The Voice, The Day After: Round 1 Live Quarterfinals Dish

By | Reality Rocks – Wed, Jun 8, 2011 1:40 PM EDT

Last night, "The Voice" finally went live, with Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton's teams competing for America's votes for the first time. (Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green's teams will sing live next week.) This is cause for celebration, so my Yahoo! Entertainment colleague Matt Whitfield and I have resurrected our "Day After" series, which we originally shot in reaction to "American Idol's" shows, to react to last night's "Voice" fun.

And oh, there is so much to discuss! Is there room on this show for TWO bald-headed powerhouse females? Do contestants who've had previous record deals have an unfair advantage? Is Dia Frampton "The Voice's" new breakout star? Is Xenia doomed? And on the subject of the judges, was that Queen medley a total mess or what, should Xtina stop wearing leather diapers, and should Adam Levine and Blake's wife Miranda Lambert just chill out?

Please be sure to join in our convo by posting your comments below...
