The Voice Finale - The Result



Congratz!! Never in a million years,I would've thought that someone from Blake Team could be in Top 2,weeks ago.

The Voice Finale - Javier Colon & Stevie Nicks - Landslide



I didn't expect this different arrangement,much slower version of Landslide. Stevie still exudes a haunting persona. Love it!!

The Voice Finale - Dia Frampton & Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me



Urgh,Dia's voice is excruciating in this performance. The song is too low for her voice.

The Voice Finale - Beverly McClellan & Ryan Tedder - Good Life



What a mess!! Ryan Tedder isn't a perfect match for Beverly's voice.

The Voice Finale - Vicci Martinez & Pat Monahan - Drops Of Jupiter



Vicci's voice is growing on me. I like it. LOL at CeeLo,I don't know what he's talking about. He's rambling like Steven Tyler or Paula Abdul.

The Voice - Vicci Martinez & CeeLo Green - Love Is A Battlefield



OMG CeeLo!!! He's so hilarious!! Pretty good performance btw. I love the kids dancing and rocking the song!!

The Voice - Beverly McClellan - Lovesick



Awful song. Underwhelming performance. I expected better from her. Her performance last week was million times better than this.

The Voice - Brad Paisley & Blake Shelton - Don't Drink The Water



Thanks God,there's no country singer on the Top 4. I'm so glad that The Voice voters are different than American Idol voters.

The Voice - Javier Colon & Adam Levine - Man In The Mirror



LOL at Adam struggled to keep up with Javier's vocal.

The Voice - Dia Frampton - Inventing Shadows



Really unique tone,but I got bored by her performance. No hard feeling,Dia!! I'm sure she's gonna dominate on iTunes ranking though!!

The Voice - Katharine McPhee - Smash Sneak Peek



Can't wait for this show!! I love Katharine McPhee!!

The Voice - Beverly McClellan & Christina Aguilera - Beautiful



I'm sure a lot of people will shed a tears watching this beautiful performance.

The Voice - Vicci Martinez - Afraid To Sleep



Really haunting and solid performance. I really like it,she captivated me since the beginning of the performance. Plus,her audition rendition of Rolling In The Deep has been repeated in my mind so many times this past few weeks.

The Voice - Dia Frampton & Blake Shelton - I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers



I really love this performance. It suited both of them. Great job!!

The Voice - Javier Colon - Stitch By Stitch



The instrument in the beginning really sounds like I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys. It almost as if I expected him to say "You are my fire..." for the first sentence. Anyway,a beautifully sung performance by Javier.

The Voice - Xtina,Blake,Adam,CeeLo Perform Under Pressure



They didn't harmonize well in this performance. I didn't know why they picked this song,I prefer Jedward's version than this.

Platinum Hit - Episode 5 - The Elimination



Melissa doesn't have a chance,Jes got into Top 3 Hooks Challenge so many times compared to her.

Platinum Hit - Episode 5 - Busthrowing



Melissa really snapped there and showed an attitude that shocked Kara. LOL this is the most dramatic elimination ever on Platinum Hit.

Platinum Hit - Episode 5 - The Winning Team



Sonyae is really gaining steam in this show.

Platinum Hit - Episode 5 - The Performances



Jes's team performance gives me a goosebumps. I love her voice and style. Nick's song turned out to be pretty catchy.

Platinum Hit - Episode 5 - Love Songs Hooks



Not feeling any of that hooks. Jes is the only one passable for me.

David Archuleta - Pond's Teens Concert Q&A



David looks really sleepy there. LOL was he doing this Q&A in the early morning?? Btw,yippie at least he will perform 13-15 songs or a little bit over 1 hour. LOL I love the way he pronounces Indonesia.

Breanne Duren - No One Else



She's the female singer in Owl City's songs: Saltwater Room and Honey and the Bee (from the latest album). I love her voice. She sounds like Jewel but with synthpop vibe. I can't wait to hear more from her. This video is unique,the song not that good for me personally.

