The Voice

[emmie]

the new talent show, did anyone watch it? I actually thought it would be different from the so called other talent shows, but it's the same old format.

Well I am in the minority. I enjoyed it as I enjoy all the other shows like it. It's personal choice like everything else I guess. I never imagined it would be any different to the other shows (i.e singing in front of 4 judges...albeit their backs!) so maybe I wasn't expecting as much as other people?

[MissCommando]

I wasn't that impressed, I found it quite boring and wouldn't be bothered about watching it again.
I didn't see the point of Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates, we didn't see much of them.
I agree with the bit where somebody said they were all looking at each other to see who pressed their buzzer.
Jessie J's shirt was so awful, it offended me lol!

[missprim]

I didn't enjoy The Voice at all. No act stood out as being really good and all that showing off by the judges really got on my nerves.
It will be interesting to see if it gets as many viewers next week,and if viewing figures go really low then I hope the BBC will stop showing it.

I liked it, don't really know why Jessie is on it and no idea who the irish fella is. Tom Jones needs to tone it down a bit and so far I want Will I am to win. I think it's nice for people to be judged exclusively on their voices.

The Voice is going to get really really really irritating, if I can stand it. How many more weeks do we suffer until each of the prima donna judges gets 10 acts. Then what?

Painful!

[craft1948]

So in a few weeks when 3 judges have 10 acts and Will.i.am has 1 do we have to go on and on until he has 10?

i like the fact that the voice is not about making a laughing stock out of anyone and judging purely on your voice unlike others such as B.G.T and X factor as we've seen in previous shows. Take saturdays B.G.T for instance as soon as that large boy came on with the girl, he was greeted with sniggers from the audience and quite nasty comments from the judges before he had even opened his mouth. He blew them away with his voice and i bet now simon will be sooooooo far up his backside now because he knows this lad will make him loads of money

[MASS1961]

Well Craft, I for one will not be going on and on, I'd rather have a laugh with BGT and be pleasantly surprised when someone with talent shows up.

[China Doll]

I'm likely to watch The Voice again. I like to watch the snippets of BGT when someone has been extremely good, especially if they look a bit odd or something and people have initially laughed at or been rude about them, I really like when people challenge others preconceptions and it makes me really smile to see someone who has been mocked to turn the tables; I can't stand to watch the actual show (or pop idol or any of the other ones) as you get people on there who are obviously 'challenged' in some way and it's out of order to mock them for our own entertaiment, it makes me feel like those people that used to visit insane alsylums to laugh at the patients, I absolutely hate that. So I just wait for the youtubes or to be told when someone is awesome and I should have a look.

[emmie]

well some liked it some didn't, i found it irritating, so it a thumbs down from me

[danchip]

it turned into more being about the judges than the acts, they were simply pushing their button because they were scared to lose out to one of the other judges!

Plus how can Jesse J question either Will.i.am or Tom jones' achievements or even try to compete with them

[emmie]

there was a good piece in my paper today about the show, a definite rubbish from the reviewer, i agreed with every word.
