"People are stepping it up The Voice right now. American Idol needs to have some of what they&amp;#x27;re having. Well, except for one of them.We&amp;#x27;re not gonna talk about the judges&amp;#x27; performances, because those remind me of seeing your teacher outside of school when you&amp;#x27;re little. They just made me want to hide. We will talk those brutal instant eliminations in a sec, but first--here&amp;#x27;s how the performances tonight broke down for me. Team made-me-cry Jesse Campbell sang &amp;quot;Halo&amp;quot; surrounded by blown-up pics of his daughter. I was a sucker for this from moment one, and I like to think Beyonce herself would have been sniffling at this rendition. Jordis Unga took my breath away with &amp;quot;Little Bit Stronger&amp;quot;--she looked gorgeous, showed vulnerability and restraint, and showed that all it takes is a serious set of pipes to hit it out of the park. Team brought-it-hard RaeLynn... forget her sassy stage presence and sultry voice. There should be a special prize for getting all the lyrics of &amp;quot;She&amp;#x27;s Country&amp;quot; right. Ashley de la Rosa and her &amp;quot;Foolish games.&amp;quot; She really earned that fog machine. I haven&amp;#x27;t heard that song since I bought the Batman &amp;amp; Robin motion picture soundtrack to impress a boy in sixth grade. (And that&amp;#x27;s literally where I maxed out on doing things to impress boys.) Jermaine Paul sang &amp;quot;Against all Odds&amp;quot; with freakish perfection--like, Phil Collins would be jealous. Just watch. Team boring Erin Willett. Something just didn&amp;#x27;t do it for me--it was just kind of meh. I mean, doing it like Adele and not actually being Adele? Losing battle. Best part of this for me was Adam Levine saying of the pyrotechnics: &amp;quot;I get very Jewish when the fire comes down. I was worried about you.&amp;quot; Lindsey Pavao &amp;quot;Part of Me.&amp;quot; I think she&amp;#x27;s talented, but this song was boring. Bo-ring. Even the mesh-clad and facepainted dancers were boring, because she just had a bunch of beaknose masked backups last week. It&amp;#x27;s becoming a thing. We should probably not let it become a thing. Team Il Divo meets Phantom of the Opera Chris Mann&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Viva la Vida&amp;quot; was spooky. Violinists were runway-stomping around with mean looks on their faces. I don&amp;#x27;t know. I&amp;#x27;m sorry, Chris. I was creeped. So who did Christina and Blake lower the boom on in the instant eliminations? SPOOOOOILERS! (--Sang as Chris Mann.) Christina cut Jesse. Whoa. I thought Pavao for sure. Blake eliminated Jordis. (For the record, Adam shook his head vigorously.) What&amp;#x27;d you think of the judges&amp;#x27; choices? They don&amp;#x27;t exactly jibe with my teams, huh? Angelina Jolie + Celine Dion = THIS Amazing Voice Contestant I&amp;#x27;m Now Wholly Obsessed With Why Was Christina Aguilera So Mean to Tony Lucca on The Voice Last Night? And Does Justin Timberlake Have Something to Do With It? Adam Levine Is Taking Over Your Television Set. Read About the Acting Role (Yes, Acting!) He&amp;#x27;s ThisClose To Landing...