The Voice - Vicci Martinez - Dog Days Are Over by Florence and The Machine



Very refreshing!! Overall tonight was a strong night for almost all of them. Kudos!!

The Voice - Xenia - The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script



The thing with Xenia is,she always performs awkwardly due to her age,but her voice always stands out in the itunes recording. I love her voice,but I don't like watching her perform. Soon,she will get rid of her jitter though.

The Voice - Javier Colon - Fix You by Coldplay



Pretty good!! I'm rather ambivalent regarding the bandzilla rocking the song out!! I prefer the subtle version of this performance in the beginning.

The Voice - Beverly McClellan - The Thrill Is Gone by B.B King



OMG!!! What an outstanding performance!! Another moment for me!! One of the best performance I've seen this year!! Soulful and all that!!

The Voice - Casey Weston - I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton



Is Adam Levine sabotaging Casey?? By giving her a Whitney Houston song!! She gave it her all but I don't know if it's enough for her to sneak through to next week.

The Voice - Dia Frampton - Losing My Religion by R.E.M



Wowwwwww,I'm impressed!! That's what I called "the moment"!! The arrangement is just perfect for her voice.

The Voice - Nakia - Whataya Want From Me by Adam Lambert



He rocks it!! Pretty good performance!! Although he has to watch out from Glambert's attack. Oh hell naw,Adam Levine!! You don't say that Nakia sang it better than Adam Lambert. You don't want to mess with Glambert.

The Voice - Frenchie Davis - Like A Prayer by Madonna



Amazing!! She improves so much from her previous performance.

The Voice - Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera Perform Moves Like Jagger



I like the ooouuuu ouuuu part.

The Voice - Blake Shelton Performs Honey Bee with Xenia and Dia Frampton



Good to know that Xenia is gaining some confidence in that stage. Blake Shelton clearly gets so much advantage by being on this show,his songs are climbing up the chart.

The Voice - Adam Levine's Team Elimination



Javier gonna win this thing for sure. Woah,Adam almost picked Jeff. Thanks God,he didn't. Casey definitely had her song on itunes chart.

The Voice - CeeLo Green's Team Elimination



America picks Vicci. No suprise about that. CeeLo picked the right choice,gay bear FTW!! This show is so progressive,I feel like watching a different era's show compared to American Idol.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - The Elimination



Bye bye Amber!! Jackie must watch her back in next episode.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - Busthrowing and Drama



Ouch at Jackie. I feel bad for her. So much drama in those group.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - The Rap Performances



Sonyae's group is cool. I like Jackie Tohn's group songs,it's unique. It incorporates jazzy sound to it.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - Johnny and Jes Romance



Wow there is showmance on the show. Awww they're so cute.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - Picking The Team



LOL at Johnny won again. He's on the roll. I'm shocked that Jackie Tohn got the 3rd place.

Platinum Hit - Episode 4 - The Rap Hooks



I hate rap!! So many trainwrecks there because they have jazz songwriter,etc. Clearly rap is not in their wheelhouse.

The Voice - Blake Shelton's Team Elimination



America saves Dia Frampton. It's obvious by her iTunes sales. Blake picked Xenia,she's right behind Dia on iTunes chart.

The Voice - Javier Colon - Angel by Sarah McLachlan



Amazing!! Truly amazing!! He should be the winner!!

The Voice - Curtis Grimes - Addicted To Love



Give me Scotty McCreery's performance any day of the week,please!! I can't stand this no more!!

The Voice - Team Adam - A Little Help From My Friends



Forgettable!! Awful!! I can't stand it anymore!! Thanks God for Javier Colon. The part when he sang truly the one shining part in this mess.

The Voice - Jeff Jenkins - Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood



Jesus take the wheel,save me from this horrific performance by this boy. Truly the worst vocal tonight. Urgh,I cringed so hard. I don't know if it's the melisma or what. Not the right song for him. Oh God,pandering again. Shore up those southern votes!!

