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

football puppy saved by football soldier

Texas A&M has three cadets during football games to watch over their mascot. While Reveille was relaxing on the sidelines, a collision with a SMU player was avoided by the athletic move of the guardian cadet. (via)

reveille is my second favorite football puppy. UGA-ly is my least favorite football pile of mush.

in conclusion:

...my official early favorite voice contestant, elyjuh rene!

he is 18 and adorable and loves his mom and has braces and sang beyonce and picked pharell to be his coach and it was thrilling. it should be noted that i watched the first ep of the season last night and the new judges have wonderfully entertaining banter and gwen is still amazing and pharell is the sweeeeetest. second episode is on tonight if you wanna get in early.

bonus link: all 4 judges perform "hella good" together.
