Back for its eighth series - and third on ITV - from 5th January. Olly Murs, Jennifer Hudson, Sir Tom Jones and will.I.am are all back in their chairs this year, and Emma Willis is back hosting again.

Trailer:

I may have to watch this purely to help with my Emma Willis withdrawal symptoms

Posted by: Jack 18th December 2018, 05:41 PM

What's the point really? I fail to see how it's entertaining from watching the most recent series and the prize is nul and void. I'm surprised it has fans!

Posted by: 🎄Cqmerqn🎄 18th December 2018, 05:47 PM

What’s the prize? I assume it’s some kind of record deal?

Posted by: Liаm 18th December 2018, 07:46 PM

I don't find this terrible as such, but I never care enough to watch it. It's not hugely entertaining but it kind of toes that line between competent and boring, it's never had that sort of excitement and drama of peak X Factor, it's just a bunch of people singing well enough and seeing who gets one top 100 hit and then fades into obscurity It's ok if I'm really bored and nothing is on.

Record deal with Polydor, and 0 support so they flop

Oh good lord, what even is the point of the show? Has Ruti even released anything?

Posted by: Liаm 20th December 2018, 12:04 AM

No but Mo took until the following March, I still highly doubt anything she releases will do anything though.

Lonnie Donegan's son Peter was amazing, Mollie was just perfection her voice... wow I was mesmerise and she chose Olly as her coach, but the highlight for me had to be the last act, where the girl sang with Jennifer Hudson, it was her dream. Not a bad opener if I have to be honest, the trio of girls were pretty good as well.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 6th January 2019, 12:20 AM

I actually really enjoyed tonight’s show . The talent was good and the coaches all have such a natural chemistry together .

Posted by: Mart!n 2nd February 2019, 09:33 PM

Not sure if anyone is still watching this... but... Moya just performed, all 4 judges turned, wow what a performance.



I remember Earthbound from her

Posted by: ThePensmith 16th March 2019, 09:42 PM

I really believe Olly's got the winner after tonight. Jimmy Balito's performance was stunning:

Posted by: ThePensmith 30th March 2019, 11:10 PM

Olly's team - Jimmy and Molly are in the final along with two of Sir Tom's team - the wildcard winner Betzienna (who was awesome and he should have picked at knockouts to begin with) and Deana (who was rubbish and looks like Honey G off X Factor).

Jimmy absolutely knocked it out the park again tonight - really hope he wins next weekend!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 31st March 2019, 01:13 AM

The 4 who got through tonight were definitely the right four.


Also random note but does anyone else think Will and Jennifer make their favourites very obvious.

In the battles and kncokouts before the performances even happened I instantly knew who both would pick. They make it very obvious and it’s unfair on some of the others. Jennifer constantly telling Nicole she reminded her of her was a large giveaway she was her chosen one. In a way I’m glad the pair of them have no acts in the final.

Olly and Tom seem far more neutral and are better at being an equal mentor to all of their team members.

Posted by: ThePensmith 1st April 2019, 05:06 PM

This to the bit in bold. Even taking that out the equation though, Will has made some shocking choices this series so I'm not surprised he's got no acts left. That rubbish boyband NXTGEN (three fifths of Yes Lad who were previously on The X Factor, which made for an awkward moment during knockouts a few weeks ago when Nicole Scherzinger as guest mentor for Will recognised them straight away) should never have gone through, Callum Butterworth who he stole during the battles should have gone through.

Jennifer I find irritating to be honest. Especially when she does that whole 'I THROW MY SHOE DOWN AT Y'ALL CAUSE YOU GOT SOUL' bit, it's getting annoying.

Is Molly the new Sia

Posted by: Wall 27th September 2019, 05:23 AM

Meghan Trainor replacing J Hudson.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 27th September 2019, 02:27 PM

The Facebook confirmation of this is full of middle aged woman saying who is she

How can they know Jennifer but not Meghan. Meghans definitely had more UK success than J-HUD unless I’m missing something.