The Voice - Nakia - Sex on Fire by Kings Of Leon



The gimmick is off. Blahhhhh. I'm bored already.

The Voice - Team CeeLo - Everyday People



WTH was that?? My face is THIS

The Voice - Devon Barley - Stop and Stare by One Republic



Pretty good vocal,but I don't know if it's the right song. I just blanked out when he sang. Nothing special to makes me focus on his performance. Has my standard became too high for a singing show contestants or they've been pretty mediocre so far??

The Voice - Vicci Martinez - Jolene by Dolly Parton



Haunting and solid!! I hope someone blow me away tonight. The Voice's been pretty underwhelming these past few weeks. CeeLo is so subdued tonight.

The Voice - Casey Weston - Black Horse and the Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall



Remind me of Katharine McPhee. She owned that performance for me. This performance is just okay. OMG why's Adam Levine so hot tonight??

The Voice - Tori & Taylor Thompson - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy



CeeLo's expression was like:"Why the heck did I pick these twins??". They're so mediocre. I don't know what to say about them,this performance didn't bring anything new or exciting at all. Someone please enlighten me what's special about this twins?? Even Rebecca Black is way more entertaining.

The Voice - Christina Aguilera's Team Elimination



Holy shit,America saves the bald lesbian!! Who would've thought that! Yay!! Christina saved Frenchie. Yay!! I'm so sorry watching Lily realizing that she's just a cannon fodder after all. Why Christina looks like that girl who always represents Netherland in Miss Universe??

Platinum Hit - Episode 3 - The Elimination



Thanks God,she safe!! Sorry for the black and white video,I don't know why it's black and white.

Platinum Hit - Episode 3 - The Judging and Bus Throwing



Nick's guitar motive really is outstanding. Luckily,despite his douchebag attitude,he got the talent to back it up.

Platinum Hit - Episode 3 - Performances



Jackie Tohn killed her performance!! Great job!! Jes gave me a goosebumps all over my body!! Johnny's performance melt me!! I love this show better than The Voice right now!!

Platinum Hit - Episode 3 - Team Are Chosen



LOL it turned out I picked the Top 2 in my previous past. Good to know that I share a similar taste with Kara Dioguardi and Jewel. LMAO at Nick being sidelined,everybody hates him.

Platinum Hit - Episode 3 - Hooks About Roadtrip



I love Jes and Johnny hooks. The rest of them wrote a pretty good hooks too,except Nick which still maintain his douchebag attitude and wrote a hook similar to his 1st episode hooks about LA.

America's Got Talent - Melissa Villasenor Audition



She did an impression of Miley Cyrus,Kathy Griffin,Barbara Walters and Natalie Portman. It made my jaw dropped!! Amazing comedy routine!!

The Voice - Frenchie Davis - When Love Takes Over by David Guetta



One of the best performance of the night,albeit she's not as good as I had expected her to be. I had high expectation for Frenchie since everyone was raving about her run on Idol way back then (I didn't watch Season 2).

The Voice - Patrick Thomas - I Hope You Dance by LeAnn Womack



Terrible performance!! Why he's screaming at me?? I was surprised when Patrick sing Scotty McCreery's signature song on Idol. Is he gonna win this show because of the country voter?? Let's hope not.

The Voice - Team Blake - This Love by Maroon 5



This is great!! It works on everybody. The harmonies are awesome!! I love it!! Adam Levine is so hot tonight!!

The Voice - Lily Elise - Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie



Another uncomfortable performance. Why she's moaning at the end of some words?? Ahh ahh ahh. I cringed so many times watching this video. Really,she's forgettable. I already forgot about her again when watching Team Christina performing. She's gonna have to do something unique that will make her stand out. Why Christina trying to be like her parent,offering sweet talks,building up her self esteem,etc??

The Voice - Xenia - Price Tag by Jessie J



Is she forgetting the lyrics?? Why she's so awkward. Really uncomfortable watching this. Plus,it's too low on the energy level. The worst performance of the night so far. Urgh. Why the coaches didn't offer any critique?? It feels like watching Idol judges again.

