The Voice Season 4 Blind Auditions and Teams

The voice returned with our most exciting season

yet. In the search to find and develop the best

undiscovered talent in the country, the blind

auditions reached new heights. Hello and welcome

to GeekCaster Radio. We're taking a break from

the top. ten film countdowns in between episode

forty three and forty four and kevin and i have

gotten together and we're going to be talking

about one of the best if not the best musical

competition show on television fuck american

idol in my opinion the voice is where it's at

the only one that even comes close to this is

the lesser known one that will be coming back

i think for a third season here at some point

this year which is the sing -off which is an

all acapella vocal contest which is freaking

amazing it's got Ben Folds and shoot I can't

remember which member of voice to men as a judge

I had Sara Bareilles and a couple other people

at one point but that show is amazing but yeah

this show is number one yeah yeah this show and

of course I'm TFG and Mikey is Optimus Solo what

we're gonna be doing here is over the next Month

month and a half Because I look at Wikipedia

and so far the show is season four is supposed

to last through April 30th as far as the knockouts

So I don't know how long after that that the

live rounds are gonna go. Yeah We're gonna do

four separate podcasts this one here where we'll

talk about the blind editions and the teams for

season four and then we'll talk about Who we

picked for our own teams if we were coaches See

which one of us can pick the has the best taste

here No, just kidding see which one can have

the best luck with who lasts the longest on our

teams. Yes Yes, exactly So after after the blinds

and the teams there'll be an episode covering

the battle rounds. There'll be an episode covering

the knockouts and then When it's all said and

done there will be an episode covering the live

rounds in the finale So getting started this

this really all started for me last year in season

3 I started blogging about the stuff and I'm

doing it again this year and I don't know You

don't know no I I just If only if only Shakira

could sing her thought process to the contestants

instead of speaking in half broken English Like,

I swear, every time she opens her mouth to give

advice, I have to change the channel. Stop it.

I'm serious! She could talk to me all day. You

know, they brought in two new coaches this year.

You got Adam and Blake returning with Christina

and CeeLo being off doing their musical career

stuff and they brought in Shakira and Usher.

What do you think of the two new coaches as far

as bringing in a new dynamic for the show? I

love them so far. I agree that sometimes it's

hard for Shakira to elaborate on what she's actually

thinking. and what she wants to say because she

doesn't know how to say it. So at times that

can be kind of her little downfall, I guess,

so to speak. But I love the way that all four

of them are getting along. I think Usher brings

a lot to the table. And again, it's a completely

different group of people as far as their background

and Usher is not... in the same vein as CeeLo

by any means and Shakira is not in the same vein

as Christina. They're different genres. So I

really like it. And I can deal without the snarky

comments that you would get from Christina a

lot. She was kind of... Kind of got to like that.

Well she was just getting on my nerves within

the hole. It wasn't... It was more so when she

would take a personal vendetta against a contestant

or against... Like she did with the Mickey Mouse

Club guy. Oh, with Tony Luca? Yeah, when she

was just so out to get him for a long time and

was doing everything she could to bash him and

Adam when they were doing that. That kind of

got old to me, but other than that I didn't mind

her. Yeah, but I like I love Shakira. I'm a huge

I've always been a huge Shakira fan, so Yeah,

you know it like you know like we said it's gonna

bring a whole new dynamic and it's one of those

things where It's almost as if the two of them

have been there before I mean, yes I I know the

whole process of getting this show done is the

blinds are filmed the the battles are filmed

and then aired you know and all this and all

that like the only live actual aspect of the

show that was one of the hard hardest parts of

me watching season two and season three because

I didn't I didn't pay attention to the show season

one at all I didn't and even going back it's

like I just don't I don't give a crap about anybody

in season one but We're here to talk about season

four, but the thing is, Shakir and Usher, it's

like they fit right in. There was one of the

blind audition episodes. She points to Adam and

Blake and she's like, you see these two guys?

Four seasons of this already, they've gone deaf.

Yeah, they had some witty comments, that's for

sure. Yeah, I love the witty comments. Well,

and I like the dynamic that you get with a...

season people versus veterans and kind of how

that plays off against each other So the blind

editions in week one they That's one of the things

I love about this show of American Idol American

Idol since year one has always like their early

Rounds or what? I don't even know what they call

their their qualifying rounds or tryout rounds

or We can auditions and this and that the other

Whatever the hell idol calls them. I don't know.

I don't care ever since year one of idol It's

been nothing but bad contestant after bad contestant

after back into like they would have a whole

show of people that they would just say no to

and what I love about the voices is that they

focus on the people that Might get a team or

people that actually can sing versus ones that

can't in in night one you had Janessa Miranda

who's saying titanium no no yeah no Nicole Serrano

who's saying Katy Perry's ET and this is another

thing that I'm gonna be bitching about throughout

these episodes that you and I do what is it between

Katy Perry Adele Taylor Swift uh... all these

uh... okay i get that i get that they're the

popular artists of today but it's like oh my

god uh... james chalet who's saying uh... not

over you by gavin agraw you know there was six

different people in in night one of week one

of the blinds that did not make it and uh...

you know one of the things that i like about

when they show that is that Hey, we might see

one of those people next year that kind of improved

that you know We'll get to that here in a bit

with with one of the cadets that actually made

it through this year On night one or week one

the first two nights what like who were your

favorites from from night one? Well, I mean night

one there was probably two or three people that

really kind of stood out for me One was the one

that I missed. I actually sent you a message

or commented on one of your posts. Was Danielle,

or yeah, Danielle Bradberry. I thought she was

phenomenal as a little country girl there. Kind

of blew me away as the only one that really caught

my attention as this is possibly someone who

I could see winning on night one. The other ones,

Did like you know Judith Hill had a kind of a

cool story and she had a cool vibe to her I was

impressed with how well the Morgan twin sounded

together Their voices went really well together

and the other one that probably really Sucked

out to me was Chris Thomas just because He had

such a range that he was one of the ones that

they almost thought was probably a female at

first Um, he had that real high pitched, um,

and he sang, uh, saving all my love for you from

Whitney Houston. He stood out from me. Um, other

ones, um, you know, I was entertained by them,

by Midas whale. I was, I don't know if I'd be

a big fan of theirs, but I was entertained by

them. Um, Sarah Simmons version of one of us

was, was decent. Um, I thought Tanya Reynolds

was just true country. I like that about her

and then I thought it was interesting that we

got our first taste of the Shakira influence

with one of what would be three kind of like

Latin infused talents Katya I mean I'm not saying

I'm a huge fan of hers but I thought oh this

is what we're gonna get now that Shakira's here

we're gonna have a few more of these people who

are you know seeing an opportunity Let's see,

Josiah Holly, or however you say his name, doing

Maroon 5, I thought that was Brave and I thought

he pulled it off. I thought he did damn good

with that song and I could have sworn he was

gonna pick Adam. But yeah, the one for that first

week that really stuck out for me was Daniel

Bradbury. I've got several that really stuck

out to me. The whole thing with the Morgan twins,

they're... It's a little freaky. I know identical

twin siblings have this super special bond, but

I've never seen twins behave the way that they

do. They were constantly holding each other's

hands. I'm not trying to sound wrong and over

sexualized or anything else, but I'm sorry. The

whole time I was thinking, oh, twin incest, nice.

