Just incase you didn't catch The Voice last week here is what happened.
I knew what was going to happen and I still cried.
But I like what Rolling Stone said,
" Amber chose to sing "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne, dedicating it to
her mother who passed away from breast cancer and putting a country
spin on it. Meanwhile, Midas Whale put down the instruments (a guitar
and accordion) to perform Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground."
While Amber fell right into her wheelhouse, the Midas Whale guys were
admittedly out of their element. Leaving the indie-folk genre behind
and taking a more serious approach was "a risk," according to guitarist
Jon Peter Lewis. But aside from losing a little of their uniqueness by
losing the instruments and playing it straight, they really just
couldn’t compete with the fact that Adam seems hell-bent on winning the
competition with a country artist over friendly rival Blake Shelton. And, in the end, we think that's really why Amber scored the K.O.
While we're sure Midas Whale is feeling pretty bummed right now, it's
the viewers who are the real losers here. Yes, Amber gave a solid
performance, and considering she's country, she'll probably win a lot of
votes. But there's just nothing new or different about her. She's kind
of generic, whereas Midas Whale is the total opposite, especially for a
competition like this."
Be on the look out for their Kick Starter as well as Deep Love in the fall!

I was so sad! And I totally agree with Rolling Stone.
P.S. We're coming to Idaho at the end of this month for a week for Jeff's step-sister's wedding! We have a crazy amount of family to see, but I hope we can meet Sal. Ezra thinks all animals are called cats, and I'm trying to teach him what dogs are at least.
YES! please, come meet Sal! He love people and he will love Ezra!
