The
Voice: Top 12 Eliminations
Giz:
This elimination episode was probably the first
time I was actually nervous for The Voice Season 4. Firstly, I didn’t watch the
live playoff eliminations (I was at the movies J), but I knew one person from each team had to go. But this time, it
could have been ANYONE! There was no saving! The people going home could have
been amazing, but not have the texting support necessary. I was seriously
nervous. So was Tonz! I bite her nails over Whatsapp, mainly because I just had
mine done. J. My prediction was, based on the
top 12 performances, Kris Thomas and Garrett Gardener would be leaving.
Tonz: I was sooooo nervous, oh my goodness. My heart was racing each and
every time Carson was about to announce, i mean i knew who i wanted to stay for
sure and just as Giselle my bottom 2 predictions were Kris, because his last
performance was not his best at all and Garrett, basically because there was no
one else and also his last performance was a bust for me as well.
Giselle (with Tonia’s input)
NBC tried to take our minds off of the pending results, by bringing on Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I to perform Blurred Lines with Kris Thomas and Vedo. Man oh man, did that distracted us! Let’s take a moment to think about all the kinds of fine that were present on that stage. *complete silence* Excuse me a minute while I shift uncomfortably in my seat.
Tonz: AHHHHHHHH Robin Thicke, Pharrell, T.I.!!!
The distraction did not last long, because in no time at all, Carson was ready to name the first two saves: Kris Thomas and The Swon Brothers. Imagine MY SURPRISE! I was sure that Kris would have been one of the bottom 2. The Swon Bros. I knew would be saved because their rendition of Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes was wonderful. Kris’ rendition wasn’t his best, but he got the votes. Alright Alright…this means someone else is going to be sent home. My new predictions were either Josiah or Vedo and Garrett.
Tonz: Now I knew The Swon Brothers were staying I just didn’t expect
them to be one of the first called, but nonetheless I was really pleased that
America backed them. I was SO SURPRISED when Carson called Kris’ name, I was
like WHAT??! So who is going home now??
Team Blake then took the
stage to sing Play Something Country! I LOVED IT! Awooooohoooo! J Couldn’t ask for anything more country or better than that!
Tonz: ok seriously I know you guys are country and proud, but no need to
throw that in our faces EACH episode. By the end of the performance and into
the break I caught myself singing Awooooohooo play something country *hangs
head*.
The next two saves were: Sarah Simmons and
Josiah Hawley. We all knew Sarah was going to be saved, no news there. I was
really glad for Josiah, because I love his sound. This meant that the only
other logical send home would be Vedo.
Tonz: Totally agree with Giselle here, I knew Sarah was safe and I
expected America to save Josiah because of his growth and his sexiness.
Lady Antebellum performed
Goodbye Town with Judith Hill, Sarah Simmons and Amber Carrington. I loved
it. I loved them! The performance was really nice, there’s nothing else I can
say.
Tonz: two words alone: Adam’s Angels.
The next saves were: Judith Hill and
Danielle Bradbery. Again, there’s no surprise for either Judith or Danielle.
It’s still nerve – racking though. We were literally hiding our faces while
waiting, at least I was. I’m such a punk.
Tonz: Oh yea, these two were hands down saves. Just thought they’d have
been the first two called.
Team Adam came on next to
perform Lovesong! Hey now! This was AMAZING! They each sounded so
wonderful. My goodness, I don’t think they could have done any better than
that. I’m a huge Adam fan anyway, so whatever he sings brings joy to my heart.
That aside, this performance was so, simple yet so effective. Loved it!
Tonz: Adam and his Angels J loved
it.
The next two to be saved were: Michelle
Chamuel and Amber Carrington. No surprise to them both. They both have been
getting better and better every week. I was happy to hear their names get
called.
Tonz: Great artists and America would have been fools to let them go.
Thanks for not being fools America J.
Nervously we
were on to the final four; who would be the last two saves? Okay, so by the
process of logistics and elimination, we came to the conclusion that it would
be Vedo and Garrett, but, history has shown that America surprises you. The
last two saves were: Holly Tucker and Sasha Allen, leaving, as we suspected,
Vedo and Garrett to be sent home. Thankfully Holly and Sasha were saved. There
was no surprise at Sasha though.
I hated to see
Vedo go. I really grew to like him. Unfortunately at this level, it’s no longer
about whom we like. It’s crunch time! The better voices have to take
precedence. Both Vedo and Garrett made significant improvements since their
auditions and I know that whatever they learned from their amazing coaches,
will carry them on to do great things! J
I cannot wait to
hear the top 10 perform next week. This is the time we hear the best of the
best. I’m literally at the edge of my seat! Next week, please come quickly!!!
Tonz: I hated that for the
sake of ratings (at least this is my opinion) that the show chose to keep us in
this kind of nervous suspense and had us thinking that Holly or Sasha could
have gone home. I mean I wasn’t expecting it but I didn’t appreciate the
suspense. So in the end Vedo and Garrett had to go, but they had a good run,
they showed what they are capable of and maybe a record label would pick them up and they continue to
make music J.
Just as Giselle,
I am looking forward to the performances to come because with the artists that
remain you can be sure that we are in for a treat.