This just what popped into my brain, but I like

how they sing together I like how their their

singular voices almost become one. I think that's

a really unique thing about them Judith Hill

I liked her for the fact that she put a completely

different spin on a Christina song I thought

that was interesting just kind of like Tony did

in season two with the Britney Spears song Other

ones that I like that stuck out to me. I liked

Jess Kellner. I thought she sounded really good.

I Don't know if I'm I might like might as well

When they sing different songs, but as characters,

I can't stand them. Yeah, they're just too much

of oh, hey, let's party. Let's yeah, let's I

did like Sarah Simmons, I thought that was a

really, really good rendition of that song. As

you said, Tonya Reynolds. Katya, she starts singing

in frickin' English, maybe. And Josiah, I mean,

I liked pretty much everybody from week one,

with the exception of a couple. Like, Chris Thomas,

he was okay. Vito, Vito needs to... he needs

to go in the battles like just eliminate don't

nobody steal that kid I do oh and the other reason

why I didn't like him like he has an amazing

backstory but I don't like him because I'm sorry,

anyone that sings a Beaver song is not gonna

get my vote right away. I have to, like, if he

sings, like, in the battle rounds, if he makes

it past the battles and he sings other stuff,

I might get to liking him, but I just... makes

my skin crawl. Alright, so on week two, week

two is very interesting. We had a few more of

the Ones that weren't picked honestly out of

these I don't The only one I really thought was

any good was Julie Roberts who's saying God gave

me you But other than that I don't remember half

of them really yeah Like I don't remember half

the ones that weren't I'm saying the ones that

weren't picked. Oh, okay. I don't remember any

of them Yeah, the ones that didn't get a team.

Gotcha. What are your favorites from week two?

Just going down the list from week two. I couldn't

stand Karina Iglesias. Was not a big fan of hers.

I thought Warren Stone had a cool country vibe

to him. The Swan Brothers. They were okay. I

just can't see them going very far, but but they

did have a good decent sound I thought Holly

Tucker was really good to make you feel my love

She had a powerful voice Garrett Gardner the

comeback kid Yeah, he came back he picked a good

he probably picked a perfect song for himself

He really did himself a favor by picking that

song. That's probably why he got picked. I I

can't see him going very far, but You know, that's

a good story. Our second of the Latin fusion

here with Monika Boddy. I thought she was maybe

the best of the three, but I kind of go back

and forth between her and the one that we'll

see in, I believe, week three. Huge fan of Taylor

Beckham. I thought she was just very sweet, innocent,

pure, but then had a great rendition of I'm Going

Down. So I like that. Michelle Shamwell. was

freaking adorable and unique and crazy and passionate

and she had a soft side and just the rocker side

but she just looks like someone from Big Bang

Theory or something. She did an amazing job with

I Kissed a Girl so that stood out for me. Patrick

Dodd was another country singer that I thought

has a lot of potential. I'll talk more about

him a little bit later. Savannah Berry, cute

little girl with a huge voice. There's quite

a few of them though, so I don't know how they'll

stack up against each other. There's a lot of

those younger, smaller girls that have some decent

voices. So we'll see how that goes. Brennan Rush,

decent sound. Again, I think he's kind of like

Garrett Gardner. He picked the right song. I

don't know how many other songs they could do

well, but we will wait and see. And Audrey Karash

with Price Tag stood out for me a little bit.

That was awesome. And Orlando Dixon can go home.

I think him and Vito are basically the same person

and talk more about that later. Yeah. For me,

I don't know. I find it interesting that Blake

has two duos this year. Yeah, that is kind of

crazy. That has never happened before in the

four -year history Karina Iglesias, I don't mind

her singing voice but again, it's one of those

things where I just don't like I thought she

really belted the the Melissa Ether song out

of the park, but I Don't really care for her

her speaking voice Or in stone it's gonna be

interesting to see what Adam does with them it's

gonna be interesting to see if In the in the

in the in the battles if Blake steals him I bet

you that's what's I bet you that's the angle

that they're gonna go for every country artist

of Adams that doesn't Get saved Blake'll steal

them As far as the Swan brothers, I like them

better than might as well, you know, they They

sound a lot better. They had that fun -loving

personality that Midas Whale does, but they're

not obnoxious with it. But again, this competition

has never really so far been made for duos. Holly

Tucker, I absolutely love that. I thought that

was great. And I'm so glad Garrett came back.

I was like, last year in season three, I was

like, come on, somebody push a button, damn it.

And I'm so glad he came back. And yeah, you're

right. Seven Nation Army was the perfect choice

for him to be able to land a team. And I absolutely

love it. What I find really funny about some

of the comebacks, at least with the new coaches,

Shakira said, oh, I saw you last year and I would

have pushed my button then. And that had to have

been scripted. Oh, seriously. I know a lot of

musicians pay attention to the music world and

all these musical competitions and stuff, but

you're seriously telling me that she caught,

whether she watched it live or whether she saw

it on The Voice's YouTube channel, she caught

his performance and that had to be a scripted

line. Yeah, it's hard to say on some of those.

It's hard to know what you can believe and what

you can't believe. Monique, I like her as well.

It's going to be interesting to see what else

she does sing. Taylor, same thing. For me, it's

all about the song. It depends on what song it

is. It has nothing to do with, oh, I think their

personality is shit. It has nothing to do with

that. Because the whole point is you have to,

just like the judges do, you have to judge by

the voice and their talent. And I like her and

I want to see what else she can do. um with michelle

chamuel that was a really really interesting

take on like she belted that out of the park

and the funny thing is is it always surprises

me with with singers like where they come from

Compared to how they sing because she is from

Boston and she has this really really thick pocket

car and have a yard and I can do it because I'm

originally from Boston but she has this really

really thick Boston accent, but yet she sings

like She is just she has no accent whatsoever.

Mm -hmm and then the second part of of week two

Patrick Dodd for me It's between him and I think

I'm trying to think who Between him and one other

that I think could be the Terry McDermott of

this season Yeah, it depends on what he sings.

