The Voice Season 5

Jacquie Lee starting to live up to that massive potential.



We haven't had a 16 year old on one of these shows liker her since Allison. I wouldn't call the girls "bots"...I think that's a little cruel and pretty sexist. I think Danielle had Scotty's laid back personality, Jessica was shy, Hollie was nervous, and Lauren had performance ADD. And often they let that shine through their performances instead of infusing it with energy and emotion. (Despite their incredible talent.) Here, you could tell she felt that song, really felt it, even if she might not fully connect with the lyrics.

She can still get a bit shrill (but there's massive improvement.) But I didn't even mind it here, because letting her voice get "ugly" goes with the song. And that note at the end...woah.. (As Melinda and Slezak would say, I'm still throwing my shoes at her..12 hours later.)

Matthew was great. He's a great singer. Great performer. He's got a lot of energy and charisma about him. And he's pretty adorable. I thought Bandzilla got him. (They really need to do something about that. Bandzilla took down Christina last night too. And if you are taking down Christina - and last season Usher - something needs to be done..)

Caroline is really sweet. I know she's quite popular now, but I wonder how long that'll last. (like Didi on AI.)

I also really like Stephanie's voice. I hope Christina picks her as her third. And there's something I like about Jonny, even if he's not that good.
