definitely not a nashville party
Jessie J, singer and actual writer of "Party in the USA," said the songwriting royalties paid her rent for more than 3 years. I think she deserves every penny and more for giving me one of my alltime karaoke dance hitz.

too many cook(ie)s
our office gets spoiled with so many sweets and i can't believe i'm saying this, but we have too many cookies! augh! i'm gonna hibernate until christmas. happy friday.
i'm not mad at it
read this cute interview between bffs saint and cakes da killa
SAINT: [laughs] You being in L.A., it started as such an un-planned thing that we had no idea what we were going to do so we ended up going to the Cheesecake Factory. [laughs] You were so mad that you ordered, like, a five course meal and I was eating lemons.
CAKES DA KILLA: [laughs] That's when I realized we would be great friends, but we were such extremes, complete opposites—me eating this bowl of pasta and shrimp, and you with lemons, making me feel horrible about myself. Also, you yelling at me because I wanted to take leftovers and you were like, "You're not putting that shit in my car."
SAINT: That shrimp would have gone foul real quick, especially going to that party afterwards. Imagine dealing with that, then getting back in the car and it smelling like shit. How was the U.S. tour?
CAKES DA KILLA: Oh, the tour was cute

THE VOICE REPORT FINALE AND WINNER EDITION
i hope that you haven't tired of my voice reports. this is probably the first time i've watched a full season all the way to the end. and i worked late monday which means i watched all four hours of the last two episode in succession last night. so i am going to hit you with all my favorites in a row, and there's a bunch, so buckle up.
jicyww, the first of two finale episodes included each finalist doing a traditional performance of a song selected by the coach, one duet with the coach, and one original songwriter-written song picked by the coach (matt wrote his own).
boyfriends chris jamison and adam levine do robin thicke's maybe-best-song "lost without u".
here's what damien as an actual solo artist might look like, singing a max martin-penned original song "soldier". boring.
more falsetto in matt's duet with adam singing an adam levine song from some movie?
we were also treated to chris jamison doing some timberlake.
on to the second part of the finale, which was an amazing collection of guest performances, some including contestants. there was so much to see here.
if you've never seen hozier do "take me to church" live, you should check this out. talk about the VOICE.
watch bruno mars do that funk song in CURLERS!!!!
damien joined j-hud for one of her songs and omg she looks incredible!
and i absolutely loved this performance by jessie j with chris j.
you may have noticed that nowhere in this post was craig wayne boyd mentioned. despite my complete lack of interest in his brand of musicianship, he won the voice. so WHATEVER. #teamelyjuh
i did love his "bring back" performance with fellow contestants danica, taylor brashears, and sugar joans. worth a watch.
also, please do not miss gwen vamping in this little christmas diddy by the coaches.
see y'all next season!

helpful amazon review
So I went down an Amazon rabbit hole and found this product. As I read through many glowing reviews, I came to this one:
Seeing as I purchase a lot of things from thrift stores with unknown origins, I'd say this review was quite helpful to me.
based on this photo alone, i will be watching Netflix's Marco Polo

look at the rest of these insane pictures.
the voice report
well well well, the stylists at the voice certainly took pantone's 2015 color of the year very seriously. everyone in the top 5 was basically dressed in head-to-toe chicken marsala.
lets begin where it ended, the last performance by chris jamison, dressed as mentioned. he's singing bruno mars' "when i was your man", which is confusing because bruno mars is clearly a lady.
hands down, my fave performance of the night was taylor john's take on taylor swift's hit "blank space". as you can see, he's also wearing chicken marsala.
and damien, who i've always said sings flawlessly but is boring, finally did something i could get behind. and that is a pAuLa CoLe cover!!!! omg i just loooooooved it.
watch them all at the voice's youtube channel. gawker recap here!
tonight, two more will be cut. then they will add back someone from the top 12, based on america's vote. it better be a woman (not you, sugar joans).

behind the scenes bey
In line with her recent retrospective, gift-that-keeps-giving bent, Beyoncé's YouTube channel published a behind-the-scenes video featuring director Jonas Åkerlund, who worked with the singer on the "Haunted" and "Superpower" vids, talking about what the creative process was like (Vulture chatted with him last year). "If you want your average video, I'm probably not your guy," he says. "Part of my challenge with her is to take her to places that maybe she hasn't been." (via)

the voice report
omg you guys last night was sooooooo good. did you know that of the top 8, there is only one lady left? that lady is danica, and she is amazing. she did just fine with pharell's choice of legendary 80s female pop-duo heart's (!) "these dreams", but it was just nothing compared to these three performances:
adam asked his boyfriend chris to sing "sexual healing" just for him.
i continue to love taylor john's re-arrangements, and this version of "royals" was just wonderful.
and good luck not crying during matt's "the blower's daughter"
they are cutting three tonight, and my predictions are: ryan / craig wayne boyd / damien
gawker recap here (she nails it this week, but doesn't she always?)
