So what makes a great reality judge? Is it the ability to make solid judgments about the contestants? Is it expertise? Flair? An on-stage pet, Cee Lo Green style?
"On the way to the hospital you stopped breathing. Straight out flat lined. After, we resuscitated you, you whispered, 'I ... want ... to ... live.' Within minutes, you flat lined again. After we brought you back, again, faintly we heard, 'I ... want ... to ... live.'"
On the last night before the winner of "The Voice" Season 2 is revealed, the four finalists -- Jermaine Paul, Juliet Simms, Chris Mann and Tony Lucca --sang thrice: a duet, a tribute and a final performance that viewers will vote on.
I commend the good intentions that go into The Voice, and although I am even a fan of the show, I am not convinced that a person's throat is their most valuable body part in the end.
It's shocking that we're only a week away from the Season 2 finale, when a winner will be crowned. But for now, Christina Aguilera is the one wearing the tiara.
"The Voice" kicked off this week which a serious case of the giggles and what was to come was easily the most bizarre episode of this show ever. But once we learn, we wish we were still in the dark: Cee Lo is having some gas issues.
Blake makes some disturbing comment about throwing his panties at James Massone (Gross, Dad!), but Coadge Cee Lo is proud to have a blossoming ladies' man on his team. We're not quite seeing it. We just see that headband.
As Jer's performance begins, we are instantly reminded of how ridiculously theatrical the performances can get on "The Voice": He emerges from a cloud of smoke in the back of the theater like the *NSYNC Pop Odyssey tour.

Unlike some of Season 1's standouts, we've yet to see a battle become more like a complimentary duet. That is, until tonight.
Though we were largely underwhelmed by last week's Battle Rounds, the second installment this week certainly made up for it. But this episode also brought two competitive duets that tore our hearts out because we loved both contestants so much.
Whitney does differentiate herself from her previous competitors when it comes to her name, in that it is not like the Pips and Jonathuses and Charlotte Sometimes and Duckies we have seen.
James Massone is a 23-year-old Bostonian (with the accent to prove it) who works in his family's auto shop. James wants to get out of the body shop and make a career out of his singing,
The judges faced the audience and listened as Campbell, a single father, belted out the first few notes of 'A Song for You," originally performed by Ray Charles.
We start to notice a new trend with the judges this season, in which the non-button pushing judges/coaches continue to try to justify their decision of not turning their chairs around.
His performance -- though heartfelt and adorable -- is subpar. He fails to impress the judges and no one's chair turns around by the time the song ends.
