    The Voice Feels The Pressure Before Its Big Finish

    via Rickey​ Already, The Voice is just about over. Tomorrow, the field of four contestants gets wiped away and we get a winner. This show could've kept going for another three months or so if it followed a less fucked-up elimination schedule, but maybe NBC didn't realize they had an actual hit ... More >>

    "Take Me By The Tongue" As A Come-On: Sexy Or Kinda Gross?

    ​Well, "Moves Like Jagger," the Voice-synergizing duet between Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera that raises the sexual specter of the Rolling Stones frontman while, some hope, making people forget about Aguilera's overall pretty terrible 2010, has landed.
