if is it possible ,i'm very curious to know the opinion as a jugdge ,from christina ,for an old song of a singer that i know only for this song ,i didn't follow her for the rest of her career.this one was a great success ,and i really interested to know what is her judgement if this would be present at the voice . i'd like to know this about music ,lyrics, the message and the video. the song is unforgivable sinner and the singer is lene marlin. take this just like a funny thing not too much seriously .if will be possible this thanks in advance for the answer ,and anyway always good luck for the album
xtina's strategies and mindset as a recording artist is very much reflected and demonstrated on The Voice. so it is really a very long shot if not impossible for team xtina to land its very first win.
I am not a fan of the show, but from what I have seen of it this season, it's as if she Christina had a fave from the start and come hell or high water that was her focus. She was doomed as soon as she started because of that, anybody that watched this season already knew Christina was gonna lose 6 singers ago. That's the tragedy.
I think the pool of talent was different, not worse or better than last season's talent. The good singers somehow got boosted early for '"potentials", but the biggest difference was that Christina didn't seem to want someone with a VOICE, she seemed to be looking at the package because that boy she rested her entire season on was a pitiful representation of the VOICE.
I didnt care much for xtina team this year compared to her team on the 2nd season which was the best ever and so diverse!!Many of them were like so good i'd buy their albums. have done so with chris mann, and would so with many of them. But i think the selection of singers are poorer this season on all the teams actually.
Christina lost all three of her contestants in the first three weeks of live rounds. This marks her third time in a row finishing last...I don't know what to think or how to feel. It just seems like she can't get a break anywhere.
As far as the voters keeping Dez, her best was already gone before the voters had much of a choice. It's like, what's to choose from? Her best was gone looong before voters got a chance. If he is still there at the end I will be shocked and not pleasantly so either. He should have been gone when he was in the ring with that girl, don't know names, but the girl blew his ass up but Xtina said she chose Dez even though he wasn't strong in that challenge because she believed in him. Or some such nonsense. If voters had been around then he would be long gone.
You know I couldn't believe what Carson did last night with this girl. It's one thing to ask somebody how they would feel being sent home but to make them think they were saved before that, as I said on my Twitter that was dickish. It was like what? Was she the one who corrected him on his huge faux pas of caling Summer of 69 an American classic?
I agreed that she had better singers in her team than Dez. But for the last few weeks, it has been up to the viewers and the girls out there love him. They are the one keeping him around. Just like with music, the masses these days are more interested in frivolous acts than anyone with talent and substance.
I don't watch the Voice, but this season I have seen bits of 6 shows, for a total of maybe 40 minutes all together and I believe her best singers were sent away in favor of that boy Dez or whatever his name is. He has the weakest everything, he is so Nick or Disney kind of talented, which may be why Christina likes him. lol I'm surprised she has anybody left, it's like she threw away home run hitters for someone who bunts well.
Sad to see Sylvia go home!!! but Dez did a pretty good jod on his performance. Team Xtina is riding on his shoulders, and that worries me. She might be out of the competition next week. Man, what happened? Her team was so solid and now it pretty much evaporated. :'(
You know you can be both attractive and a good singer as well and it would no different to say "you look good so you can't be here" as it would to say "you sound good, but you're not attractive so no" it's amounts to the same thing and there have been worse I mean he's not like Erin from last season but he's yeah he's advancing it seems like only becaue he's good. Even the guys are all doey-eyed about him. He's not terrible but I wouldn't say he's the total package.
@phantom11 EXACTLY! And it's kinda bugging me that X keeps on saying that he's the "whole package." What is the whole package, really? The whole package to me is the VOICE. I don't care what package that voice comes out of as long as it's beautiful and Dez does not have a very good voice. I love X but she needs to open her eyes (or ears) and really listen to the beauty coming out of Sylvia. Like c'mon was I the only one that cried during her 'The One That Got Away' performance? Did X not get blown away by Sylvia's 'My Heart Will Go On' performance? X barely gives her a thumbs up but with Dez she's like in complete awe.
