The "battle rounds" continue and the coaches enlist the help of the music industry's top recording artists to offer their knowledge and skill as advisers.Download Video The Voice The Battles (3) Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Voice Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Adam Levine teams up with Hillary Scott, Blake Shelton with Sheryl Crow, Shakira with Joel Madden, and Usher with Pharrell Williams. In this phase, the coaches pit two of their own team members against each other in a dueling duet. After the vocal face-off, each coach must choose which artist from their team is the strongest, and has the option of stealing losing artists from an opposing coach. Each coach has two steals during the battle rounds where their artists will proceed to the new knockout rounds.The show features four celebrity artists who will put together teams of singers who they’ll coach and mentor throughout the competition.
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.
I know The Voice does Battle Rounds and Knockout Rounds and other fighting metaphors, but do we really need the Pro Wrestling, pre-match scripted scenes too? Before Night Two of the Blind Auditions begins, Adam and Blake discuss "hazing the new blood," then, The Newbies walk in. Instead of going full-blown WWE, as The Voice might as well do at this point, Adam and Blake are cordial and do not haze Shakira and Usher. Glad we all got to see that.
The first singer into the ring is Tawnya Reynolds. There's no way that's the original spelling of her name, unless her parents are too dumb to pick up a baby-naming book. Tawnya complains of how hard it is to make it in Nashville. This is her last stop. I don't know, though, this may not be an acceptable amount of tragedy for The Voice.
Tawnya starts out "Mammas Don't Let Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys," and pretty soon Shakira and Adam are turned around. What is Blake waiting for? Usher, still with his back to Tawnya, offers "I mentor one of yours, you mentor one of mine?" as though that is some kind of deal that one can even make, or that benefits anyone. Blake nods, though, and Usher pushes his button.
Adam tells Tawnya not to focus on Blake, who should have turned around. Shakira argues that she is, next to Blake, the most "country" one there. She might mean from a different country? She thinks playing the harmonica and riding horses is enough to get her by. Then Shakira busts out the prop comedy with a The Voice branded "English to Country Dictionary" that was provided to her by either one of her writers, or someone's lame aunt.
"I reckon that you wanna join Team Shakira," Shakira reads, still adorable, "I'd be much obliged if you pick me." Yup, one of the writers. Even after that stunt, Tawnya should pick Shakira. Adam likes that Tawnya knows who she wants to be as an artist, and Usher and Blake make a case for Usher, but not a very good one. Shakira gets her first country artist.
The Voices Program is Awesome I hardly watch t.v., found this show by mistake and glad I did. I look forward to watching the judges and hearing the talent.
the judges are entertaining, critical and show great evaluation of musical talent.
we have 3-4 show we tape for viewing later- we just added The Voices. Christina Blake Cee lo and Adam are great teams leaders. Sitting and watching them decide to pick a talent is amazing they are listening with a critical ear yet open heart..
