The Voice Season 2

by Todd Betzold

 

This is it folks...one more singer will go home tonight from Team Adam and Team Cee Lo and we will have our semifinals all set for The Voice next week...who do you think it will be?

 

For the three remaining singers on Team Adam and Team Cee Lo, we will find out who America gave the most votes to and saved for each team...then the remaining two singers will sing their last chance song and battle it out for their coach with the coach saving one of them. So, four singers moving on to the semifinals tonight and two more packing their bags and heading home.

 

After a look back at last night's performances, we get to see a special performance from Florence + The Machine...Team Cee Lo joined her as well during the performance.

 

Now time for some results...up first is Team Adam...America saved Tony Lucca (called it), so Katrina Parker and Mathai will sing one last chance song for Adam to keep them in the competition. Now it is time for Team Cee Lo...America saved Jamar Rogers (bring on my tears, yay and I called it), so Juliet Simms and Cheesa will song one last chance song for Cee Lo to remain in the competition. I am saying it will be Juliet and Katrina moving on, even though I love me some Cheesa.

 

The last chance performances begin with Team Adam:

 

Mathai - "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood
This would be the last song I could imagine Mathai picking to sing...her voice is like the opposite of country and I think this song choice will hurt her. It was an alright performance, but nothing special...you want to make it to the semifinals you put it all on that stage...she didn't. Blake said he loved to see her embrace her hillbilly side...I love it. Christina could hear the nerves in it...it's a tough spot to be in.

 

Katrina Parker - "F**kin' Perfect" by Pink
You ever want to win my vote in a singing competition...sing this song. She does an excellent job and shows off the voice that so many people love, including all the judges. Blake said he knows Tony got the vote from America, but Katrina is the best singer on your team. Christina said you are really great picking songs for yourself...I am really excited to hear you sing original songs. Cee Lo said you sang with a lot of clarity and conviction under these conditions.

 

Now time for Adam to make his decision...Blake and Christina say they would save Katrina and Cee Lo says he would save Mathai...Blake said Katrina brings it hard on these saves. Adam said it boils down to who he has seen more of right now in the competition and that person is Katrina...called this one too.

 

Now time for the last chance performances for Team Cee Lo:


Cheesa - "Already Gone" by Kelly Clarkson
I love this girl...she has so many haters online, but you have to give it up for her...she can sing! She gave me goosebumps...do you think she is singing this in anticipation? Blake said it's hard not to get excited when you sing...I detected some flatness, but hitting the big notes takes that away. Christina said you've proven you are someone reckon with. Adam said it's hard for me to say it, but they are correct...said today wasn't as strong as Whitney last night.

 

Juliet Simms - "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia
Not to repeat myself, but I love this girl and she gave me goosebumps also. You could see the emotion as she sang this and showed that she wants to stay in this competition. Blake said he was the only one to not turn around during the blind audition and now he loves her. Christina said the soft voice she has used the last two songs she doesn't like...she is waiting for another "Roxanne" moment from her.

 

Now time for Cee Lo to make his decision...I hate this one because I love them both and feel they are both excellent in their own way...I think he will save Juliet, but ugh, I love me some Cheesa. Christina and Blake would both pick Julia, but will Cee Lo pick her? As tough as it is for him to do it, he has to go with Juliet and Cheesa will go home.

 

To sum it up, moving on the semifinals are Tony Lucca and Katrina Parker for Team Adam and Jamar Rogers and Juliet Simms for Team Cee Lo.

 

The Voice airs Mondays at 8/7c and Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
