Thanks focksie. I wish they didn't have professionals mixing with amateurs.

Me too! I think it is so unfair!! The pros have already learned the tricks of the trade--calming tips, throwing their voice, tone etc. I thought the whole point of this show was to take someone who was a somewhat new to the singing field and coach them to the top! I do think it is the best singing competition show on the air....am really enjoying the contestants and the rapport among the judges.

Sisaundra is amazing!

She sure is but I felt bad for Biff because he is a fantastic singer and entertainer. I hope someone picked him up and offered him a recording contract. Sisaundra is a professional so I think it was unfair to Biff for Blake to put them up against one another. All the contestants this season are great.

I lost interest in the show because of the pros on it year after year.

I do believe the pros are pre-screened and pushed through ahead of the 'regular' singers.

Wasn't it Judith Hill who sang backup for Michael Jackson?? She was voted off not last season but the season before.

Tissyanne was last season's winner but I don't think she did backup for MJ. She was already a pro too, I believe.

Sisaundra is a powerhouse but I agree - professionals are hard to beat.

You are correct...it was Judith Hill...wonder how she is doing?

I couldn't believe Adam didn't pick up Biff...yet took the last young man...who is a fine singer but not on par with Biff!

I haven't seen last night's yet, I just watched the DVR of Monday night's version. I cannot watch this in real time because the commercials drive me insane.

Anyhow, I used to be a American Idol fan until about 3 or 4 seasons ago and then I felt the talent was seriously lacking and getting worse by the minute. But for some reason, I never could get into The Voice.

This year we are watching it and loving it. I cannot believe how amazingly talented these people are. This show blows AI out of the water.

Yes it does...plus the interactions with the Judges are highly entertaining.

The Voice is so much better than Idol, but I admit to watching because of the coaches, not the contestants. Love Usher's hat.

A concern of Adam's is probably who is more marketable. You know, the power of young girls voting.

I really wish they didn't allow professionals like Judith Hill and Sisaundra Lewis as contestants. Are they good? Of course. But I will always pull for the young, raw talent of someone who is currently working at MacDonalds.
