The Daily Tea

  It’s time for Night Four of The Voice Season 19 Blind Auditions. So far we’ve seen some amazing talent, but we’ll see less and less chair turns as it gets closer to the battle rounds   We begin with last night’s cliffhanger.  Desz  received a four chair turn and was left with the agonizing decision of which coach to pick. In the end she chose  Team Kelly . Now it’s time for tonight’s blind auditions.  Olivia Reyes - Falling by Harry Styles  She’s half Dominican and half Puerto Rican so culture is big in her family. She never sang in public. Her best friend signed her up to audition without her knowing. Ooh her frienx’s dad is actually Season 2 winner  Jermaine Paul . Olivia has a great voice. She hits the high notes very well. She’s very current which is good. John and Gwen both turn for her. John said her tone was so crystal clear. Gwen said it’s not only about the singing but also your story and she’d love her on Team Gwen. Olivia tells the coaches her friend’s dad is Jermaine. I b

  It’s time for Part 3 of the Blind Auditions  Ooh it’s a funny opening bit With the coaches goofing off and using cameras and setting up lights. The pandemic is making it hard for the coaches. Ha! Rio Souma - Crusin’ by Smokey Robinson  Rio was born and raised in Detroit where he works on the assembly line at the Chrysler plant. He’s wanted to become a singer since he was little. He’s also willing to leave his job if he has to.  He’s got a great voice. Love his Falsetto. Gwen, John, and Kelly turn pretty quickly. Kelly says he has an incredible gift. Blake did hit his button didn’t know which direction to steer him. He’s also never heard the song. John gives Rio a lesson on the history of the song. John said he nailed the song. Gwen said he sounds professional. Rio started singing after watching Sister Act 2.  Rio picks John.  Kelly jokes that they have to sing something from Sister Act 2 if he makes the finale.  Ryan Berg - Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer  I joined it la

  It’s time for Halloween themed Villains Night. Tonight the 10 remaining couples performed for your votes and at the end of the night one couple went home. The show opens with a fun found footage intro. I’m actually tired of these corny cold opens. This isn’t SNL people.  Tyra walks out looking like a horror film reject. Oh wait I forgot she was in Halloween Resurrection. No wonder the movie failed. Lol  Anyway let’s get started  Jeannie Mai & Brandon - Paso Doble inspired by Hannibal Lector - Maneater by Nelly Furtado  This routine is deliciously fun. Great routine by Jeannie. The choreography is amazing here. Ooh the judges are dressed up. Carrie Ann is Pennywise, Derek is Dr Jekyll & and Mr Hyde, and Bruno is Beetlejuice. Derek called it an amazing paso doble. Bruno said she was irresistible to watch but she needed a rabies show. He also said she needed to work on extending the lines. Carrie Ann popped a balloon and called it incredible, and loved the excitement.  Scores: C

  And here we go. The second night of Blind Auditions of the voice.  The show opens with John, Kelly, and Gwen talking about how many seasons Blake has won. Blake walks in wearing a robe and crown, lol  Let’s start  Taryn Papa - Anyway by Martina McBride Taryn is 30 and is from Nashville, Tennessee. Their family used to sing together. Her and her grandpa were close. He eventually got Alzheimer’s. Her grandpa has passed and she moved to Nashville after that. She is in a country band and they perform at Ol Red’s in Nashville.   She has a gorgeous country voice. Blake turns around first followed by Kelly. Oop Kelly is blocked. Gwen turns last. I’m surprised John didn’t turn, but he really doesn’t stand a chance. Kelly is shocked that she got blocked. Blake brags he’s the only coach who knows who sings Anyway. Ha! Gwen loved how she sang in the moment and feels they could work really well together. They just need to stop. Blake is taking her. Blake says there’s no current female vocalist t

  Another week of dancing   The show starts off with a fun bit as Derek Hough is getting a performance review.  Tyra opens the show wearing a flashy outfit as usual.  Judge Derek Hough is dancing tonight as well so it should be fun  Johnny Weir & Britt - Salsa - On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez  Well it’s not as good as last week but a real entertaining dance. I’m not seeing the consistency I thought I would with Johnny. I guess I expect more from a figure skater. Derek said there were a few misses. Bruno loves the costume and said it needed more grounded hip action. Carrie Ann said it wasn’t his best dance, but he found it towards the end  Scores: Carrie Ann - 7 Derek - 8 Bruno - 7  Total: 22/30 Nev Schuman & Jenna - Jazz - Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch  Lol. Jenna had no idea Marky Mark and Mark Wahlburg were the same person. Another great routine from Nev. He’s one of the biggest surprises of the season. He gets better each week. Bruno called the routine de
