"Current" being the key word for Craig. I was looking at his twitter timeline last night and both Randy Houser and Lee Brice were tweeting their followers to vote for him. Sounds like they are all buddies. If Craig would sing some of their music it could be a good direction. Everyone loves some good ole Travis Tritt every once in a while, but its old and tired sounding. He's just got to find a sound that is contemporary enough for him and he could go all the way. The song selection for him last night was idiotic!!! He has an amazing voice. I just think he needs to work on getting rid of a bit of the southern rock sound he over uses and just sing.
As for James, I thought he was pretty good, too. He should have put down the guitar part way through and moved around. For Team Blake's sake, one of them needs to go tonight. Otherwise these two guys might have to split the country vote and both get sent packing eventually.

The other two teams go tonight. The elimination show is on Wednesday. I believe the top 2 from each team automatically go through, then each judge gets to pick their third person to move on to next week. Each team loses 2 people. Kicking off 8 peeps seems like a lot in one week. Maybe there is another chance for a steal to only 4 go home??? IDK.

I have to say there is a lot of talent on the voice. I don't usually like other genres of music but I enjoyed most of the performances tonight. Craig's single is three on iTunes country. I enjoyed Chris and Reagan quite a bit. The kid that did the H o i z e r song was pretty good.

Matt KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLED that Hozier song! He got up to #5 on iTunes so he will get the 10x votes there.
Craig narrowly missed the 10x votes by only hitting #11 (not that he probably needs to worry). I am pretty excited about Craig! He really took Blake's advice (and it was great advice). The little things he does with his voice that make him Southern rock were totally removed and he finally sounded like a real country artist. I think he will need to stay in that lane in order to make it beyond the show. I Think he can make it to the finale as long as there aren't any horrible song choices.
Chris shocked me! He was sooooo good! Man that falsetto!!!!
Those are my top 3 from last night.
Bottom 3: Sugar Ryan Jessie
Sugar goes home
Gwen gets the moron of the week award for the song choice "If" for Taylor. Pharrel takes a close second for doing a hatchet job on "Creep"

Back to Casey for a minute: 1. His Christmas tune "I Like Christmas" has been released to iTunes: t.co/W89xUcP5ES 2. I have seen the set list from a couple of his recent gigs and have a question: What is his obsession with "She's Money"? There are SOOOOOO many other MUCH better songs he could put into his set!!! 3. Here is a video of his full set from the USO tour (and you guessed it! She's Money gets played. (ugh) How the hell dies he decide to play that song and not play "Drive" ? Mind boggling!!! : www.youtube.com/watch?v=uximNz3LgY0&feature=youtu.be

I don't know why he plays she's money. I like the Christmas song
It's,funny because I saw a video of craig on youtube doing Keith urban you look good in my shirt. Totally did not expect that. He is number one on country itunes now. We were watching last night and my dad wasn't paying attention but craig made him turn his head and watch.

I am not sure what is happening to me but Chris Jamison is turning me into a pop fan. The last two weeks . He has picked killer songs. I keep listening to jealous.ha ha. Craig did well last night too and got the ten times downloads.

The Voice predictions (IMO):
1. Matt - duh 2. Damien - ugh 3. Taylor - ugh
4/5. Chris or Craig with one of them in the bottom 3, probably Chris
6. Ryan - times up! 7. DaNica - she's getting annoying to watch (sorry) 8. Luke - no thanks to Pharrell
If Chis is in the bottom 4 I think he gets the twitter save. Although Ryan has a good track record being saved. DaNica could swoop in though. She seems to have a loyal following for some reason. Not sure Luke can pull off the save. This is based mostly in iTunes sales. I could be way off though and Craig could be way higher.
My choice for the finale (in order):
Craig Matt Chris
I know one other person gets to come back for it and I can't think of one person I would want to see. Maybe a girl? One of the ones from Blakes team???

I can't believe Damien got the 10x votes. I understand taylor but not Damien. I was so impressed by Craig because his performance was like you were watching a guest celebrity. It didn't feel like a competition at all. Luke has been going downhill. He will never be a current artist. Craig, Taylor and Chris are the only three who can translate in today's music.

I thought Craig was amazing last night, but the song choice was boring and lazy. Just because you think some old song is one of the best ever, doesn't mean your should sing it on the Voice. Craig will really need to have a moment next week if he's going to make it any further. But if he gets voted off, he has the best chance of getting the wildcard spot in the finale. I think it's going to be next to impossible to beat Matt in the finale no matter who is in it with him.
Ugh and Damien with the 10x votes. He's just oversinging everything. I'm not a fan of either Damien or Taylor. I think Matt is out of this world. I like Chris ok, too. And of course, Craig is my favorite. I'm surprised you like Matt over Taylor. But Taylor just bugs me for some reason so I find it hard to be objective when it comes to him.

I don't really care for one over the other when it comes to Matt and Taylor. I would never listen or buy their music but I can see how they could both be current. I thought Matt was boring last night. I guess Matt, Taylor, Chris and Craig could all be current. I don't think Craig's problem was his song. He was only a few spots lower on iTunes then last week.

So much talent on the voice. Will be interesting to see where craig goes in the future. On a sidenote uptown funk is my new jam. It is such a fun song.

So after watching American idol it looks like Mr. Big machine hand selected a couple really young teenagers who are really good country singers. The one girl actually has a video on YouTube and the song is on Danielle bradberry's CD. They are both really good.

I can't believe how bad idol is. This show needs to be cancelled.
