I only made it up through the first hour. I have to get up early for work so I had to go to bed. I did record the show and will watch the ending tonight.

I loved the guy who sung the song Chandelier. What a beautiful voice.

Chandelier, was that the song Jordan Smith sang? It moved me to tears. I predict big things for this kid.

I saw most of it. Not a lot of incredible talent yet, but I think this is the best singing competition show these days. I love the judges/coaches, and the other big show is just so over.

I do think that to spark some interest, they are doing some unnecessary things like bringing in Chuck Woolery's son. He was pretty bad, and I think they were using his famous family ties (and his dad's appearance) to grab some attention and viewers. The show is much better than that, and they really don't need to go to such theatrics to be good.

I watched it but did not enjoy it as much as I used to. Judges seemed a little over the top or may be all the Adam/Blake shtick is getting old. I still like American Idol better.

I loved it. I thought it was a great first night. I'm looking forward to tonight's show, too.

I can't stand AI, but I used to love The Voice until Adam and Blake made the slow all about them instead of the contestants. I don't understand why those two haven't had to alternate the way the others have to. Go away, you two, and let the competiton among singers begin.

I enjoyed the show last night too! What I don't like is that there is a commercial (s) break after every singer!! Such a waste of time and makes the show so long..... I don't usually mind the Blake/Adam banter, but it seemed a bit overdone last night. Hope it was a one night thing...

I used to watch it but it got repetitive. I might watch it later closer to the end.

I don't remember his name, but he is from some small town in Kentucky.

I am sort of use to the banter between Blake and Adam. I actually find it amusing most of the time. They are both like two undisciplined puppies running amok. LOL

I agree that the show is much longer than it needs to be.

I watched both night of The Voice. They have some really good singers so far. I love the judges, but I do get a bit tired of the Blake/Adam banter. But I am all about Adam! :-)

Interesting...he is my least favorite! He acts and sounds likes a petulant child! Probably all an act, but yikes...such a turn off!!! I think that Farrell and Gwen often look a bit miffed at the Blake/Adam banter.

I love The Voice! I'm glad Gwen is back. The only thing I don't like is everyone one who is country has to choose Blake! Really I don't understand why. I would rather be one 1 of 12 on a team than be lost in the shuffle of Blake's country team!

I used to really like The Voice. During the first couple of seasons, they used to move along without as much of the silliness and "after the break" as the other shows. I also think they tend to attract better talent than the other singing shows. I lost interest when all of the coaches started promoting country.

I really liked it and will watch it all year.

Last year I read that they want Adam and Blake to play it up. Apparently a lot of people do like it. Sometimes I think it's over the top but it doesn't effect my wanting to watch.

As far as bringing Chuck Woolery's son on, so what? There have been lot's of famous people's kids/grandkids on. The judges have no idea who's up there singing, and they didn't seem to even by his name either. I liked seeing Evander Holyfield myself, but no one but us knew he was there.

You have to actually carry a tune to even get on which is a big draw for me.

The very first singer is my favorite so far.

A lot have this year, but they don't always and one did choose Adam. Many choose the one's that are in there genre.

I love the Voice but I have one huge pet peeve. I've even thought of trying to send something to Carson. Please stop showing what is coming up next on the piece right before the commercials!!! It totally ruins any suspense for us at home. I think they are trying to hook you into staying with the show, but I despise it. We tape the show and try to fast forward through that and the commercials.

As far as Blake and Adam, it was more natural before. Now it seems like they're trying too hard to capitalize on the banter. Let it be.

I love that Adam "stole" a country singer from Blake, but for the most part no surprise, they pick Blake.

There's a theory that the reason there hasn't been a 'breakout' star from The Voice yet becasue the show isn't enough about the contestants. Makes sense to me!.