I know Patrick is not a a full -on rocker but

he has that rock kind of mentality like rock

country kind of mentality and That's probably

the best performance of walking to Memphis. I've

heard since since Mark Collins version of it

so I like him and Gina or Ijana whatever the

hell her stupid name is I don't care Trevor Davis

I liked him he was cool I don't know how far

he's gonna get though yeah because he almost

sounded just like Andy Grammer singing that song

Savannah Barry again, I agree with you. There

way too many young people in this in in it this

year Brandon Roush, I liked it. I thought it

was cool. It's a you know Again, it could be

He might get past one or two battle rounds, but

I don't know if he's gonna get to the knockouts

See Perkins didn't really I don't know it was

all right And then like you said Audrey she was

great. She was and that song I Know why she chose

that song because of of her story and how you

know how she came to be on the voice And I understand

that and I think that's great. I like it when

they do that. I like how they choose the songs

that fit their situations just Hey I'm some guy

who wants to impress usher, so I'm gonna sing

boyfriend for him Yeah, and I and I agree with

you Orlando Dixon just needs to go home Glad

we're in agreement on that one. Yeah All right

week three Same thing. This is the final week

Same thing here. I did all the ones that didn't

did not make a team I just didn't care. One of

the ones that really pissed me off was Matt Kramansky

or Tremansky or whatever the stupid hell his

name is. He sang Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.

There are certain songs that a female sings.

Right. There are certain songs that a female

singer is saying like, you know, a Katy Perry

song or, you know, an Adele song or whatever.

There are certain songs that are from female

artists that male artists can go ahead and cover

and it would sound great. This was not that at

all and I was like, oh God, please somebody make

it stop. What did you think of the final week?

You know, there were some good ones that stood

out. I thought Sasha Allen had some potential

there. um with not ready to make nice from the

dixie chicks i thought it was a cool version

of a country song um so i like that i thought

caroline glazer was amazing with tiny dancer

again another one of those younger smaller little

girls that just kind of is unassuming and you

know sweet and innocent so we'll see what happens

with them um grace ask you i wanted to like her

but she she did too many weird things with her

voice for me um Some of it's natural but some

of it was forced so I just couldn't quite make

a determination on her I thought Shana P had

the experience and you know that veteran aspect

to her and I thought she could go far Just because

she has a good stage presence and knows how to

control her own voice and whatnot Mary Miranda

again the third of the Latin infused girls there.

It's between her and The redhead for which one

I like the best I think Katya, unfortunately,

can't compete with those two. Jeff Lewis, I thought

was fantastic. Between him and Josiah, it's real

tough, one doing the Maroon 5 and one doing the

Usher song. But they both had really cool takes

on it, so I like that. I thought Ryan Innes,

however you said it, I keep saying Scott Innes

from Scooby -Doo. His version of Gravity was

better than John Mayer's. John Mayer sucks. So

it was a good choice of song there. But he was

instantly recognizable and good, so I liked him.

Amber Carrington. I wanted to like her more than

I did. She did good. There's something about

her that doesn't set well with me, but I don't

know what it is. It just doesn't quite click.

But I'm not saying she has a bad voice. Jackie

Sandel had a great voice. look at your honor

ed edgeman however you say his name he was decent

but he can't compete with some of the other guys

in that genre that are in the competition i think

no not at all and that's good so this is just

a qt uh... i don't know what to expect from her

she can either go really far or she'll get annihilated

and eaten up and spit out but she definitely

has potential thought it was interesting that

she did a bruno mars song too yeah i'm surprised

you didn't see anything about the sheriff i'm

a huge country fan and i'm not a fan of his okay

well i liked him i thought it was good but again

it's one of those things where these are blind

auditions they only get to sing one song for

ninety seconds so we have to and that's one of

the reasons that's one of the reasons why i almost

don't like part of the process for the voice

i get it i i like the show overall but you know

you take last year with uh... two steel girls

they got one song They get well they got two

songs, but because they got eliminated in the

battles That that song their version of that

song never came out So it was like yeah sure

I can go listen to their their original stuff

and like them for that But how am I supposed

to know on a TV? You know competition whether

I'm gonna like him or not if I've only heard

one song over and over again, so Michael Austin

I liked it. I thought it was interesting like

you said with Sasha Allen that was very unique

way to to bring in soul into a country song I

liked Amy Whitcomb I think she's again again

it's one of those things where you have to wait

and see but yeah I'm not judging any of the ones

that we couldn't see the full performance yeah

well some of these I did go back and listen the

previews on iTunes so I agree with you, Caroline

Glaser, she did an amazing job with Tiny Dancer.

Justin Rivers, no. Grace, I liked it, I thought

it was interesting, but like you said, she did

a few too many weird things with her voice, and

it's gonna depend on what other song she's gonna

sing. Sean P. just knocked it out of the park.

I can see her singing a Melissa Etheridge tune

the way her voice is. Mary Miranda, are we sure

she's not American because she has two American

names? But anyway, that's one of the ones where

it's only because I it's only because I saw the

Jennifer Lopez Selena film that I even know that

song. So it doesn't even matter that it's not

in English. I still knew it from when Jennifer

Lopez sang it as Selena. She's cute. She could

go a little bit. I don't think that... I think

like you said, it's going to come down between

her and Monique. Katya has no chance. No. No

chance at all. Hell will freeze over before that

happens. Jeff Lewis, again. There have been people

in the past on The Voice that have sung coaches

songs or artists that they know songs and some

people do well and some people don't. He's one

of the ones that pretty much knocked it out of

the park and what I love about watching this

show when someone sings one of the coaches songs

they just all of a sudden perk up and it's like

Hmm, and you can see that with us you're doing

that with him. He's like hmm. Hmm. I don't know,

you know, right? I thought that was great Ryan

in us. I liked him. I thought his performance

of gravity was absolutely amazing Emmer Carrington

and good girl it to me It depends on on who's

singing good girl Like, the first time I heard

that was last year with Adriana Louise. And partially

the reason why I love it now is because of what

she did at the end of that performance to Adam.

But Amber did a good job. You know, it's one

of those things where I can't place if there's

something that just isn't quite right about her

vocals but... Do I did like what I hear I didn't

hear any mistakes in it And then Jackie Jackie

was great like I did this is what I like I like

that people come on and pick songs that aren't

today's You know most popular You know dumbass

music songs. Yeah And then you get Luke Edgman

no, thanks don't care And then Jessica Childers,

she was amazing too. She was great. What did

you think of, we didn't talk about this in the

beginning, but night one, week one, when the

show came back, what did you think of the coach's

performance of Come Together? Oh, that was good.

