I only watch the seaons Shakira and Usher are on because I cant deal with the other two they replace. I love the audition episodes but the show sort of loses me soon after with these silly knock out rounds where people sing in a boxing ring. Anyway, I liked the guy who sang Twisting The Night Away and the other guy who sang Me And Mrs Jones.

My mom loves watching The Voice and while I enjoy it, I just never watch it, lol. The talent always seems better than on Idol.

I'm just wondering why ratings are falling if the talent is so good. Maybe two seasons a year is a bit much?

IDK. I thought AI was dipping more drastically than TV. I think it's really interesting that nothing ever seems to happen with the contestants when the shows end. Maybe I'm just missing it because I'm not really up on the music scene at all. But to my knowledge, there've been no real break out stars like a Kelly Clarkson or Catherine McPhee etc.

Another thing is the difference in the judges/coaches. The Voice has a marquis of younger, hipper, coaches (of course that's based on my admittedly limited awareness about what is hip in music these days), but the talent on The Voice seems to skew a lot older. They have some very young talent, but then there are a lot of their singers that are much older with families, etc. While on AI, the judges seem to be older and not really "current" hot commodities. Keith Urban may be the exception but I don't think JLo or Harry Connick Jr. are showing up on the Grammy Stage a lot, or MTV, etc. But the talent seems to skew much younger.

I know English isnt Shakira's first language and this is snobby, but someone really needs to explain the word "unique" to her. She's told so many artists that they have "one of the most unique voices in the competition". That's an oxymoron. Something is either unique, meaning one of a kind, or it isn't. It can't be "most" unique. There's only one. It certainly can't be "one of the most". Aaaaarrrrrghhh. Sorry for the rant. Pet peeve.

      In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.

      Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.

      Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

      Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc.

      I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.
