we have a gun to Liese's head?
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My very favorite thing on the Voice is when they don't pick someone on his or her voice and then wish they had been able to pick on the face. That cute boy was just not good enough.

God knows I hate Rick Fox (I think that he is a big ball of bitch), but I have to give him mad props for his RuPauls's Drag Race appearance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ooh, I had missed that Drag race was starting.
How painful was the Voice's Prince medley? et clarify--I was asking, because I think it might be kind of painful.

I thought the singing was okay, but they looked as excited to be singing Prince as Robert Palmer's backup dancers did in "Simply Irresistible."

Because books.
I thought Adam and Christina seemed to be having fun, but I swear Blake was reading the lyrics off a teleprompter somewhere.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

EXACTLY! I think it's great, because on any other similar show he would have been able to skate based on his looks. But I have no doubt he'll be able to use his privilege to get where he wants to go, so I'm not worried for him.
I think so far the non-traditional looking vocalists have also not been great ones, but I am wondering about a couple of factors for that. I wonder if, since the judges can see the audience, who can see the vocalists, they're not picking up something off their traditionally prejudiced reactions? I mean, I think so far they've been right about who they haven't chosen, and central casting has not picked a lot of unpretty people. Some of those people suffer from not having the calm and expertise of having been on the stage in small clubs, night after night, and they may have been denied that expertise based on their appearance.
I thought the Prince medly wasn't bad, albeit a slightly weird choice for the vocalists in question, but overall I'm just happy to have judges who know their shit.