Yeah, I thought that was awesome. I love when

they do, I wish they would do that like... Once

per round like yeah, that'd be cool editions

episode one is the first episode of the new season

Do it before the battles do it like like I know

that once we get to live performances. I'm sure

Blake will be sick because Blake just had a new

album come out. I'm sure That he'll be singing

some of his songs or whatever else, but I wish

that they would do those You know covers with

the coaches a little bit more. Yeah To intro

the shows. I agree and the more stuff they do

like that. Those are always fun. So Overall out

of all three weeks of the blind auditions. What's

your overall impression of this year's? Just

the whole process of the blinds this year. Um,

I liked it I kind of missed see I I think they've

missed opportunities, which they never do They

did it a little bit in the first season and then

a little bit less in season two, but where they

Literally, I wish they would do it where occasionally

maybe like every two or three times an episode

Where all you got to see was the coaches? And

you didn't ever get to see the person And you

literally got to sit like you were as a coach

without seeing the person you don't get to hear

their backstory or if you do hear their backstory,

they don't actually show the person and they

just say their backstory and then they walk out,

you have no idea what they look like, they sing

and all you get to do is see from the coach's

perspective. They used to try to do it, but they

never quite did it right and now they completely

abandon it this year. But I think that would

just be cool for everyone to see it through the

eyes of the coaches without actually getting

to see the person. So then when they turn around,

it's just as much of a surprise for you as it

is at the coach. Yeah, I wish they would do that

but other than that You know, I'd like to hear

a few more of the people that don't make it Just

because it seems I know they they have so many

people that make it So they can really only they

didn't even get to show us all of those people

So they've kind of skip over the ones that don't

make it But I could easily deal with just a whole

nother week of programming where they could squeeze

in a few more Of the people that don't get picked

and all the people that do get picked Yeah, and

you you gotta think even with commercials Even

with commercials and and this and what's funny

about season four is they did they changed everything

this year They season three season three was

on the like almost right on the heels of season

two season three basically broke the mold because

season three was BAM three hour Monday night

two hour Tuesday night one hour Wednesday. It

was like it was like five hours of programming

that week or six hours actually and Then because

what happened was last year they had 16 members

per team So they had a total of 64 team members

You know whoever made a team last year this year.

They cut it back to 12 per team and I don't Don't

like that because it goes to the whole thing

of what you just said you get to see more talent

Well, you don't get to do that this year because

they cut the team number down from 16 to 12 now

I Don't know. All right, let's break down the

teams themselves team Adam Who don't you like

from team Adam? Um, let me look it up real quick

here get the image going The people from team

Adam that I don't really care too much for well,

there's a couple people that we didn't get to

see on that team Gina Alvarez, I don't remember

her enough. I know we didn't get to see Duncan

Kamikana But I did not from the little clip that

I saw care for him too much I don't like Karina

Iglesias I don't see Midas will go in that far

I didn't get to see Amy Whitcomb, but she looked

like she had some potential So I mean out of

that team the ones that I like the most probably

I mean Patrick Dodd and Warren Stone are good

I think Sarah Simmons and Sasha Allen have potential

Judith Hill had potential and like I said, I'm

kind of undecided on Amber Carrington I do won't

think that he has the weakest team in the whole

group Um, yeah for me, I'm pretty much on board

with you. I pretty much like everybody that that

you mentioned and Because I did go back and I

listened on iTunes to Amy's version of the song

that she sung and that's that's one of the things

listeners if you go on to iTunes like five hours

before the broadcast You can actually listen

to like is obviously it's as I said before all

of these performances and battles and whatever

else there, at least with the blinds, they're

taped. So they're already done. And I've gone

on to iTunes on a Monday afternoon before the

show and like, oh, the new songs are up, yay.

But in Amy's case, I had to go back because I

didn't want to just do... Just write up the blog

and just say oh, yeah, she got kind of short

-changed I didn't want to do that I wanted to

go back and I want to listen the song and I didn't

I like her Gina she's not gonna last Might as

well again. This is not a competition for duos

and they're probably the worst duo out of all

three duos this year Patrick Dodd he's he's gonna

go pretty far Depending on at least I hope he

does depending on what What they have him saying

and who they have him facing in the battles All

right, so what about team Blake On team Blake

he has an interesting team like he said before

with the amount of country and then he always

seems to find You know the the younger female

talent to be a part of his squad So it's definitely

an interesting mixture. As far as people that

I didn't care for on his team, excuse me. I don't

know if there's anyone I really, let me think

here for a second. There was no one that I hated

on his team. Like I said, Grace asked you kind

of rubbed me the wrong way. Just a little bit

because I thought she forced some things Who

was the other kid there we did we not get to

see I'm trying to remember what Christian Porter

did Christian Porter did sexy and I know that

was okay But I think he gets overshadowed by

a couple of the other guys that came later We

didn't get to see Justin Rivers is who Justin

and Michelle Raitson or whatever her name is

and Trevor Davis. So there's three people on

his team that we didn't even get to see. So that's

kind of hard. I thought Jackie Sandel had some

potential. I thought Holly Tucker had a real

strong voice. He has the two duos with Morgan

Twins and the Swan Brothers, so it'll be interesting

to see where they go with that. But to me, the

highlight of his team is the three young girls

there. Caroline Glazer, Daniel Bradbury, and

Savannah Barry. It'll be interesting to see what

happens with the three of them. Yeah, for me

on Blake's team, it's... I like the two duos,

but again, it's... It's tough. I mean, the duos

that they had last year didn't last very long.

My one complaint about Blake so far since I've

been watching him on The Voices... He's a country

artist who whittles his country team down to

the point where he has no country artists left.

like you need to have the last two last year

okay and i know what i was really trying to talk

about season four but to the last year he had

grace here uh... grisha harrison and two still

girls and who else uh... there's one or two other

ones and slight he picked grisha over them all

it was davis that that was a look at her this

year uh... you know was made it to the top twenty

and that's all in good but it's like Know these

coaches want to win, but it would be nice if

they won with an artist of their own genre You

know yeah, if they try to mold that and I'm not

saying to play favorites I'm saying like try

to mold that that genre as far as that goes Blake's

team I pretty much like everybody there's a like

you said there's three on there that we didn't

really see more of Even though I did go back

and listen to songs Justin Rivers No it wasn't

as again it's it goes to song choice and i know

certain things happen where you know someone

may pick a song for you and you're like yeah

i don't know that song that actually happened

and i think it was season two or season three

i don't know anyway all right moving on to shakira's

team this team is is interesting yeah this team

to me you got you got a wide range of genres

here um You got the country with Shawna P and

Tanya Reynolds. I think both of them are very

strong country singers. You have the three, the

triple Latin threat there with Katia, Mary, Miranda

and Monique. I think it's down to Monique and

Mary as far as which one is the best. Um, you

know, Mark Andrew is going to overshadow Luke

Edgemont, I think a little bit. Uh, you got Brandon

Roshan, Gear Gardner, which are kind of the same

vibe. And then you've got, uh, C. Perkins, Jason

and Chris Thomas as far as R and B. And I think

Chris Thomas will dominate those other two. I

don't know. I don't know if you have a winner

here I can't picture any of these people winning

Yeah, but that's not saying that's a bad team.

