Well...this isn't how I thought the night was going to go on The Voice. On this season's first elimination episode, someone who I thought would sail through to next week, someone who initiated shoe throwing last night, someone I never even pegged to be in the bottom 2 was sent packing this evening. We also had some team performances tonight as well as some guest stars, but here's how everything shook out in the hour:
The non-competition performances this evening were actually very good. J-Hud and her team did a lovely rendition of "Let It Be," and Team Blake collaborated on Hank Williams Jr.'s "If It Will, It Will." Maroon 5 took the stage later in the evening to treat us to "What Lovers Do," and the awesome ladies of Pitch Perfect 3 joined forces with the Top 12 for a music video mashup of "Freedom! '90" and "Cups." This was my favorite part of the night.
Results! Addison was sent to safety first, and she was followed by Noah and Chloe. Brooke's name was announced next and all four coaches had their first round of contestants make it through to the Top 11. Keisha, Shi'Ann and Janice also advanced, and the closer we got to the end, the more I thought Red and Adam would be rounding out the bottom 2. Not quite. Davon, Ashland and Red were the final contestants to celebrate, leaving Adam and JON in the Stupid Twitter Save contest.
Adam was up first, choosing "Fortunate Son" as his "save me" song. He was far more in the zone tonight and I imagine song choice had a lot to do with it. He wasn't going down without a fight. Jon went with "I Want You Back," which did not do him any favors. He seemed so concerned with energy, strutting and swag that I couldn't understand a lot of what he was singing....other than the very repetitive "ooh, ooh, oohs" and "yeah, yeah, yeahs" and "na, na, nas." Buddy. I think you blew it. In the end, Adam won the Stupid Twitter Save and we said goodbye to Jon. I wasn't rooting for Jon to win the whole competition or anything, but I was hoping to see him stick around for a while. Oh well.
Next week the Top 11 will take the stage again and the Top 10 will be revealed. Will Adam bounce back and gain confidence after America saved him tonight? Will Jennifer, Miley and Blake keep their teams intact? And will the wardrobe department coordinate shoes that will consistently make it to the stage when they are thrown? We'll find out when the competition resumes. Til then!
