"We have trust issues." Mylar

I really have nothing to say other than that Blurred Lines is an amazing song and the unrated video is totally cracked out crazy.

Also, I agree that a big voiced ballad singer who sings "pretty" is always going to do better on these competition singing shows than singers who work in other genres. Unless you are a white guy with guitar. Then you are automatically winning and it really doesn't matter much what you sing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have not seen the video. Will not watch the unrated video.

That song is fucking great. I agree. And unexpectedly so because I've been "eh" on Thicke in the past.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I have a lot of love for Robin Thicke because he sings Stupid Things and watching SYTYCD Danny dance to Stupid Things is one of the truly perfect experiences I've had in this world. It all comes back to SYTYCD.

I support not seeing the video for Blurred Lines. I saw it before I really knew what it was. It's how I first heard the song in fact, but it was not a pleasant experience. It made me like everyone involved in making it a little bit less. Well, I started out not liking Pharrel, so his involvement just confirmed for me that despite his obvious talent as a music producer, he is a horrible shell of a person who makes everyone around him a little bit worse. Probably the price one pays for making a sassy hit record. But I did come out of it liking TI a little bit less, which was sad for me because he's kind of my rapper crush, multiple trips to the pen aside.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently "America" is "outraged" over Adam Levine saying "I hate this country" last night. Oh, America.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So Levine had a mild hissy fit. I took it as such.

Yeah, I can see why Adam was pissed. He lost 2/3 of his team last night and at the very least Judith should have stayed. I'm not much of a Sarah fan. I didn't have a problem with what he said, but he's crazy if he didn't think there would be a backlash. The open mike is not your friend.

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

I just went and rewatched what was shown here, and you don't hear Adam say anything specific--I suspect they must have cut that part.

Off to youtube!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Project Runway Teams: so, by the end I pretty much didn't care who won. The top three were all fine but no one made anything I was really in love with, so any outcome was all right with me. I did like the whole team set up for the season a lot more than I expected, somehow. It's interesting that Michelle and Patricia, who both really struggled with working in teams early on, ended up the top two.

I guess the Voice decided not to address the Adam Levin faux kerfluffle. Good on them.
