Jermaine Paul the winner

So Jermaine won the whole thing. Juliet came second. Tony came 3rd and Chris got 4th place. It took 2 hours to finally know the results. I wish I knew it would be at the end so I could have watched something else.

Juliet Simms is my winner.

After this season I am not that excited to see season 3. Either people vote for the good looking singers or the team. The fact that Chris Mann was 4th is terrible. He should at least be 3rd. He is a far better singer than Tony Lucca. I blame it on the drama between Adam and Christina. It’s a shame because Chris I believe could have done better.

If you went by the charts on Itunes, Tony Lucca would be the winner. All this just makes me feel it’s another popularity contest and not a singing competition. The fact that the teams are competing with each other makes this stuff happen. I thought the audience would be able to forget about who the team captains were and consider who the best singer was. I guess I was wrong. I didn’t even consider the team when I decided who I wanted to win. I actually have read some articles and comments that people voted for the team and not the singer.

We will find out who really is the winner when their albums all come out. I have a feeling Jermaine will have a good career but won’t be at the top of the charts. Juliet might be able to do better but I also think she won’t be able to break through to the top. I am not sure anyone from this season will break through. I don’t think The Voice will ever find a singer who can be at the top of the charts because there are too many flaws in the show.

Last episode changed my mind a little. I actually got worried for Juliet because her first 2 songs were not amazing. Jermaine’s Song, “I believe I can fly” was very good. The song he did for Blake was great also. Chris Mann sang very well also. I still think Tony has no chance. His song choices was not good and I didn’t like “Ninety-Nine Problems”. He did very well singing with Adam, “Yesterday” which I thought was his best.

After thinking about everything I think Chris Mann and Tony Lucca has no chance of winning. It’s between Jermaine Paul and Juliet Simms. My heart says Juliet. The passion she puts in to her songs really make her the best out of all of them. Jermaine was great also and I really would say he won if it wasn’t for Juliet’s “Free bird” song which was awesome! I really think that Jermaine might win. It’s looking like the same situation as last year when Javier Colon won. I wanted Dia Frampton to win.

So I really want Juliet to win but I have a bad feeling Jermaine will get those votes. I actually voted for Juliet of course but gave a few votes to Jermaine also. No matter what happens all of them will have gained a lot from the show. Now to look forward to their albums in the future.

From last year’s contestants I have bought 2 albums. I bought Dia frampton’s and Xenia’s albums. Surprisingly I have listened to more of Xenia’s music. She just has such a unique voice but did not have the stage presence on the show. Now to wait for the result show.

I do like the singing battles a lot. That is probably the best part of the show for me because I haven’t seen something like that done anywhere else. It’s unique and brings in some great performances. Once the real team singing starts and the public has their chance it starts to be the same as other shows. The fact that the teams are battling against each other brings in some interesting developments. The judges have more say in who stays and goes which I believe is good for their team. I have strongly disagreed with some of the judges and public decisions but it’s too late to talk about that now.

Tony Lucca is a good singer. I really enjoyed his rendition of the Britney Spears song. I have to agree with him being the last on Team Adam. He’s good but he is not my favorite. I wouldn’t want him to win.

Jermaine Paul is a very good singer and I totally agree with this result. He has a great voice and probably will do good after the show. I also don’t think he should win but I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins especially looking at the public votes.

Chris Mann is a fantastic singer. I love his voice so much even when he doesn’t sing opera. He gives me chills when he sings. I have to say I thought Lindsey was better and a more interesting singer. I can see myself listening to her music more than his. For me I was happy with either being the last on Team Christina. I still don’t want him to win. He would be my second personal choice and I would be very surprised if the public votes for him.

Juliet Simms is an amazing singer. I feel she is the best singer of all of them. I want her to win and I also believe the public might vote for her. I actually voted for her many times and bought her songs on itunes. She is perfect when she does rock music which is probably my favorite music of them all. She has been one of my favorites since this show started.

