The Voice<\/em> opened with it’s first two live eliminations of the season and showed immediately why it is a huge threat to the Idol dynasty.\u00a0 Of the four contestants – two young things built for American superstardom and two older, quite bald, women – the two older women were the ones who stayed on the show.\u00a0 Tatoo-laden Beverly McClellan advanced, along with former Idol Frenchie Davis<\/a>, advanced from Christina Aguilera’s team of merry women.\u00a0 Those two wouldn’t have ever made it this far on Idol.\u00a0 On Blake Shelton’s team, quiet girl Dia Frampton got America’s vote to go through after her creative rendition of Kanye West.\u00a0 Blake decided that he wanted to keep his other shy girl in Xenia.\u00a0 I’m not really sure what he sees in her voice, it is somewhat unique but her range is so limited it is hard to see her winning this thing.<\/p>\n

On the whole this weeks show was much more interesting than the offerings from Blake and Christina’s teams, starting off with Cee Lo’s duo of somewhat-creepy yet somehow fun sisters and moving to a stellar performance of KT Tunstall by Casey Weston.\u00a0 Vicci Martinez has been one of my favorites from the beginning, and her darkly intimate performance of\u00a0 “Jolene” was one of the highlights of the evening.\u00a0 The arrangement seemed a little odd, but her vocal made the song shine even through the sub-par backing.\u00a0 Nakia, also from team Cee Lo, brought down the house with the latest Kings of Leon hit, and there was also fire.<\/p>\n

While Team Cee Lo’s performances often used some great theatrics, his best moment as a coach came in picking the song “Addicted to Love” for country singer Curtis Grimes.\u00a0 The Robert Palmer hit really shined as a country song, and Curtis did a great job of bringing that country swagger.\u00a0 The best moment for Adam’s team came with Javier Colon.\u00a0 His performance of “In the Arms of the Angels” was pitch perfect,\u00a0 hitting amazing notes and hitting the emotional notes right now.\u00a0 He made the rest of the performers look like amateurs, with only Vicci Martinez and Nakia really coming close.\u00a0 He won the night and will probably win the whole competition.<\/p>\n

Even with all of that, the best moments of the night were reserved for Cee Lo, who took his team for massages and wore a gigantic afro-puff wig on stage.\u00a0 The Voice<\/em> is always solid television, and Cee Lo takes it to the next level every time with his hilarious antics.\u00a0 The other coaches bring a lot to the show, but Cee Lo is slowly becoming the star.<\/p>\n
