Just when you thought you’d heard everything, wrap your brain around this: Jenelle Evans has apparently decided to cash in on her MTV quasi-fame by educating the masses about teen pregnancy prevention. Seriously. To that end, she’s already lined up a gig in Chicago. For reals. Jenelle Evans ‘ story of teen pregnancy and its consequences is a cautionary tale. Or maybe that’s just her life. She doesn’t do much with the kid, honestly. If you want someone to relay the dangers of rampant weed and heroin use, getting arrested a lot or beating the crap out of people, she’s your girl! In all seriousness, this speaking engagement is like a thing. “Chicago coming yr way in November! Details will be coming soon for all my events,” Jenelle tweeted last week , to which Kailyn Lowry responded: “Ummmm take me with after baby is born!” Every speaking tour needs a co-headliner. One can only imagine Jenelle filling an hour musing about life, love, weed, Olive Garden, Kieffah, more weed, Gary, Courtland, Nathan … whatever. Oh, right, and Jace. Cute little guy. Him too. Jenelle Evans Mug Shot Gallery You have to wonder. It’s one thing to watch Teen Mom 2, but paying to see Jenelle in person? How boring can one’s life be that one would consider that?! A Barbara Evans speaking tour? Now that would be worth it.
Night four of The Voice blind auditions proved that sometimes, the second time is the charm, while even a gifted talent doesn’t guarantee a spot on NBC. Who blew away Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton last night after failing to turn a single chair one season ago? Who else landed spots with the fab four of The Voice? Here’s a look at the singers who successfully gained entry into the next round last night … James Irwin – Losing My Religion (The Voice Blind Audition) James Irwin didn’t do much for the coaches last season. This time, with is performance of the R.E.M. classic “Losing My Religion,” it was a different story. Returning with newfound confidence and much more stage presence, Irwin had his pick of coaches, but went with the only one to point out weaknesses: Adam. Will Champlin – Not Over You (The Voice Blind Audition) Will Champlin, with a stirring performance of “Not Over You,” had all three male coaches pining for him. He went with Adam as well, a coup for the singer. Stephanie Anne Johnson – Black Horse and the Cherry Tree (The Voice Blind Audition) Stephanie Anne Johnson, with a performance of “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” landed on Team Christina. But Cee Lo is already looking to steal. Sam Cerniglia – It’s a Beautiful Day (The Voice Blind Audition) Sam Cerniglia sang “It’s a Beautiful Day” and the Michael Buble song was a hit with Blake, whose team he joined. Cee Lo also turned around for Sam. Olivia Henken – Two Black Cadillacs (The Voice Blind Audition) Olivia Henken had Cee Lo and Christina vying for her services with a strong spin on “Two Black Cadillacs,” and Aguilera eventually won her over. R. Anthony – Hall of Fame (The Voice Blind Audition) R. Anthony would love to be standing in the “Hall of Fame” himself one day, and took the first step last night, opting for Cee Lo over Christina Aguilera. Justin Chain – She’s Country (The Voice) Justin Chain only got one chair to turn around on “She’s Country,” but one is all it takes, as Blake clearly liked his take on the Jason Aldean song. Ashley DuBose – Diamonds (The Voice Blind Audition) Ashley DuBose turned all four chairs with “Diamonds,” channeling Rihanna in tremendous fashion and picking Levine despite near unanimous begging. Amber Nicole, Emily Randolph & Keaira LaShae – The Voice Blind Auditions Keaira LaShae also landed with Green, while Aguilera recruited Amber Nicole, and Shelton seized Emily Randolph to finish off night four of Season 5. That leaves Levine and Aguilera with 10 singers each, while Shelton and Green both have nine. Which contestants picked the right or wrong coaches? Who’s got the best team so far, and who’s been your favorite singer throughout the blind auditions this season? Sound off in the comments below.
The Voice Season 3 teams are almost set, which is probably a good thing as the blind auditions lose a little bit of their luster (a little bit) by the third week, which we’re in now. That said, they’re still fun. Let’s break down last night’s by team… Dez Duron – Sara Smile (The Voice Blind Audition) Team Christina Aguilera Her body turned around for Dez Duron (above, who returned from last season’s near-miss and advanced this year with his take on “Sara Smile.” That IS a good-looking dude, Blake! Latin singer Laura Vivas and Jordan Pruitt, who used to tour with Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and the Cheetah Girls, made the team next. Take a look at Jordan’s effort: Jordan Pruitt – The One That Got Away (The Voice Blind Audition) Team Blake Shelton Michaela Paige, Ryan Jirovec, and Lelia Broussard made Team Blake, as did Suzanna Choffel, but only the latter’s sultry version of “Landslide” got much air time. Here’s why: Suzanna Choffel – Landslide (The Voice Blind Audition) Blake added to his team again with Terisa Griffin, whose “Someone Like You” was great, and got Christina to turn around too … albeit more reluctantly than Shelton: Terisa Griffin – Someone Like You (The Voice Blind Audition) Team Adam Levine The Maroon 5 frontman beat out Cee Lo and Xtina for Michelle Brooks-Thompson, whose take on “Proud Mary” established her as not just a decent singer but a real contender. Michelle Brooks-Thompson – Proud Mary (The Voice Blind Audition) Brandon Mahone, who sang “I Wish It Would Rain,” made a strong choice of song and delivered a powerful performance of it to boot. Take a look below … Brandon Mahone – I Wish It Would Rain (The Voice Blind Audition) Team Cee Lo Green Cee Lo’s two new additions were unwanted by the others, as usual. Diego Val, a singer from Peru who battled back from a horrible disease, wins story of the night: Diego Val – Animal (The Voice Blind Audition) Alexis Marceaux of New Orleans also wowed Cee Lo with her rendition of “Go Your Own Way” … he seemed surprised no one else turned around for it! Alexis Marceaux – Go Your Own Way (The Voice Blind Audition) Whose team do you think is shaping up the best? Who was your favorite tonight – both contestants and judges?