Now we have to wait for next week to see their last performances and vote. I am not sure if I’ll change my mind but I really feel it’s going to be between Juliet Simms and Jermaine Paul. I would be totally surprised if the others win.

Adam

Cassi

Dominic

Kalia

Keith

Lawon

Porsche

Shelly

Brendon

Rachel

I know a lot of people hate Rachel mostly because of her voice. I don’t have much problems with these two. I wouldn’t want them to win, though.

Evel Dick

Daniele

Evel Dick will make the show interesting. I don’t know enough about Daniele to make a decision about her. I feel bad that they haven’t talked for years. It’s a shame for family members to be like that with each other. I don’t know why or care. I already heard Dick has left the house for some reason and We will find out more next Wednesday. Shame for entertainment value but I didn’t want him to get far in the game anyway.

Jeff

Jordan

These two are probably my favorites from the previous housemates. Not sure if I want them to win or not but it probably wouldn’t be a problem.

I’m watching the 2nd episode as I finish this post but I won’t comment on it this time. I’ll probably be posting for each episode if I can. Sometimes I’ll talk about spoilers or rumors I get from other forums. Jokersupdates.com is my favorite forum to read. I haven’t paid for the live feeds and won’t. They are usually boring to me anyway. I did it for season 2 and I understood the housemates a lot better but quite boring watching them all the time. Other people will post about the daily happenings in the house.

This post is about todays show which I thought was outstanding. I didn’t hear one thing I didn’t like. I liked all the singers but I do have some favorites who I liked before this show. Some of that has changed. So I’ll pick through this episode now.

Javier Colon is good. Really good actually. I loved the duet he did with Adam. He did a great job singing the “man in the mirror.” His original song, “Stitch by Stitch” was a good song and he sang it very well. This is where I get torn. He’s a great singer but I thought the other singers were better. I also had to weigh in all the other performances during the show to make my decision on who wins. He comes in 4th on my list and I really feel sad about it.

Now I get to Vicci Martinez who I have absolutely loved through the show. She does remind me of pat benatar who I am a big fan of. I love her voice. Her energy really pulls me in when she sings. Before this show she was my 2nd best but now I had to put her down to 3. Her original song, “Afraid to sleep” was good but not as good as I would want. What really tears me up was her duet with Cee lo. She was amazing in that duet. To me her duet with Cee lo was the best out of all of them. I really have a hard time putting her at #3. I would rather have her tied at 2nd but I have to make a decision.

2nd best for me was Beverly Mcclellan. Her original song, “Lovesick” to me was the best because she had such great energy and I really liked the song. I could see this song on the radio and in clubs! Her duet with Christina really was awesome. Was such a right fit for her. The reason I didn’t put her as the winner was because she wasn’t my favorite before this show. The only reason she is in 2nd instead of 3rd was due to her singing and performance in this episode. I really feel Vicci and Beverly Tied in this show.

So my winner is Dia Frampton. Her voice really was unique and great from the beginning. She became my favorite with her performance of Heartless. That was the only song I bought on Itunes before today. I didn’t even know she had videos on Youtube which I visit a lot so I was really happy to find more music from her. Her original song, “Inventing Shadows” was fantastic. It was her voice that really turned that song into a great song. I really loved that she can play instruments too. That is very important in an artist to me these days. I even bought some of her songs from her past albums. Her duet with Blake wasn’t as good as others but it was still good enough for me.

There you go. That’s how I saw this episode and my thoughts. I can’t say I hated any singer and probably would buy some songs from each singer. If I decide to buy another song it might be from Vicci because of her energy. I love that energy in a singer and her voice really is great.

The first problem is that it came from the idea of American idol which totally works. The contestant on Idol must actually be able to sing and have some personality to win! Their back story would make sense to know who the person is inside and out. Let’s face it, An invention is an invention! Their back story of the inventor doesn’t matter too much. Sure it’s great to find out why they created the invention. It feels good to know they put in so much of their life into what they believe. But it doesn’t make a good invention. This show is only looking for inventors with good sob stories. I bet they passed on some great inventions from great inventors. I can even point you to a website with some details here from Americaninventorspot.com. Be sure to read the comments on that post to understand further. I would have loved the solar cooler to go further. Makes so much more sense in these fuel problem days!

