The show is definitely getting prioritized lower and lower as other shows start up again this season, but I’m still managing to watch on DVR – for now. Here’s some of the artists that stood out to me, good and bad, this week.
Monday
Good:
- Melanie Martinez, the adorable girl with the two-toned hair! I liked her a lot, even though her voice isn’t particularly strong. I loved that she covered a Britney song, and played a drum with her feet.
- Brian Scartocci, the bald guy with glasses who sang Stevie Wonder. I liked some of his stylistic choices, and he kind of looks like my fiancee.
- Nicholas David, the guy who died a cool rendition of “Stand By Me” was also a favorite. Despite the beard.
- I didn’t exactly love Alessandra Guercio’s performance of “The Climb”, but she can definitely sing and I think there’s potential there.
- The best we’ve seen all season, I think, was Avery Wilson. The kid is seriously good. He’s win-the-show good, and have-an-actual-career good. Amazing vocals, stage presence, good looking kid. That’s a killer combination. I think he should have picked Christina because she knows what it is to be a young prodigy and to have that gift, but Cee Lo essentially called him the Jesus of Music, so he went with Cee Lo.
Bad:
- The “Cupid Shuffle” guy. Dude, really? Why would you sing that song? Epic mistake.
- Beat Frequency, the husband/wife duo that Christina chose. They were awful! Why did she pick them? What a mistake.
Tuesday
Good:
- Why the hell didn’t anyone turn around for the woman who sang “I Have Nothing”? She wasn’t perfect, but she was damn good! Come on X-tina, she was better than Beat Freakin’ Frequency.
- She might not have quite the range of Kelly Clarkson, but little Joselyn Rivera was pretty darn good, and she’s cute as a button. I hope Christina can bring out the best in her.
- When I hear “Benji” I think “small, heroic dog”, but that’s also the name of a star contestant on The Voice this season. I liked him a lot, and I think he could be a really diverse artist.
- Oh no! An orphan in a newsboy cap? The Voice is really trying to bring on the waterworks this season. Mycle Wastman is really, really good. I want him to sing me to sleep every night for the rest of the year. I don’t know why Christina didn’t turn around, other than she never seems to do so when the other boys do and she knows she won’t win.
Bad:
- This wasn’t bad exactly, but the super-theatrical middle-aged woman singing a Demi Lovato song was rather odd. I mean, she was 52. And she sang like Stevie Nicks on Broadway. But she was singing the song that a Disney factory tween star put out after going to rehab for a laundry list of problems. It was weird.
