is a Developmental tour for the PGA Tour. [/spoiler]

I agreed with all of the pro picks I saw. I didn’t see Adam Levine’s duet, though.

The Voice live performances (suitable for voting on) tonight. The opening number with the stars singing Queen was…so close to incredible. Christina should have sang Freddy Mercury dead straight - she’s one of the artists who actually can.

I have a got a severe case of Male Pattern Baldness.

Who would have thought I have more hair than two of the singers (both women, combined) on Christina’s team?
