 Jamar Rogers: The Story Behind the Voice -- A Blog Entry by Robert Breining (February 10, 2012)
"If you watched The Voice this week then you were probably moved by Jamar Rogers' story and his talent. ... I admire Jamar for being who he is. Sometimes it takes us, people living with HIV, a long time to find self acceptance again. You see the reason I felt so connected to Jamar isn't only because he is HIV+. He is also a recovering addict, like myself. He is a true inspiration."

 Everyday Heroes: Wilson Cruz -- A Blog Entry by Brandon Lacy Campos (February 4, 2012)
"There is one person I have come across who is legitimately famous and who is not only really real and sweet but lives his life, his politics, and gives to his community in a way that goes way beyond cutting a check or posing for a PETA ad. ... I saw Wilson recently. Last week actually. I wanted to thank him for being a friend and an ally in that moment to someone he really didn't know."