Am I the only one who cannot stand Dez?? I feel that he's only coasting on by because of his looks. Yeah I get it. He's very handsome but the show is called The Voice and I just wish people would vote on the talent not the looks. Idk what Christina hears in him to love him so much. Sylvia is the one with the true talent. She's the only reason why I'm still #Team Xtina
MTWM is a song about celebration.. Xtina herself said via twitter only to celebrate the release of the album.. Just A Fool will be performed too..
Besides, AMAs this Friday and she will get the huge promo.
I didn't like it. She should have done Your Body then Just a Fool with Blake. And I hate saying this but I didn't like what she wore. Why couldn't she just do a natural look like in the picture of her holding a Lotus on the homepage and iTunes?
Good points guys. Thanks, its just i actually heard it in person too the whole "Christina isnt going to be on so im going to watch it next season" then again haters say she is a waste of their time yet they take their time to assess her. i dont like nay sayers.
it's not just Christina gone it's Ceelo too, the producers of the show has made it clear that they will be back, it's not a matter of ratings, it's a matter of schedules, period. they are all a team together no matter what the ratings. the people who say they won't watch with her on there are not watching it anyway, imo they say that to be mean. I think if they get high ratings it will be because of USHER, so from that perspective Ceelo would have to worry. lol In reality I don't think anyone has to worry since the concept of the show is what makes it stand out, not just one person and adding USHER and Shakira makes them stronger, not threatened.
Sad that Xtina wont be in season four. yet im happy she will be doing what she does best, which is being herself and singing. Im kind of nervous of having Shakira as a coach on the voice because of the people that hate on Xtina. Many say they will watch the show if she is gone so if the voice gets higher ratings with Shakira and Usher will Xtina be able to come back. My friend and some family members say i should audition some day, and if i did and had chairs turn Christina would be my choice. I dont have experience singing in front of people so maybe i will wait till season five if christina is there, and if i have the courage to even audition. :/
The voice was crazy tonight ...! So far .. Xtina, Blake, Adam,and cee lo has great singers on their teams.. Can't wait for tomorrow and Wednesday night show ....

The Voice's Carson Daly on Season 3 Tweaks, Battle-Round Thievery, Taking Idol's Emmy Nod
BY MICHAEL SLEZAK
Get More: Exclusive, Interviews, Reality TV, Scoop
Carson Daly knows how clichéd it is to utter the phrase “it’s an honor just to be nominated,” but with The Voice scoring its first ever nod this week in the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program category, he just can’t help himself. “I’ve never been in a position to actually say that line and say it where it means something,” muses the show’s host, “but it really is an honor.”
TVLine caught up with Daly to talk about The Voice‘s Emmy chances, some intriguing tweaks to the show’s formula for its upcoming third season, and any simmering tensions between judges Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine.
PICKING THEIR BATTLES | “We’re tweaking the Battle Rounds a little bit for Season 3,” says Daly. “The best way to categorize the changes is that we’re playing with some potential interchangeability.” When I tell Daly that I’ve always wished that mentors would be allowed to steal at least one Battle Round evictee from a competing judge, and ask him if that’s what he means by “interchangeability,” he chuckles. “I will unofficially not comment on that, but I think that you in particular will enjoy this season of The Voice.”
A LESS CROWDED STAGE | “We had too many people in the live rounds, and it was hard to keep track of them, and it was hard to fall in love because there were so many,” says Daly, reflecting back on The Voice‘s first two seasons. As a result, don’t expect to see 24 vocalists — six per mentor — for Season 3′s live shows. “One of the things Mark Burnett excels at, his production company excels at, is telling stories. And [in the case of The Voice], these stories are so cinematic and they tug at the heartstrings,” says Daly. “When we get to the live shows, we want America to be a little more invested in fewer singers.” He also says to expect an increased number of performances from individual contestants by the time they get to the finale.
MORE BLIND AUDITIONS (NOW WITH MORE BABIES!) | With The Voice now airing Mondays and Tuesdays — three hours per week — that means more blind auditions for Season 3. “We just shot it,” says Daly. “It’s five days where I’m out of my mind.”
