Some random thoughts about this season of The Voice , now that it's down to the final eight contestants, now that I've finally caught up with the series on DVR... First the two eliminated finalists, who I feel were robbed by being sent home.... Sylvia Yacoub : had an amazing powerful voice that was spot on in diva moments like "My Heart Will Go On". Best song: "Girl On Fire"...  (Click below to see the rest of the post)

Last night marked the Voice Semifinals, with two singers from each of the four mentors' teams battling it out to become the final four, which will be announced tonight. Damn, but if Cee-Lo had the two best of the competition. Although I adore Juliet, color me bitchy but I wish she had a different song than the current go-to James Brown staple. How abour "King Heroin". It'd fit her! Jamar went crazy on "If You Don't Know Me", a MUCH better choice, though I guess I'm too obsessed with the show to be a weeny bit soured since the incredibly hunky Ben Saunders who won the original Voice Of Holland did the song as well, and these thing make me feel like the show has more of a preplanned script than I want. Carson Daly is like Dick Clark if he had his stroke back in 1965. Jermaine Paul - damn, great voice, damn WTF with the Journey? And I LOVE Journey. Just another overdone song, but miles better than Erin Willett's caterwaul on ...

She's even got the hair. It's pretty evident that Cee-Lo kept her around because of the history and/or prospect of boning her. At least he knows he has a ringer in Jamal, who clearly won the night. There was not one thing wrong with that performance. zilch. Juliet Simms impressed me more than she's ever done (I guess like Blake), and Kudos for taking a song like that and not genderchanging. I subconsciously do feel the rocker thing a little wee bit forced, but she did cover that with chops Xtina was a bit grumpy - lack of food perhaps? (zing). She may be a little more focused on critiquing (comparatively) but her takedown of Tony Lucca was a bit bitter. I mean, if you're going to razz him, razz him for his overemoting. His mouth at times looked like a dogs with its head out the window of a moving car. Katrina Parker tried. I loved her last time out, but she was a bit out of element on this tune. They only have a couple chances to win over people, why keep p...
