Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I agree with Adam that letting go of the guy who sang Teenage Dream was a travesty.

Because books.

I thought that was a really wild choice, and really well done. Although it did take me a minute to figure out what song he was singing.

When does SYTYCD come back, anyone know?

I just saw an ad for SYTYCD. I think that it's the 16th.

I have to say I was very underwhelmed by the knockout performances. Weird song choices, lackluster performances. And, yes, backup singers make no sense in this round especially.

Also, I found most of the pairings completely bizarre, with the result that we lost a number of "better" singers and potential audience favorites this round.

Still loving the coaches chemistry though.

Tuesday, May 14th, 8:00 pm. Be there or be square!

The Voice: I was sad to lose the dude with the beard but I thought he did a terrible job on I Don't Wanna Be (which is a song that desperately needs to be retired from the reality TV singing competition repertoire). I understood why Usher chose Cathia if he were just judging on that performance alone, but over the long haul, beard dude had much more upside. Bad decision. I also really thought Blake should've kept Grace Askew. Her I Can't Stand the Rain was imperfect but interesting. I liked what that dude did to Katy Perry's song, but I really thought the girl he was up against was great, too. That was a toughie, as Shakira would say. I wasn't really blown away by anyone last night.

On Idol, these girls continue to be pretty great on a season almost no one is watching due to all the judge and producer shenanigans going on. Mariah and Niki have been an absolute disaster and the Dawg is just as awful as he always was. Keith is pretty great, but gets lost in all the big personalities. They should dump them all and start over. But two of the girls, Candice and Kree, are some of the best singers they've had on the show in a while. And the other two are not bad, just not my cup of tea. I'm really enjoying them, if not the show or the lame themes or the judging.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nothing like a HUGE blindside, right?
