I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, my roommate and I were confused also, but when she googled she said it was the U-Turn (?) being at a downed fighter plane?

That makes more sense than the song thing.

The Voice: Yay. Too soon and everything. That's all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So far I like the new judges' team. Shakira impressed me more than I thought she would.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thanks for the U-Turn link -- that explains that, and I'm glad they made things right. I suppose it's partly being in the Vietnamese-local context, where directions are like "turn right at the B-52 wreckage" because after all these years, it's part of their national landscape.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck, I love the Voice blind auditions! It's so nice that everyone's good, even though everyone doesn't make it. And I like that they give specific feedback.

I love this part of the show.

I'm pretty sure I say this every season, but it's STILL TRUE.

Because books.

Usher loves everyone! It's awesome. I love this part of the show, too.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

My reality TV singing competition show worlds are colliding. John Peter Lewis . . . the JPL! Goofy/annoying contestant from S3 American Idol and now adorably goofy and hopefully no longer annoying half of Midas Whale. And he speaks fluent Spanish. Good, good times. I kinda wish they'd picked Shakira so that they could just confound Blake during a big old coaching session/group sing with Cathia.

Still enjoy this show sooo much. Even the "bad" auditioners are better than Zoanette from this season's AI who almost made top 10! Crazy.

And I love Shakira and Usher as new judges. When Shakira mocked the leg cocked up on the chair, patented Usher sexy pose? I died. They are delightful.

Oh hey, speaking of Idol. Remember Naima? My sister was showing me some cell phone video of one of her recent concerts and it looks fun as hell. Very sort of afro-cuban-world music kind of thing. We may go see her again next month.
