The logistics of this performance/voting/results episode are ridiculous. So, 20 contestants are going to perform, America is going to vote, and eight eliminations are all going to be announced in a much less than two hour time period (allowing for commercials)? I guess it's possible if only the coach for the team competing at the time gets to speak. Personally, I think this could be a disaster. Thumbs down from me.

I would guess that America voting will happen during commercial breaks. Similar to how twitter saves work in results episodes.

Back in season 7, the show did a wildcard round where they fit in 9 performances in 1 hour. I think all the coaches got to comment on each performance. I don't remember them showing any pre-taped rehearsal footage. Also no live voting.

Especially when it's a singer from a completely different genre than the mentors. There's probably some element of, gee, there's a big name, successful person, but if you're an r&b singer, are you really that bowled over to meet Faith Hill and Tim McGraw?

I always have this vision of take after take when the singers meet the mentors. "You weren't excited enough when you saw Joan Jett. Let's do it again. Come ON!"
