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: Out Seeking Glory

Tonight the Top 10 contestants were revealed and I can't say I'm thrilled about the results. We said goodbye to one artist, two teams took the stage to perform, and we welcomed back a familiar face to The Voice stage. Here are the highlights. 

Team Alicia collaborated on a pretty fantastic version of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and there were pianos everywhere! Not being a pianist, Chris was off singing on a side stage for a bit...but to be fair, I don't think he was looking for anyone to make him feel like a natural woman. Team Gwen went with the totally depressing song choice of "Fix You," but the result was moving and lovely. I really, really enjoyed this. Former The Voice champion Alison Porter performed her new song, "Deep Water," which I had not yet heard but immediately downloaded. Here's hoping she finds some true success in the music world. If not, I would 100% buy a ticket to see Curly Sue 2

Results! Lauren was sent to safety first and she was quickly followed by Jesse and Chris. The next person to breathe a sigh of relief was Brennley, and Aliyah and Lilli joined her in the Top 10. The last contestants to make it through were Vanessa, Hunter, and TSoul, leaving Marky Mark and Stephanie in the bottom 2. 

Stephanie chose "Issues" in her efforts to win the Stupid Twitter Save and the title gave me a giggle since, you know, it was supposed to be her "save me" song. There were no "issues" with this performance though - this tune suited her well and I was very happy to see her rise to the occasion. Marky Mark went with "7 Years" which was better than last night's attempt at Lil Wayne...but not too much better. It was time for this kid to go, right? Right? Alas, Marky Mark was the proud recipient of the Stupid Twitter Save and we bid adieu to the haunting, different, special Stephanie Rice. Bummer. 

Next week these hopefuls compete again as we head into a double elimination scenario. Will Marky Mark really make it into the Top 8? Will Blake and Adam continue on with full teams again while the ladies fight to keep their two artists in the competition? We'll see what happens when the Top 10 duke it out on Monday. Til then!
