A Few More Articles…

If you missed it, here’s my Starpulse blog from this week’s eliminations show, with the post-show quotes and analysis of the picks (or lack thereof).

But the one I really love is this article here where I get to talk about the behind-the-scenes stuff I couldn’t get into a news post. I say goodbye to some friends, talk about almost tripping on stage, and thank my coach Adam Levine for doing something very special this week.

Things I learned from The Voice: season 2 auditions

I wrote a column about my audition for season 2 of The Voice for CliqueClack. You can read it by clicking the link in the quote below.

Season two of ‘The Voice’ is still five months away. That’s plenty of time for this intrepid reporter (and unofficial ninth member of Team Adam) to join thousands of hopeful performers in Los Angeles and live to tell about it. Here’s my audition-day diary.

On the way out, I spotted someone who looked an awful lot like season 1 winner Javier Colon in the parking lot. Unfortunately, it wasn’t him. How cool would that have been?

“I love you, Adam Levine.”

At CliqueClack this week, I write an open letter to my coach, Adam Levine. You can read it by clicking on the link in the quote below.

He’s the Grammy-winning front man of Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera’s arch-nemesis, and the guy who jokingly threatened to stab James Oseland with a fork. But most importantly, ‘Voice’ coach Adam Levine is my unabashed celebrity crush.

What’s not to love about Adam, huh? (I mean that in a platonic way, of course.)
