The Voice Season 2
theschnauzers:
apskip, that was the opera major from Vanderbilt you're referring to. He definitely reminded me of another talent, Rusell Watson, who was not formally trained and was discovered in a bar in the UK and he could sing opera and pop. (You almost certainly heard him singing the theme to the TV series "Star Trek:Enterprise.")
I have to admit I do like Adam Levine's sensibilities as a coach on "The Voice."

Universal City, Calif. – February 6, 2012 – Last night, the second season premiere of “The Voice,” which aired following NBC Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl XLVI, delivered the highest 18-49 rating for any entertainment program on any broadcast network in six years, according to “fast affiliate-based” “live plus same day” viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.
Sunday from 10:19-11:21 p.m. ET, “The Voice” averaged a 16.3 rating in adults 18-49 and 37.6 million viewers overall. This marks the highest 18-49 rating for any television entertainment program in six years, since ABC’s post-Super Bowl telecast of “Grey’s Anatomy” on February 5, 2006.
Last night’s telecast of “The Voice” also marks NBC’s highest-rated post-Super Bowl telecast in adults 18-49 in 14 years, since “3rd Rock from the Sun” on January 25, 1998 (a 17.1 rating), and in total viewers, it was NBC’s top post-Super Bowl telecast since “Friends” on January 28, 1996 (52.9 million).
Last night’s telecast of “The Voice” marks NBC’s highest-rated entertainment telecast overall in both adults 18-49 and total viewers since the series finale of “Friends” on May 6, 2004.
Versus last year’s post-Super Bowl telecast of “Glee,” “The Voice” was up by 47 percent in 18-49 rating (16.3 vs. 11.1) and up 40 percent in total viewers (37.6 million vs. 26.8 million).
This marks new series records for “The Voice” in all key measures. In 18-49 rating, last night’s 16.3 rating is up 186 percent versus the show’s previous high (a 5.7 from 9-11 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 3, 2011). In total viewers, last night’s telecast is up 161 percent versus the show’s previous high (14.4 million viewers from 10-11 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, following the season premiere of “America’s Got Talent”).
Last season, “The Voice” (5.5/15 in adults 18-49, 13.7 million viewers overall) was the season’s #1 new series in adults 18-49 and NBC’s top new series in that demo since the launch of “Heroes” during the 2006-07 season. Among all entertainment series on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW last season, “The Voice” ranked behind only “American Idol” in adults 18-49
Last night’s NBC lineup also featured a special edition of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” from Indianapolis, which averaged a 2.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 6.166 million viewers overall from 11:56 p.m.-12:56 a.m. ET. This easily stands as Fallon’s top-rated telecast to date in both adults 18-49 and total viewers.
Compared with the show’s previous series highs (1.9 in18-49 rating, 4.0 million viewers overall on January 22, 2010, following Conan’s final “Tonight Show”), Fallon was up 32 percent in 18-49 rating and 55 percent in total viewers.

LoveRocked:
Raelynn – 17 -”Hell on Heels” by Miranda Lambert. She comes from a farm! She’s there with her parents. Uh oh. And she’s hoping Blake turns around. Blake is smiling! Adam pushes his button right away. Blake punches his button. This girl sounds REAL nervous. Gutsy vocals. She’s got grit, which I like. Adam is trying to convince Raylynn to pick her. Raylynn says Miranda is her Idol. Cee Lo and Christina compliment her. Blake says. I CAN MAKE YOU A COUNTRY STAR. Adam: Why wouldn’t you want to be more than that? Oh. Burn. She hesitates, but goes with Blake. Of course she did. TEAM BLAKE

Jesse Campbell – 42 – “Song For You” – He’s a single dad who became homeless after his wife left him. He sings at churches and weddings. He’s looking for a fresh start. Now he’s crying. Wow. Cee Lo, Xtina and Adam turned around IMMEDIATELY. Adam looks entranced. Blake turned around after a bit too. There’s going to be a fight over this one!. He’s got a very sweet R&B falsetto. Lots of feeling in his delivery. STANDING O. Blake regrets not turning around. Christina will work hard for him. “Your style is strong brother” says Cee Lo. Adam says, “You just blew me away” Adam brags about coaching the winner. Hmf. Not mentioning that the winner’s album TANKED. Jesse picks the first coach who came to his mind–Christina. Team Christina

