Troubadour, TX Through the Grapvine

I'm not a big fan of Reality TV in general, as most of you can probably tell by now. Still I do like some of the talent ones out there. I also enjoy ones that take you behind the scenes of making a record or show. This one looks like that kind of show...

 

The Voice Finale

So, I have to say that I am really disappointed in the results of the show last night. I'm not saying that Javier is not talented, I'm just saying that I think the others were better and showed a steady growth through the competition and he did not. I kept waiting for Adam to call him out at some point for not taking his notes to heart and toning things down.

CMT Next Superstar and The Voice.... SPOILERS if you haven't seen the latest eps)

I'm ba-ack....

I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have been sick and really not up do doing anything requiring any actual thought. :) Anyway... I'm feeling better and ready to talk about the latest episodes of The Voice and CMT's Next Superstar.

Reactions to The Voice....

So, I was posting my thoughts about tonight's episode as it was playing on twitter. If you haven't seen the new episode yet, don't go any further:

The Voice

So, I have a new TV obsession, The Voice. For those who have not seen it yet, here's a run down. There are four judges (Cee Lo Green, Adam Levin of Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton. The judges sit in huge chairs with their backs to the contestants so they can not see who is singing... they're just focusing on their voice. When a judge decides they really like a person, they press a button that allows them to turn around and see the singer.

Promises, Promises.... (SPOILERS for CMT Next Superstar)

Be warned... DO NOT look any further down if you didn't see the episode yet and would rather wait to see a repeat before reading any details...

So, I have a TV that is possessed and has been scanning randomly through channels. It, of course, decided to do that as I settled in to watch the latest episode. Luckily I did catch some of the end and the CMT website is helping to fill in details. First, let me share a few performances from the latest ep:

CMTs Next Superstar

So, I had a chance to watch last night's debut and I enjoyed it for the most part. I think most of the contestants are great and the format worked well.

Who Do You Think You Are?

I don't know about you guys, but I love this show. It's on Friday nights on NBC and is really addictive. The series follows a random celebrity every week as they trace their family heritage. They visit historical sites, chat with historians and geneologists and more. I think the most fascinating parts are where they show old documents and photos. It's great getting to see people actually holding a peice of their family's past in their hands.

If you are into history and family trees, you really should check it out. For anyone who has seen it, what do you think? Do you like the show? Do you think it doesn't do the subject justice? Post your comments and let's talk about it.
