Where's Tim? Just looked up the chart history of the winners of the 20 seasons of The Voice. It's terrible. The show has one successful alum - MDH Mar 30, 18:10 23

        It had been a while, but I Hope by Gabby Barrett was a big radio hit last year and she was from Idol (not a winner, though.) -- nm - Tim Mar 30, 20:08

    - Thankfully, without an ounce of arousal. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 18:16
    - I'd have to check but I don't think he had that expr 10yrs ago. I think he's trying to copy Anderson Cooper's "serious pay attention face" and failing -- nm - Max Mar 30, 18:16 2
      - maybe not that long ago but in the Trump era. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 18:16 1
