So there are many of you who loyally watch these shows and, like me, make continual comments to the television whether anyone else is in the room or not. Alternately, there are many of you who do not have the time to keep up with reality TV – there are too many shows, your tivos runneth over, you have kids and can’t remember what it’s like to watch anything beyond Dora the Explorer (you know who you are) – but you also want to be “in the know.” That’s fine. Let me help you understand.

The Voice Top 11 Eliminations: Give In And Cry

Tonight another hopeful on The Voice was sent packing and fortunately this elimination did not have me yelling at my TV this week. This elimination hour was not super eventful, but here are the highlights.... 

Thomas Rhett took the stage to perform his hit "T-Shirt" and he is just a beautiful man. Team Pharrell collaborated for a group rendition of Lenny Kravitz's "Let Love Rule," and Team Xtina entertained us with their performance of "Live and Let Die." I can't remember the last team performance I enjoyed this much. Totally bad ass. 

Results! Carson sent Mary Sarah to safety first, and she was soon followed by Nick(!), Laith, and Alisan. At the 25 minute mark, Hannah's name was announced and Paxton joined her before we went to the next commercial break.  The final contestants to make it through to the Top 10 without the Stupid Twitter Save were Shalyah, Adam and Brian...which left Owen and Daniel duking it out in the bottom 2.  

Daniel chose Nick Jonas' "Jealous" for his "save me" song and while he had some great vocals, he also had zero swag which you totally need in order to sell this song. Owen went with "Burning House" in his effort to win the Stupid Twitter Save, and though I generally love that song, it did not do Owen any favors vocally. Poor guy tried a little too hard and definitely had some 'whoops' moments with those notes and lyrics.  In the end, Daniel won the Stupid Twitter Save and rightfully so. I'm not losing any sleep over this one. 

Next week Team Xtina and Team Blake will take the stage completely in tact and Team Adam and Team Pharrell both go into the Top 10 with two members each. Can they hang on to their two artists? Will one team start to clearly dominate? We'll see what happens when the contestants face off again. Til then!
