And we’re back, everyone! Christina Aguilera and a Great Big World, “Say Something”Why is Christina performing again? What is going on? Is she blackmailing someone? Who are these anonymous “breakout song writers”? (One of them has a particularly interesting Richard Simmons thing going on.) What is Christina’s cool hat? We got no context for any of it. This song was really beautiful, though. I could imagine listening to it on a particularly self-pitying day.Amber Nicole, “Wasting All These Tears on You”Lord. Sometimes I am impressed with the depths of This Is the Voice’s marketing machine. Making poor Amber sing Cassadee Pope’s weird alt-pop-country song that was not a hit? It was a genius sort of torture. Amber is really talented, but she had serious pitch problems on much of this one (and not just that last, especially wonky, note). I was surprised! Honestly.

Wow, guys. They really saved the worst for last on this show. Amirite? There wasn’t a single battle that stood out to me at all. They were all sort of meh. Plus, they put two Cher advisory segments and a “Torn” performance into a montage? It’s like, do you hear the people sing? They are singing to hear the full version of “Torn.”Shawn Smith vs. Johnny Gray, “Refugee”This is one of my favorite Tom Petty songs, because I have bad taste in classic rock. I’m sure if a real music critic heard me say that, they would tell me that was the worst song Tom Petty ever wrote. Apparently Cee Lo gave the song to Shawn and Johnny (two ex-military guys) because it is about “liberty, freedom, and justice.” However, if you look at the lyrics of the song, Cee Lo’s claim makes absolutely no sense at all.
