Here's my nobela mode reply
:
Team APL (Guji and Grace vs Thristan) - Umpisa pa lang, di na ko impressed with the duo. Guji was good, but nothing exceptional. Grace was pretty, had an ok voice - together, well, waley pa din ako naramdaman. Ganun din sila in this round. So even if Thristan was pitchy in so many parts, nag-shine pa din ang potential nya over the duo. Oh well, the two can get their break from somewhere else now - they have connections naman eh. They got a good intro na through The Voice.
APL's battle round was the most so-so for me.
Team Bamboo (Lee Grane vs Dan) - Nalurkey ako kay Bamboo sa pairing na ito. Di ko gets. And then he chose a song that's more rock than anything else. So sabi ko, ay advantage ni Dan ito, and let's wait and see what Lee does with it. Sa battle, obvious na Dan was comfortable with the song. Pero personally, his performance wasn't anything exceptional. He sang it the way any other singer in his genre would. He did better than Lee Grane though. Lee Grane was obviously struggling the entire time. She had her shining moments here and there, pero hindi consistent. Hirap naman nga i-adapt ng style nya sa song na yun, tapos may kasabay pa sya kumanta. BUT I think Bamboo chose Lee in this round, not because she was better, but simply because Lee is his investment for future battle rounds, she has that 'something' that Dan didn't. Sana nga lang sa katulad na lang na genre ni Lee sya na-ipair para Bamboo could have plucked out the less stellar performer in that genre. Sayang si Dan.
Team Sarah (Morissete vs Lecelle) - Good move on the pairing by Sarah in the sense na these two are in the same music genre - and Sarah has to have the better one on her team, the battle round was the perfect way to find out who will outshine the other. Mas may soul and power ang boses ni Morissette. Lecelle's voice tended to be manipis and flat na sa high notes (naks feeling marunong sa music. hehe). So good choice for this round SG.
Team Lea (Mitoy vs Chien) - Another good pairing, kudos to Lea. Chien had a really powerful voice, kaya lang parang kabadong-kabado sya so she wasn't able to perform very well. Siguro kung hindi sya kinabahan, natapatan nya mabuti si Mitoy. Kitang-kita kasi na there was a lot going on in her mind so she wasn't able to set free the super biritera in her. Mitoy was obviously very comfortable na on stage. The way he sang, he hit every note wonderfully, walang kaba - like he sings like that every single day of his life. So vocally, Chien may have had the better voice, but Mitoy's experience definitely gave him a double advantage - stage presence and flawless delivery. At personally, I'm impressed with how a guy can 'birit' like that. Nakakaaaloooka.
Naaliw naman ako sa The Voice, more aliw than PGT or X-Factor.
Pero naisip ko din, naku baka Pasko pa matapos ang show na ito pag ganitong one pair per team per weekend. Hehe.
