Who would you send home from this group? I didn’t see anyone who deserves to go home. They should expand their tour dates beyond what they have done in the last two years for this group. I would like to have a ticket.
I thought Trevin left some of his song on the table for some reason. It seemed like he had more to offer particularly in the first half of the song. He connected with it at the end though. He was better in terms of stage work than I expected and sang well in the group number. Melanie doesn’t fair so well in the group performances, but you could actually hear her voice when they all sang together. My boy Nicholas isn’t that great in a group either but he worked pretty well with the “Pips” last night. That guy puts a smile on my face every time I see him perform. He must of spent the last 50 years in a time capsule.
Cassadee is at number 2 on iTunes this week, Melanie is at number 4 and Nicholas is at number 9. These singers plus Amanda are “my team” so I’m pleased to see them charting. Casadee’s song from last week is still ahead of everyone else at #14, and then Amanda comes in at #18. Next is Cody at #37 and Trevin at #38. I listened to everyone’s iTunes samples last night and was surprised how good Melanie’s studio versions were. Very marketable.
Until last week I would have bet everything on Trevin winning but Cassadee is making a strong run for the win.

I still prefer Melanie this season. I find her voice unique and haunting. Last week and this week Melanie is keeping up with Cassadee in Itune sales. Seven Nation Army is still selling. I was sad to see Cody Bam Bam go and felt Nick should have gone. I would like for Melanie to over take Cassadee but with the Voice always giving Cassadee the pimp spot and showcasing her in group numbers, it is evident who the Voice PTB want to win.

As soon as Dez picked Christina as his coach I knew he was a goner. It was only a matter of time. And Christina’s desperate bordering on rude comments on performance night didn’t help.
