We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm just watching the Sing Off finale now. I'm so in love with Courtney from the BackBeats! Shocker, I know.

Anyone going to watch Live to Dance tonight?

I'm just watching the Sing Off finale now. I'm so in love with Courtney from the BackBeats! Shocker, I know.

She ended up being the big surprise breakout performer of the season, didn't she? They didn't even have anything pre-filmed on her, but after just about every performance, the judges were plotzing all over her, and she walked away with the show at the end.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So far, Live to Dance is low on bullshit, so already this show is a winnah for me.

I had a higher priority tonight, but I`ll watch next ep if you guys say to. Is it a two a week schedule?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

How was Live to Dance? A childhood friend of mine was spotted in the commercial so I really want to see if I can catch her! (We danced together, actually... wherein she was much, MUCH better than I ever was!)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

LTD was not bad. I only saw the first hour so far, but it kept up a rapid pace, so I'm okay with that. I didn't like the uneven viewing of dancers (some got a LOT of time, others not so much). Some questionable decisions to move people on, but oh well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, so I finished LTD. The show is quite like the Got Talent shows but I wasn't as bored as I get with those shows (US and UK) sometimes. One problem with LTD is that I wasn't WOWED by any act yet. Typically at this stage, I can say: I really liked this group or that person and I'm not there yet. I think this is due to editing.

The schedule of the show is unknown so I have no idea how they will march 18 acts to the finale.

This show is pretty heavily produced, so I cannot imagine these are all first auditions. Some groups had SETS.

Top Chef is going to be EPIC tonight.
