The Voice Has Begun and cold's won't quit!

Sam's Idol Recap: Feb 12 and 13

Well I got good news… Rounding off the top 30, or should I say 31 (I will explain)… is the deepest pool of country talent we’ve seen since Season 10, which of course came down to Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

This week’s 2 part show started with contestants performing solo. The judges then called them into a room one by one and let them know if they made the Top 30. Although, some contestants were called in as a pair, and were forced to perform on the spot to decide who stayed and who went. That must be tough, because you want to celebrate if you make it, or break down if you didn’t, but you still have the walk out and elevator ride down with the other contestant.

Nice guy Harry Connick Jr. wasn’t so nice this week, ranting about how he doesn’t care if contestants are sleep deprived or sick, that is part of show business.

Wednesday night ended with us on the edge of our seat as two of our beloved country singers were in the “decision” room together. Ironically, they live 45 minutes apart in Alabama, and have now become close friends. Turns out, the judges kept them both!

I may be a bad judge of voice, because I don’t have one, but I am just not agreeing with some of the people the judges sent through.

Thursday night helped finish off the top 30 (15 girls, 15 guys)… But not without a twist. Dun dun dun.. The show ended with the judges not being able to decide between Neco Starr and Ben Briley. And what do you know? They kept them both, not for good though, America will vote who stays and who goes! The results of that will be revealed next week Tuesday on the 3 night event.

Tuesday besides finding out what guy goes, which stays, all 15 women will sing, Wednesday all the men will sing, and Thursday will be the results show. Dang, Carson and I will have to chat fast next Friday, as I will have so much to update you all on after 3 nights!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.. Or Happy Single’s Awareness!