Another problem is the inventions that have gotten through can be found already on the market or a similar product available! I am not going to talk bad about the inventions or the inventors that have gone through. I just think there must be something better out there. Another problem is letting the judges make the decisions for too long!! Give the audience a chance now! Not at the end when we’ll only have 4 choices I hope. Sure it might come down to popularity at the end but any voting by the public will always come down to that. Also way too much air time of previous inventions. I could care less about them now because your judges already dismissed them. Sure it was fun to see crazy people on TV but I think it lessens the impact of this show. Just makes it a talent show and not the best of the best!

But I was disappointed at the end. My favorite housemate, Janelle, did not win. She came in 3rd and was loved by the fans. Kaysar was loved by the fans too. I thought he was a good player but lost because he was too trusting to Jennifer. Howie was a wild guy in the house who made the show so fun to watch. Rachel was a fun person to watch trying to guide Howie, her secret partner, through the game. Michael was totally wronged by the friendship people. He did nothing wrong but was accused of terrible things. The friendship let these beliefs hold their team together even after they knew the accusations were lies. Wish I could have seen more of Ashlea but what I’ve seen I think she’s a wonderful person. James were hands down the greatest player on big brother since Will Kirby of Big Brother 2. He knew what was needed to win and he tried as hard as possible. The problem with his strategy was the two teams were too solid. He wouldn’t be able to break them apart so he had no chance to get to the end. Sarah was a very sweet person and didn’t deserve to be evicted. I hope good things will happen for her in the future.

This is the part I don’t want to write about. The Friendship had the worst people I’ve ever seen in Big Brother history or another reality series. The Chill town from Big Brother 2 used to be the worst but at least they knew that they weren’t on a moral high ground. I hate hypocrisy and the friendship showed every single type of hypocrisy you can imagine. They thought they were the best, never lied, trustworthy and favorites. Every single thing they thought of themselves were false. They talked bad about every other person and they talked about very superficial things like Janelle having hair extensions. They lied to people and they really thought their lies were pure. They were very trustworthy to Eric and Maggie. They were all Worshiping Eric and Maggie. Shows me how easy it is to follow a cult so fast. I feel very sorry for Ivette because she wouldn’t have liked those people in her group if she was outside. Listening to her now that she’s out of the game she agrees that she would have been friends with the other side. She’s one of the persons this season who will learn the most and be able to change her self for the good. She was terrible in the house but she is growing on me now. Her secret partnerBeau wasn’t a very nice person too. He wasn’t a good player in the house at all. April might be the other person who will learn about herself and change for the good as well. She finally saw that she had done bad things in the house at the end of the game. Her Secret partner, Jennifer, is so delusional I can’t believe it. She is hated by the fans of Big Brother so much. She lied or went back on her word to Kaysar and took him out of the game even after America voted him back inside the house. A very Stupid mistake on her part for the game and outside of the game.

I have written so much about this so I need to stop. Maybe I’ll write about these people again after I learn more about them outside of the house. So at the end I was entertained but still disappointed who won at the end which Was Maggie . I even had to stop watching when my favorites would lose. Once I heard something good happen then I would start watching the shows I missed. Guess I’ll have to wait for next year and hope I can be satisfied next time.

Nelson was a very intimidating person. He loved making people feel bad. Constance was almost the same as Nelson but had a better character than him. Angela loved to gossip and was very cruel with her words. Greg was a part of the twin Twist. He was the emotional brother and more understanding of others. David was the other half of the twins. He wasn’t very nice or understanding towards others. Dean was the worst of the bunch. He needed to control everyone and the housemates let him. I was so glad he was evicted cause he was disgusting. Geneva was a very special person but she loved talking bad about others. I wish she could have been more willing to be kind to others. I thought she was beautiful and an interesting person. Gianna was one of those perfect women who has the looks, talent and personality! Of course all the other women except Christie were jealous of her and never gave her the chance. Christie was so emotional and not too smart to understand how to deal with her girl friends. She found herself hanging out with the guys.