I Could picture Sean or Tonya winning depending

on the songs and depending on who they face I

just can't see them when it gets down to the

top of the top. Maybe Sean if she gets a real

fan following I think it's a good team. I think

a lot of these people have talent, but I just

don't see a winner here Like I can with Blake's

team As much, I don't know. Yeah, I'm the same

way. Like, I want to see as much as I can from

Garrett, because I think he does have a really,

really cool voice. And the rest of her team looks

great. There's like, you know, Chris Thomas,

it's going to depend on what he sings for me,

but I don't dislike him. The other two, I don't

care for at all. Jason and whoever. Yeah, I agree.

Perkins. And what is up with these people? Okay,

sure. I get nicknames. I have a nickname. You

have a nickname. But like, why would you just

use your first initial and your last name if

that's even your last name? You got a birth certificate

that was stated in Ohio? Oh, sorry. Wrong. Wrong

thing. Moving on to Usher's team, what are your

opinions? Usher did a great job, actually. I

think, again, he's got a lot of variety, and

he's got a lot of really good people. He has

definitely some people in here that I can see

winning. You know, we didn't get to see Chelsea

M, but the clip that I did get to see, I liked.

So I'm still kind of hopeful for her. He also

has... Jamila Thompson, which we didn't get to

see. So those two are kind of unknowns. I like

Outer Crash. Jessica Childress, I already said

I like her voice. She's kind of unassuming Taylor

Beckham is one of my favorites. Michelle Shamwell

is so unique Josiah Holly and Jeff Lewis, I thought

he got the two best as far as that type of singer

goes That we saw Ryan Inns has a lot of potential

I don't think Orlando Dixon and Vito are that

strong, but maybe they'll surprise us. The only

really person I can't stand out of this group

is Jess Kellner. Why didn't you like her? I just

didn't like it as much. For me, it was kind of

the similar reasons as to why I didn't like Grace

Askew. Something just didn't quite feel right

to me. I'm not saying she's not talented, she

has a good voice and whatnot. It was just a weird

voice in the Elvis song. It just didn't work

for me. But I don't think there's very many weak

links in this team. This is one of the stronger

teams. Yeah. What do you think I think usher

has built a really unique team I don't see Vito

or Orlando moving past very for very far at all

Just They just don't have it Jess might be able

to as long as she you know as long as usher picks

songs for her that that match her voice. Like

you were saying, even though I liked her performance,

the Elvis song didn't really... The song in general,

and not necessarily her performing it, just doesn't

really, like... Do anything for you? Yeah, it

doesn't really do anything for me at all. The

rest of his team is pretty well put together.

I'm really interested to see what else Audrey

does, and we'll see. you know step see so something

new i did this year with my my reviewing her

blogging of of the voice season four is i'd is

i'd decided to make my own damn team of twelve

five is a kind of them you know her teams are

going to see how we do and we're gonna battle

it out uh... we have not seen each other well

i just did i just saw your team but and okay

but Have not seen Kevin's team will pretend he

has not seen mine Because I did as we're recording

this the post for my for the for my reviewing

the teams just went up so We each picked teams

of 12 following what the show does Who is your

first team member that you pushed a button for?

I'm gonna go from I kind of have them ranked

Okay, so I'm gonna go for my from my worst one

first here This is a tough one because it's it's

really down to two people here that I'm real

close to Deciding Who I would like out of it

I'm gonna go with Monique Abadi for my first

one I had to pick one of the Latin girls and

she Barely sneaks past Mary Miranda, so I pushed

a button for Monique My first button push was

for the Morgan twins. They just have such a unique

voice and if they keep dressing in that skimpy

clothing, well, that makes for good television.

But no, seriously, I think that, as I said before,

with their being identical twins and having that

twin connection, and I swear, there were times

in that song that they sang That their voices

sounded as like it was a singular voice. It was

these like you've seen and you've heard duets

before usually tell who is who like, you know,

you can usually tell who is who like for me the

biggest thing is if if Darrell Hall and John

Oates are doing a duet on anything or if they're

you know collaborating on anything like they

used to do in the old days I always know which

voice is which. With the Morgan twins, there

were times in that performance I couldn't tell.

Yeah, I agree. At all. And so they were the first

one I pushed my button for. What about you? What's

your next team member? My second button push

came from Ryan Inns with his Gravity. I kind

of love the big bearded guy. He just had a nice

presence and I thought he did a good job with

that song. And I think there was no one else

quite like him that I saw on any team. So he

kind of has that type of genre music kind of

cornered. So if people like that type, he's going

to go far. I don't think that he has a lot of

competition with that exact style. Yeah, I agree.

For my second choice, I did pick Michael Austin.

I thought that... thought he has a good country

twang to his voice I thought that like he almost

I know this might be blasphemy to some country

fans but to me he almost had that same sound

that Brooks and Dunhead when they first came

out like that's what I thought of immediately

when he first started singing I like him he's

cool I do I think he's gonna go very far I Don't

know. I'm not sure again. It depends on If they

are going to be able to you know Kind of coach

the country artists a little bit more than they

have in the past number three for you Again I

had two guys that were neck -and -neck that I

can't couldn't decide which way to go So I kind

of had him tied but now seeing your team To avoid

The overlap I'm gonna let you have the one and

I'll go with the other one And I'm gonna go with

Warren Stone He's saying colder weather. He's

a country guy He was really good. And honestly,

I'm so torn between him and Patrick Dodd. I loved

both of them But I will go with Warren Stone

on my team and I will let you have your way with

the other guy I would have picked Warren, but

and I loved his rendition of colder weather But

like he's one of those artists where I don't

know Like I don't know what to expect from him

in the future and it's like, you know It's kind

of like sure. I like this person now But will

I like them when they sing three or four songs

from now if they get that far, right? So my third

button was for who I am deeming the Terry McDermott

of season four, Patrick Dodd. Dude just knocked

it out. Anyone that's been that long in Nashville,

you know, at the grindstone like that for his,

that's the other reason why. He reminds me of

Terry from season three is because he's doing

it for the whole family thing and his daughters

and his wife and all this all that same thing.

