Has “The Voice” Lost Its Focus?
June 29, 2011 12:26 PM I think the thing that most made me want to watch NBC’s latest talent contest, “The Voice” was the promo that kept running insisting that contestants would be judged strictly on their voice. Of course that’s how things went in the blind audtion round, but now it seems like things have really gone off the deep end.
If you watched NBC at all this spring, it’s a sure thing that you saw a promo like this
Funny, that Javier Colon, shown in the clip, still has a very good shot at winning it all. He has continued to show off just his voice at what brought him to the finals. However, this show that was so much about ONLY the voice, brought us a very interesting performance last night.

Wow guys! 8 year old Thunderdome kids popping and locking, fire, and Cee Lo Green looking like a combo between Animal from the Muppets and Animal from the Legion of Doom
I’m not taking anything away from Vicci’s voice, but Cee Lo sure did. To me, I think “The Voice” just became every other talent show, all about the hoopla. Sure it was a cool performance, but that’s not what this show was based on. But then again, that’s why the show’s on TV and I’m in radio.

Product placement and sponsorship can be a precarious situation. Companies who spend millions of dollars on a branding campaign can wind up coming across as too pushy or stiff to relate to consumers.

Female Arm Wrestler Has a Scream That Will Scare the Pants Off of You
May 19, 2013 10:00 AM I am NOT athletic at all. So, my tactic to win or at least appear like some sort of competition to my opponent is to look the part or sound the part. This female arm wrestler must have taken a play right out of the Leslie Morgan play book. Rule number 1....make your bark SO big, they won't notice you have no bite!! ;-)
Her scream would scare even the biggest, toughest male arm wrestler!

‘Sad Cat Diary’ Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Mind of a Cat
May 19, 2013 4:00 AM As, you know, Jon refers to me as 'The Cat Lady' on the air. Just because I adopted my first cat a year ago and have since acquired 7 more, doesn't make me a cat lady. Or does it??? ;-) Ok, I know it would appear that I, if I'm not the cat lady NOW, I am well on my way. In the past year, I have become very in tune with cats and all of their personalities. Maybe that's why I love them so much and they, in turn, are drawn to me. lol
I found a video that gives a little insight to the mind of the sad cat (which is only ONE of their many personalities) Watch, learn and laugh!! It's seriously, hilarious!
