AMERICAN IDOL...Season 12 & The Voice...Season 4

It's not the judges...they want Lazaro gone and no way would they use the save on him.  Poor Burnell..he outed his big crush on Amber last night and now they will have to part (until the Idol Tour that is.)  Did you see how he ended his save song, a love song, right in front of her.  Amber could care less about his puppy love, but Candice was so sweet and crying real tears for him. 

Another thing I meant to comment on...Jimmy Iovine is the only one keeping it real on this show.  Love him!

Don't the judges have to eliminate two contestants the next week if they use the save?   

I dislike the tone of this season and the use of Jimmy's saying that Lazaro (sp) should go home virtually everytime his views are broadcast.   We should remember that everything that is recorded is edited to the desires of the producer. There is some logic, raising viewership? Who knows.   I felt that the judges were told to be easier on Lazaro because heavy criticism has historically brought a backlash vote for the contestant.     I think what I am reacting to what seems to be an obvious attempt to force a female winner.  Of course the production company is all tied into the recording group and the concert and recording incomes. It isn't just a talent contest. I wonder if anything is straight forward anymore?   

I am not very much of an optimist today.

Hi ladies!  Yes, it's so obvious they want a female winner this year.  They may have cut off their nose to spite their face this time.

When I was watching that hunka hunka burning love Casey James perform, I thought if he was on this year he would win on looks alone (of course with the teenage girl vote, and I think they've lost them this year).

I think Candice is my favorite this year.  When she starts singing in the group songs, you know it's her.  She has a powerful voice.  I don't know what it is about Kree, but to me, yo, she doesn't seem to sing with much soul.  I was not moved during her Janis Joplin song.  I don't particularly like Heart, but Amber did great with her song.  I love what Keith said about Lazoro's attitude after he finished singing Queen: "There! I'm THROUGH with this song!" It looked exactly like that, haha.

Oh well, I'm obviously a terrible judge because on The Voice they pass on all kinds of singers I like!  I wish they had shown that good-looking guy from Hawaii singing... Well, we'll have another chance because I think he's on Adam's team.

elimar, you can see the group keeping Lazaro in at Vote the Worst American Idol, it is all terribly unfair to all parties.  The show would do well to eliminate the site where you designate all 50 votes for one person, they can still phone but that requires separate phone calls. JMO on how to prevent a repeat of Thurs. night, where he ended in the top three.

sheila, see you at 8, should be a wonderful show!

I have a feeling our eyes look the same!!!  Lots of good performances, many groups and singles I don't recognize.  Sure do recognize Blake, looking forward to two nights of The Voice.  Just to wash the taste of AI out of my mouth and eyes, did see Keith, he looks great too.

Is that his newest song?, sure was good, I'm going to be getting his newest CD, I've played His Greatest Hits all weekend, I just love Some Beach and Goodbye Time, also Who Are You When I'm Not Looking.  Miranda sure has been looking wonderful, can't wait to hear her sing.  Im surprised Carrie's Blown Away didn't get Album of the Year.