Glenn was not a nice man. He didn’t know how to treat a lady and was glad the viewers treated him badly. Heath was an OK guy. He wasn’t in the house for me to get a good sense of who he was. Hotdogs was a fun loving guy. He started to hang out and back up the guys too much. He finally realized this at the end of his time in the house. Kate was beautiful, smart and had a great personality. Melanie was just melanie. She was fun at times but boring at other times. Michael was way too bossy but had a nice side to him. He was friends with Rachael and Geneva so I liked him. Michelle was all about relationships. He relationship with Glenn was not fun to watch. Glenn just didn’t care much about their relationship. Rachael was a very beautiful and lovely woman. She came out rude sometimes but she had a very kind heart. I loved her personality and willing to just have fun! She was treated horribly by the other people. I felt bad for her. Rita Was just so talkative and she never heard others. Tim Was very intelligent and funny. I thought he had a good chance of winning. Vesna was my all time favorite!! She was funny, stood up for herself and caring for others. Hated how she was treated by some of the other housemates especially Dean and David.

The reason I feel Vesna lost and The Logans won was because David was out of the house able to vote for himself!! This is the worst thing that could ever happen! Tim and Vesna were the favorites. I never saw any polls putting the logans above those two. Something happened and I am totally mad about it. Vesna or Tim deserved to win more!

Mary was a very unique woman. She was very spiritual and knew at the beginning who the rest of the housemates were. Makosi was great at the beginning but she got too big headed with herself. I finally got fed up with her after she let Kemal think she was a mole. Roberto was a hot head and wanted everyone to be like him. Vanessa and Sam were lukewarm with me. Vanessa didn’t make me feel for her at all. Sam didn’t deserve the hatred she got from Lesley and the crowds. Lesley was way too opinionated and didn’t want to listen to anything. Craig should really look back on his behavior and learn from it. He needs a lot to learn about life. Kemal was a character but drove me crazy with his screams. Saskia was ok until she formed her team and thought she was too good to mingle with the others. End Of! I have to admit that I liked Maxwell. He was a character and funny but too hotheaded. Science was interesting and had lot of good things to say. His biggest trouble is that he didn’t listen and didn’t back down.

Derek was a very intriguing person. A manipulator and a sweet man all at the same time. He can be a bit too aggressive with his words. He can also be very kind and caring to others. I did like him. Kinga was way over the top! She was great entertainment. Orlaith was just a pretty woman to look at and Not much else. Anthony was always in the background doing his thing. He was entertaining at times and boring sometimes. He didn’t give me the entertainment I would think a winner should give. Eugene was funny, witty and very nice. He entertained me very much. I might be a bit biased because I am a geek like Eugene. It’s nice to see someone who is entertained by the little things in big brother. I really wanted him to win!! I can live with Anthony as the winner, though.

But the next post will be about the winner of the Australia Big Brother and I am not happy about it at all!

I watched Amazing Race 7 till the end and enjoyed it very much. I was happy to see Uchenna & Joyce Win. They deserved to win because of who they are. They treated everyone with respect and played the game for themselves not just to win over one particular team. I think if you try to win over one team then you forget about every other team and can make mistakes just like Susan/Patrick and Lynn/Alex.

I would have been equally happy if Rob/Amber won because they played the game and were always thinking ahead of others. Sometimes that thinking allowed them to be first and other times it cost them their lead. The fact that they are a reality tv winner already is an important point. It is unfair but I think the race is already flawed anyway. It’s geared for the television audience and not to the racers. I remember there was another show that was on NBC at the same time as AR came on. It was a race with no rules. The teams got placed somewhere they didn’t know with no money and had to get back to hawaii I think. Now that was a Real Race! no bunching up because they could take a plane, train, car or ship. But of course it was boring. Not very much intermingling of the racers and was obvious who was going to win. I could go on more but I will stop.
