I'll probably tune in near the end to hear the finalists and see who wins. But I do love The Voice! Everyone who makes it to even the first day is a great singer, then they have to narrow it down to the best.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Shea!Lynne Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221452684484215980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182828981001582609.post-28938131480612631972013-01-29T22:17:51.555-06:002013-01-29T22:17:51.555-06:00Love this post!

American Idol, purposely picks people that suck or are train wrecks for the sake of good TV (which became increasingly obvious to me over the years). I had a friend that actually made it all the way to LA and she confirmed. Anywhoo, I think researching who will be potentially giving you a pass is a brilliant idea. Send/make your stuff where it's more likely to get love first. Then try the rest, just to see. I'm for exploring all options, BUT being smart about it.Sheahttp://ww.thefoodiechronicles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182828981001582609.post-49950190191403939532013-01-24T20:45:39.738-06:002013-01-24T20:45:39.738-06:00That's true, it was tough competition for just...That's true, it was tough competition for just four spots on each team, but they weren't trying out with a buttload of people. It seemed like they were all great cooks or had had some success, so there had to have been some screening process before the show to just let through the best contenders. So we could compare that to an intern going though a mountainous slush pile and picking out a few good manuscripts to pass along to the agent.<br /><br />There's another way it was like The Voice-- everyone who makes it onto the blind auditions is good. (Unlike on American Idol, where we see all kinds.)Lynne Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221452684484215980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182828981001582609.post-1631772296271096432013-01-24T20:32:40.126-06:002013-01-24T20:32:40.126-06:00I think *one bite* is still easier than *one line*...I think *one bite* is still easier than *one line*, especially if there aren't hundreds of bites competing for one spot...<br />But I like your analogy.
