I'd be perfectly happy if any of the finalists on The Voice won, to be quite frank.
I think Dia has the most unique voice and style, but what has ultimately sold me on this show, despite various quibbles on format, is the fact that I don't hate any of the finalists. I'm not sure I've ever been able to say that about Idol.
My main quibble re: The Voice's format is that I think they should have more singing in a two-hour episode. Yesterday's finale was just about right with two songs per contestant. The Battle episodes just dragged with only four songs in two hours.
As much as I like all four finalists on The Voice, I was kind of underwhelmed by that finale. But I think that had to do with the lackluster nature of the original songs more than anything else. I quite liked all of the duets, although Javier/Adam was my least favorite because Adam can't really sing all that well which is always unfortunate. Of the original songs, Dia's was the best, I suppose. I wouldn't buy it, but I wouldn't change the station either if it came on. Javier's song was just blah, Bev's was bad and I don't even remember Vicci's so that can't be good. Still, I have really enjoyed this show, and the talent level is so much higher than on AI, it's kind of ridiculous.
I like the idea of the show as "giving talented people their last shot" in theory, and in fact! In addition to the young kids, of course.
How did "The Voice" get Stevie Nicks?
Holy fuck. I think I shouted out when I saw her onstage.
Just picking up SYTYCD, and my stream flaked for the second half of Melanie & Marko.
Did Cat cut her hair, or it is just styled to look short?
I can't tell if it's a style or a cut. But, she's fooled us before.
Did you catch the mayhem at the judge's table? All hell broke loose!
And I totally forgot about SYTYCD. Tuning in now for what I can see.
