Idol Chatter & Voice Views

If you expect to be missing Austin Jenckes or Kat Robichaud when The Voice Top 8 take the stage Monday night, there’s no reason to.

Just head to iTunes and check out the music they’ve already released.

In jettisoning Austin and Kat during Top 10 week, viewers continued to eliminate some of the more experienced musicians on the show.

Austin released a solo album in 2010 called “Coming of Age” and a solo EP in 2012 called “An American Story.” He’s also featured on a 2011 album called “Austin Jenckes and the First Call,” but you’ll need to go to bandcamp.com to download that one.

As for Kat, she recorded a pair of albums with a North Carolina rock band called The Design — “Laziest Perfectionist” in 2008 and “Young America” in 2011.

Of course, after their run on The Voice, both are hoping to record more music.

Says Austin in his Voice farewell video: “I know now that I can go out and put out the exact record that I want to put out and I know people will be behind it.”

He promises fans he’ll be touring “constantly.” In fact, he already has a number of gigs lined up.

“I didn’t think I would make it this far,” he said of making The Voice’s Top 10. “I mean, I thought it was possible, but I wasn’t banking on it, that’s for sure.”

Kat told Entertainment Weekly that she’s looking forward to putting out a “badass” rock album, albeit hopefully with the support of a record label this time around.

And in her Voice farewell video, she says she’d love to collaborate with Cee Lo again sometime, describing him as a “cool dude” and “a very giving person.”

“He and I are kindred spirits,” she says. “We both know what it’s like to be different and feel like we don’t belong anywhere.”

One of the great things about her time on The Voice, Kat says, “is that instead of overcoming being different, I think that I managed to find a lot of people who feel different, too, and we were able to connect in that way.”

She pointed to her last two performances — “Sail” and “We Belong” — as her favorite moments on the show because “I think I got to show people who I really am.”

Now, if you haven’t heard the pre-show music from Kat and Austin, here’s a sample.
