I am SO SAD VH1 isn't re-running Drag Race this year! Stupid Comcast package.

This Angel Taylor has totally has a video on VH1 -- how is she not established for this??

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."

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

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.

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.

I was kind of tickled that mid-show, one of the "pretty enough to make it if only they could see her" girls was singing a song with lyrics about being "on my way out" while the woman who immediately followed her started getting chairs turned around right as she got to "tell me something good".

"tell me something good"

The woman who did that song was AWESOME.

I haven't seen the ep yet, but I'm also wondering how "blinded" the process is for getting on the stage in the first place, y'know? Are they picking many/any people who are "weird" looking? I mean, I loved Beverly and Nakia the first season, and neither of them are terribly conventionally attractive.

And where are the queer people this year??
