Boob Tube Babble

Boob Tube Babble
Today on Boob Tube Babble, I’m talking about The Voice again!
 
I am just really loving this show!
 
My favorite this week:

Raquel Castro
She is 16 years old and she is adorable! She has such a powerful voice for being so young.
Also on this week’s episode was Taylor & Tori Thompson
I’m going to show how nerdy I am right now. When I saw them, I knew exactly who they were. Back in like 2004 or so, American Idol did a spinoff show called American Juniors. It was basically American Idol, but instead of a solo artist, they were forming a kids group. Taylor and Tori made the group.

They were so cute!

Also in the group with them was Lucy Hale, who is on Pretty Little Liars now! They released an album but never did much together after that. It was really cool seeing the girls on the show. I hope they do well!
Last week, I talked about my favorites from that night, Elenowen.
I downloaded their album on iTunes on Wednesday night.
I started listening right away, and I really really enjoyed it. I tweeted about loving it, and when I woke up this morning, I saw this on my phone!
Kinda cool!
What are you watching this week? Link up your tv chats with Neely & Meagan!
Also, super big congratulations to Meagan on Baby Chase! He’s a cutie!

Hey y’all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Dallas Blogger Meet-up was such a great time! I’m still working through all the pictures trying to organize all of them, so hopefully I can get a post together sometime tomorrow. The other reason I don’t have a post ready?

I think the little guy missed me! He keeps getting between me and my computer.

I’m off to bed now, so I’ll leave you with a couple of pictures to hold you over until the recap comes. :)
