Does anyone watch "The Voice"?

This Jordan Smith has to win this year.  I've yet to hear him do a bad song.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Don't do TV.  But I have a hard time listening people I call screamers.

He has a high voice, but I don't think he's a screamer at all. 

Thirty minutes after he sang it live, he knocked "Adele" out of the top spot on the I-tune chart.

Well you could be right.  But I don't need my hearing aids to hear him.   :lol:

It sounded a lot better on TV than on youtube.   I'm sure the acoustics are even better at the studio where it's broadcast from.

This one's "Wrong Side of Heaven," by a group calling itself Five Finger Death Punch, and it is a very loud song on how military vets are treated in America. This is Grade-A material, once you get past the volume.

I can tell you I was born in 77 and maybe it is just my age but most of what I hear today is absolute garbage.

They don't have musicians on the radio any more..... they have an image coupled with an army of sound engineers and PR reps. Actual talent is not even a secondary thought.

Just my opinion.

I can think of a dozen sound-alike girl groups from the 60s, and even back into the 40s with the Boswells, and Andrews, Sisters ruling that roost. But in point of fact the packaging of musical stars is nothing new...and talent has the least to do with it. Examples begin with the Disney studios and the way they completely reinvent (and totally mess up) their juvenile stars.

Let's face it. The hotter the girl, the greater the male audience. Lindsay Stirling is a terrific violinist, but without her brazenly good looks, would she be nearly as popular? Video makes the stars these days. The Buggles were right. Video killed the radio star.
