I have a total crush on Patty Anne Miller - her mannerisms remind me of a friend of mine. I am wondering about them putting her in a dress if she makes it to the top 20; it seemed clear that her style is very butch/masculine. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
this. I have an amazing friend who auditioned for some show I never watched but was looking for a singer/dancer/performer...and she got pretty far in, but eventually I think they couldn't figure out what they'd do with her because she looks like a boy (and dances like one) but sings like a girl. (she's AMAZING--Smonster, did you ever see E-cleff perform?). So I worry...
Some thoughts on
The Voice.
Looking forward to seeing how this works tomorrow.
she's AMAZING--Smonster, did you ever see E-cleff perform?
Yes, she is! S/he's a featured performer at the Pride festival this year.
Smonster, did you ever see E-cleff perform?
Maybe? I know I met her, but do not recall if I've seen her perform.
So I caught the finale of ABDC (I had only seen the first 2-3 episodes of the season, missed about 5-6 episodes and I caught the finale on Sunday. A few things:
1) It was incredibly irritating to watch the finale because of all the commercials and they broke up the finale with segments of the red carpet from the MTV Movie Awards. WTF?
2) I think the show is now catering to 10 year olds. The only people of note who spoke as an introduction to the previous winners from every season were the youngest members of the two groups, which was saying something since one of the groups was a kid group. I don't mind hearing what a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old have to say from time to time, but the winners from previous seasons (especially season 1) were AWESOME and I don't need some damn kids to tell me that. The over-reliance on hearing the kids voices almost exclusively really put me off. What is the demo of MTV now? Is it pre-teeners?
3) relatedly, the 2 in the finales - one was decent (but probably would not have won any other year), the other, the boy group was not very good at all. There are groups of boys that age who can really dance (hell, the youngest dancers in Diversity who won Britain's Got Talent 2 years ago could blow these fellas away) but I was not impressed by their finale performance.
The Voice: Oh Christina, honey, No. Just No. It's time to find a new costume person, Stat.
Dear lord--I just turned on the Voice (had to give time so I can ff through commercials) and wow....both of those things! Awful outfit on Christina, and...CeeLo has eyes?
So far I am not impressed by the performances...I don't like Jersey Girl, and that song was...not very melodic? So hard to say she sounded good. And Blake's guy looks ridiculous with black lamé around his head instead of a bandana (not that the bandana is a great look either--dude, I understand you want a signature look but yeesh). The song was more appropriate for him, though.
I'm still freaked out by CeeLo not wearing sunglasses.
Agree on the first two, but I was happy with Beverly and loved Dia.
