My god this series is a step down. It's quite boring, seems to be too many non turns and nobody particularity great normally. I did really like the Dublin girl tonight though And I hate their really flimsy reasons for not turning, I get that they only have 12 spots but stuff like "it was my song" and "lol but you were perfect actually xxxx" just bore me!
Ricky is being such a knob recently. So unlikeable this series! |

I watched an episode this morning on catch up - I'm not sure if it was from this week or last week but...
That woman with the back story of not knowing who her biological father was so odd! I felt like they were really stretching for a story for her, it seemed utterly bizarre and irreverent. That woman who sang Karen Harding was so good! Why didn't they turn? She killed especially the second half of the song. |

This series has been utter rubbish, the performances last night was bad.
Since ITV have poached the series, my guess they will be looking for 4 new judges next year. |

QUOTE(Joe. @ Jan 24 2016, 06:09 PM)  I watched an episode this morning on catch up - I'm not sure if it was from this week or last week but...

I agree it was so weird, that feels like an X Factor trope that they shouldn't need to resort it. They seem to be doing that a few times this series and it's just not needed when they go on about focusing on the voice alone! |

Yep, the talent is really average this series. Definitely not as good or entertaining as last series and I haven't warmed to Boy George or Paloma.
The BBC has lost The Voice at the right time; the show is looking quite tired and ITV will have to work hard to overhaul it next series. This post has been edited by burbe: 24th January 2016, 06:39 PM |

All the coaches seem to be desperate not to fill their teams too quickly this year. Of course, this could mean they end up with people they don't really want at the end of the blind auditions!

The talent really has been terrible this year, all so average.

Tonight is also supposed to be that argument between Boy George and Paloma.

Kevin Simm was incredible. Easily the best audition of the series so far!

Yeh, Kevin was by far the best audition so far!
Blew everyone else out of the water. Overall though, the singers have really been average but I guess when there's no chance of a career, then the best singers aren't going to apply. |

I've just watched Kevin's audition again. It was head and shoulders above anything on the series so far. I can't help wondering how things might have turned out if he hadn't got involved with Liberty X. His association with them seems to have damaged his chances of a solo career. If he can reliance his career from this, it will be a great way for the BBC version of the show to end.

Rachel Ann - In For The Kill
She sure did that and it was amazing. Began a little nervous but WOW!! I certainly didn't expect that after all the other average auditions. And she's only 16. Deserves to win!! This post has been edited by poppet15: 21st February 2016, 01:21 PM |

I've played this 10 times today. Her parts go from tolerable to terrible. His are perfect. I've been close to tears watching this. The strings are great. It's the sort of song that no one should cover but somehow he did it justice. |

I was also surprised that the song was chosen. It's such an emotional song that it was hard to see anyone else doing it justice, but Alaric's vocals were fantastic.

Another song that should never be covered.
For the battle between Leighton Jones & Eli Cripps Boy George chose my all time favourite Motown ballad. If I Were Your Woman by Gladys Knight & The Pips from 1970. Unfortunately not a UK hit but massive in US Canada & Australia. It must be one of the top 10 Motown ballads ever. It was excruciating to listen to - they ruined it. - He shouted she screamed. Here's the original Gladys Knight version - you can see what I mean: This post has been edited by poppet15: 6th March 2016, 11:01 AM |

If I Were Your Woman is still a showstopper, Gladys did it in concert last year in a mashup with Bruno Mars If I Was Your Man, just fab. Gladys can still out-sing most people. We have become accustomed to singers-as-stories or singers-as-packages or singers-as-teen-idols, so it's great when a genuinely (and surprisingly) good singer like Kevin Simm turns up in singing contests. Let's not forget, he was one of the rejects from a singing contest 13 years ago, and is now head and shoulders over the latest crop, that's how low standards have dropped over the years. That said, there is still room for the ability to personalise a song in a new way, and the other stand-out in that respect is Jordan..

As this comment mentions one of the song choices for tonight, I'll put it in spoiler tags.
One of tonight's contestants has chosen to tackle Unchained Melody. Given the brilliance of the Righteous Brothers version, that can only be described as a brave choice. |