Terry had, you know, last year with his wife

and his son. So, um, yeah, Patrick did an amazing

job on walking to Memphis and I'm just hoping

that, that, that Adam will pair him up with someone

that. He can beat We'll talk about that a little

bit later because I have opinions about that

What about your fourth team member my fourth

one? She kind of sneaks in there I had a real

close to a bunch of the other people that I didn't

go with It was Audrey crash the one that sang

price tag Something about her just seemed cool

You know I liked watching the judges singing

along with her and the fact that they she got

them to do that was cool I don't know if she

can go that far, but I wanted to pick her on

my team. Yeah, you know, I, again, I didn't pick,

I picked the ones that I would, you know, want

to be able to, you know, coach and just like,

I'm no musical genius. I mean, hell, I listen

to Nickelback all the time. Everybody hates me

for that. But, you know, I like her. I think

she's going to be interesting. I think it's going

to be funny to find out who the powerhouses are.

out of the single white female singers. And the

same thing with the African American female singers

as well. It's going to be interesting to see

how much diva slash soul is going to come out

of them. For me, number four epic, Sarah Simmons.

I thought she had a good voice. Yeah, she has

a good voice. She's got a great look. The voice

on her, it's like. That was the I think the first

time since that song came out And I actually

wanted to listen to that's like the like I okay

I know I know what Joan Osborne was going for

I'm sorry that song was so played to death in

the 90s that I just got to the point where I

am so sick of this shit But and that's one of

the things I love about the voice is that there

are these you know Whether they because the voice

isn't just about finding new talent and undiscovered.

Well, it is it's Not just about people that no

one's ever heard about before but it's people

that Maybe have been it, you know been at it

for a while But haven't got a professional gig

or whatever, you know, it's not just about finding

new talent It's about finding, you know talent

from every every port in a storm and with her

singing that song it was the first time I had

heard that song that It actually meant something

to me versus just hearing it over and over and

over and over again on the radio 20 years ago

or 15 years ago, whatever, however long. All

right, number five. The little brunette girl

with the big voice, Savannah Barry. I don't know.

I just thought there was potential there. I want

to see more, so I'd be interested in coaching

her and trying to see what you could bring out

of that girl. Yeah. My number five was Garrett

Gardner. I gotta see what other rock songs he's

gonna do. I just think for him it's all about

song choice and as soon as he chooses wrong he's

gonna be exposed. Yeah that's yeah that's gonna

be the problem. You know he does have people

that know him from last year so that might help

him. Yeah that's true, like me. Vote, vote, vote.

What about your six songs? My six and seven were

neck and neck. I was going to decide if I was

originally just going to pick one of them, since

they're somewhat similar, but then I ended up

picking both of them. just because I couldn't

decide between the two of them. The first one

I'll talk about it would be Josiah Hawley, the

guy that did the Adam Levine Maroon 5 song. I

just think he did a good job with that and I

think he's a good looking kid that a lot of people

can get. He has like a nice groove to him and

I think he has a lot of different things that

he could probably sing. So we'll see how he does

there. I'm taking a big chance though because...

I'm taking a chance with some of mine because

I think they're gonna battle each other in the

first round. Yeah, Josiah Holly is my number

six choice. For number six, I pick the Swan Brothers.

You know, I think they're interesting. It's gonna

depend on what they sing, but you know, if they...

It's gonna be interesting to see what they do

and what might as well does as far as duos because

they're both kind of country. And I know Montezuela's

like, oh, we're bluegrass or we're this or we're

that or we're whatever. But I think it's going

to be interesting to see if the Swan Brothers

try to tackle any kind of Brooks and Don or any

kind of major country duo songs. It's going to

be interesting for them. All right, sir. Seven.

What's your seven? Well, like I said, it was

real close between six and seven, and the seventh

one is Jeff Lewis. He sang the Usher song. Again,

I just thought it was a unique take on it. I

thought it was creative. I thought it showed

some of his artistry. So it'll be interesting

to see what he does. Like I said, I have a bad

feeling that he and my number six are going to

go against each other in the first round, but

I had to pick them both just so I can have whoever

wins that battle. I didn't want to pick one and

have the loser of the battle. for me number seven

is Jackie Sandell she that song dreams oh my

god and it's it's so nice hearing that song just

from a female perspective yeah as anyone older

than 27 knows Fleetwood Mac is you know mostly

male with Stevie Nicks every now and then, you

know, so it's like, it's so nice hearing that

song with just a female influence versus hearing

it with some male influence in it. And she's

got a damn good voice. Yep. She was on my list

of just missed. I'm glad she picked her. Number

eight? I don't know. We only have one because

I obviously like I said you that you can't see

my list But you just posted yours so I can see

yours and then we do have one that's on both

of our lists Is that allowed or should I pick

somebody else? I don't care Can we both have

one person? Oh, wait, no, we can't know we can

because that's not yeah, you need to pick somebody

else Shoot I don't even know who I would pick

then instead of this person uh... don't knock

him off in the first round that just think we

don't know i have someone that's not on your

list because i had two people this person on

your list and my number thirteen would have been

on your list so i'll go down to my number fourteen

pick uh... which is jessica children's uh...

she to me is like an unknown factor She was so

sweet and nice and bubbly and happy, but I think

there's more to her. And she has a voice that

can kill. So I have no idea what's going to happen

with her, but I think she's got potential. So

I'll pick Jessica Childress. Technically would

have been my last pick, but we'll list her now

with my eighth pick. For me, number eight is

Brandon Rausch. I thought that... Even though

he and Patrick sounds, you know have similar

styles. I think if they were to ever Do like

if the two of them ever got to the knockouts

And it had come it would come down to the two

of them Obviously, I would pick Patrick over

Brandon, but Brandon's song, you know the Beatles

song I thought that was great, you know, I just

thought it was an amazing performance Number

nine number nine would be Chris Porter I know

you weren't a big fan of his. I don't dislike

him. He's no, like, ooh, Vito. No, he's better

than all them. He just fascinates me because

he has this high, high voice. Yeah. With the

right coaching and the right song selection,

nobody can do what he can do. Right. So it's

all up to him whether he captures that or not.

Um, so I just I'm just too intrigued by him not

to pick him He's probably the best r &b guy in

the show though Yeah, your number nine would

have been my number 13 I'm so close to picking

your Shana pay. Yeah she like She, to me, like

I said earlier, if she sang like a Melissa Etheridge

song or if she sings more of the Southern rock

songs, she's going to take this competition by

storm. She's got the experience and the presence.

