The Voice: Top Six and Melanie has Blue Hair

[rfisher]

Xtina is having a moment. She must not have had one since Dez left.

[Matryeshka]

Xtina must be pretty hard up since Dev left. Trevin was amazing, and I was totally bored after the first twenty seconds. I'd rather listen to Cassadee and her I-can-be-cool-like-Melanie extensions sing Justin Bieber accompanied by cats being tortured.

I give Amanda props for being I like rocker chick Amanda

[Allen]

I don't know why Amanda bothers to do anything other than rock songs...

[Matryeshka]

I want Amanda to sing Tina Turner so freaking bad it's killing me. I want to see her in some 80s version of the future badass costume singing Beyond Thunderdome and strutting for all she's worth.

I really, really, really want Amanda to win. She has the vocal chops Melanie and Cassadee lack and the personality (in vocal performance, not any other time) Terry lacks. The universe owes me for Juliet, damnit.

[dbell1]

As an 80's chick who loved that freaking Whitesnake song, I give Amanda major points. Not bad. But I was hoping for a car hood in the background rather than the Loverboy video pleather dance rejects.

melanie looks uncomfortable singing the happy song

Who'd like to have a little Hobbit in them?

I'm still betting Melanie will go through rather than Amanda. She's got a big fanbase. I'd rather it be Amanda than CasadE or Melanie, but I fear it won't be.

Xtina and Melanie are going to have a bitchfight. Now, Xtina is schooling her on how to sing. Melanie isn't buying.

perhaps i dismissed christina milian too quickly?

xtina still hates mels but there is some guy jerry backstages who is all over these props

[Matryeshka]

Gee, Melanie is only 17? Who knew? I had no idea that in the history of the world, there was never ever a singer younger than Melanie. (Just ignore Xtina sitting right there.)

I really hate this song. I hate the staging even more. I agree with what Blake is trying to say: it should have worked, but didn't.

Love Xtina calling Melanie out and I think those would have been great choices for her. I swear, she's just complimenting the stage manager to give her time to think of something nice to say.

Melanie might be in trouble--her reactions have not earned her any favors (IMO) and she appears to take herself way too seriously.

Cassadee is far too generic for me, but I have a real feeling that she's going to win

[rfisher]

Adam went off on Honey Boo Boo in an interview with GQ. He thinks the parents are idiots.

ita and ita

was that ever in doubt? even if some people like the show, they must admit that the entire family looks like the cast of "the hills have eyes"

I really liked her audition and her battle, but I've liked her less every week since. I think of all the great female singers that have been on this show, and we're left with Cassadee and Melanie, and it makes me mad. Or it would make me mad, if I cared about this season enough to get that emotional. I like that the Voice is willing to experiment with the format, but looking back on the season as a whole, I don't think it worked.

Just bought Nick's "Over the Rainbow". That was sublime.

[rfisher]

Nick he's like a fine glass of smooth whiskey. I just listen without watching. I love that song and that was an interesting arrangement.
