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

 They may be wanting a different sound besides country this year.  However, since the tweens, teens and young adults are the ones who usually buy on itunes and buy cd's, and the voting and viewer numbers are down this year, it's safe to say this group isn't watching or voting.  So my guess is they won't be buying any of these young womens music even if they do win and are heavily promoted.  I look at it like this, how many young people actually listen to blues and jazz? I have kids under 26 and they don't and neither do their friends.  Christian rock is more popular than blues or jazz among the kids.  Honestly though, pop, pop country, and rock are pretty much what my children and their friends listen too.  My daughter was here the other night when Fantasia was singing (she's 23) and she made me mute the television while she was singing. LOL! she can't stand that kind of music.  I almost fell off my seat rolling in the floor laughing at her. 

I love that song & they do it justice!!!!

Hi Sheila!

Hi Karen!!!!



LOL! Sheila!!!



Blake it is!!!!

When you watch it, the sincerity and passion just takes over your soul.  Savannah was spectacular for a 17 yr. old, Jackie was so gracious in what she said to Blake.  Voices are just great.

sheila, I'll take whatever of that hug is left over!!!  Grown woman swooning here.

Two hours of unreal entertainment and joy, singers were fantastic.   Always pure joy to spend this time with you ladies, see you tomorrow, is it only one hour tomorrow?

I like two hours, even three!!!

Hi ladies, once again I'm a day late watching the voice.  But I had to baby sit so she had to watch cartoons on one tv and I had to watch DWTS.  So I dvr'd the voice.  LOL!! Loved DWTS! Kellie Pickler (my American Idol) and Derek Hough were simply amazing.  If you get a chance try and watch on you tube or ABC channel today.  It's like now we know the truth... Not only can Kellie sing country music ("WOW" she's good) but she can dance!!!!

I really liked the last guy that had the long dreads and was white... he sings on beal street and has a family.  He went up against the duo (?) and the duo was chosen by Adam.  I was really hoping someone would choose him.  I loved him.

I'm afraid this is going to be a very hard year to choose unless some of them start messing up or choosing songs badly.  Right now I simply don't have a very favorite one yet.  I like so many of them. 

I liked Patrick too.  Not exactly fair when a single singer batles a duo, is it?  Apples and oranges there.

Will we ever hear the Swan Brothers vs. the Morgan Twins, or how long does the battling go on?