The Voice - Team Christina - Lady Marmalade



Fierce!! Is Xtina pregnant??

The Voice - Dia Frampton - Heartless by Kanye West



She got a unique tone on her voice,but what a boring performance. I couldn't wait for it to end. Kris Allen clearly owned this performance way back on Season 8. No one will come close to me. There are so many version of this song on the internet,Dia shouldn't brag about her arrangement.

The Voice - Beverly McClellan - I'm The Only One by Melissa Etheridge



She's special but this song didn't do anything for her. Decent performance in my opinion. Xtina vs Adam bantering is back!!

The Voice - Jared Blake - Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon



A lil bit jarring when he threw the guitar,yes he has stage presence,but his vocal is okay. Nothing special on the performance level. I thought he gonna kiss that woman.

The Voice - Raquel Castro - Blow by Ke$ha



She worked the stage,she's trying so hard on the upper register. A little bit uncomfortable to me to watch her strained her voice. Overall,a pretty good performance. Good job for picking a current song albert from awful trash like Ke$ha. Calm down,Xtina!!

The Voice - Christina Aguilera,Adam Levine,CeeLo Green,Blake Shelton Perform Queen Medley



Nice!! Adam a bit struggled singing that song at the beginning. Christina did a great job at the end although I think usually she could sing better than that. CMIIW

Platinum Hit - Episode 2 - The Elimination



Thanks God,Johnny is safe.

Platinum Hit - Episode 2 - The Judging



Drama drama drama!! They throw each other under the bus!! Why the stage feels like Project Runway stage being brought on this show?? Is Bravo cheap??

Platinum Hit - Episode 2 - Contestants Song Being Played on Dance Club



All of their songs are pretty good!! Nick still maintains his douchebag persona. I love it that Donna Summer is there to judge them.

Tim Halperin - The Last Song Official Music Video



I really love this song!! Woah,Tim did a great job making this video. Really cool video!! Very surprised!! Usually Idol alumni's video are awful and looks amateurish,but this definitely not.

Cherie Oakley from The Voice Singing I'm Here To Stay



Woah,she's so nice,she replied to my tweet. I didn't even tweet to her,just mention her name on my tweet. In this video,she says thank you to her fans and perform her new song. It's a great song. I didn't know she had that much vocal range. Very impressed!! I'm sure she will be a great songwriter someday!!

America's Got Talent - Talking Parrot



Woah,I'm very impressed. That parrot can even mimic animal's voice. Unbelievable!!

ps: sorry for the wrong video last night.

The Voice - Battle Round - Emily Valentine vs Curtis Grimes



Gosh,these people can't sing. They hit so many flat notes. Ouch,my ears!! Now I understand why Emily got cut in Season 8 Hollywood Week,she's not that good. I really feel sorry for her.

The Voice - Battle Round - Lily Elise vs Cherie Oakley



They were trying to outscream each others!! Ouch my ears!! I'm having a headache right now because of them!! So sad for Cherie,I completely forgot about her. She's the one responsible for writing Turn On The Radio,the #1 Reba McEntire hit that made Lauren Alaina sailed to Top 13 easily thus being a runner up. She's being sacrificed on this show. So saddd!!

The Voice - Battle Round - Xenia vs Sara Oromchi



WTH happened to Xenia's voice?? Did someone slice her throat?? Her voice is so awful. Sara can't sing. This is the worst battle round ever. It's like watching random people who can't sing try to impress America. I need to rewatch Pia Toscano's I'll Stand By You performance to erase this shit.

ps: did Blake Shelton intentionally sabotage his team?? He can't pick the right song!!

The Voice - Battle Round - Jeff Jenkins vs Casey Desmond



It's VERY difficult finding The Voice videos on youtube. Since NBC blocks the international audiences from viewing their videos,what can we do?? Jeff needs to work on his facial expression when he sings. The vocal from both of these people are nothing special on this song. Very bad!!