Yeah, she does. And she knows like, you know,

like last year, they were always telling people

about, oh, you have to be mindful of your stage

presence and you have to, you know, make sure

you don't tip the microphone stand over and stuff

like that. She doesn't need any of that kind

of instruction because she's been doing it so

long, right? No, that's definitely true Number

ten. All right. My number ten is Caroline Glaser

the one that sang Tiny Dancer She just for me

was awesome So I can't wait to see what happens

with her she just kind of had that Like she's

the type of person to me that could almost sing

like an unplugged type song You know without

much of the band behind her without much music

or anything and and just can capture you with

that voice So I'm interested to see what happens

with her. She's probably my third favorite person

on this whole show Alright for me number 10 is

Tonya Reynolds Yeah, she to me was one of my

favorite country people that I didn't pick Between

her and Shana P. They're so close and I couldn't

decide neither one of them made my team, but

I like them both a lot. Yeah, she's It's gonna

be interesting to see what what she does. It's

gonna be It's so did like between last year and

this year. It's so different because I don't

know and I know The reason why, for me, it's

so different is because of the reduction in the

teams. Like, blind auditions last year weren't

three weeks. They were six weeks, or they were

five weeks, or they were obviously longer. So

last year, I got to the point where I like four

members on each team, or I like five members

from this team, five members. You know what I

mean? I got to be able to pick more and whittle

out more. This year, they're cutting it so very

close. And it's going to depend on, again, it's

I know we keep saying this, but it's just going

to depend on what they give each artist. And

her strength obviously is in the country tunes.

And it's going to be interesting to see who she's

going to go up against. No, I agree. And if she

gets stolen, that's the other thing. We're not

really factoring into our list. I want to steal

a couple from you. Wrong number 11 another one.

I'm like I'm like Blake. I'm picking all these

young girls here Taylor Beckham her rendition

of I'm going down and The presence she had for

such a young girl and really having no experience

much doing this I think the you know, the sky's

the limit for her. So Taylor Beckham would be

my second to last choice here Yeah, I almost

thought that dumb Some old dude was gonna come

out kicking a soccer ball on stage. Yeah. Oh

my Number 11 is Michelle Chamuel First of all,

she's from Boston. So there's that but like we

said before she did a kick -ass version of I

kissed a girl and it goes to show you that other

people singing famous songs Sometimes is so much

better because like I don't I don't think I have

ever listened to any of Katie's stuff at all

like outside of other people on the voice doing

it I have not heard any of her her songs like

I've heard them in past like but I haven't like

Downloaded any Katy Perry. I just don't Yeah,

she would be the one that would be on my team

if she was nine years Yeah, I had her on my team

for sure. She's the only one that we do. We both

had So I forfeited her so that we would not have

any duplicates So if she wins, I had her on my

team, too My number one pick By far the one that

blew me away more than anybody on the show so

far would be Danielle Bradbury I think she's

got a phenomenal potential as a country young

country star Again, I could be wrong. We'll see

what happens in these next rounds, but she just

blew me away out of all the blind auditions She

was the one that stood out the most as this girl

can win but you know, I think she's in the same

class with Taylor Beckham Caroline Glazer and

Savannah Barry and We'll see you out of the four

of them which ones step up to the plate the most

out of those young girls Yeah For me number 12

was Amy Whitcomb as I said, I did go back on

iTunes and listener the the the song that she

had song But again, it's one of those things

where like I said before it's like I know they

only have a certain amount of time But don't

just cuz cuz I as a as a watcher of the voice

I feel cheated when I see a highlight reel of

people that made teams. If you want to do a highlight

reel, take every single person that wasn't going

to make a team, even the full performances that

we saw that didn't make a team, and just do those

as highlights. That way the others that do make

the teams, you know, we can actually see and

judge them. Yeah. Really interesting to see what

Amy does after that. I think we're going to take

a quick break. You're going to hear a couple

of ads and we'll come back with other voice season

four blind edition stuff. We'll be back after

this. Coming to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September

So we are back and we're going to give our own

little preview of the battles and kind of talk

about... I didn't mean to cut you off, but before

we do that, I meant to say this before, but I

think, you know, combined with our two teams,

we have the best of the best for most of them.

The only ones that I would say we might... be

looking to steal later on. In my opinion, the

best ones that we didn't pick on either one of

our teams would be Holly Tucker, who did a cool

version of To Make You Feel My Love, Judith Hill,

the Michael Jackson experience girl, and Sasha

Allen, the black girl that did the country version

of the song. And then out of the ones we didn't

see, I think Chelsea M could be a sleeper. So

those were kind of like the four that May be

wishing we had our teams But I go ahead So here

we're going to give you our Thoughts and kind

of who we would want to see matched up coming

up in the battles. Yes Starting with team Adam.

Well, hold on one second because this episode

is actually going to air the night the battles

start We'll see if any of these are right predictions.

Yeah, so we'll have to see about that after the

battles are done. All right, starting with team

Adam, who do you want to see go against each

other? I mean, I wanted them both on my team.

