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

I might quit watching those two-hour shows from now on...since I can recap the singer in 15 min. online the next day.  I like saving all that time.  So, what did I miss as far as (what I call) filler entertainment?  I do sometimes like when the judges get up on stage.

Anyway, you all might be shocked that my fave performance of the night was...The Swons.  It just felt very natural.  Organically good.  Yes, the little Swon is not as strong as the other, but Messina wasn't as good as Loggins either, now was he? 

I'm a Judith fan, but her song didn't bring out the best in her.  I'm a Sarah fan too and I read that the judges went to heaven on her number.  O.K. fine, the only thing was that the usual "grit" in her voice was also reminding me of phlegm in her throat tonight.

Who do I think will go?  I think Amber failed to launch last night and I did not care for Sasha very much either (but I might just be tired of that song since we just heard it on AI.)  Kris was not at his best, but I hope he sticks around another week because I like that silky voice of his.

(p.s.  I forgot to add that Taylor Swift must have called and wanted her liquid eyeliner back because Danielle wasn't wearing a whole tube of it on each eye like she was the previous two weeks.  They had her way too made up for a little blonde 16-year-old, but it was toned down a hair this week.)

No Voice tonight? or will it be on later?

Thanks sheila, the all-knowing of all things AI or The Voice, you are a peach!

My word, Shakira can sing!!!!

Between Kris and Josiah, they could have combined into one great singing package of looks and singing ability, but neither had enough on his own to get saved. 

At this point, I am ready to see Sasha and Amber depart next week (but I'll try to keep an open mind and see if either of them will wow me next week.)   Anyone who has an off week now is gonna be in trouble.  Sheila, will they elimate two every week now until it is just the final two left????

Funny, last night was the first time I've voted this entire AI & Voice season.  For some reason I felt like throwing a big 3 votes to the Swon Brothers.  It would be kind of neat to see a duo make it - interesting possibilities.

I also don't even remember Amber singing and I fast forwarded through Sasha because I didn't even like it.  I agree they should be the next 2 to go.  Judth hasn't shown us anything new, I don't think, but Sarah is full of surprises and her soft voice is amazing.

Sorry to see Chris go.  He has such a smooth voice.  So now the new coaches are down to one each.  Michelle is very good so Usher could be okay for a while, but it looks like Shakira could be out of the running soon.  I hope she comes back next year, because she's funny with the guys.

sheila, thanks for posting the link, he is my latter year's mega crush, he couldn't be more of a gentleman if he tried, so kind and caring.

Hi sheila, great news comes in pairs today, really like the idea of past alumnae being judges, would rather Clay than Adam, but Jennifer and Kelly will be great, kind of wished they had kept KU though and Blake's special for his home state.  Bet he gets a great line-up of stars for the concert.  We have him for Mon., Tues., and Wed., YIPPEE!!!!!  We have sunshine back but the temps. went way down, will build back up to the 70's by Memorial Day.  Always a better day with sunshine.
