And 12 people on each team!
I couldn't believe they all turned around for that one "jazz singer" last night -- I'm sure she has potential, but she was so shaky in the room to me.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Oh yeah, super shaky. Pitchy worse than some of the people they called down for pitchy. But whatevs.

I thought last night was the most inconsistent in terms of who and how many turned around.
I also don't have any feel for whether someone has a distinctly better or worse team. Of course, if the top singer from each team advances like last year I suppose it doesn't matter.
With 6 battles each, I assume we'll get one team per week for the battle rounds, no? I can only hope Blake will choose better songs this time around.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've only seen about half an hour of The Voice, spread across two or three episodes, but a lot of people have sounded off-pitch to me, even the ones who are experienced or who got a lot of praise. I wonder if they have a hard time hearing themselves on stage.

Because books.
I think the jazz girl the other night did get noticeably more nervous once they started turning around, but I think she had potential.
Idol, on the other hand, is ... I don't know. The top twelve guys are on tonight, and I don't know if they're all nervous, but a lot of them sound pretty sad.

I don't think Dana is wrong. There has been a lot of off singing according to my house acoustics. This group as a whole does not sound as good as last season's.

I was surprised at how off the Broadway guy got -- I mean, if anyone can do it, shouldn't it have been him??

I just have to report how proud I have to have deleted my season pass (or whatever) for ANTM before accidentally getting sucked in!

American Idol is just painful this year.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I watched one-and-a-half episodes of The Voice and just couldn't stand it. To me all the voices sounded off and/or weak. There was one young man who sang Grenade (I think that's the name of it), which was the first time I ever heard that song, and I thought, huh, good song, but he doesn't sound quite up to it. Then the next night on Smash, the male lead singer sang the same song and blasted it out, and I thought, ooh THAT'S how that's supposed to sound! Sorry, The Voice guy.
Do we ever talk Mythbusters in here, or is it all reality contests? Not that there's anything wrong with that... just not so much my thing.