The host adds that he’d recently been pondering the grueling travel schedule his friend Nick Cannon has during America’s Got Talent‘s audition rounds, which initially had him thinking, “God, I have it easy. I never leave L.A.” But then, says Daly, he reconsidered. “Eff that! I’m on an emotional rollercoaster. I watch these auditions standing right next to the families and loved ones of these contestants, while they put everything on the line in 90 seconds. And it’s hit or miss. You just need one mentor to press one button, and when they do, it’s a moment of elation. But if there isn’t a button-push, it’s the most awkward room and the most awkward place you can possibly imagine on television.” Daly adds that after he was essentially mauled by the overjoyed mom of Season 2 singer Adley Stump following her successful blind audition, he’s seen an uptick in physical contact with contestants’ families this year. “I’m holding babies, I’m hugging moms, and I’m catching dads,” he says with a laugh.
99 PROBLEMS BUT A CONTINUING XTINA/ADAM FEUD AIN’T ONE | Daly is the first to admit Season 2 ended with palpable tension between Aguilera and Levine — whose finale-night tiff over contestant Tony Lucca’s Jay-Z cover created oodles of tabloid chatter. “You could see it. You could feel it. I’m not gonna lie to you, and you’d read into my bulls–t if I told you that there wasn’t any,” he says. Nevertheless, after a rumored truce at the Season 2 wrap party, the duo’s on-set relationship during the recently filmed blind auditions was very cordial, Daly reports. “I didn’t know what to expect in frame one of Season 3. I was curious to know if the first time they had an exchange, would you be able to feel any resentment, but it just wasn’t there. It’s better. It’s like they went to couples therapy,” he says.
Daly continues that while no one can be sure whether or not Aguilera and Levine will “go back at it in the live shows,” he’s of the mindset that serious discord isn’t good for the show — no matter how much press it generates. “There’s fun bickering, like when your husband misses the turn in the car, and you say ‘Why don’t you stop and get directions?!’ That’s fine,” Daly offers. “But when there’s trouble in your marriage, that’s not the business of chemistry we want to be in.” To that end, “you’ll never see on The Voice a promo with a flashing ambulance because somebody fell backstage,” Daly insists. “We don’t produce our show that way. We’re not trying to capitalize on any headlines of that nature, and we haven’t really needed to thus far.”
CHARTING THE COURSE TO SUCCESS | Asked about whether or not he’s concerned that The Voice has yet to produce a major radio success on the level of category rival American Idol, Daly is philosophical. “We’d like to have that Kelly Clarkson sort of moment, and it’s important to the longevity and stability of the brand of The Voice. At some point I think you have to have somebody pierce popular culture,” he says. “But on the other hand, it’s not something we can control, and we don’t think the show’s success is predicated on that. We’re also only two seasons in. There’s a timeline, but it’s not anytime soon.”
IN GOOD COMPANY | Daly says he’s “humbled” to see The Voice nominated alongside The Amazing Race, Dancing With the Stars, Top Chef, So You Think You Can Dance and Project Runway. “The conversation about snubs is going to be a growing conversation, because there’s so much quality television and not enough room,” he adds, citing the lack of nods for Sons of Anarchy, Community, and Parks and Recreation‘s Nick Offerman as this year’s most egregious snubs. And while The Amazing Race — “a great example of quality TV,” Daly says — has taken home the Reality-Competition statuette eight of the nine years it’s been in existence, he adds that The Voice has its own merits: “It’s a monster of a show. You’re talking 12 performances a week that are Grammy-esque in scope. It’s amazing what our crew does, and Paul Mirkovich our band leader, and our band. They have to learn 90-second versions of hundreds of songs per season. We may not be a global travel show, but what we do for our format is an amazing feat, and I’m happy for all the names that’ll never be mentioned that we’re nominated. Because there’s a long list of people that make The Voice an exciting show to be a part of.”
IDOL THOUGHTS | Asked about the fact that The Voice scored its first Emmy nod the same year American Idol was left off the ballot for the first time in 10 years, Daly takes a diplomatic approach. “That’s a storyline that was brought to my attention many hours after we’d been nominated,” he says. “Idol is, come on, arguably the greatest, strongest show in the history of television. For The Voice to be mentioned in the same breath is really an honor.”
