Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am I the only one who thought it was kind of icky that a 37 year old man was singing a love duet with a 16 year old girl?

NO YOU ARE NOT.

WHAT JESSE SAID.

Of course, I often find myself thinking that many of the songs chosen for younger contestants are completely inappropriate (in the sense they sound ridiculous coming out of the mouths of people still in high school).

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

Oh good. I just kept wondering how it got all the way to the performance stage with no one saying "um, guys...STOP BEING GROSS AND OFF PUTTING"

I thought that was icky and weird too.

Especially later when he was getting all choked up talking about how she's a gift to singing, or whatever he was choking up over.

Exactly. All season long he's been working this proud papa angle and then he's singing about falling in love with her. Ewww. And no.

I can't with the Voice finale from 9-11, so someone tell me who won and if there's anything in the show I should see?

Also, I feel like they are setting us up for a crappy season of SYTYCD, between all the "investing in people we're not sure can do it" and the actual criticism tonight, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised? Although is the criticism because they are actually going to cut people next week? Maybe so.

Both things.

I can't believe how much filler The Voice is managing to cram in.

Saw the Top 20 for SYTYCD. I think there are some dancers who are really good in their style, not sure how they will do in other styles or partnering with dancers who aren't quite as strong.

Glad the tapper got in, but sorry the other guy got hurt.

I think Amy is strong (she's the dark haired, super pale girl, I think her style is jazz) - she danced with Jasmine.
