I have the episode on my DVR but have not viewed it yet as I have been overseas for the past two weeks. Will let you know when I get a chance to view it. Chris was impressive in the blind auditions and I am looking forward to his performance.

I don't really watch The Voice. I discovered Chris's EP albums on iTunes. I really like his voice, though some of his stuff is a little too 'pop'. We need to hear more of his 'class-cross' voice!! He'll be good for the genre here in America, definitely! I'm sure they'll want him to sing with a 'pop' voice mostly to appeal to the masses but surely the classical influence makes him stand out from other contestants so they'll use that to an extent! I don't know much about that stuff but I hope it works out! I hope none of these videos have regional restrictions...

I have never watched 'The Voice' but I liked the videos and radio interview of Chris Mann so much, I will be watching Monday evening. I am so thrilled to see more and more young people singing classical crossover to American audiences. Each step is like a throwing a small stone in the water and seeing the ripples getting larger and larger. It is really getting exciting because it's been such a long time coming!

Chris Mann just released his debut album 'Roads': 1. Roads 2. Need You Now 3. Cuore 4. Blower's Daughter (feat. Christina Aguilera) 5. My Way 6. Unless You Mean It 7. Always On My Mind 8. On a Night Like This 9. Ave Maria 10. Falling 11. Viva La Vida And also a Christmas Single, 'O Come, All Ye Faithful'. - only available on iTunes, it seems. itunes.apple.com/album/o-come-all-ye-faithful-single/id572309839?o=a&v0=ITS-Artist%20AlertI'm a little disappointed. I wish he would have sung full-on Opera for at least one song on the album... and not let Christina on the album. Oh well, Gotta go with what they think is best for the American market!