Juliette Simms – 25 – “Oh Darling” – Rocker from Florida. She’s been performing live since she was 14. She’s got a nice rasp. Adam and Ceelo turn around when she hits the chorus. Adam is standing up with his fist in the air. Juliette is crawling around on the floor as she sings. Christina finally turns around. “Hi my name is Adam, I’m going to sell you a car!” – Christina snarking on Adam. Adam says Christina is one of the best singers on earth, but she’s not one of the best coaches. He loves “the dirt” in Juliette’s voice. Christina keeps interrupting Adam. She needs to shut up right now. Ugh. A whole season of Christina the harpie? I hope not. Cee Lo says, “You turn me on.” TMI! “I heard the story of my life in that song.” Juliette says she’s humbled…but she’s going to pick…Cee Lo. Oh! After Adam practically creamed over her, I was sure she’d pick him. Team Cee Lo
http://youtu.be/XiYsJ4nyhPw
Chris Mann – Because We Believe – His mom has pancreatic cancer. Oh. That’s terrible. She wants him to continue to work toward his dream, despite her terminal illness. He’s a pop opera singer. The look on Blake’s face as Chris warbled was pretty priceless. Cee Lo turns around 1st, then Christina. “I loved it!” says Christina. Blake says he couldn’t understand one word he was singing. Cee Lo called it exceptionally beautiful. Chris says for this show he was going to “sing like myself”. He’s got decent vocals, but he’s so different than the rest of the group, I don’t know how he’ll compete singing pops songs. I’ll be surprised if he survives the battle rounds. Chris asks each one what they’d do for him if they were his coach. “I know what to do with real vocalists,” says Christina. And he picks her. Team Christina
http://youtu.be/a1q2GxFZGlA
Tony Lucca – “Trouble” – Tony was in the Mickey Mouse club with Xtina, Justin Timberlake and Britney. Unlike that trio, he didn’t hit the big time in Hollywood. Will Xtina recognize his voice? Probably not. Adam turns around for him. Christina turns around and then Blake. Adam gets up out of his chair and punches Cee Lo’s button! Tony has a nice gritty voice. He sings with conviction (and an acoustic guitar). Adam felt real pain and energy in his voice–thinks he’ll have a great career (Like Javier? Sorry, I just can’t let up on the fact that last year’s winner’s album tanked. The coaches can’t brag or promise they can launch careers). LOL XTINA HAS NO F*CKING IDEA WHO HER FORMER CAST MATE IS. Even after she turns around! Her generic compliments make that clear. Adam is begging to be picked. And Tony picks Adam. After Xtina was TOLD who he was…she hurried backstage to say Hi to him. She said Britney had a crush on him! Hmf. I bet Britney would remember him! (Supposedly he’s got 500k twitter follows and has been releasing albums for years.) Team Adam

LoveRocked:
The Line – Haley and Leland – “American Girl” – A country duo. Blake turns around first and is surprised to see two people. Haley joins in on harmonies, which could be tighter, but I like the individual sounds of their voices. Christina turns around, Cee Lo next and then Adam! Blake is pissed. Adam says he wants to be part of their energy. Cee Lo loves their chemistry, sees the connection. Christina hears something amazing–fun. The second singer made her turn around. Blake says he can relate to female signers, because he’s married to one. Adam rolls his eyes. The duo is having trouble deciding. Surprisingly, they pick Christina! Adam swears. Blake thought they were going to pick him. “They were fooled by flash and boobs.” Team Christina.

