^Someone should have told this to Ivana, Marla, and Melania…
Yeah, and maybe when you are that much of a narcissist, you don’t realize how much of a dumb… it makes you appear, to put down someone because they were a POW. Anyone with half a brain realizes that your chances of becoming a POW are much greater when you are actually flying in combat, in a war zone, as opposed to getting a student deferment or getting out of enlisting because you have a bone spur. Not that I judge anyone who got a deferment, but it’s really tasteless to be condescending towards POWs. Especially while avoiding the fact that in particular, that POW was especially heroic because of a refusal of an offer leave the POW camp, to escape misery and torture, before others.
Not that I’m a fan of the POW, however, my point is that narcissism can turn you into a complete moron.
I’m sad. The Voice started up again tonight and I forgot to watch it. Must be because I know @Xiggi won’t be here to give us his take. Anyone watch it?
Watching now on the DVR! I will miss @xiggi too!
I didn’t know it started. Thanks for the “heads-up”.
Watched some of it. Chuck Wollery’s son is the grandson of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson? But alas, he didn’t make it. No chairs turned.
Hubby reminded me. I’m the goof playing on the app to pick my top 5. A few occasions in could see the Gwen/Blake connection.
The blinds are my favorite round.
Was it chuck woolery who had the ozzie Harriet connection or the mom?
Ack! I didn’t realize it started. I’ll have to watch it online. It will be interesting to see what everyone sounds like on my new, more powerful Sony SRS X55 Bluetooth speaker. (I love my speaker, I do. :x )
I lost all my pre-recorded shows when DirecTV replaced our DVR a few days ago and also missed the opening show. Curious to hear the guy from Harlan, KY who sang Sia’s Chandelier.
I believe the Ozzie/Harriet connection was through the kid’s mother, not Chuck Woolery.
The guy who sang Chandelier got better and better as he went on. I was unimpressed at first, but he does have a great voice. When Pharrell asked if he’d like to share some of his story, honestly, I thought he was going to say he was a trans man.
Lots of good singers. My favorite was the very last one. Great singing, great stage presence.
The little Canadian girl was adorable and very interesting, but I have some doubt about how far she can go. (I loved her parents, who are the absolute reverse of gender/ethnic stereotypes: her Korean father is the family funny/wild man, and her French-Canadian mother is the disciplinarian math teacher! 
)
Tuesday’s show seemed to lack anyone really special except for Ellie Lawrence, the 26-year-old girl from Georgia with the blue hair (Team Gwen). I see her doing really well this season. I also liked Blind Joe who opened the show. I thought there were some 4-chair turns tonight that didn’t seem all that worthy of them. I wish I had seen Monday night’s show. It sounds like it may have had a stronger field overall.
I only caught the end of Joe’s performance. Is there a reason everyone keeps refering to him as “Blind Joe”? Also, one of the judges (can’t remember who…probably Adam) felt they had to say their name before their comments. Doesn’t all this seem a bit patronizing?
@toledo They call him Blind Joe because he’s been blind since birth. With all of the noise in the studio, I would think it may be hard for him to know who he was speaking with unless the judges identified himself, so no I don’t think it was condescending . I work with quite a few blind people and I always identify myself .
I also like Ellie Lawrence, as well as the country guy who went with Adam. Maybe Adam will cease his pathetic monologue about how country performers need to consider people other than Blake, blah, blah, blah… He sounds whiny when he does that.
Correct. Chuck Woolery’s third wife is David Nelson’s daughter.
The clips are on youtube.
I thought Ellie had the strongest blind audition and should have closed the show. They might have chosen country singer James Dupre instead when he surprisingly picked Adam to be his coach over Blake. I laughed when the “country mafia” term got used several times by Adam and Gwen.
I’m a classic country fan and not so much the new stuff. I laughed when Pharrell turned to Blake and said, “Is that country?” My sentiments exactly.
Lots of good singers on Tuesday. I keep comparing this bunch to the first couple of seasons and marveling at how much better they are.
Loved the girl with blue hair, and perhaps most of all the guy who sang some Stevie Wonder for Pharrell. (Evan something?) His audition song was okay, but he totally rocked the Stevie Wonder song! My only question is why he didn’t sing that for his blind audition in the first place! James Dupree was good also.
