Aaaand...nobody cares?   Maybe it's just me, but I've watched every episode of every season of The Voice and I'm more disappointed by this season's contestants than ever before.  There were less than a handful that I'd be interested in seeing again.  Meh.

Why would anyone care about a rehash episode? I know they promised "new footage" but I doubt many people cared enough to willingly subject themselves to the 95% that wasn't new footage. Except those few people who actually watch the show live, and once it was on and they noticed it was all stuff they'd seen before simply were too lazy to flip channels again.

Why do they even have to have an episode like this?  No one cares about these kinds.  They might as well have just made this another Blind episode and mitigate any need for montages in the prior episodes.

A "highlights" episode is very cheap to make, basically just paying the editors, as opposed to the full production cost of another Blinds episode (plus the judges' huge salaries). So it's basically pure revenue for the network, another hour of commercials, even if the ratings are lower than for an original episode.

I doubt it would cost much more to show the montaged blinds.

Well, I usually never watch the rehash but did this time because I've avoided the blinds and wanted to catch up before the battles started.  I avoided mostly because of Miley.  She's just so loud and annoying I knew she'd drive me nuts if I watched five episodes of her silly outfit and yelly..."It's me, me, me, me."  There were a few singers that impressed me in between all the usual shouty stuff.  I know it's weird but I missed Pharrell with his quietness, thoughtfulness and...well...maturity.  

I have to ask a question about Sundance Head...I'm sure I've heard of him before.  Was it American Idol?

Because Adam's own "me, me, me, me" mentality is so much more preferable.  *rme*  At least Miley's interesting.

And yes, Sundance was previously on AI.
