Blind Auditions From The Voice
Do you have a favorite, feel-good television?
When I’m ready to unwind, I turn on The Voice! I’ve been a fan since its inception! Are there any other Voice fans among us?
India Carney – New York State Of Mind
For those of you unfamiliar with the show, talented contestants of all ages perform – sight unseen – before a panel of celebrity judges who decide, based on what they hear, if they want the contestant on their team. Once they press their button, they can turn the chair and watch the performance – and then, the contestant gets to choose which judge (if they were lucky enough to turn multiple chairs) they will choose for their coach.
Sawyer Fredericks – I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
Watching the dynamics between the judges is a hoot – but that’s only part of the fun. Once the teams are picked, there are battle rounds and coach steals, before the live television voting even begins!
Corey Wickline – He Stopped Loving Her Today
Based on the preliminary blind auditions, I am looking forward to another exciting season!
I thought I’d share a few of my favorite auditions with you this week (mind you, this is only a few – there have been some talented performances to date!)
Who are your favorites so far? Be sure to leave a comment – I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Corey Kent White – Chicken Fried
Enjoy the music and have a wonderful week!

We have been watching Voice since the first series and love everyone, they always have such great talent and of course love the coaches, Im liking this combination this season, they work well off each other. I know he is young and very naive but Im thinking Sawyer has a good chance at staying for a good long time.
Thanks for hosting, hope you have a great week!

I think Sawyer will go far. I love those 4 chair turns! I love watching the coach interaction just about as much as I enjoy watching the talent!
Have a great week and thanks for sharing your Voice thoughts!

I don’t mind watching the voice we have just got passed the blind auditions here in the UK
I quite like Britain’s Got Talent 🙂
Have a voicetastic week 🙂

We are about to close the blind auditions and move into the battle rounds in the US!
The battle rounds are actually both thrilling and heartbreaking for me. Thrilling because you see some of the best performances of the season there – but heartbreaking because, invariably, you always lose someone you think should move forward.
The coaches don’t always get it right – thankfully there are the steals – can’t wait to see what this season holds!
Thanks so much for having and hosting this party every week!
Thanks for the party Ramona! I have not watched the Voice before, I think I need to check it out, my 7 year old son would probably enjoy it too as he loves to sing. Have a wonderful week 🙂

Joy, I hope you get a chance to check it out – it’s so much fun!
I just watched a preview of one of the upcoming battle rounds with another one of the guys that I liked –
If you check it out, be sure to let me know what you think! 🙂
Thanks for hosting. I like the journal and the friends coffee cup card. And, I’ve started to watch the voice a little and that Sawyer kid can really sing. Hope he does well.
Have a great week.

I’m always honored to have my humble artwork featured in your blog. Blessings!
Man those folks have got some lungs but I have to go with India Carney right now!
Great picks to start off Monday!
We started watching The Voice last season and sorta got hooked on it. Mostly, it was the judges interactions that won me over because in the past I never thought they had near the talent on the show to draw me in, but I’m finding I now prefer The Voice over AI. Talk about a switch-a-roo! Anywho, I think of the your high lighted picks ~ India and Corey show tremendous promise in the competition and it’ll be fun to see how far they go.

Season 1 was limited but it has just grown from there! I also love watching the judges interact – that makes it so much fun!
I thought India stood out among the women and wasn’t Corey fun?
I could have easily doubled the amount of picks I featured – but then I’d need another post!
Thanks for hosting an awesome linkup!
Great tunes for this Monday. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for hosting! I was really late linking up this week. I was wondering what time your link begins. Have a great week!
