Last night, we saw the "Lines of 10" round. We saw a lot of familiar faces, most of whom made will move on. I'm quite disturbed by the absence of Adam Lasher and Mackenzie Bourg! Where were they? Did they make it through?! Also missing were early standouts Lindita, Kory Wheeler, John Wayne Shultz, Elvie Shane, and Brandyn Burnette. Fingers crossed that they snuck in!
Round 2: Group Round
They choose their group, their song, their choreography etc. They will perform in groups of 3 or 4.
So, the groups get started, and I see Adam Lasher! Whew! One down...let's see the rest!
Team Blue Eyes: Jordan Sasser, Kory Wheeler, Kelsie Watts, Jenna Renae
"Treasure" by Bruno Mars
Korey! He made it! I like the guys a lot more than the girls. Jordan and Korey did an awesome job. The girls were nothing special at all.
Moving on: all 4
Team Milk & Cookies: Jenn Blosil, Sara Sturm, Lynnzee Fraye, Bri Ray
"Drag Me Down" by One Direction
Funny that these 4 found each other because they all sing EXACTLY the same! They all have this scratchy/squeaky sound. Jenn is just driving me bonkers...I can't stand her! Her voice is the most scratchy and most annoying, and she is just on another planet. I kind of liked Bri and Lynnzee. I liked the version of the song that they did, it was a really cool vibe.
Moving on: all 4
Ooh x 2: Amelia Eisenhauer, Tristan McIntosh, Lee Jean, ?
"Too Close" by Alex Clare
I don't know if I'm sold on Amelia. There's just something about that I don't really care for. Tristan did well again, but she seems to be trying too hard.
Moving on: all 4
Avalon Young, ?, ?
"DJ Got Us Falling in Love" by Usher
Wow, Avalon! She sounded great on this song! I'm really starting to like her a lot.
Moving on: all 3
Jeneve Rose Mitchell, ?, ?
"I Need You" by Lady Antebellum
Jeneve was so much better without her cello or bass, or whatever that was. She might actually be able to sing! The instrument playing was so pitiful that it drowned out her vocals and made them seem really bad. These 3 really harmonized very well...impressive!
Moving on: all 3
Chynna Sherrod, Terrian, ?, ?
"Rather Be" by Clean Bandit
Wow, the harmony! That was really good! The one last girl who sang the high note was a bit off, but other than that it was a great performance.
Moving on: all 4
Trent Harmon
"Rather Be" by Clean Bandit
Because he has mono, he is told he has to perform by himself to protect the other contestants. Poor guy! I think he would do better if he wasn't sick. I really want to like him because he did so well in his audition, but there is just too many weird things going on with his voice. There are some really nice things he's doing, but I just don't know if it's enough. But Harry says "the song sounds better in mono."
Moving on: Trent! Making history as the first solo performance on group day :)
Singing Out Loud: Michelle Marie, Ashley Lusk, Lindsey Carrier, Shelbie Z
"Undo It" by Carrie Underwood
Shelbie is really annoying me...way more than when she was on The Voice. She has got quite the attitude on her! And then there's Michelle...can you say "immature"? I'm not impressed with any of these 4. Michelle just annoys me to no end. They sounded good together, but nothing spectacular.
Moving on: Michelle, Ashley, Shelbie Z
Elvie Shane, John Wayne Shultz, Jessica Cabral, ?
"Too Close" by Alex Clare
We really only heard Elvie sing. I have to say it wasn't as good as his audition, but I still like his voice. He might have been trying a little too hard.
Moving on: John, Jessica, ?
Ashley Lilinoe, Mackenzie Bourg, Juno, ?
"Renegade" by X Ambassadors
Ashley didn't look like she was really trying...but then that is kind of exactly how she did in her audition. She is just way, way, too relaxed. It was pretty painful. The focus was on her and Ryan's voice over was saying that some people don't perform the way you expect, and the ones you think will do really good choke. And then out of nowhere, there's Mackenzie!!! Immediately, I'm terrified because I'm thinking he's going to be one of "those" that Ryan is talking about. Personally, I always love what he sings, and I thought he did a good job. I'm so nervous!
Moving on: Juno, Mackenzie, (Kayla or Michaela...couldn't make out what Harry said) Woohoo for Mackenzie!!!! He's still alive!!!
Cameron Richard, ?, ?
"Too Close" by Alex Clare
Cameron singing this song was hilarious! He just cracks me up.
Moving on: ?, we just know that Cameron is not
Chicken Noodle Soup: Dalton Rapattoni, Kassy Levels, Anatalia Villaranda
"Treasure" by Bruno Mars
Anatalia got kicked out of Envy and was lucky to find Dalton and Kassy, who needed a new member since Poh abandoned them. Poh decided to up and quit. She just left the group stranded. They couldn't find Poh and someone from the show called her. Her dad picked up and said she couldn't do this. O...M...G. Seriously?! Her sister did the show last season, you can't tell me she didn't know what it was going to be like. I knew from the beginning that she was not taking this seriously at all. That just proves it. She better not have ruined this for Dalton. After all the drama and little time to rehearse, they sounded amazing! Dalton is a star on that stage! I absolutely adore him! Anatalia sounded great and Kassy was good too. They were magic and I'm so glad they found each other! Dalton just makes me giddy with excitement and I get goosebumps every time he sings. He is something special, I'm tellin' ya!
