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

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.
I agree. I wish I liked the performances in general a bit more. I thought they way over-praised Amber for Patsy Cline. I love that song and I thought she ruined it.
J Freeze freestyles with Cyrus on Ellen! I just died of all the cute. He really has a lot of talent. Hope those parents nurture it correctly. SYTYCD, man. It really is the best thing ever.
