Not Much Happened Or At Least Not Much That I Cared About But Still, Sorry This Is Late

“These are the words we use to say goodbye”

                       --Beck

My top five Prince songs:

Delirious

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

Let’s Go Crazy

Raspberry Beret

Little Red Corvette

I suppose if I was cooler I’d have deeper cuts, but these will do me just fine.

Sorry for the delay, it has been a busy week and frankly The Voice didn’t do a whole lot for me this time around.  This is going to be very short.  Here are how I ranked the singers and maybe a quick note or two on the show:

Shalyah Fearing – Deb (excited) “oh Shalyah, what are you gonna sing for us little girl???”  She quoted Kelly Clarkson lyrics.  That’s friggin’ adorable.

Hannah Huston – Man she is weird.  Deb turned me on to Etta James.  I like Etta James.  I don’t like Hannah Huston as much as I do Etta James, but do like her quite a bit.

Bryan Bautista – I have learned that my feeling about a romantic song changes when the singer becomes more known for an acrimonious divorce than his output.

Owen Danoff – I did not know the song that he sung, but it was a crazy cross of In The Year 2525 and Cat’s In The Cradle.  Won the sing-off but sure looks like he isn’t going to make it much longer.

Adam Wakefield – “It’s about setting up the foundation for where my roots lie.” 

Alisan Porter – Deb:  “No.  What is Alisan Porter wearing? No no no oh my so much no in that last 25 seconds.”  She is probably best but I liked others more this week.

Nick Hagelin --  wisely switches up to pimp the wife instead of the kid, well played, young man.

Mary Sarah – I was bored and didn’t pay attention.  Deb:  “she was good but don’t we already have Carrie Underwood?”

Daniel Passino – Debbie hated this so much.  I was mostly all right until the ending where I was “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?”

Laith Al-Saddi – I hadn’t noticed how much Laith resembles Paul Giamatti.  For the record I am ambivalent bordering on not caring for Paul Giamatti. 

Paxton Ingram – I feel nothing when Paxton sings.

Emily Keener – Pharrell!!  Why the hell didn’t you stop her?  That song choice was never going to sell, she was halfway done and I was writing that she was going home this week.  The judges praised her technique and maybe it was fine but that doesn’t matter IF THE SONG ISN’T ANY FUN TO LISTEN TO.  I was already getting annoyed with how logoed up Pharrell is all the time.  This is two strikes, pal.

I actually like that Adam has been dressing up the past couple weeks.  I don’t know what this show is doing to me but I don’t think it is healthy.

STANDINGS!! 

Hopefully I’ll be interesting next week.  Don’t hold your breath.

Resignedly,

Brother Pat