HOST WITH THE MOST? | Daly, who didn’t make the Emmy cut in the Reality-Competition hosting category, says a personal nomination has never been on his radar. “My real passion is part of the ensemble — to work with Mark Burnett and have a chair at the producers’ meeting. I’m privy to all knowledge on this show on a lot of confidential levels on behalf of both the network and Mark Burnett Productions. The whole process to me is worth its weight in gold,” he explains. ”But I don’t DVR my late-night show. I can barely watch The Voice, except our singers are so good. So I don’t even think about being a host and getting an award for it.” Nor is he expecting The Voice to take home the statuette in its category. “The nomination is another reason for [The Voice production team] to hang out and go to the show and just have a blast,” Daly says. “There’ll be no discussion of winning.”

I'm really upset Sylvia didn't make it through, Carson jinxed her!

I miss Adriana Louise tbh..
She is my favorite
yes that's right. christina is just being christina. it even affects fans. let's have a toast on that one.
This is gonna be the first season I am not rooting for Team Xtina. I was rooting for Team Xtina up until Sylvia's departure. So disappointing...
You know I couldn't believe what Carson did last night with this girl. It's one thing to ask somebody how they would feel being sent home but to make them think they were saved before that, as I said on my Twitter that was dickish. It was like what?

Did X not get blown away by Sylvia's 'My Heart Will Go On' performance? X barely gives her a thumbs up but with Dez she's like in complete awe.
mtwm is a promotional single
Yeah and that really contradicts the whole idea of the Voice.
Am I the only one who cannot stand Dez?? I feel that he's only coasting on by because of his looks. Yeah I get it. He's very handsome but the show is called The Voice and I just wish people would vote on the talent not the looks. Idk what Christina hears in him to love him so much.

I lover her 'Make The World Move' performance while some 'fans' hating on it and says her career is over. I just can't....
I am loving her team so far!
Here's a video of what's coming up on tonight's episode of The Voice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4NNv2j_aqg&feature=player_embedded
Good points guys. Thanks, its just i actually heard it in person too the whole "Christina isnt going to be on so im going to watch it next season" then again haters say she is a waste of their time yet they take their time to assess her. i dont like nay sayers.
I'm so sad to hear that Xtina is not going to be on season 4 of The Voice but I'm going to joy watch her on this season..
Mark Burnett said Christina has The Voice chair for life, so I'm not worried at all.
Christina and Shakira absolutely need to collaborate!!! They are one of my dream collaborations!
its funny, i had shakira run thru my mind before on who else aside3 from xtina is qualified. her voice is very distinct as well. and xtina loves her!
Sad that Xtina wont be in season four. yet im happy she will be doing what she does best, which is being herself and singing. Im kind of nervous of having Shakira as a coach on the voice because of the people that hate on Xtina. Many say they will watch the show if she is gone so if the voice gets higher ratings with Shakira and Usher will Xtina be able to come back.

I dont have experience singing in front of people so maybe i will wait till season five if christina is there, and if i have the courage to even audition. :/
It's better than nothing. And maybe we'll be told when we can see the full video!!
Only snippet of the video.
Your body video clip will premiere on the voice on monday!
Lovin' this show so far! Love most of the singers on each team. Go, Team Blake and Team XTINA!
Loving the show! Best season so yet!!!
The voice was crazy tonight ...! So far .. Xtina, Blake, Adam,and cee lo has great singers on their teams.. Can't wait for tomorrow and Wednesday night show ....
TEAM XTINA
live performance. but of course it was pre-taped.
Three more days!!!
I am almost positive that it's a performance
The "your body" premiere on the voice , is it going to be a stage-performance as i think it is, or a showing of her music vid? anyone know for sure?
oh, yeah. you got me there.
but atleast his team climbed up the ranks... xtina's a non mover at the bottom.
ijamseeds Cee Lo hasnt won yet either. dont worry.
