Re: The Voice

After the 'Voice' moved on to ITV I vowed to stick to the BBC and give Barlow a chance with 'Let it Shine' it started off reasonably well and then went downhill when the first two acts were excruciatingly poor and even managed to pass muster. I hastily changed channels and was suitably entertained with 'Ninja's' Although I can't understand why a British talent show has to include American judges who I find extremely irritating. Having said that though, the standard of the contestants on the 'Voice' are far superior to any other talent show and time permitting this is where my Saturday night entertainment will focused. Sorry Barlow, but 'Let it Shine' is God Awful and it makes my teeth itch!

Re: The Voice

I'm with Tom on that one Longdogs, he's only pointing out the obvious.......She is rather.......Er.......Overweight....Or aren't we supposed to notice that?
It appears that in today's world we are not allowed to notice ..
(1) The Gender
(2) The Colour
(3) The Religion
(4) The political Aspirations
(5) The size
or (6) The sexual preference......
So Tom should have said......"A non descript Human won the previous series of 'The Voice' who didn't seem to give a sh*T about it's appearance....

Re: The Voice

Thank God she isn't a black, overweight, muslim transgender lesbian UKIP member

Re: The Voice

I'm not one for pc rubbish either but as you point out, if we are not to mention people's attributes, it should be across the board. The sad thing is that being overweight will probably prevent her from doing well in today's music business anyway, so he does have a point.

Re: The Voice

I watched parts of both programs, was busy doing things, but what I saw seemed OK.
I had to Google Jennifer Hudson & Gavin Rossdale as I'd never heard of either, never heard of Bush.
Perhaps that's my age.

Re: The Voice

I thought the whole point of "The Voice" was to concentrate on "The Voice" and not be prejudiced by an individuals visuals.

Imo the contestants should remain invisible until the final, the programme has no point after the Blind Auditions, because the visuals kick in the decision making process.

Re: The Voice

P.S, that Jennifer Hudson should probably not have sung, but what a voice.

Re: The Voice

Yeah that's the idea but I can't believe they never meet in the studio before the show.

Re: The Voice

Britain's Got Talent is a better springboard for vocal talent because, right from the start, the judges don't have a closed shop, they are swayed right from the start by a partisan audience.

Re: The Voice

Thanks for all the replies. I expected to be jumped on from all quarters,but not so.
