As for the contestants, they were mostly fine, but just like every other The Voice episode, it was all about the judges and I thought they somehow carried the show pretty well. To be fair, I saw a couple of interesting singers in this episode.
Anyway, here's how the contestants did in this episode.
The Swon Brothers
American Girl
[TEAM BLAKE]
Can I say generic? Sure, I quite enjoyed their performance, but I didn't think they brought anything different to it. Oh, and fun fact, Colton Swon was an American Idol Season 7 reject. Just so you know. 6/10
Taylor Beckham
I'm Going Down
[TEAM USHER]
Ugh. There's something annoying and shrill about her tone - it reminded me of Cassadee Pope's high pitched tone - and I felt like she didn't do the song any justice. Her voice just didn't have the soul to pull it all off. 4/10
Karina Iglesias
I'm The Only One
[TEAM ADAM]
Eh. I wanted to like her, but she was WAY too screechy for my taste and it didn't compare favorably to some of the version I've heard before. 4.5/10
Garrett Gardner
Seven Nation Army
[TEAM SHAKIRA]
I'd give him extra points for the song choice, but I'd probably take it back for the strange arrangement and affectations. 5/10
Holly Tucker
To Make You Feel My Love
[TEAM BLAKE]
Holly Mother Tucker! She has a beautiful tone with some great vocal control, although her style was a bit Broadway for me. Still, she probably is one of the best singers tonight. 7/10
Michelle Chamuel
I Kissed A Girl
[TEAM USHER]
Very nice. I seriously enjoyed that. I love her voice, I thought the arrangement worked perfectly with the whole nerd power angle, and I can see her progress from nerdy to serious alternative rock force. Her journey should be fun to watch. 8/10
Monique Abbadie
Loca
[TEAM SHAKIRA]
She sure was a firecracker and I appreciated her song choice, but I don't know. She just hits middle ground for me. Not yet sold. 6.5/10
Warren Stone
Colder Weather
[TEAM ADAM]
I thought Warren did a nice job with this. I was a little iffy with his lower register as it needed a fuller sound with those notes, but that was just me nitpicking. I have a funny feeling he will go deep into this competition. 7.5/10

my favorite of the night was probably michelle. she surprised me by picking usher. should be interesting to watch her. i also remember garrett from last season and thought he did better this year. i dug it. lol. holly was good too! i liked most of the people on this episode.
Uhh ohh. I was expecting you'd like Loca girl. HAHA For me, the best tonight I don't know why. Maybe she's (so far) the most dangerous on Team Shakira! HAHA
