I'm currently watching the latest episode of the Voice. For those of you that don't know, I absolutely love reality tv. I could watch it all day for years and years and years. So, obviously I was intrigued when I saw the first preview for this show. Not only does it deal with music (which is such a love for me more than anything in this world with movies coming in next).
Some songs have so much heart and soul in them and you are living on another planet if you think differently. This show has soul beyond soul. Christina, Blake, Cee-Lo and Adam... are combination unlike any other...and man... magical.
Their opening set was thrilling in for me. Four unique voices combined to make you shiver.
Before I post the opening set, I have to post this video with Jeff Jenkins singing Bless the Broken Road. I love cuntry music anyway, but this emulation of that song was... umm... absolutely perfect.
Take a look below if you haven't already seen it, but it doesn't matter... watch it again. The whole first episode is below if you'd like to watch it all.
I got chills just posting this here. I'm saying it here and now. This show will be around for a very long time and American Idol needs to re-evaluate. I used to lvoe American Idol, but it has definitely lost something over the years. I do really like the judges and there are some great singers that coem through that show. J-Hud is one of my favorites, so I don't want to discount what they do on that show. I think that The Voice has come at the right time to blow up... and let's hope it doesn't blow out Idol.
The competition between the judges adds a whole other level to this show. Everyone has a vested interest in doing byond the best. There is no room for failure for anyone and that will keep this interesting for those people that like music but love competition.
A few other things to mention is that Carson isn't extra... he makes a few jokes, but most of his commentary is about inspiration and music and love of this craft. Everyone on the show can sing. There are no fillers, just talent. Adam said that everyone on the show could win Idol. I think that may have been pushing it, but I do think that they could get on Idol and some could blow it out the water. These singers are not going anywhere and some of those that don't win or make it far will get picked up by someone.
Epsiode 2 is below and it is just as great, if not better than the first.
We're now 2 episodes in and I'm craving the next episode like I crave coffee. I need my fix and I need it now. Unfortunatlety, I can't zoom into next week every week, so I will just watch reruns.
NBC, you've found your Idol and it is stupendous!!!!
I'll try to post my favorites before next week's show.

Did you see Rebecca Loebe (who did Nirvana on the 1st show)? I know her through NACA stuff!
I love her voice. That's cool! What was she doing at NACA?
