I like them too. Glad all 4 coaches are really interested in the candidates. It's really different this year. Xtina was always focusing on herself and Ce-lo was a bit weird.

I like Sarah and Judith Hill and Adam got both of them. Seems to be holding back trying to get a better team.
Here is Judith:

Love the new judges!!

Since the Voice started I'm losing some interest in Idol. I love the blind audition rounds and the judges.

Sarah Steele's my favorite as of now.

I agree, since The Voice started I find AI almost amateurish, meaning great for the younger people. This show seems so much more grown up.
I love the 2 new judges, I think they will add more to the show then Xtina and CeLo.

The Blind rounds are my favorite.

It does appear that way. However, which churns out megastars? None of the winners of xfactor or the voice have made a splash the way quite a few a AI winners and runner ups have... or even in the top six. Its amazing actually how many have been a success.

AI has been on 12 years and this is the Voice's 4th season. The 2 finalists IMO that made it big time from AI are Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.

Some made it bigger then the ones that were chosen finalists from their season and with no help from the Judges. example Jennifer Hudson, Simon told her that she would be good singing on cruise ships. ha ha I guess she sure proved him wrong. Love her by the way.

Chris Mann has done very well since he was on the Voice..

It's only been a few months since Cassidee Pope won Season 3 of The Voice and she is on tour and opening for Rascal Flatts. It's only a matter of time for her. She is incredible.

Really? Phillip Phillips just went platinum. Katherine McPhee is on a successful show. David Cook had some great success (at first) and sold over a million, Adam Lambert is famous worldwide, several AI have successful broadway careers, Colton Dixon is megastar in christian music, etc, etc, etc,

who am I missing? My point is that even some non winners have achieved success through AI as the venue of exposure. But I don't hear of xfactor and the voice. And I am a big fan of both along with AI. I've been such a fan of all the winners in xfactor /the voice and top placers in all and am disappointed that it has not been a splash for them.

Brill said "finalists" but yeah, Phillip is doing well, we'll see if as well with a second album. Another that has had success and he came in 4th was Chris Daughtry.

The Voice has yet to find someone anywhere near successful.

Phillip Phillips's single went Platinum but his album is gold. Still he has done better than I expected. There's no question Idol has done the best at helping it's winners & other contestants find levels of success than the other shows but for me it's lost it's appeal in recent seasons. Maybe it's all the WGWG winners. The Voice is just fresher and a more interesting format to me.

Kellie Pickler has also done well. My personal favorite is Chris Daughtry though.

Vicci Martinez's single seems to be doing well & is getting radio play. Cee Lo singing on it doesn't hurt. :Nod:

Excited for tonight's show! Love the caliber of talent they have and the commaraderie of the judges! Blake and Usher have become "bros" and it's cool to see him helping Usher out! Enjoy!

Adam seems to be getting the best talent this season. I have to go back and watch to post my comments. I was flipping between The Voice and DWTS so I missed some of the contestants. Anyone else watch?
