Good call. After about a week, we'll never hear his name again.

I wouldn't even give it a week. By Friday, he'll just be "that black dude that was on that show."

BTW, if you're on Twitter, you should be following Blake Shelton. Guy has a potty mouth, he's hilarious, and he drunk tweets. One of the best follows on Twitter.

Funny that he messed up on Twitter and said "wides" instead of "wifes". Cuz, her hips definitely speak WIDES.

But, I'm glad to see Javier win. I was rooting for Bev, but Jav and Vikki winning was fine with me. Dia pains me to no end.

Any show where they "search the country" for the next-big-whatever is basically a sham. This show is no different. The producers can fudge the numbers on votes, hand pick people to go however far they want, and do whatever they can to keep ratings up. None of these shows are authentic, and if you go in realizing that, it's easier to just enjoy it as a show.


The finals consisted of 2 gays, 1 black and a wholesome looking girl. The show decided that the best choice for them would be the black guy, they figured if they choose any other performer there would be accusations of racism and then the protest would start against the network. The gays are an up and coming force thanks to Obama but they are not as vocal and ignorant as the NAACP, Yet. The wholesome girl never stood a chance with the network because there is no organization to fight for her, the days of America being wholesome are gone and this is what we will have to deal with, What a crock of shit.

I wish there was a final to the voices in my head. They tell me to do things....bad things.

I wish Dia would've won, but she'll win where it really matters....the bank account.

I only watched the first two episodes, and then again last night--and it was awesome...IMO it blew away any finale AI ever had. Combining these four contestants with the fours stars, and singing their hits as duets, was sheer genius. I loved it.

The performances have been great! I also like the fact that the coaches have a say in who gets through until the Finals. That eliminates the best people going home before they should.

Not at all, I honestly choose Nakia but He was voted out. Me being racist is a joke, but you have to call it the way it is nowadays with public media and blacks, if a network don't do as they want, they just threaten to protest because they know the networks don't want the bad publicity.

Early AI was way better than this show. Current AI is a joke. The Voice is coming along at the right time to overtake AI.

Having the coaches pick who moves on in the early rounds does NOT ensure the best move on... a couple really good singers were left out in the battle rounds.

Dia will not have a career...she flat out sucks. What is with the "whisper singing" (best way I can describe it). She can sing in a normal voice when she wants (but not well). It is like I said before...she is making an over the top attempt to have a unique sound rather than just singing. Unfortunately for her, she is failing at both. The only reason she is getting any downloads right now is because she is being pushed by a reality show. If she just tried to release music on her own without ever being on a show, she would fail.

Wasnt there something about Javier being on American Idol at one point? If so, AI can say "Our reject was the best on your show". That would seem good for AI wouldnt it?

I believe your way off base with Dia and I don't think Javier was ever on Idol. Frenchy was who was also on the Voice.

Javier once had a recording contract that fell thru.

I am unsure if the situation on this show fits what you are saying as I havent watched it other than the first episode or two, but I do agree with your premise.

There is no advocacy group for a straight, normal white person.

Soon, being normal will be seen as different and outcasts.

I dunno, Dia has already had some success in the music industry, being on the Warped tour for several years, also having a soundtrack on the TMNT movie. With the publicity of this show, I can see her having a very solid career.
