I hope I posted it here, but I've thought for a while that Tessanne should win, but Jacquie will win.

I'm totally Team Tessanne, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jacqui won. The Voice seems to have a slightly older voting demographic than Idol, though, and some older folks (well, Reality TV older) have won it in the past, so who knows? I am sure pulling for a Tessanne win, though. I don't think she's sung a bum note during the entire competition and her take on I Have Nothing almost made me not mad that Adam picked that tired AI retread as her final song.

I wouldn't be mad if Jacqui won. I love X-Tina and this has been her best outing as a coach ever. And Jacqui does have an amazing voice. She just needs more seasoning, as do all 16 year olds which is why I'm generally against them being on these types of shows. She totally went pageant-bot on that J-Holliday/J-Hud classic (and also went off key a couple of times once she started trying to belt). It was not pleasant to watch.

In other singing competition news, I loved, loved The Sing Off. Jewel is an excellent addition to the judges panel. She knows her stuff. I was impressed! My faves so far are the country group (the bass in that group is insane!) and Vocal Rush, the young kids. I thought they were super cute on Holding Out for a Hero and wouldn't have put them in the bottom 2, but since they were there, I got to see them destroy the girl group, which was really not all that, on Survivor and it was glorious right from the start when the little latina mocked the "Yes, Nick Lachey". Ha! I love spunk!

I'm sad that this show is so short. Is it really only two weeks long? That ain't right. We have to watch AI and The Voice for eternities. After this week's second show, we will be down to only 4 groups already, no? Too fast. I want more group singing. More Ben Folds. More Shawn Stockman in ridiculous purple paisley button downs.

Yeah, that.

I need more chores to do to watch The Sing Off to.

WOO

Yesssss. My favorites won on both AI and The Voice. I am on a roll.

One day, someone will have to explain to me why people think Adam is sexy. I mean, I like him as a coach and I even enjoy the occasional Maroon 5 ditty, but sexy? Yeah, not so much.

I will be glad to get Usher and Shakira back next season. Christina was much better this year but she's still too all about me to be a really good coach and Cee-Lo's heart just seems to be not in it anymore.

I think Ceelo needs to go. He gives me the creeps after the Las Vegas charges.

Well, yes, there is that, too.

PR:AS the Marge episode

I didn't like Irina's dress that much until I saw the animated version.

Most recent episode - I was cracking up 7 minutes in at all the mermaid gowns. Come on, designers! Even I know better than that, and I have always loved a mermaid dress.

ETA: note to Christopher - Star Trek Enterprise cocktail waitress would be a much shorter skirt.

Am I the only one getting a little distracted by Jewel's boobs?

No! An episode or so ago she started with the push-up bras and way obvious cleavage, like she's gunning for The Sing Off's Xtina position.
