The Voice: The Gwen and Blake Mistake

One of the things I love most about NBC’s "The Voice" is the refreshing take on competition in today’s world. The “blind auditions” eliminate any bias in judgment due to race, gender, height, religion, fashion, style, and the list goes. With the many debates on discrimination going on, such as feminism campaigns, black lives matter, and so many more, "The Voice" brings communities together in a refreshing way.

The competition is based solely off of the singer’s voices and their voices alone. NBC’s "The Voice" is organized in a way that no other talent competition show has been set up in the past. With the interesting different rounds, such as auditions, knockouts, and the battles, the competition stays tough and intense the whole time! One of my favorite things about the show is the four judges every season. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are a staple to the show’s aura. Their never-ending banter keeps everyone laughing. The other two judges rotate with each new season which keeps the opinions fresh. This season, the other two judges are the returning American singer and songwriters Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys. If you live in a house like mine, "The Voice" is a weekly tradition that gets the family gathered on the couch with popcorn in hand.

Although, this season has brought quite a change, not only in my family’s opinion, but in the viewer's population as well. We are all aware and have all heard of the recently new relationship between Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Both Blake and Gwen were married and decided to get divorced around the same time. Regardless of the reasons for each splitting off their marriages, whether for each other or not, the public display of their relationship on the television is annoying and inappropriate, and according to the ratings, I am not the only one who feels this way.

The two judges Blake and Gwen have managed to take the spotlight off of the amazing and talented singers and place it on themselves. The couple takes every opportunity to display their relationship and love for each other. "The Voice" lost nearly two million viewers practically overnight and I think the ceaseless flirting between the love birds is to blame. Now, not only does Blake share a brother like relationship with Adam on the show, but now a romantic one with Gwen as well.

I think that hopefully if the flirting stops, the rapidly dropping ratings will as well!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
