YAY to The Voice. It's a great show with tough competition. But I'd like to know who originally selected the singers who got a chance to audition before the judges live. Showing the pre-audition process would be nice - those shows are the only- of American Idol- I can tolerate...the hilarity of it.
Typical ABC garbage that did poorly last night, which shows relaity shows aren't all they're cut up to be, but watch that stupid fool M E O W defend the network as a "tour de farce" which it is.
Somebody's still watching NBC??
No matter who wins someone needs to put Xenia in a recording studio to record a record of her and get it out to the public as soon as possible. She has a very unique voice and she will mature in time but her voice needs to be in records NOW!!!
