Hmm…I seemed to have walk’en in to an empty room! Hello! Anybody here? 😂😃
I’m not watching Idol, just no interest! I’m loving a few contestants on the Voice, but after Emily last year, am not getting to excited about anyone until the Live shows.
Kelly, is cracking me up! 😃

I am watching The Voice and Idol. As much as I like Kelli Clarkson, I’m finding her a bit over the top. I wish she would dial it back a bit. And I’m not loving Katy Perry. She’s making herself the center of attention instead of the contestants. I do like some of the talent on both shows, but think the Idol judges are sending some contestants to Hollywood who wouldn’t have been sent by previous judges.

Hello ladies,
I have to agree with all of your points Louise. All Voice judges are over the top though so I guess she fits the mold.
There is one contestant on the Voice that I really enjoyed. There have been others who were good but this one was my favorite so far. Her name was Livia Faith and she sang “Dream a Little Dream of Me” which was made popular in our time by The Mamas and The Poppas. She chose team Alicia after a three chair turn.
As Vonnie said it’s a waste of time to get too invested in the contestants at this stage but I liked this girl so maybe she will be around for a while.

I can’t remember the girl you mentioned, Gene, but I think I walked out of the room when she performed because I remember hearing the song. Hopefully it will be a good season for both Idol and The Voice as they progress.
