The Voice Results: And Then There Were 8!

Following The Voice results of the previous three weeks, only nine singers remained heading into Tuesday’s intense elimination program. 


Nine singers … soon to be only eight. Just eight.



Oh yes, the competition hits the stretch run, it’s getting much, much harder to stay on the program, and oh, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.


As you know, Christina, Pharrell, Adam and Blake could only sit back, watch, hope, pray and urge Voice fans to back the right people.


Did they? Let’s break down The Voice results …


Declared SAFE based on America’s votes:


Hannah Huston


Bryan Bautista


Adam Wakefield


Laith Al-Saadi


Mary Sarah


Alisan Porter


Shalyah Fearing


Seven down and one to go, with eighth and ninth place iTunes sales and overall votes landing Paxton Ingram and Nick Hagelin in danger.


A distant eighth and ninth among their competitors in terms of singles sales, they duked it out for a last-minute reprieve and Twitter Save.


Paxton Ingram won it going away.


Fare thee well, Nick Hagelin. Fare thee well. And get ready to see FOUR of the eight remaining singers be cut on next week’s episode.


Oh yes. The bloodbath cometh.


Well? What did you think of The Voice results? Did America get it right this week? Are you happy with who is still in the Season 10 hunt?


Moreover, which singer do you think will carry enough of America’s votes the rest of the way and ultimately be named … THE VOICE?

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19 Recap: Hello, Goodbye!

With Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler officially outta here, Lifetime began a new chapter Tuesday with Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19.



It was reunion time, and Abby Lee Miller was 15 minutes late.


“This does not happen every day,” Abby exclaims, before stating that she needs a new bra and the girls perform to kill time on stage.


Finally on stage, the ALDC shot-caller says Maddie will be going on to judge So You Think You Can Dance, and that she takes credit.


For all of this. No delusions of grandeur on her part at all.


As for Ashlee, one of the most controversial figures throughout the season, Jill went at it with her, saying Ashlee “didn’t know her place.”


Maddie performs “Lizzie Borden,” her creepiest dance yet.


Soon it was the Mini Moms’ time to come on stage, and the regular moms are obviously keen to belittle them for not grasping “sacrifice.” 


Melissa thinks the Mini Moms assume they’re the “new generation of Abby,” while Holly notes that they will never “have that legacy.”


Hilariously, these are real comments from people.


We love to talk about how Dance Moms is fake even by reality show standards, and that’s true, but you can’t feign some of this bitterness!



Regarding the future of the ALDC, Miller says she is “still working” and running her Pittsburgh studio, while “trying to put the fires out.”


Federal bankruptcy charges can be a b!tch.


Holly says this season was tough since Abby never showed up on time and all the moms constantly had to wonder what her deal is.


If you watch Dance Moms online, that was true.


On a serious note, Kira Girard wasn’t around much this season, during which she had a son and gave Melissa guardianship of Kalani.


Kira expresses that she is thankful for Melissa since, otherwise, Kalani might have been “replaced” for good in the ranks of the ALDC.


Finally, the reunion concluded with “The Best of Melissa,” showing a montage of great moments, highs and lows from Maddie’s mom.


There will be “no other Melissa, Maddie or Mackenzie,” Jill says, thankful for her time with Melissa and noting that they’ll be friends forever.


Even Abby gets a little choked up at her exit, saying:


“With my whole heart … this is just the beginning.”


Azealia Banks Goes on Racist, Homophobic Tirade Against Zayn Malik

We know we shouldn’t be surprised by anything Azealia Banks says or does at this point.


She once told someone to kill herself, after all. And we’re pretty sure she meant it.



But still.


Even for Azealia Banks, her latest rant against Zayn Malik reached an epic, disturbing, wildly inappropriate and racist new low.


It all started after Malik released his futuristic music video for “Like I Would.”


Banks jumped on Twitter and claimed the design too closely resembled that of her “Yung Rapunzel” clip.


The former One Direction member didn’t directly respond, but he did Tweet the following on Tuesday afternoon:


“No lies … I see you reaching but I don’t care… My @’s too good for you.”


And that was all Banks needed to absolutely GO OFF on Malik.


We’re just gonna go ahead and list her string of insane insults and let you be the judge – because what is there to even really say on our end about such disparaging nonsense?


@zaynmalik dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag.


lol u a bitch n*gga for even responding like that. Keep sucking this yung rapunxel d*ck u hairy curry scented bitch. imma start calling you punjab you dirty bitch.


You a dick rider for real for real. Ride this dick until the wheels fall off Punjab.


lol u were the only paki in the group and you knew you were there for a reason.


You were the the token brown boy. All those white boys in 1D disrespected you and made you their PET.


You were only apart of 1d to draw brown attention. You are and ALWAYS will be a TOKEN to the UK.


@zaynmalik still doesn’t change the fact that your mother is a dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum. LOL @ZAYNMALIK IS A F*GGOT.



So… yeah. There you have it.


This isn’t the first time Banks has slammed the gay community and we’re sure it won’t be the last.


Even the most loyal One Direction fans, even those still steamed at Malik for leaving the group have the agree:


She’s a truly awful human being.

She has a very handsome excuse to get away from the studio on occasion.
