The show features four celebrity artists who will put together teams of singers who they’ll coach and mentor throughout the competition.Free Download Video The Voice 22th July 2012 Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Voice Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Week by week, individuals will be eliminated until each celebrity has only one person on their team left to compete for the title of “The Voice of America”, in a live finale. Unlike American Idols’ lengthy audition process, the celebrity mentors will select their team members via a blind audition, so they’ll only be able to hear their voices. The show will have three stages of competition – the blind audition, a battle phase, and the live performance shows. Viewers will take part in the show by casting votes to help determine the finalists, who are competing for the grand prize – a recording contract.
Melanie Martinez was the first contestant of the night. The soft-voiced singer donned an Andrews Sisters/70’s frock and did a singer/songwriter cover of “Toxic” by Britney Spears. Her voice was wispy, breathy and subtle, with a strong upper register falsetto during the chorus.
Her absent pop vibe left the field wide open for an indie and airy performance. She delivered above average vocals, but won the race in sheer quirky appeal. Three of the judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera, turned around. Melanie chose Adam Levine in the end, as she wanted someone to assist her in expressing her creativity.
The Texan singer Brian Scartocci did a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” and even though the performance started off well, we were left hanging with an affected Adam Levine-esque voice and a nasal cover of Stevie Wonder’s seminal hit.
The vibrato became labored during the opening and Brian’s closing notes were complimented with a microphone twirl and a half-baked karaoke split near the end. All three judges, with the exception of Christina Aguilera (she’s up to something…) turned around. If we were sitting in those spinning chairs we wouldn’t have pressed that button even if you held a gun against our heads. Brian chose Adam Levine.
Beat Frequency, a duo of husband and wife, performed a cover of Katy Perry’s auto-tuned “E.T.” Their vocals lacked all forms of artistry, appeal, intelligence and pitch. They were reminiscent of a Russian cover band performing Katy Perry songs at a karaoke bar in Hell.
Christina was the only judge who turned around, but her face scrunched up near the chorus with an obvious “FML”. We really do not have high hopes for this duo. Guess who they chose?
Liz Davis, a strong contender to become the country vocalist of this season, was up next with her rendition of “Here For The Party” by country superstar Gretchen Wilson.
I think the biggest problem with The Voice is that it's not actually about "the voice", it's about the artists and furthering their own popularity. Christina Aguilera seems so full of herself! The show always says, "see which artist can say they discovered and developed the voice!" Carson Daly wants to be Ryan Seacrest so bad.
The only coach I like is Cee Lo. I was really excited for this show and quickly disappointed since it's basically a popularity contest among the coaches. The blind audition is a good idea in THEORY - too bad all the coaches can see each other and regularly comment about the contestants and whether they are going to push their button. The show's authenticity could be improved by disallowing the coaches from seeing each other.