Moving on: all 3!!
Envy: Andrew Nazarbekian, Sonika Vaid, Stephany Negrete
"Problem" by Ariana Grande
Funny that the group that bullied Anatalia out of their group, is now still having problems without her. Whoa, Andrew can hit some high notes! Sonika sounds better than she did last night and is showing a little more personality. They started out a little weak, but they really did well at the end. I like the way they ended the song with the harmony.
Moving on: all 3
Trick or Treat Tribe: Kylle Thomasson, Kacye Haynes, Jon Klasasen, Marcio Donaldson
"Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars
When it started I couldn't tell if this was going to be a disaster or something really good. By the middle, it was clear it was a great performance. It was a little gimmicky, but their voices were really good, and they divided the parts well.
Moving on: all 4
Smooth Soul: Daniel Farmer, Joy Dove, Lindita
"Domino" by Jessie J
OK, so this is the comedy group! We all know that Daniel is full of himself and always cracking a joke. Joy Dove (you remember her from the audition the girl who couldn't stop clapping her name) - she proceeds to take her shoes off because they are the devil. Harry said they have enough soul without those soles. Ha! They asked if they looked for a 4th member and they said that they thought about looking for another male, but found out that Daniel was enough man for all of them. Ha! They all have good voices, but I think they spent more time goofing off than trying to actually learn the song. It's very rough around the edges. Lindita is clearly the best singer of the 3 and she blew a gasket at the end on those last notes! Harry couldn't believe that Joy let Lindita finish the song like that.
Moving on: Joy, Lindita
Los Barriquas: Eliz Camacho, Gianna Isabella, Dana Ordway
"Hit 'Em Up Style" by Blu Cantrell
They obviously had some major problems. Gianna forgot a bunch of words unfortunately. Eliz and Dana, who we haven't really seen yet, have good voices. When they weren't messing up, I liked what they did with the song.
Moving on: Gianna, Dana
Good Vibes: Joe Dahman, Alesana Tolai, Olivia Thai, Jessica Paige
"Me and My Broken Heart" by Rixton
Great song! Why didn't more groups choose this song! It's one of my favorites, so kudos to this group for picking it! But...it's a very hard song. They didn't do as good of a job as I would have liked. It's such a peppy song, and Harry was right that they seemed sad and complacent.
Moving on: Jessica
CJ Johnson, Jess Kellner, Jessica Baker, Zach Joseph
"Renegades" by X Ambassadors
It was OK, but not great.
Moving on: Joe, Jess, Jessica
Thomas Muglia, Joey Hendricks, Bryson Dunn, Thomas Stringfellow
"Renegades" by X Ambassadors
We heard this song back-to-back, and this group did something kind of cool with it. It's not a very upbeat song, but they slowed it down a little more and it really suited all of their voices. Thomas Stringfellow is the only one I recognize, but they all sounded really good. There were times that they didn't quite sound good all the time together, though.
Moving on: Thomas and Thomas
Rebirth: Manny Torres, Malie Delgado, Christian Eason
"Too Close" by Alex Clare
I go the goosies!!! This group! Holy crap! I think it might be the best of the night! I just adore Manny. His voice is so amazing. I loved his opening and Malie and Christian's backgrounds...that was just cool! They all sounded great individually, and even better harmonizing! That was an absolutely killer performance. They performed the heck out of that song. Wow...just wow!
Moving on: all 3
Soul Cats: Laurel Wright, Marshall Cunningham, Drew Angus, John Arthur Greene
"Stayin' Alive" by The BeeGees
Yikes! Forgotten lyrics all over the place. That was a train wreck.
Moving on: Laurel, Marshall
The Sistas - La'Porsha Renae, Tonie Starr, Marlena Johnson
"Stayin' Alive" by The BeeGees
After Shelbie Z abandoned them, La'Porsha decided to have pity on them and left Rebirth to join The Sistas. She looks like she should have been with them all along. And why was Shelbie with that group? She's all country and they are all R&B...doesn't seem like the right fit, and probably why she left. So, they saved this group til last, so I'm sure it's because they all make it. It's clear they are trying to make us love La'Porsha by all the air time she has gotten so far this season. I will say they harmonized very well. It was actually a really good performance. They even had some good choreography. They were worried about messing up the words, and they did good until Marlena. She forgot a lot of them, but she did what the last group didn't do, which was keep singing and make it sound good, and not look like she was forgetting the words.
Moving on: all 3
Leaving without much explanation:
Josiah Siska - the guy with the extremely deep voice
Jaci Butler - green hair girl who should have never made it past last night's performance
Brian Dale Brown - the guy who does Scooby Do and did the most ridiculous, over the top version of "Unchained Melody"
Next week...
OK, I'm really nervous. We didn't technically see Adam Lasher's group performance. He was included in a montage with the theme of bad dancing/choreography. Nothing was specifically said who went through and who was eliminated. Does that mean he didn't make it?
And, I'm scared for Dalton...the preview for the next episode showed him having trouble with his guitar and saying "it all went downhill from there". Oh no! Please tell me he's OK!!
We still have yet to see Brandyn Burnette. I think I briefly saw Joseph Wicker (aka Ryan Gosling look-a-like), but he wasn't in a group that we saw. So maybe...just maybe...Adam and John Wayne are still there? Crossing my fingers!
And what about Emily Brooke? So many questions!
