this is THE VOICE!!! ...thread

yo jjj are you watching this this season? we caught most of a battle round ep this week and everyone on stage deserved to be there, it was shocking and awesome

i havent been, the end last year got dragged out to the point where it broke me

like seriously I watched 5 battles and even when they weren't musically my bag the singing was GREAT

I mean, holy fuck:

i will watch those later today when it wont scare some hardcore kid to death with actual singing.

how annoying are usher and shakira?

way less annoying than Cee-Lo and Xtina! the other night, Shakira called Blake "Shrek" which basically makes her my favorite person in the world for at least a year

hahahaha

ceelo mainly irritated me because he would end up with some of the singers i liked most and then fuck it up completely

christina more so + a terrible person

the full exchange was something like:

ADAM: You passed me over for that ogre sitting over there *points at Blake* and-
SHAKIRA: What's an ogre?
USHER: It's like a troll.
SHAKIRA: Oh, like Shrek! He's Shrek, yeah.
BLAKE: *rueful shrug, eats a goat*

I thought this was pretty good:

this is unreal. that venue is a favorite of mine - it is in such a chill part of town and never had any known incidents. Security is pretty good too.

I will admit to not being familiar with Christina before tonight but all of the pictures of her looking vibrant and full of life, a driven musician, are just too much right now. this is so fucked up. and it happened while she was signing autographs for fans.

gutted for her family, but also gutted for the people who were likely traumatized by the scene. one witness ran out screaming to say a guy had just shot himself next to her, and his disfigured body laid on the concrete.

fucked up shit happens in Orlando, yea, but this is beyond the pale.

yea there were conflicting reports for a while, but sadly it's official. just so fucked.

hate to speculate but it sounds like a stalker situation

fucking horrifying

This is very sad.
