Just out of curiosity ...

... is anybody else excited by The Voice?

I wasn't sure when I first saw the commercials, the more I learn about it, the more I genuinely like the concept and feel as though I would have watched AI from the very beginning if this had been it. It's four judges I've seen perform and heard sing and therefore know have the talent to back up critiquing other singers, and they're the ones mentoring the singers they choose. And they don't get to see the singers until they're picked them out by voice, thereby keeping them from picking out singers who don't need that much work to make things easier on themselves.

It's like they made a singing competition that actually eliminates nearly all of the problems I have with singing competitions.

I don't (still) watch AI because of the issues I have with how it works. But, yes, I am thinking I will watch this, and okay, NBC has been playing a thing after the late local news in which the four of them, the judges, sing "Crazy" together? I sort of want that cover.

And I also want them to collectively and individually cover each other's stuff all season long. Like, I want Cee Lo and Country Guy to cover Genie in a Bottle. :D
