Welcome to the RubenJay.com live blog of the Voice. I am trying this out for the first time ever. It’s about an hour before the show starts, and the tenstion is here. I am live backstage at the show, and you can tell that people are a bit nervous.

Let’s talk a bit about last night show. We had good performances from Josiah, Chris, Sasha and a few others. But the stand outs were Judith, Danielle , Michelle, and a few others.

Who will go home? Who knows, but it’s going to be an exciting night!

Here we go….

Carson looks good as usual. He welcomes everyone to the Voice and reminds us that we lose two contestants. Blake Shelton and his wife Miranda Lamber are performing “Over You” in tribute to the victims of the Oklahoma tornados. Such a beautiful song.

The Voice has a great way of doing a review of the prior night.

Team Shakira performance….

Shakira and her team are performing Stand By You. Shakira looks HOT!  And sounds amazing. Sasha starts out the song. The problem with singing with Shakira is this: She has such a distinguished voice, it’s tough to break through that. It’s sad that Shakira outshone her team.

Carson introduces VIn Diesel promoting Fast 6. He mentioned how touching the oklahoma performance. He invited everyone to the premier of Fast and Furious 6.

Carson talks to the judges….

Carson kinda annoys me, but I like his way he interacts with the judges. I’ve got to say that Blake Shelton is the funniest person on the show.

Voice confessional…

The contestants have such a wonderful personality. All very funny answers to “If you weren’t singing”.

Carson always says “I might ask you a question so don’t be surprised”, and I feel like telling him “No duh! Its your job to ask questions.

And here we go, the live results! Who is the first saved artist? It’s team Blakes…….Danielle Bradburry! And secondly..from team Adam……..Judith Hill. Neither are surprising.

Team Bake performance

Blakes team is up for a performance and they killed it. An all country performance. The girls, Danielle and Holly stood out the most. Blake has done a great job with his team. I am going to buy this record.

Right away back to the results. Amber is asked about her mom, and man she looks so much like Carrie Underwood. Third person saved is from team Usher…….and it is Michelle Chamuel! And America saved number 4 from team shakira……….Sasha Allen. Wasted vote.

Good luck to the rest!

Team Usher performance 

Team Usher is performing an amazing song. Not sure what the title of it is, but they are showing off the skills of the contestants. Josiah has redeemed himself from last nights Coldplay performance. I think Usher did a great job on this gig!

And we are out to Christina Millian, who made a minor mistake calling Danielle “Michelle”. Smart and laughed it off.

Back to results. Saved from Team Adam………(BTW Adam looks exhausted!)……Sarah Simmons. And we go to commercial!

 

Team Adam performance

“Ive got the music in me” is the song that team Adam performs. These girls are killing it! Adam has a great group of talent. What I admire about the Voice is that they focus on their talent as opposed to other big name talent to perform. Which I think will help the contstants but hurt the show.

The final 5 are on the stage waiting for their results. I think Amber will be saved, but we will find out. Carson’s “quick questions” are driving me crazy!

America Saved from team Blake……Holly Tucker. Holly sang a christian hymn, how great thou art. She killed it.

Final 4  are on stage Amber Carrington is the most popular. Swon Brothers have a moment. Amber got Saved! So excited! America’s final save is the Swon Brothers!

The show is over! I will blog about the final 8 tomorrow!

New X Factor Judges Confirmed

Well, it looks like season 3 of the X Factor might not be as fun as season 2, but there will be alot of females.

Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio have been confirmed as new judges to the X Factor, along side Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato. Yes, you heard that correctly, a 3 women panel with one man. It’s going to be interesting.

“It’s taken more than a decade but I’m delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!),” Cowell quipped in a statement. “Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different.”

 

“I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and The X Factor family,” Rowland said in a statement that was posted to The X Factor‘s Facebook page. “It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the states!”

“Simon, be careful what you wish for, let’s see if you are ready to handle me, empieza la fiesta, amigo!” Paulina Rubio.

How to Revamp American Idol

 

For a long time now, the problem with American Idol has been the judges. From Season 8 til now, we’ve seen a panel change in all buy one season.

Can Idol be fixed? YES.

What should they do differently? I explain in the audio file above.

The Voice announces season 5 & 6 coaches

The Voice continues to grow and become bigger than before. But as Season 4 hits it’s peak in the run, viewers are wondering which coaches will be apart of the 5th season. Shakira and Usher have proven to be major hits with the show, but original coaches Christina Agulera and Cee Lo Green have been missed.

 

As interest in American Idol lowers, the Voice becomes more and more popular. As people demand a change in judges on Idol, people demand that The Voice keep all 6 coaches. So who’s coming back?

Well, all 6 of them will be apart of the show! Christina and Cee Lo will be back this fall, and Shakira and Usher will return next spring.

Paul Telegdy, President of Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment made the announcement. “We locked in a plan several months ago to have the outstanding Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green rejoin Blake and Adam for cycle 5, and we’re pleased to announce that the original four coaches are going to be back together in the fall,” he says. “They’re the reason this show was launched so strong for the first three cycles and we owe them a debt of gratitude. And after careful consideration of everyone’s schedules for next spring, we are excited to be returning the current cycle of judges — Shakira and Usher along with Blake and Adam — for cycle 6, which will premiere after the Winter Olympics.”

Executive producer Mark Burnett added: “I am so thrilled that our ‘Voice’ family has grown from four coaches to six. This show thrives on the ability of our coaches to continue to balance their enormous music careers with working on ‘The Voice’ to coach some of the best undiscovered talent in America. The coaching panel of Christina, CeeLo, Adam and Blake was at the heart of this show in its first three seasons and we are so lucky to have found equal success with Shakira and Usher in season four. Our best seasons are ahead of us.”

Nicki Minaj is leaving American Idol

Well, the most contreversial judge in American Idol history since Simon is leaving the panel…reportedly. It’s rumored that Minaj only had plans for a one season stay on Idol.

“It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to ‘Idol,’” an insider reportedly told Us Weekly, adding that she would be shifting her focus back to her music career. “She’s OK with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”

As I reported earlier this month, Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol as well after 12 season.

 

Are you suprised?