Jamar Rogers – “Seven Nation Army” – Six years ago he got clean off of Crystal meth. As a result of his drug addiction, he’s HIV positive. He’s another “invited” contestant. The show is probably casting him because he was on Idol before. You remember him? He was Danny Gokey’s best friend in Season 8. He was cut in Hollywood, while Danny moved on. I don’t think the HIV positive part of his story was discussed on Idol. Big chunks of his story have been left out. His faith isn’t part of this story at all (Danny knew him from church). He’s singing, but it takes awhile for Cee Lo to turn around. AND he’s the only one giving love to Jamar. It’s ok. Jamar is a hard core fan. It’s the reason he auditioned for the show. Christina and Adam thought he belonged to Cee Lo. He tells Cee Lo he lives in New York City and Atlanta. Wait Jamar…no love for Wisconsin? You lived there too. Jamar sounds better than I remember him. He’s got a nice soulful rasp. Team Cee Lo
No links Video.
Gwen Sebastian– “Stay” – Comes from a family of musicians in North Dakota. Her boyfriend is supporting her musical dreams. She’s giving up having kids to persue music. She’s a country singer. Nobody is turning around, but she’s got a nice twang-beautiful catch in her voice. Finally, Blake turns around, and then Cee Lo. On the last note, Adam turns around. Blake is really mad again. He says she’s got a great country vocal. Blake says he’s her country guy. Adam wants to do something different. He loves the way she projected. Cool and confident. He doesn’t try to convince her. PICK BLAKE. And she does. Team Blake

Kim Yarborough – 50 – “Tell Me Something Good” – She doesn’t have a problem being 50. It’s everyone else. She’s got a big old fashioned voice. Have no idea what they’d do with her. She’d be great on a cruise or in the clubs, but she’s not a pop star. And it has nothing to do with her age. Adam and Christina turned around for her. “We’re going to fight over you like children,” says Adam. Blake points out that Adam won last year. Oooh. Dissing Christina. Adam says she has no limitations. Christina says she can sing anything she wants to. And Adam is finally picked. – Team Adam.

Angie Johnson – 31 – “Heartbreaker” – She was a stealth bomber in the military. She’s a singer in the military band that made a You Tube video that went viral. Carson Daly found it online (RIGHT). She’s like, a SUPER HOT stealth bomber. She’s got pitch issues, but she’s got a big ole voice. Lots of power there. Cee Lo is the only one to turn around. He wants to see how pretty she is, so he puts on some big silly sun glasses. Har dee Har Har. He says he likes a woman with guts, confidence and power. – Team Cee Lo

Lindsey Paveo – “Say Ahh” by Trey Songz – She loves music, especially Radiohead, Nirvana etc. She’s only performed in front of 40 people or so and is afraid of choking, because she’s done it before. This girl was featured in a promo I posted a few weeks ago. She’s got a unique voice. Beautiful tone, great phrasing. Christina turns around, then Cee Lo. Then Blake, who says he loves her voice. “And your hair is bad ass.”. Blake compares her to Fiona Apple. Christina enjoyed every moment. So she has to pick. And she picks Christina – Team Christina

Jermaine Paul – 33 – “Complicated” – Is Alicia Keys background singer. Alicia has taught him a lot. His daughter told hm about the show. Alicia wishes him good luck via video. Background singers are usually in the background because they don’t have the “it” factor to be out front. Cee Lo turns around. This guy is very shouty. A hot mess. No control at all. Blake turns around. Cee Lo liked his SWAG. He liked his confidence. Jermaine says he wants to be “kept”. Blake says “Keep” is up to him, how hard he works. Jermaine wants to know why he turned after Cee Lo. WHOA. He goes for Blake. I wasn’t expecting that. He must watch the show. He knows Blake will support him, even after the show is over. Here’s Jermaine covering Trey Songs. Team Blake

Angel Taylor – “Someone Like You” – Her father was abusive. At one point, the family picked up and fled. She covers Adele, but has pitch problems and is weirdly taking on some of Adele’s phrasing. Adam turns around first. Cee Lo and Blake also turn around. Adam says she wasn’t good at the beginning. Blake says, “I thought she was good at the beginning”. Adam says, “I’m not going to lie to her.” Ohh. Cee Lo liked her lower register. Angel has a crush on Blake, who says he doesn’t know what he can do for her, but he’ll try. Adam says he DOES know what he can do for her, and that impresses her. She picks Adam. Angel had a record contract a few years ago, and a song on the VH1 countdown. Here’s her song. She sound very different here. (I didn’t really like her audition much). Team Adam

apskip:
The thing that is clear is each coach will have 12 singers on his/her team initially. This is up from 8 last season. It just means that the ones who make it through will have survived more competition.
