The morning after the first live show of The Voice, which I have detailed here, V Correspondent, Alison Haislip took some time out to talk about the big night, “The V Room,” and more. Check it out:

On The Social Media Involvement in the Taped Shows vs. Live Shows:
Before, I was live tweeting during the show so there was a bit of fan interaction but now the fans get to see their stuff answered on the actual show. They get to feel like they’re a part of the show.

And at least from what I could tell, online the excitement just grew because of that. People realized that they could actually get their questions answered by the artists on television. And I had so many people hitting me up with all sorts of questions from, “How did Lily feel about her performance?” to “Where did Raquel get her shoes?” So we were trying to acknowledge as many of them as we could.

Tweeting Live On EST Vs. Live & Delayed PST:
Since the shows are now live we are technically only live on the east coast so we do only handle the tweeting that comes from the east coast. But apparently 70% of the viewership is the east coast feed because there’s plenty of people on the west coast who get the east coast feed so we’re really gunning for the majority of the viewers anyway.

It is obviously unfortunate that people on the west coast aren’t getting the technically live feed so we can’t interact with them directly. But unless we get the entire country to agree to go on one time zone that’s just the way it’s going to be.

On the Tension Backstage:
Woo hoo. Let me tell you, when I first walked into the V Room and all the artists were sitting there, I was like there are nerves in this place. I think it was the first time that the artists realized how big the show was going to be that night and they all had their game faces on. Normally they’re all like really happy and goofing around and like best buds and last night they were just like in the zone to perform.

Naming the Most Nervous Contestant:
I’m going to go with Frenchie actually even though I think she’s one of the most prolific artists we’ve had. She’s had the most success out of most of our artists. You can tell that this means a lot to her and that she wasn’t messing around backstage.

Who do you think was the most and least internet savvy?
I can definitely say that Jared and Patrick might be in the least savvy category. I was sitting with them at the table and they were literally like, I don’t even know how to sign in to my Twitter account on this thing so I was helping them out with that.

The most savvy – that probably goes to Raquel honestly. That probably has to do with the fact that she’s so young and things like social media and tech have been a part of her life since she was born. Because she’s up there tweeting everybody, she follows everyone who asks her to follow them. You know, she’s just on it.

What goes on behind the scenes in The V Room between the performances?
Well we’re tweeting a lot. I’m sure everyone saw there were two women sitting at the kind of purple bar looking thing behind me in the V Room. They’re the women who actually run the @nbcthevoice twitter account and the Facebook page so they’re live updating while the show is going on. I’m doing the same. As soon as I’m not on camera I’m on my little tablet and tweeting everyone keeping people updated about what’s happening backstage.

And the artists are doing exactly the same thing. They’re sitting there at those tables actually tweeting their fans back. It’s not like we stick them in there for camera and then pull them out once the camera is off. That’s where they stay throughout the duration of the show.

So how crucial is it for the singers to interact with the fans in order to move forward aside from the performance?
Oh I think it’s incredibly crucial. I mean, the fact that people can vote not just by telephone but online at nbc.com and using the NBC Live app as well as downloading their songs, I mean, the more you can get yourself out there online the better chances you’re going to have.

Something this show has become known for in a way is giving artists a second chance. And some of those artists who are being given a second chance on the show have said that the reason they didn’t have their first chance is because labels or managers or whoever it was said that they just did not have a strong enough online presence, like they did not have a big enough fan base online to get their news out there.

So this is a show that’s really embracing that and regardless of what happens to these artists, regardless of who wins the show, everyone who is on the show has got a huge leap forward because of the social media aspect of it.

Are you allowed to vote?
I don’t believe I get to vote. Honestly I’ve never asked that question but I would think that there’s probably some conflict of interest issues there but who knows, maybe I’ll give it a shot.

Since the fans have six days to vote, are you going to be involved in any of the online voting campaigns for any of the artists whether you vote or not?
In general yes. Obviously I’m going to keep reminding people that they can vote and how they can vote. I’m not going to take sides with particular artists and that’s not that I haven’t been told I can’t. But honestly, because I’ve become friends with all these artists, I’m not going to sit there and be like so-and-so is awesome while so-and-so is horrible. I think they’re all really fantastic. So it’s not my place to get behind one artist and push for them.

What has your interaction with the coaches been like?
It has been awesome to be honest with you. I’m set up backstage with those guys. My dressing room is with all four coaches and with Carson. Blake just always leaves his door open and is kicking it with his buddies in there, and it almost feels like a summer barbecue where we’re at. Carson’s always blasting music. I mean, everyone’s just kind of friendly and out there and really excited to be doing what they’re doing. It’s kind of got this cool kind of summer camp feel to it.

Tips For People Trying To Get Their Tweets On The Air:
The more specific you are the better. We get so many generalized tweets of just people saying I love the show or I love Frenchie, things like that. But the tweets – at least the tweets that we used last night were the specific ones, the ones that were like, “Lady Marmalade gave me chills.” You know, those kind of things. Like the ones that just had a bit more to them that would lead to more excitement on the show.

What kind of song would you sing if you had a chance on The Voice?
Oh my gosh, first off I’d be terrified if I sang on the show. When I’m backstage seeing with the artists were doing, I was like, I could never do this. I would never in a million years be able to put myself up on that stage and sing the way these guys are doing.

But if I was to do that, honestly I’d probably do something similar to what Dia did with her piano rendition of Kanye’s “Heartless.” That is something I do in my own free time. I like taking songs that you wouldn’t normally hear on the piano or songs that you wouldn’t normally hear as a ballad and turning them into that. I play the piano, that’s why I associate with that.

Any judge in particular you would want to duet with if you ever had the chance?
Honestly, I think I would want to duet with Blake just because he and I have this fantastic kind of witty repertoire in person that I feel would translate into a song as well.
