Well, unlike you Rex, I'm not upset

, but by making the comment: "He's not got nearly enough 'game' to be on Center Stage, and he knows it" about Blake, you're saying something that's no more (or less) true than any other opinions shared thus far. And your comment makes ME go "huh??". It's all subjective.
Melinda's got a great voice, no doubt about it. And sure, she's got style - in her voice particularly. Blake's got style. He's also got charisma. As far as
my tastes go, whether or not they're based on geography I don't know but I'm minnesota girl with a few friends in the music biz and I daresay they're pretty successful. What Blake does with his style, we'll see. I wish them all well ...though am sure they don't need my well-wishin'.
