Vocal Credit: The Voice/NBC

We are down to the Top 12 singers on this very popular reality singing competition.  NBC’s  The Voice continues to do extremely well in the ratings after 9 seasons, due in part to the lively rapport between the judges, a genuine host in the form of Carson Daly and the continued excellence of the singers.  It is a slick, well – oiled machine, with outstanding production elements.  

In terms of this week’s show, here is what to expect – from a screen shot taken from the Voice’s Wikipedia Page: 

As you can see, and it will be a jam-packed evening of performances on Monday, November 16th at 8:00 PM, followed with a Results Show on Tuesday, November 17th. 

However, this is your chance to make a difference in the lives of these singers. Your votes count and your iTunes downloads and Apple Music streaming numbers are more important than ever. 

Enjoy the show everyone and best of luck to all the singers.

  6. Thanks for the comments and the links everyone. I, along with you, think Jordan has an incredible voice. The purity and upper range? Outstanding, OUTSTANDING! So unique as well.

    Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to watch The Voice this season. My schedule won’t permit it. However, I catch the performances online when I can!
