Tiny horn dog did not do anything for me. I listened without looking and he sounded like karaoke. Nope.

Then knit uncapped man came on and sang a good song but dull dull dull.

Then now my favorite Motown song of All, My Girl, is being butchered and I’m not enjoying it. Oh, it’s (T) Rayvon.

I never knew “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” was such a happy tune.


Welfare can be more than minimum wage, Jonny! When you add up the WIC and the free cheese, and the EBT credit cards.... Who needs Papa?

He’s safe and tackles this week’s theme, which is “White Kids Butchering Motown”.


Rolling on floor laughing!! There are crumbs down here!!

Maybe 2 people in the audience know I Will Survive.
True. Judging by the awkward “We have to dance to this because we’re on TV”dancing, it was the first time many had ever heard it.


Oh my, I remember hanging with my girlfriends out by the pool in our teens in Palm Springs at my grandma’s house, singing every WORD to that song, probably into bottles of suntan lotion mikes!!!

Good times.

This sounds vaguely like a Motown song, not sure which one though. All the soul has been pasteurized out of it.


Michael Jackson. Yes, he is rolling in his grave right now.

And I think this guy’s hair has enough bacteria in it to ferment cheese. Maybe a family of birds. His hair is the most Motown thing about him.

Harry says he nailed every note, so it must be true.

Haven’t liked a single thing and I’m tryin’!!

Yeah, I watched the first episode. I never liked will forte before, and the obnoxious female character was also disturbing. Not sure I will ever watch again. The premise is great...

I’m waiting for one of the judges to say, “what? Sorry, wasn’t listening. I was watching the Voice on my monitor.”

The new mentor. They found someone shorter than Seacrest.


This mentor keeps saying he is so buzzed about this season, so buzzed about the chatted on social media saying this is the best season... I think he is just plain buzzed.

Clark was really good. Finally I enjoyed something. Though the judges had some good critique of him.

The next guy was also pretty good. Love Jen’s dress. Hate the red rimmed eyes and putty colored mouth though.

The Virgin was pretty good with Stevie as well. Look at those dreads - do they leave marks when he flings them? And Keith did a little shimmy to him.

Changing my mind about the JLo dress: I assumed it had a nude modesty panel over the breastesses. Nope, instead you see JLo’s black bra. That cheapens the dress to me. Too bad.

Adam Lambert definitely had a fantastic voice and vocal control. And good emotional connection. Kind of missing someone in his league on Idol. Or someone as original as David Cook was on Idol. Goosies? I’m not seein’ it.

I do love this song, master blaster. Stevie at his height. And yeah, at the time, I could do all the lyrics... Like an idiot.

Not really impressed with his version.

Ye gods, Harry sounds like Keith, “my favorite part was...” Which works even if they totally sucked.

Well, would you rather sit for an hour on a cold hard aluminum urinal, waiting to see if you made it, or just get dumped where you are sitting?

Ryan is in a girl’s shirt! It has cap sleeves! He still has his Adam’s Apple though.

Pretty much, lol. I don’t mind it so much in this round, but I think the Top 12 should get a proper results show. I mean, is FOX’s schedule so jam-packed with goodness that they can’t spare a half-hour?


This is why I love this thread. Can’t go to bed sad on weds nights! “Jam packed with goodness” - Rofl!!

Empire popped on with such action I couldn’t look away fast enough. Now it’s on. Everyone is screaming. This guy looks 35 and a little kid calls him grandpa. A lot of these people appear to have about 15-25% african blood.
Now two guys start groping each other. How much of this can I even watch? My interest level is close to zero.

Screaming about a white bitch. Hello, most of y’all have white women in your past, newsflash.

Ok, Turning it off.

This kid Daniel should have been cut. The four guys left were all better than him.

Good one :):) We of the “ Voice Loyalists Club”

Some very good contestants this year. To me any one selected so far,
plus a number eliminated would be better than this years Idol crop....

Agree.

This feels like more of a “ lets change up the format” year to renew interest.

No real star power from what I’ve seen so far....

I see the Last Man on Earth actually features two people

I didn't even watch it. Looks like the last two people on earth are also the most annoying.

These poor young white boys look so uncomfortable singing Motown.

I bet half of them thought "Motown? I thought we were in Detroit."
