And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. 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 - - - - - - - - - - -

The Voice - A Major Fail or Success? You Be The Judge

Okay, really?  The Voice?  Really?  NBC doesn't get it.  American Idol is the number one singing show in America, it has been for 100 seasons!  The X-Factor is the number one singing show in the UK and Simon Cowell (it's creator) is bringing it to America this fall.  What is your their reasoning behind this?  Do they really think that bringing Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera to the show will help entice a whole new crop of singing sensations?  You can bet your life on it!

It was originally titled The Voice of America, but NBC later changed it to "The Voice."  I guess it sounds more catchy.  It premieres on April 26th; set your DVR.  

So here's the deal, four music coaches will bring in their experts of producers and song writers to work with their team of singers they selected during the blind auditions. Then America will decide which singer is going to win the grand prize of $100,000 and a recording contract.  Sound exciting?  Well... let's add to the fun, former MTV Jock Carson Daly will play the "Ryan Seacrest" of the show.  

What do you think? Do we need more of these singing shows?  Personally, sitting through two hours of an American Idol episode for 2 days in a row and then an hour on the third day, leaves no room for shows on mine and Ryan's DVR this spring; it will burst into flames.  And then you (NBC) air the show during and American Idol season, seriously?  

I don't know, you be the judge.

Hey, if Christina belts it out like a mini van engine getting started up, Cee-Lo Green continues to dress up like a fat ass Muppet, and Adam Levine is still uber dead sexy as always and even sometimes shirtless, then I think we might have to catch this redone reality show coming this.....whenever.

Then again, my time is valuable so maybe not.
