Are Those Sleeves or A Sweater Jordis?

Perhaps it wasn't the absolute worst outfit I have ever seen, but it proved to be a HUGE distraction.  On Monday Night's Live Show on 'The Voice' Jordis Unga came out in a floor length gown.  On one hand, I give her kudos for attempting to add some class to her performance.  But the downfall?  I don't really remember her performance...AT ALL.

Not that her performance was bad, but all I kept doing was looking at her wondering if she had a patterned sweater on or if those were her tattoos?  As you can tell from the picture above she had a light pink mermaid dress on, which I will get to in a minute, with spaghetti straps.  And the way the straps hit her, what is now known to me to be tattoos, looked like it could be a 3/4 quarter length sleeve sweater.  And that is all I kept thinking about the ENTIRE TIME.  After looking back, I realizing most of her other outfit selections covered up her arms with actual sleeves, which may have been a smarter choice for her.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Lets start with the dress, not sure the mermaid style was the best for her figure.  It did portray a "softer" side for her, but maybe one that didn't bunch at her knees would of been a little more flattering.  And perhaps the thin straps of the dress didn't help with my confusion.  Maybe if the top of the dress had more material with a different neckline, it would of offset the tats a bit better. 

Spoiler Alert:  I am not saying this is why Jordis was eliminated from show last night.  But if I was so easily distracted from her voice by her outfit, maybe others were too.  And if Blake Shelton didn't chose her, America surely might of.  But good try Jordis and good luck in your music career.  No need to BURN the dress or FIRE anyone...just wasn't the right dress (or song?) for you!!!

But what do you think?  Comment below...

Voice Performers look Effortless (In a bad way!)

We have come to associate certain things with watching NBC's 'The Voice' this season.  We of course have Cee Lo and his crazy outfits.  Now he has added a white cat, named Purrfect, which P.S. is rented.  Adam Levine and Blake Sheltons continued "Bromance."  And Christina trying to steal all the attention from even the performers on stage.  But last night besides what has been deemed some-what average performances were two outfits that stood out way more than the voices and judges shenanigans.  And I felt the need to comment, as usual...


Karla Davis

Lets start out with country girl Karla Davis, with her sequined dress and cowboy boots.  Now I can appreciate she went for something a bit nicer, as she usually performs in jeans and flannel shirts.  But this is your first live show-STEP IT UP MORE!!!  You don't, I don't care who you are, wear cowboy boots and a short sequined dress and think that is okay. (For a better view of her outfit during her performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0CXcYrh5Go)

A little less drastic, but equally disappointing outfit selection, was Chessa's Navy and Red Capri track suit.  She tried to spice it up with a sparkly yellow top, but it came off sloppy. And then she threw on high heels.  Again, its your first live show, for millions of people in America to see.  And I know there is a comfort level, but she dressed up more for the battle rounds.  And the track suit isn't even Team Cee Lo's preferred team colors of Red and Black.  (For a better view of her outfit during her performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im9ei0_UKt8&feature=player_embedded)

Chessa

Hmmm, how to save the outfits?

Karla's outfit is save-able, throw on a pair of high heels.  Simple fix, but do not go back to flannels-its National TV.  Chessa, scrap the warm ups and go glam, keep the sparkly top and build around it.

Lets be honest, this is your shot to make America remember you.  Our votes are what can make or break your time on the show and directly influence your career.  I know the show isn't called 'The Clothes' but even the boys made a effort for their stage appearance.   You are allowed to go a little crazy with your image on stage (i.e. Cee Lo) and get away with it.  I am still unsure who pulls the shots on the show, the artists or the coaches.  But the stylists of the voice, I am disappointed if you picked these out for them.  Karla keep the dress and boots, don't wear again together in front of me.  Chessa, the warm up suit should be for around the house or a casual event-not on stage.  And although not appropriate, no need to BURN.  But stylists or wardrobe department, do better, so we don't have to FIRE you!

What do you guys think?
