The Voice is returning to NBC tonight with the first of three straight nights of blind auditions. I’m really looking forward to it, the show has featured some awesome vocalists over its previous two seasons.
Like last season, I will be posting my thoughts here and hopefully will not have the urge to yell at people as the season goes on. I think it’s really interesting, though, watching how people are already aligned with a certain “team”. I personally don’t root for any one team until I see what kind of team they’ve built up. I feel as though Ceelo has, sadly, put together some of the weaker teams over the past couple of seasons. Erin anyone?
Coaching-wise, I think that Christina and Blake are the best. They seem to really know how to pick songs for their teams and push them to be better. I love how Christina is so willing to take chances with some really out there song choices while Blake pushes his team with songs that completely take them out of their comfort zones. It usually leads to several weeks of disasters, but he does manage to show who can rise to the occasion.
As for Adam, well… Christina said it best when she called him a used car salesman. He seems to be the real schemer of the bunch, sometimes sacrificing the more talented artist for the one he feels will be most marketable or he’s connected with the most.
What do you guys think? Are you on a team yet? Do you have your own take on the judges? Comment and let’s chat about it. I leave you today with a preview of the new season:
Whoo hoo! I am ready…I have never followed any of the American Idols, or The Voice…But I am now on board and look forward to seeing it all from the ground floor up:) I will refrain from choosing a team (following the Master advice of you…Jamie B:) I am unfamiliar really with the judges except Christina, so I am striving my hardest, not to be bias going in:) Anyway, looking forward to it!
Glad you’re on board Michelle
We totally need to chat during it and maybe share the commentary later. 
Due to schedule, unfortunately I have to DVR it, and then watch later:( But I will defintely give you the rundown of my thoughts after watching, and yes we can share later:) I plan to also add a little commentary to Music Mondays about the Voice, also thinking of checking out X-Factor! I’m getting in the groove of things! LOL
Can’t wait to hear what you thought
There were a couple of contestants that were unreal.
I really enjoy watching The Voice! I think it is so fantastic that there is no question of appearance or back-story. I agree with you ; but I do have a super favorite coach and that is Christina. I love the fun aspect that CeLo Green adds to the show. I do not follow teams I pick the ones I like and then as they learn and grow some really surprise me. It must be so cool to be able to sing.
Some really shock me as well. I remember not being impressed with Dia at all in Season One and then she really came into her own. And, yes, Ceelo is definitely entertaining
I like The Voice a lot, but I’m not a big fan of the audition shows because I don’t like all the backstory stuff so I sort of half-watch until they finally get down to the battle rounds. I agree with you on Blake and Christina being the best of the judges.
Yeah, some of that gets to be a bit much. I think the main thing I like about the blinds is watching the coaches battle over a contestant. That and the looks of complete shock some of them get when a contestant hits a really great note.
