Not Up to Extraordinary Victims Usual Standards
This is a poorly written episodes which tries to stroke on way too many issues and does justice to none of them. It starts off in one direction and winds up going many other directions with the finding that it just loses your interest. Too horrible. Any one of the story lines could possess been the subject of a riveting single episode

Off Track
I really started out thinking I was going to like this SVU episode, but it went badly off track along the way.
Ernest Waddell whom we met almost a decade earlier first as Ice-T's son has in the intervening years advance out as gay. And now that same sex marriages are legal in New York has now gotten married.
This episode starts out with the gaybashing of Waddell's spouse who Ice-T who has long accepted his son's gayness refers to as his son-in-law. His crime is solved within the first fifteen minutes of the show. But in the course of the investigation looking for a pattern of other dislike crime incidents, the SVU squad uncovers an incident involving a prep educational facility teacher. After that the whole thing goes off track.

Not harmonious
Not attentive for "Dissonant Voices" had absolutely nothing to do with not wanting this subject explored. Quite the contrary. It is a tough subject that is always worthy of addressing, though not easy to undertake right as evidenced by the franchise's variable track tape of tackling it or similar stories. When an episode of the performance does little for me, it has always been to do with the execution of the subject and the story surrounding it.
To me, "Dissonant Voices" didn't do a good job with tackling its subject. Music/talent show-themed episodes for anything can work very adequately, but somehow it didn't here. It is a case of a amazing main guest actor turn that deserved a much improved episode, one that wasn't so predictable and wasn't unbalanced so much by how the team behave and deal with the case. Again, "Dissonant Voices" is far from an unwatchable episode, it just doesn't approach together and all the different elements aren't harmonious with each other.
"Dissonant Things" has good things. Its main compensation is the guest turn of Billy Porter. H

Note: Do not browse on if you have not seen Season 15, Episode 7 of NBC's "Law and Order: SVU," titled "Dissonant Voices."
While last week we got fake Weinergate, this week we acquire fake "American Idol." The episode begins backstage as vocal coach Jackie Walker gives his nervous student, Grace, one last pep converse before being thrust before a panel of judges. Hang around , is that... Ashanti? Oh, yes it is, along with Clay Aiken and Taylor Hicks (just Google "that grey-haired guy from "American Idol"). After playing a short biographical clip, Grace timidly begins her ballad, barely at an audible whisper. Luckily, our panel of judges doesn't immediately cut her off, because she eventually belts out a relatively soulful rendition of Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life."
For some reason all of the detectives are actually watching "American Diva," but that would indicate they actually contain personal lives! Although "Law and Order: SVU" tries to introduce casual bits and pieces of the detectives' intimate lives throughout the show, it still kind of feels like seeing a teacher outside of school wearing a bro tank and flip flops. But they're not the only ones watching, of course. Many of Jackie'