And I think it's going to be a shame that they're

going to have to go against each other because

obviously one will get eliminated. But I really

see Patrick Dodd and Warren Stone going against

each other. I hope I'm wrong because I want them

both to go on to the next round. But I just really

think that they are the same type of singer that

they can go against each other now obviously

you have the other country singers and Michael

Austin you have Midas Whale and Duncan Kamakana

so they could go against one of those maybe but

I really just have a feeling it's gonna be Patrick

Dodd against Warren Stone and I'm gonna regret

that as far as the girls go I think Judith Hill

versus Sasha Allen is an obvious one Sasha winning,

but I don't know. We'll see maybe I'll be wrong

on that The other ones, I'm not sure how they'll

match up. I'm not sure what he'll do with the

other ones. But, uh, you know, we should be interested

to see. But my biggest prediction there is Patrick

Dodd against Warren Stone, unfortunately. See,

I would have, like, if it was me choosing the

battles, I wouldn't have Warren go against, uh,

Injina or Injina, whatever the hell her name

is, and just get rid of her immediately. Well,

if it was me, if I was the one doing it, I would

make Warren go against, um, Michael Austin No,

I'm serious I would do that just because to see

which one is And then I would let Patrick Dodd

go against like Duncan comic -con because I think

that's an easy Or I would have Warren Stone go

against Duncan so that that way you're still

left with Patrick and Warren if you want them

You know, I don't know who might as well goes

against I don't don't really understand how they

would go against anybody on that list, but If

they're gonna go against anybody, I bet he's

gonna pit them against Austin yeah, I could see

that with probably Austin winning because I'm

sorry might as well first of all The name is

just so stupid Yeah, the girls there are interchangeable

though. I can see any of those girls going against

any of those other girls Yeah, I just for some

reason have a feeling it might be Judith Hill

against Sasha Allen. Yeah All right moving on

to team Blake and do you have the Swan brothers

go against the Morgan twins? That would be very

fun Cool. The duo against the duo. That would

be really cool. I agree. Now there's three people

we didn't see, so I have no idea really what

kind of vibe you get from Trevor Davis, Justin

Rivers, and Michelle. But you do have the young

girls here. You got Caroline Glazer, Daniel Bradbury,

and Savannah Berry. I really hope, I know two

of them are gonna go against each other, and

I really wish they wouldn't. I think Holly Tucker

and Grace Askew would be a good battle. Oh, yeah,

that would be but I'm really torn on this one

unless you have the two duos go against each

other I'm just hoping that maybe Caroline Glaser

goes against Savannah Berry if possible and then

save Daniel Bradbury against somebody else But

I don't know he's got those three people that

we really haven't seen but I think he can really

screw himself in this first round if he picks

his best people to go against each other in the

first round which is often a mistake by the voice

coaches because they look at it and they say

who's the closest to each other or who's singing

the same genre or stuff like that and they put

them against each other and then they lose one

of their better people instead of having their

strong people go against their weak people which

is probably how I would do it yeah it's tough

to say this one I don't really have too many

predictions I have a lot of predictions again

on our next group but not so much like I don't

know what he's gonna do With Blake, I think it

would be really cool to see the two duos go against

each other. Although I Think the Morgan twins

might win out on that Again, it's gonna come

down to song selection. She doesn't that then

the Morgan twins would I would think would have

to go against either grace or Holly Oh, yeah,

most definitely grace versus Holly. That would

be an amazing. Yeah interesting thing cuz cuz

they're there too cuz Again, their two styles

are so like so like Holly is kind of like Tanya

Tucker style and grace is more like a raspy Shania

and It's gonna be interesting to see what yeah,

but I mean Blake might Depending on what what

his battle choices are He might be screwing himself

out of the win this year. Yeah, if he has Glazer

and Bradbury go against each other in the first

round, that is a mistake. Yes. All right. Moving

on to team I can't talk in English. Oh, I'm sorry.

Team Shakira. To me, this one, there are some

easy matchups that you would be picking here.

I think Brandon Rausch and Garrett Gardner go

against each other in the first round. I just

think that makes sense to me. Obviously you're

gonna to me if she's smart she has two of the

Latin girls go against each other It'd be better

if they could all three go against each other

But I would definitely put Katya against either

Monique or Mary Or I guess you could do Mary

against Monique, but I think that's kind of a

risky thing to do It should be Monique versus

Katya You don't want to have Mary and Monique

go against each other and then have Katya be

somehow go on because she doesn't face one of

the better ones But to me, the most obvious match

up here is Shauna P. against Tonya Reynolds.

Oh, God, yes. I mean, unfortunately, that is

losing one of your better ones. Oh, yes. But

I think it's something you have to do. And the

other one would be Mark Andrew against Luke Edgman.

With Mark winning. Mark winning. And then I would

put Chris Thomas against both C. Perkins and

Jason. Because otherwise, one of the Latin girls

has to go against one of those guys. Yeah. So

but I mean, yeah, I think Shauna P and Tanya

won't I'd put money that that's gonna be a matchup

Yeah, it might be see for me if I was breaking

it down. I wouldn't have them face each other

I wouldn't either but I think that's I wouldn't

at all. I would have Shauna go up against Here's

the thing last year I know I know I keep bringing

up season three, but I have to last year I love

Benji's version of knocking on heaven's door

Mark's version is good. It's That song to me

is a rock song. It's not a slow country type

of Song and that's kind of like he kind of sang

it slower. Here's what I would do and I would

put Shauna against him see that's I would put

Shauna against Mark Yeah, because then you can

save Shauna. I would put Tanya against Luke Yeah,

honestly, I would do that I would still put Brandon

against Garrett just to see which one can rise

to the occasion and that such right now I would

put Monique against Katya. Yeah, and I would

actually put Chris Thomas Against one of the

R &B guys and Mary Miranda against the other

one Yeah, because then they could both win I

don't I didn't see see Perkins and Jason to see

which one would go with which one because I think

that's a smart way to coach because then you

Put your your best six With the best chance of

moving on right? None of the coaches do that

Yeah, sadly, no All right moving on to team usher

got two predictions that I would bet my house

on Orlando Dixon against veto You know which

one can beat the other one because neither one's

gonna be around for long and unfortunately Unfortunately,

unfortunately, I hope I'm wrong here, but Josiah

against Jeff pick them both on my team I think

they both deserve it but I think that he will

throw them against each other and that's gonna

break my heart otherwise I am torn I don't know

what he'll do I mean I guess that you might put

Jamila and Jessica against each other yeah I

don't know who Ryan goes against Ryan would have

to go against unless he goes crazy and puts him

against Michelle I don't think he'll do that

Ryan would Ryan would probably have to go against

Jess with Jess sadly losing But I think that

it's gonna be Here's how I would do it. I would

do Audrey versus Jamila with Jamila losing I

could see else Taylor Yeah, you put Chelsea yeah

Chelsea against Taylor Ryan against veto just

to get rid of that fool Jeff against Orlando

again Jeff's voice would so Outweigh that and

then you get of course the way I'm breaking this

down is you got problems with yeah You know Taylor

against Jessica or Josiah against machine his

team is gonna be the hardest to figure out like

who He will put veto against Orlando. I'm sure

of it Yeah, probably. Yeah. The only one I don't

really have a clue who he'd put against, I don't

know who he would put Michelle against. I have

a feeling it would be Audrey or Jess, but I don't

really know. Yeah. Like I said, it's going to

be interesting nonetheless just to see and I

just, I love watching this show. This show is

like... This is when it gets real interesting

like I love the blinds I love seeing people and

whatnot but it's the battle rounds where you

learn about people and it's about where someone

makes someone else just looks silly or that shine

and this is where you Decide who you like for

sure. Oh, yeah, most definitely battle rounds

are awesome. Yeah, most definitely And like I

said before, I think they're gonna play into

the dynamic of Adam and Blake and whatever country

artist on Adam's team doesn't get saved in the

battle, Blake will steal them. I guarantee you.

You think so? Yeah, I guarantee you that Blake

will steal Warren Stone. Yeah, it'll be interesting

to see because that's that's the other danger

that happens when you put two of your best together

You know if you put Like I said with a couple

of those like if you put a Tonya Reynolds against

Ashana P the loser gets stolen Yeah, if you put

Patrick Dodd against Warren Stone the loser might

get stolen and the same with Jeff Lewis and Josiah

Hawley So I just think it'll be interesting to

see well, you know exactly how they do that Yep

So anything else you want to say about blinds

and teams or anything like that? I'm good All

right. Well That's it for the first the voice

GCR special will be back After the battles and

of course, you can always go over to geekcaster

.com where I will still be doing my blogging

and we'll see which Which battles we predicted

in which members of our team are left? Yeah yes

exactly it's going to be really really interesting

to see if any of our team members like any of

our own predictions match up to with what the

coaches are like are doing so all right so that's
