NBC's The Voice |OT| Carson Daly's still around?

Did they sign Daly to a 20 year contract back when TRL was hot or something? The guy has never shown me a drop of personality.
 
I just watched it and thought it was very entertaining and worth watching in the future...Christina is so hot and it looks like she's back on track after the divorce & Super Bowl mishap. But all of the judges were charismatic and to watch these major stars battle to work with the singers was fun.

Kind of disappointing how the people the producers called back were almost all good looking.

If it's all about the voice, I want some uggos with amazing voices, and seeing the judges reactions. When that pretty girl came on (the one with the million views online) I almost turned it off.

Still an interesting show.

Jeff, Rebecca, and Xenia are not hot. At all.

Christina got all the uglies, I thought that was pretty funny.

She kind of seems to have the worst team right now. Voice and looks wise. Maybe she'll pick up some better ones next week.

Levine has the best, and Cee Lo and Blake have pretty good teams as well.

Come on! Xenia is cute and her voice makes her hotter.

Wait, this was actually good? The overplayed commercials were so annoying that I made a point not to watch it.

This. Frankly, even if it is good, I will not watch it because I hate Carson and I hate NBC.

For those interested, she's the "social media guru" for this show.

Prior to this I knew her as a funny comedy podcast guest.

That the chick that used to fill in on Attack of the Show?

Anyway i like Carson Daly. His new format for Last Call is actually pretty descent and he captures a lot of first time on tv performances which i think is pretty cool.
 
This is such an awesome show. I love it!

Agreed, big time. The girl that sang Come As You Are is definitely going to get cut early. Otherwise, he has the two strongest contestants so far. Blake and Cee Lo have pretty solid teams, and Christina's is just bad.

I was more than ready to hate this show, but it surprised me. Adam is easily the most entertaining judge. Guy has great expressions and a ton of charisma. Blake (who I'd never heard of before the show) is second and comes off really well the whole time. Cee Lo just seems nice and Christina...well, I don't like her to begin with and nothing here has changed that. It's actually kind of nice to be able to root against someone right off the bat though.

I'm hoping the competitive aspect picks up as it goes on. That's what's missing for me so far, but there's plenty of time for it. Carson Daly, as good as he may be elsewhere, feels like a wet blanket. Guy is just not into it at all. The presentation screams American Idol ripoff, too. All minor things thankfully.

Also, dream panels anyone? Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Matthew Bellamy, Shania Twain. Why? Drama. Nothing but drama.

This makes things interesting for the X Factor. Between idol upping production values and The Voice having judges as coaches, the only gimmicks x-factor has left are groups and judge votes for elimination.

Yeah, it was pretty tactically brilliant by NBC to bring this out before X-Factor hit the US.
 
It's on again tonight. I'm really enjoying it. I've seen a good number of people on facebook talking about it. Looks like NBC has a hit on their hands.
 
damn. pretty girl ruined by a shitload of tattoos.

anyway, i wonder what the teams are about. does it turn into a regular singing competition after the teams are chosen?
 
They'll all pick 8 each, then each team will compete for four spots on each coach's final team, then it's pretty much like idol from there I think.

Just realized that NBC will have both The Voice and America's Got Talent on at the same time. People are really going to be burned out by the time X Factor gets here.
 
show was entertaining

but
um
by the end
the most interesting part
the blind audition
felt like the most pointless?
the producers brought in what, like 36 ppl?
and 32 got picked?

Haven't watched tonight's episode, but there's been a ton of buzz about it. It doesn't bode well for X-Factor...

I'm pretty certain there were far, far more blind auditions. They just only picked to show a few of the people who didn't get through who they thought were worth showing. Otherwise, plenty of people probably tried and never got shown on-air.

There was a short montage of singers that didn't make it during the second(?) hour.
 
Second episode was not as entertaining as the first. Not nearly as much bickering between the judges, especially since they all became very selective toward the end with a lot of people only getting one judge to buzz in.

I think the talent just wasn't as good. Very few stand-outs, comparably.

Also, from preliminary ratings, it looks like NBC has a winner:


But third-place NBC also has plenty to crow about courtesy of week two of singing competition The Voice, which perked up to an 8.1/12 from 9-11 p.m. Comparably, that built by eight percent from its stellar debut one week earlier (7.5/12 on April 26, which translated into 11.78 million viewers and a 5.1/13 among adults 18-49). Here is the half-hour breakdown:

The Voice (NBC)
9:00 p.m.: 7.7/11 (#3)
9:30 p.m.: 8.4/12 (#3)
10:00 p.m.: 8.3/13 (#2)
10:30 p.m.: 8.1/13 (#1)
Click to expand...

Again, these are household numbers, not 18-49. And The Voice skewed heaving young last week, so we'll see.

Also, interesting how The Voice's contestants are out before competing, while American Idol tends to discourage that.
 
If this remains a hit, then NBC will probably rush a season to begin next January, similar to how American Idol started. It will be interesting to see which of the two wins out.
 
Most of the studios records are online. Incidentally, I found a lot of the skipped talent to be better than what they showed on screen.

Also, I'm in love with Casey Weston. There's something about her voice that's so haunting.
 
The only parts of American Idol I watched were the auditions and the second step in the hotel but I really like this show. I love the coaches. Such a better idea than judges. I think I'll keep watching it.
 
Regarding thread title: Last Call is actually pretty decent.. I definitely record it on the nights I hear about a guest that interests me. He has great musical guests on there and seems like a real genuine guy on Twitter. I like Carson Daly.
 
I saw a commercial for the show that went like this:

Carson Daly - "The great thing about this show is there are no gimmicks."

Cut immediately to:

Country Superstar - "We sit in giant chairs with our backs to the singers."
 
Anybody else watching this tonight? They're moving on to the "battle rounds" - contestants pair off in duets, and only one moves on to the next round.
 
can't wait to see monica tonight

read somewhere christina got physically attacked by one of the girl's family that didn't get picked tonight
it must've been VERY minor, or NBC are fools for not exploiting this snooki moment

hope the contestants learned not to sing any miranda lambert or lady gaga song any more
if they want judges' support lol

u'r rite
forgot about those ppl
while i'm glad there wasn't a carnival of the suck
would've liked to seen more of the ppl that didn't make it
next season won't be as interesting knowing they're just showing ppl that got picked

Hell yeah. This show stomps all over Idol, it's not even funny. Idol seems so outdated compared to this.

Just what I was thinking about this making idol seem dated. I hope Frenchie makes it. Taralyn's voice was shrill.
 
Mostly waiting for the "Fuckin perfect" duet I overheard during a commercial a few nights ago... it better be on tonight. I dont wanna be watching this crap for nothin.
 
Good episode. Agree with all the picks EXCEPT Blake's. Really, the dude with the bow tie was leaps and bounds better than the country guy.

The "Stevie Nicks" girl is smokin hot and I think she also had the best voice of the bunch tonight.
 
i find it hilarious that, after 30 minutes of show, carson finally makes an appearance. i know i only heard his voice once before, but i dont think he was shown.

looks like producers are agreeing with GAF in that he is worthless lol

He announces the "contenders" and they show him here and there but yea hes mostly just a voice in the background. I dont love American Idol but Ryan Seacrest is a pretty decent host all things considered. Carson is just a dead stick. Just sitting there talking at the camera.
