I enjoy it. I like to evaluate the performances and see if I can predict the winners.

They replaces my two favorite coaches this season. But I like the replacements even more. Shakira is very funny and charming.

My favorites this time are

Monique Abbadie

She is bilingual, a flawless and emotional vocalist and and experienced performer very comfortable on stage. I pick her as most likely to win.

Warren Stone

This guy literally is one of the best make country vocalists I have ever heard. He did a Zach Brown band song without backing vocals and out sang Zach and his whole band. A very strong contender, probably top 4 material.

Ryan Innes

I just enjoy this guy's voice. I think he'll be top 8, but in the end it comes down to little girls voting and downloaded songs.

Usher has a number of superb R&B people on his team. But I don't know enough about the genre to say who is better.

There is girl named Danielle Bradbery on Blake's team who stands out a little for cuteness, the rest seem pretty even.

There is a duo on Adams called Midas Whale on Adam's team who are a lot of fun. I'd go to see them if they played here.

BTW there is a "The Voice Australia" apparently. Is there a verion in any other countries?
