I’m sure many of you have watched reality TV before. I am an avid consumer of reality competition shows like" Dancing With The Stars" (my favorite) and now "The Voice." I used to watch American Idol and "The Voice" religiously a few years ago but I slowly stopped. However, I was bored out of my mind the other day and had nothing better to do so I began watching this season of "The Voice," Season 14, on Hulu.
My favorite part of this show has always been the Blind Auditions. The talent comes on stage and the judges cannot see them. They start to sing, and if a judge likes them they hit their button and their chair turns around. If more than one judge turns, the talent gets to choose which judge they want to go with. This year, however, they have added a twist: the block! Each judge gets to block one other judge when they turn around for a contestant. This has added a whole new level of hilarity. Also, I’ve always loved seeing the talents’ stories before they go on stage and then hearing them belt out the songs with all of their passion.
Over the years the judges have changed but the two constants have been Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who have this hilarious competitive friendship. They feed off of each others’ energy. The things that they say when battling over talent can be hilarious! However, this season I am really rooting for Team Kelly Clarkson.
I’ve looked up to Kelly since I was a little girl. Her music, no matter what genre she is leaning towards at any given time, has always spoken to me. Most recently, every time I see her perform Piece By Piece I cry. I cry for what she had to experience. I cry for how powerfully she sings. I just cry. This is her first season as a coach and I am looking forward to seeing how she interacts with her team and how she helps them succeed.
The Blind Auditions are over and the Battle Round begin!
