AI vs. The Voice(and no - I am not a ____)

I watch both (I know, take my man card away). While I think AI is more "teenagerish" and I like the concept of The Voice....Christina is annoying. I keep telling her to shut up and get to the point (although, I do enjoy the low-cut outfits she wears). All of the judges on AI annoy the heck out of me.
I do think that some of the talent on AI is better than most of those on The Voice - love Elise and Phillip.
Something I've noticed is that the sound production on The Voice has been horrible at times. Bands and backing vocals have seemed to overwhelm the singer's audio. Even when Maroon 5 performed, I thought the mixing was sub-par. AI's production is superior.

I used to be very dedicated to AI but after Scotty winning last year (with Lauren runner up), I have kind of lost my love for the show. Actually, after Adam Lambert lost the year before, I was mad at the show but gave it another shot. He was clearly the best....IMO.
I watch The Voice occasionally but I really like the concept of that show - much more so than AI.
AI is definitely more "teenager-ish".

I watch both - and I can honestly say that last night while watching the voice, I actually said out loud - "Why in the hell are we watching this?" I don't like the host. I don't like Christina or Cee-low. I hate all the twitter crap they talk about constantly. I don't think that we get to see the contestants perform enough. The instant eliminations are crap. I do like the idea of coaching though, and being able to sing WHATEVER song you want to.

But I have issues with Idol also - I can't stand J-Lo or Steven Tyler. I don't understand why we have to hear them sing Motown or 80s night. That's not the type of Music they would be selling. So why base the entire competition off of crap that they will never sing?

Here's my thought. Combine the two. Get Randy, Adam Levine and Blake together on the Idol judging panel. Get rid of the Motown and 80s nights, let the contestants pick whatever song suits their voice best, and keep the voting like it is on Idol. None of this instant elimination crap. Go back to season one of Idol - with no stage performance, no lights, smoke or wind machines, captain america's flying through the background, or "X-tina" perfoming.

Let's hear them sing. Sing the songs I am going to put on my iPod when this is all said and done. For instance - last night on the voice - Katrina Parker sang Jar of Hearts. I can hear that on the radio right now, and she did amazing. I would buy that right now. But Cheesa - Whitney? Really? I mean she still has a great voice, but I wouldn't buy that. WE know you can sing. But you are telling me that out of EVERY SONG that has ever been written, THATS your choice? THATS your first single? It's old, and irrelevant, and I think she'll go home tonight for it.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

that was NOT the disagreement. The disagreement was what was more teenage~ish - ME watching AI or YOU watching The Voice WHILE READING the twilight series.

I love The Voice. I like that people have to be invited to try out, so it's all talent from the beginning. I like that they are coaches and not just judges. I like that the coaches pick talent they can work with because the coach of the winner is also considered the winner, but I love that they pick talent based on what they sound like and how the audience reacts, vs what the person looks like.

Also, I have a crush on Blake Shelton.

I have never watched American Idol.

J-Lo is just horrid...every time she opens her mouth I just want to reach through the screen & staple it shut

I second that. We'd get along just fine. We could throw our 94% fat free popcorn at the TV together while we scream at J-Lo for being so darn irritating.

Can I join you, please?
I counted the amount of times she used the phrase "and you made it your OWN!!!!!" in one show and lost count after about 15.
And that's not counting the slight variations on the phrase, either.
Ugh..she just irritates me to no end :explode:

Of course you can!
