would you like a long-ish read?

emilube sent me this interview with drake's vocal coach, who is credited with forming his unique style as a singer / rapper. it provides some really interesting insight into the artistic processes of both, and drake's evolution as an artist.

now i'm going to have a drake day on spotify.

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?)

the voice report

taylor swift is a guest coach on the judge on the voice this week, everybody. y'all know how i feel about her, but i kept my mind open. she was a helpful, competent advisor, and also a total weirdo. she made adam look stupid, which i liked. she seemed legitimately nervous around pharell and gwen, which i also liked.


this was my fave performance of the night, and it somehow wasn't good enough to stay. at this point, i would like to go on record by saying "trend alert": the judges have allowed three (3) excellent black female performers to be eliminated. i don't care for this trend.


also, this. this guy's probs my second fave (#teamelyjuh).


and i'll show you this one because i can't stand this bitch, but the coaches think she's just great. this is the second ellie goulding song she's done in a row and i wish she'd stop it.

if you're #teamelyjuh don't worry, he will be performing tonight. in the preview they show gwen making a dramatic steal, after which she stands up and exclaims "i feel like i just won the voice!" wonder what that's about.

gawker recap.

the voice report

last night brought another incredibly entertaining blind auditions ep. this was the obvious standout performance from a seasoned back-up and session singer, who has maybe the world's most flawlessly supportive mother. the only thing better than her performance was gwen's shameless recruiting tactics. "you like fashion?"

i will note that i don't think i've once seen gwen be the first to push her button, though.

gawker round-up here.


 UPDATE!!!!

This is awesome - @MaiyaSykes1 who sang the #BillyontheStreet theme song killed on The Voice last night!! CONGRATS!! https://t.co/NEtIi7VWaQ
