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

I went thru the Idol performances real quick...and I can make this real short.  Didn't care for Iovine's song choices, don't think any of the girls did that great on them so "love-all" as they say in tennis.  Judges picked better song for them, and they all did well so, still running "neck and neck" as they say on Derby day. 

That brings us to the closing songs picked by producers.  Angie comfortable at the piano.  I liked her second performance more but this one worked.  For Kree, not as bad as the judges made it out.  I liked her singing, but I don't think she tapped into the emotion of that song.  Candice, not as great as the judges made it out, yada-yada, but she did the right thing in not trying to "update" the song too much and it came out like a classic.

Candice is my Idol.  No matter what happens, I do think Candice and Kree could cut albums that sell, or Candice could do a Jennifer Hudson on Broadway.  Angie, I don't know if there is a career there or not.  She is a little generic.

Only meant to give my two cents worth, but it came out more like a nickel.  Keep the change.

Oh no, dawg! Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol! Plus it looks like they're planning on firing all of the judges and maybe producer Nigel Lythgoe:

Well, I hope Candice wins.  And on The Voice, I think Blake and Usher were surprised with who America saved and who they were left to choose from. I liked Cathia and I was surprised Blake saved the bros. 

Well that is great news to hear!! after seeing the show this year that is just sweet music to my ears... Randy J leaving, it's times for a change, KU has been pretty good, but he just didn't do it for me! He has been too patsy and not hard enough.  Of course you ladies both know how I feel about the 2 women judges... UGH!!! to the highes max especially NM... I absolutely can't stand her.  I'm really wondering if that survey that Idol sent out had anything to do with the sudden news of the firing of the judges and getting a new producer also?  My opinion is... YES!!! I certainly made my opinion known when I filled mine out. 

So what do ya'll think of Lauren's performance and her new song?!!!

About Mariah's Video -  why do I feel like a voyeur?  That was just a BIT much.

so Sheila you didn't like Lauren's song

Mariah's "free and easy" looks like a shampoo commercial! She is just so studied.

I liked NM on Fashion Police and I still like her candor. Oh well.

Excellent idea to get rid of theme nights. (though I always loved motown night during Hollywood week.)

Nobody is going to seem young singing Burt B. or Standards.

I am fine with a wide theme like divas or songs that mention baked goods or whatever.

I actually have found all the judges interesting, JLo was good, and I like NM but whatever.

There are some great singers on the Voice, but I find the format kind of confusing after the chairs spin.

Have fun!!!

Last year I liked Skylar and Joshua.

The weather took out my satellite dish.  Yes, really.

oh Sheila... I'm too wild about Alica Keys song either.  Cookiegal I was a big fan of and still am of Skylar.  I am friends with her on twitter.  She is quite amazing young woman.

I agree with Jimmy, I liked Kree on dig two.
