It’s getting mighty crowded out there in TVLand with all these reality singing competitions!

Boy! Things are getting crazy with these reality shows. I just received this bit of news from TMZ.Com, so take from it what you will.

Well, the surprises just keep on coming. Who would have foreseen Rachel’s elimination last week? However, all appears to be good and well for the spunky little thirteen-year-old with the great big voice and personality. It seems that she is being courted and embraced by Disney. Which explains why Simon was calm, cool and collected […]

I am loving this double elimination thing. Tis the season, right? Far too busy to spend one’s time in front of the TV. This week the singers hit us with two songs apiece so I am hoping to see some diversity in their singing style. I won’t even wager which singer(s) will be eliminated. After […]
