I pride myself on my analogies by the way.  Let’s see what a real-time search on one of the most widely used mass cat diffusion platforms (to my knowledge) can tell us…Search for ‘cat’ in Youtube, and the first link that shows up is ‘Simon’s Cat’ channel, with 1,030,391 suscribers. Ok, not bad. The second link is a video called ‘Funny cats in water, EPIC’ .

Christina Aguilera's Voice Hiatus

Christina Aguilera's Voice Hiatus--You have to hand it to “The Voice.” Last week, the show added a third Wednesday episode to ruin “The X Factor’s” big premiere night. And now, with the new “American Idol” and “X Factor” judges having had hardly any time to bask in their publicity, already “The Voice” is stealing both shows’ thunder once again–with breaking news that two new singularly named superstar judges, Shakira and Usher, will replace Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green for Season 4. Both Christina and Cee Lo will be back for Season 5 in fall 2013, according to NBC. Rumors have swirled for months that NBC’s overkill decision to air “The Voice” twice yearly would at least temporarily drive away some or all of the show’s regular judges, causing the lineup to be revamped for the spring 2013 season.

Apparently such is the downside of hiring judges who, you know, are still relevant hitmakers and have other important things to do with their time, like touring and recording, besides sitting on an NBC soundstage six months out of the year.
