Bobert talked about American Idol.

I mentioned The Voice. For those that don't know... judges cannot see the singer and must choose to turn their chair around to face the contestant within the singing time alloted. Then, if more than one judge has turned around, the contestent chooses a judge. If a single judge turns aroung, that contestant is on that judge's team. 4 contestants per each of 4 judges' "teams". Then they sing. The TV audience and the team judge chooses one to go on.

Sooooo... it's FIRST about THE VOICE. Fantastic! Just now, on one team, two gorgeous and very talented young ladies got sent home and two older, a bit overweight, bald ladies... one with tattoos and at least one >;-) ... piercing got to go on. I jumped up yelling YEAHHHH and clapping when Beverly was "saved" by the audience voters.

No matter what you think of talent shows, give The Voice a look. It really is, so far, about The Voice. I am HOOKED!

And, yes, this IS a BS thread because it's not about folk, blues or music... it's a talent show on TV.

Each and every one of them are stars if not superstars on voice only... Beverly is a definitely superstar in my books.
