Christina and Lionel Richie worked with Jesse to prepare for the battle. The biggest critique was to make sure he didn't outdo himself. Jewel and Christina worked with Anthony to prepare. The only worry Jewel had was that Anthony could cloud the emotional prowess of the song by being really technical, she told him to keep it simple to really enforce the emotion.
They performed a breathtaking performance! It was a good battle to end the first episode of battles. Their voices melded together beautifully and had similar tonal quality which allowed the audience to connect to the entire song emotionally, instead of perhaps only connecting while one of the contestants is singing. Some of the notes they hit gave me goosebumps and if one of them doesn't win, I imagine they could have a very successful career as a duet.
They were so good Cee Lo couldn't decide, Blake and Adam both chose Jesse, but in the end it was Christina's choice. It didn't really matter who she chose because they were both sooo amazing, but the range of the man she chose and the overall attitude makes him the better choice to move forward in the competition with him on her team.
This video does not contain the critiques or Christina's final decision. If you wish to watch the full video you can find it on YouTube.
So if you had to choose who would it be? Or should they become a duet when the show is over?
Keep the writing strong, Morgan. Be sure to read your drafts aloud before you post them. Lines like "They performed a breathtaking performance!" would stick out to you to revise. Also push yourself to use metaphors to describe the singing. Some of the adjectives you use mean different things to different people. Push to clarify what you mean and keep the language fresh.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is great! You describe what happens throughout the show perfectly. I really enjoy how you describe the contestants and incorporate your perspective of what you think should happen, while at the same time providing room for participation from your blog readers(asking their opinions at the end).
ReplyDeleteTHIS BLOG IS HORRIBLE! I absolutely hate everything about this show. This is a stupid spin-off from another horrible show, American Idol. All the judges and contestants suck and they have no business to be on television except to be made fun of. I hope you do not enjoy this show at all because it is absolutely horrible. Way to go, this is your first blog and it totally sucks. You might as well stop now and quit wasting space on the internet. (BTW Great Blog; I just used everything I thought about your blog and reversed it to sound negative)
ReplyDeleteThis post did not draw me into a desire to read the rest of the post. When I'm reading online, I want to be captured out of my busy browsing and feel obligated to read the entire post. In other words, if I was stumbling and this popped up, I would not have made it all the way through before I clicked stumble.
