It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Can "The Voice" Bring Back Our Diva, Christina Aguilera?

Quite Fascinating...

If there were ever a job that could bring someone back from the brink of self-destruction, it would be "The Voice."  This may be Christina's saving grace after all.  The show is title is such, because the judges are literally with their backs turned to the singers, and only get to hear their voice.

Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine will be the judges on NBC's new show, set to premiere on April 26th.  Oh, and Carson Daly will be playing the host.  You may remember me blogging about it 3 weeks ago, and I wasn't to keen on the idea of a new singing competition, especially during American Idol, but I may have a change of heart.  Maybe.


I'll be honest, after watching the promo and learning more about the show, I got a little intrigued.   In the promo, Adam Levine explains, “The biggest difference between this show and all of the other vocal competition shows is that it’s a blind audition…Remember the ’70s? There were some sketchy-looking people that had gorgeous voices.

Can this save Christina?  You be the judge...

Well what do you know, we have a big black guy, a white guy with an accent and a feminine, has been, train wreck all judging a singing contest on a three letter TV channel. If this ain't American Idol on a different station then I just don't know what it is, aside from cancelled, after the first 10 episodes, or season/series finale, whichever comes first.

Was I a bit harsh? Perhaps, maybe, but who knows if the blind audition angle might give it enough "it" factor to keep the show going. That and the mini van engine starting former diva that is Christina Aguilera. There is a chance that her rise back to the top, or downfall, might save this show just let. And Adam Levine naked. Please be naked. NO not you Cee Lo Greem, oh god, my eyes! Guess now it truly is a blind audition after all.
