The Voice
Season 4
This week was the Top 10 Live Performances, and then the results from that. I do have to say that I’m losing interest in Season 4 of The Voice. It’s the song choices sometimes just throw me for a loop. Last year I was gung ho with every new show. However this year I find myself watching the show after it airs and online at NBC’s website. I dunno what it is, but as S4 continues on I’m just not into it. Below are the Top 10 Performances and Results with my opinions on each.
There were several non competition performances, you can find them below as well. On results night there was one powerful performance from miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton dedicated to their home state of Oklahoma. They performed Over You.
Maroon 5 – Love Somebody
Blake & Miranda – Over You
Shakira along with her team sang I’ll Stand By You
Team Adam – I’ve Got The Music In Me
Team Blake – Mountain Music
Usher along with his team sang The Look Of Love
Top 12 Live Performances:
Team Adam:
Sarah Simmons sang Mama Knows Best
Sarah… ooohhh Sarah!!!!!!!! I’m so happy that Adam let the rocker side of Sarah out!!! This was a damn fine performance!!!!!When Sarah sings like this she reminds me, and the rest of the world most likely of Joan Jett!!

Judith Hill sang The Way You Make Me Feel
Thought Judith’s rendition of this Classic Michael Jackson song was very inspiring. Plus it was close to her heart, so that makes it even more special.
EDITORS NOTE: You might be asking why there is no video embedded. Well at the time of the publishing it wasn’t on NBCTheVoice’s YouTube Channel.

Amber Carrington sang Breakaway
Amber really broke away this week! Loved hearing her sing this Kelly Clarkson song. I’ll say that it’s been an interesting road for Amber… Wonder where she will go from here with next week’s song?

Team Blake:
Holly Tucker sang How Great Thou Art
Holly amazes me every week. Her range is amazing in the songs that she sings. It seems that she can do nearly everything.

The Swon Brothers sang How Country Feels
The Swon Brothers! Man these guys are the NEW country!!! They did an awesome job with the song, and I really liked it.

Danielle Bradberry sang Heads Carolina, Tails California
I’m still really enjoying Danielle. As I said before I wish they’d stop using the angle of she’s the youngest. We get it already. Nice to see her singing a country song that I really enjoy.

Team Shakira:
Kris Thomas sang Adorn
REALLY? REALLY? REALLY? Shakira why the hell aren’t you listening to your artists??? Kris said that he had been going through something, hence why he was singing ballads… Then you give him a “fun” song…. RRRREEEEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYYY I can’t wait til Season 5 when Christina is back. Shakira I’m rooting for you to lose!!! As far as Kris… it was the wrong song for him obviously!!!!!!!! He sang it fine, but it didn’t grab my attention as a heart stopping performance of the night!!!!

Sasha Allen sang Next To Me
Sasha was very powerful with this song, but I just wasn’t feeling it at all.

Team Usher:
Josiah Hawley sang Clocks
Josiah did a great job with this. I don’t care what the coaches say. This might have been the first time I really enjoyed hearing this song. I’ve never been an active Coldplay fan. I’ve heard them sing this song and it’s a cool song, but not a diehard fan of theirs. I thought Josiah did a great job with it.

Michelle Chamuel sang Just Give Me A Reason
Michelle this entire season has been hit or miss for me. It all comes down to song choice, and this week I wasn’t into it all. She does have amazing singing skills, but again it just goes to show ya how important song selection is.

On Results night there were moments of jot and sorrow. I’ll say right now I was actively voting up until 10am eastern Tuesday morning. I voted for the following artists by phone, buying their song on iTunes, and on the NBC Website. Cody, Terry, Cassadee, Bryan, Dez, and Adriana.
Sadly I predicted to myself on night one what the results would be. I knew that with the dumbass fun song Shakira made Kris sing, that it wouldn’t win the viewers or the studio audience over. And sadly because everyone in the world besides me LOVES Coldplay, I knew Josiah would be going home.
Top 12 Performances and Results Final Thoughts:
I do have to say that this week did renew my interest in the show. Regardless of what I wrote at the beginning of this post. However it wasn’t like knock down omg I love this! Either way bring on the Top 8!!!
