Not only do they sound bad, but someone is going to win the show without ever having to sing live on national TV. They’ll be able to re-record their performances until they get it just right, and then TPTB will take those raw videos, and produce them as they see fit.

Tate Brusa ("The Scientist" by Coldplay) Team Legend Joanna Serenko ("Angel From Montgomery" by John Prine) VS. Zan Fiskum ("The Story" by Brandi Carlile) I originally thought Mike was sure to win his knockout, but I'm not too sure now based on his song choice. Doesn't he know that singing a Bruno Mars song is essentially the kiss of death on these singing shows? The only reason I still think he might win is because he was in the first battles episode, and first battle episode contestants don't lose their knockouts too often. My predictions: Joei vs. Levi Megan vs. Camm (STOLEN BY JOHN) Mike vs. Darious Todd vs. Cam Tate vs. Roderick Zan vs. Joanna (STOLEN BY BLAKE) Edited April 10, 2020 by indii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhapsody99 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 1 hour ago, TeamAudra said: Are you suggesting that Megan sounds better on the edited video than she did live, or that Cam sounded better live? Or, both? Did I make any comment at all about audio in my post? No, I said the visual focus in the edit took the focus off of Cam too much and shifted the focus onto the coaches especially John making it less possible for the TV audience to be drawn into him the way the studio audience was. From a narrative perspective for what happens between the coaches I get why they did that, but I think it messed up the perception of the performance itself. I don't believe that it was purposely done or anything, but that's what I feel the affect was by that visual edit. When you are in the studio audience you obviously get to pick where your gaze is directed, honestly usually during Kelly's pairings I usually go between looking at the performer and glancing a few times to see Kelly's reactions, but this time I was so drawn in by Cam I stayed focused on him. Going into this performance I had seen both Cam and Megan live for their Battle performances. I really liked Megan and I wasn't that sold on Kelly using her save on Cam. I was expecting Megan to win and didn't see Cam's performance coming, I was definitely happy that Kelly gave him another chance on the show because he clearly showed he had the talent. Since you are addressing me directly directly about audio edits, I guess this is as good time as any to address something you keep talking about all the time and that's whole notion that you think the contestants benefit from being autotuned during the pre-taped rounds and then they get exposed for not being able to sing live during lives. I think that theory is complete BS. I've been to countless live televised performances not only at The Voice, but at talk shows, award shows, televised concerts, etc. and the audio I hear on TV is consistently worse than what I hear in person to the point where I think it's impossible to recreate what's heard live in person in a broadcast format. To be clear I don't think they autotune the pre-taped performances. The difference in quality of vocals between lives and pre-tapes in my opinion simply has to do with the increased nerves the contestants feel when performing live. If you witnessed what the pace of the show is during the pre-taped rounds versus the live rounds, especially the playoffs you would understand how dramatically different it is, even the most seasoned consistent performer could get thrown off kilter in that environment. During the live playoffs taping I went to for Season 15 they were putting the second and third performers in the segment down in the pit at the foot of the stage waiting for their turn while the first person performed and then there was the mad scramble to get the next performance set up during the coaches comments. There was one performance where they placed down the stool the contestant was sitting on at the very last second and the crew flew out of there and boom the guy had to sing. I hated how anxious it made me feel just watching I decided not to watch those performances live anymore. It wasn't an enjoyable experience, I can't even imagine how the contestants felt. The pre-tapes are completely different, there are pretty long breaks in between every performance, the contestants are kept backstage until it's time to do their performance. I'm assuming they have a bit more time to mentally prepare for the performance. The vibe in the studio just feels a lot more calm and orderly even though there's usually several things going on during the breaks. I've seen a lot of former contestants live after they were on the show and no matter how little or how much I liked them when they were on the show, they all sounded better when I saw them outside of the show than when I saw them either live in The Voice studio or on TV. Generally speaking I don't think what we hear on The Voice is ever truly a reflection the best that they are capable of because it is a stressful experience in general and the songs that they sing on the show aren't always necessarily their first choice to sing. It's not even a matter of them having more time to hone their craft to account for the difference, I saw the majority of these contestants (about 16 or so) at a showcase the night after the Season 2 finale, it was then I realized the limitations the show had in showcasing these artists talents and basically it was good for gaining them a fan base by making them aware that they exist. I would encourage people on this board to go check out any of your local contestants live (once such activities are safe again of course), unless you're just not into their genre at all you'll probably enjoy it. I probably should probably mention my personal history watching the show has been, I watched the first two seasons, but stopped a few rounds into lives during Season 2 when three of my favorites didn't make it past that point. I went to tapings during both Season 1 and Season 2. I started regularly watching the show and attending tapings again starting with Season 15 when Kelly came on board as a coach. I've seen former contestants outside the show at that showcase I mentioned, Kelly's concerts, their own shows at small clubs, a WNBA game at Staples Center, a county fair, on 3rd Street Promenade, and most oddly a The Voice event inside a furniture store. There have been times when I was at a show to see one contestant and their friend from the show would pop up and sing something as well. So my opinions and observations are based on those experiences. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people here have suspected significant sound editing of the pre-lives, but I agree there are other factors at play. I watched Mary Sarah perform live for 90 minutes, and she didn’t miss a note, and her lower register never disappeared. As for the autotune, there’s way too big of a difference between the live shows and the pre-lives for me to be convinced they don’t use it, but those other things you cited are definitely huge factors. Not everyone can stand on that stage, with all of the cameras, and millions of people watching, and deliver. Add to that, the intense pressure of the daily schedule. I’ve said that many times as well. Edited April 10, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like there's any noticable changes to the performances. Yep totally agree. Last season I went to the Top 8 results night and Rose, Kat, and Hello Sunday were the middle 3. As I watched all their performances, I could not decide who was gonna get the save because all 3 gave great performances, particularly Rose. My dad even favored Hello Sunday the most! So imagine my shock and surprise when I got home and watched the youtube videos, Hello Sunday's "Chandelier" was incredibly pitchy and really sharp, when in the moment and room, they blew me away. So it does give some insight to why the coaches are really nice about bad performances because they often sound completely different live Edited April 10, 2020 by thevoiceswimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a factor, but it doesn’t affect all contestants to the same degree. I think back to season 16. They all sounded great in the pre-lives, but once the lives started, only Maelyn was able able to deliver a passable performance for the rest of the season. (I exaggerated a little in that last sentence, but not much). Edited April 10, 2020 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
