The Voice 10 went LIVE tonight with Part 1 of the Playoffs! Team Blake Shelton and Team Christina Aguilera were up first with performances. They also brought back one eliminated contestant each. Blake reached back to the Battle Rounds to rescue Justin Whisnant and Christina plucked Nick Hagelin, a singer whom she never worked with, out of the abyss.
Twelve singers in all competed on tonight’s show. With Christina’s team on deck, there was some pretty strong talent that took the live stage. Alisan Porter, Adam Wakefield, Brian Bautista were the standouts. But Nick Hagelin, Ryan Quinn and Paxton Ingram were also competitive.
Paxton’s iTunes sales are bombing. Performing first couldn’t have helped him. Kata Hay and Tamar Davis both oversang. I blame the latter on Christina. She kept pushing Tamar to perform adventurous runs, and she botched them. Kata managed to keep it together last week, but once again she was out of control when she hit the stage.
Check out the current iTunes standing and take the polls!

Alisan JUST missed the 10x voting bonus given to contestants who make the iTunes Top 10. No worries. She’ll get their soon enough. She’s a shoe in for the finals, and that’s all that matters at this point.
