Last night, the top eight competed on "The Voice," and while some former frontrunners (Amanda Brown, Trevin Hunte, Terry McDermott, Melanie Martinez) didn't have their best nights, for various reasons, it was still an overall great episode. So today, my "The Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield and I are having some real trouble predicting which two singers will go home tonight. And more importantly, we're annoyed that each week on "The Voice" has to have a double-elimination. Why can't just one contestant go home every Tuesday? It's too soon to say goodbye to two of these talented people.

The top eight performed on "The Voice" this Monday, and it was the most awkward "Voice" episode since that time when a Tony Lucca-loathing Christina Aguilera gave a critique while staring apathetically into her Starbucks cup, or that time when she texted in the middle of Tony's thank-you speech.

Why? Because in the space of two hours, the following things happened:

Terry McDermott gets cuddly on cameraTerry McDermott almost swore on national TV (and in front of his toddler son!) when his family surprised him onstage, then he made out with his wife while host Carson Daly ickily leered and called it "good TV." Christina practically begged America to save her one remaining contestant, and it was not a pretty sight. Supposed social media correspondent Christina Milian claimed that every single contestant on the show was "trending worldwide!"--when a quick glance at Twitter proved that the only television show trending at all was "Liz & Dick." Adam Levine and Carson talked smack about Melanie Martinez's ex-boyfriend, while she squirmed and bit her lip and stared at her clunky shoes. Blake Shelton made a politically incorrect joke about the sunglasses-wearing Nicholas David being secretly blind. And Adam went off on a seemingly 10-minute-long rant about Hollywood rock club the Roxy that was about as hateful (and entertaining) as anything that's ever come out of Simon Cowell's mouth.

One of the more awkward (and amusing) moments of this Monday's episode of "The Voice" came when Adam Levine was critiquing contestant Cassadee Pope's performance of a Michelle Branch song, and he used most of his airtime to quite harshly critique legendary Hollywood rock club the Roxy. "We used to open for Michelle Branch," the Maroon 5 frontman grumbled, "and I remember we opened for her at the Roxy and they didn't even give us a dressing room. I hate the Roxy. I'll never play there again!"

When Cassadee, a former frontwoman for the emo-rock band Hey Monday (who played the Roxy as recently as 2010), meekly attempted to defend the club, Adam silenced her with: "The Roxy's horrible; don't ever go there. They screwed us over, and now they're paying for it."
