are you watching closely?

who is ready for the voice?

can we talk briefly about how much i have craved a show just like this.
the reason viewers are getting in to american idol more this year is because -
a) the judges are way cooler. b) there was some pretty good talent

having great judges that give real criticism to the singers is what makes it a real journey for them. they have room to improve and become something, rather than just knock a brittish guy's socks off or die. and it is just more positive. who wasn't getting sick of the feigned interest of the judges of idol past. and what was worse? they weren't singers!!

the past view weeks of idol have proved why it is such a frustrating show to watch.
america votes and send the best home, every time. (tears for pia and steffano- our favorites.)


the voice, takes the great judges idea, turns them into coaches, and suddenly the competition is like american idol meets celebrity apprentice. 

you can be fat, old, bearded, or just crazy wierd, but if you have a voice. you're in.
i love that idea more than anything.

an then, some of the best artists will take the singers
and help turn them into sangers.

nbc's the voice is tonight 9/8c

set your tivo or be sad you didn't.

man, tuesdays are going to be big around here now- 

the voice AND biggest loser?!

better watch that too, chia pet #2 is about to get the makeover of his life. 

oh what would we do without the good reality tv shows?

we would be forever stuck watching all those other ones... or housewives...

reality tv's best and worst...

lets start here, 

is ada not your favorite?

i love watching people like this.

 she has no idea how rad she is, and how cute she is...

which makes us hate her non supportive family that much more...

we have been playing catch-up from last week, 

but the "where are they now" episode was so motivating...

makes me which i could run a marathon or something....

so fun to see abbie- the one that lost her whole family,

and she is starting over-

 

fun to watch sam propose to stephanie-

they are both so beautiful-

hard to believe that these two were both 100lbs heavier at one point...

it makes me so happy to watch the millions of people making their lives better...

people that have taken their life struggles and turned them into inspiring stories....

you know what is not at all inspiring?

there is nothing "real" about these housewives of beverly hills...

cc came home for lunch the other day and we got stuck watching episodes 

of this unfortunate mess.

{it's like a train wreck.. can't. not. watch. ew.}

i felt like bones as she observed the quido "tribe"

this show really is a social wonder- like watching the discovery channel or something...

"who ARE these people?"  and "why do we care?"

i guess we just can't help but laugh at how ridiculous their selfish lives are...

it is so far from real that it makes me gavomit in my mouth a little bit...

what is inspiring about watching a handful of plastic ladies fight about nothing...?
