Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Hooray for The Voice.

Carson Daly and company finally found the upload button.

I’ve long chastised the show for not posting montaged performances online.

I mean, the cameras are obviously rolling when the montaged singers performed. To not edit and post a 90-second or 2-minute clip for the performance has always struck me as silly.

This season, for the first time, The Voice posted montaged blind auditions; there were only two — Davina Leone and Andrea Thomas.

But last week, the montaged battles weren’t posted.

This week?

Yep, they’re back. And as a bonus, The Voice also posted the battles we missed last week.

Nice job. Here they are.

FROM MONDAY’S SHOW

Hanne Eyre advanced on Team Adam; Stephanie Brook was eliminated. I probably would have done the opposite.

Enid Ortiz advanced on Team Blake; Valerie Ponzio, who turned four chairs in the blinds, was eliminated. Enid has a couple of vocal stumbles, but certainly delivered from the heart in that performance.

Troy Ramey advanced on Team Gwen; Jozy Bernadette was eliminated. This was a tough draw for Jozy; Troy turned four chairs in the blinds, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go deep into the live rounds.

FROM LAST TUESDAY

Andrea Thomas advanced on Team Blake; Micah Tryba was eliminated.

Aaliyah Rose advanced on Team Gwen; Savannah Leighton was eliminated.

Josh West advanced on Team Adam; Nala Price was eliminated.