I’ve seen Meghan on the four and she wasn’t too bad on that she’s very passionate about those that she likes.

Maybe this could be good for her UK career too to get it back on track.

I’ve really enjoyed The Voice Kids format of having a show on every night for a week do you think The Voice and The X Factor would benefit being on every night for 2 weeks instead of each week?

Posted by: lewis🎄green 7th December 2019, 11:11 AM

New trailer. Olly’s new hair

Posted by: Liаm 7th December 2019, 02:26 PM

DADDY

Posted by: Paulinemom 14th December 2019, 12:02 PM

No it worked for the voice kids because although the talent was good i didnt care all that much for it but shows like the x factor are much bigger and it wouldnt feel right being on every night its definitely something i like to look forward to at the weekend

Posted by: Wall 15th December 2019, 10:00 PM

I’m guessing opening episode ratings of 2.2m

Posted by: TomHo 16th December 2019, 04:23 PM

It will be interesting to see how the ratings compare to the recent x factor series.

I will be watching, mainly because Meghan Trainor is now a judge.

Posted by: ThePoguesmith 16th December 2019, 08:37 PM

I do love Olly, and I know he's done it as he's on a break from music, but he needs to bring his natural hair colour back. He looks like a bloody badger atm.

Posted by: WhoChristmassy 16th December 2019, 11:31 PM

So is this going to be turned into the series 9 thread

Posted by: Wall 4th January 2020, 09:31 PM

Meghan is legit coming across incredibly likeable

Posted by: Mart!n 4th January 2020, 09:39 PM

Will's hair looks like a door mat

Posted by: Jordan Lee 4th January 2020, 10:04 PM

I already like Meghan as a coach more than I did Jennifer Hudson.

So glad that overbearing screeching banshee decided not to come back.

Posted by: Mart!n 11th January 2020, 08:38 PM

I knew Blaize would get the 4 chairs as I recognised her, there has been a buzz about her around here.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 11th January 2020, 09:06 PM

How was Blaize a four chair turn yet that guy Babalola who sang A Change Is Gonna Come didn’t get one!!!!!

Like no disrespect to her but come on. This show baffles at me at times.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 26th January 2020, 01:39 PM

Natalies audition was so awkward last night.

She was so sure she was gonna get a turn and in her VT she was going on like she was already the biggest name in pop.

Bless her

Posted by: Mart!n 1st February 2020, 08:53 PM

The winner of the Voice of 2020 is Lucy : lol:

Posted by: Mack. 18th March 2020, 11:31 PM

ITV said: “The Voice UK knockouts, which are pre-recorded, will continue to be broadcast this weekend...

“We have, however, taken the difficult decision to postpone until later this year The Voice UK’s live semi final and final, which were due on air on the 28th March and 4th April, and are working to replace them in the schedule with some bespoke Voice specials."

Anne-Marie is replacing Meghan next season!

Meghan is pregnant. She’s doing the semifinal and final of the current season though but I think she’s appearing via a video link.

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th October 2020, 12:20 PM

Anne-Marie's going to be a fantastic coach, brilliant entertainment value!

Posted by: jlj 12th October 2020, 01:41 PM

She’s a good signing tbh! She’s definitely current and I was imagining with COVID etc the replacement would probably be someone British to make it easier for travel restrictions etc. Low key was hoping for Jess but I do quite like Anne-Marie as a person I think she could be good value. I’m happy it’s a new judge and not a past one returning.

Posted by: Wall 12th October 2020, 08:09 PM

Posted by: Grim Bréaper 13th October 2020, 12:03 AM

Hopefully that is the death knell for her career xox (outside of Rudimental features, those can stay)

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 08:53 PM

What if that virtual of Meghan omg

Posted by: jlj 8th November 2020, 01:11 AM

Some great performances tonight but ffs WILL!

He’s the most biased judge on any talent show ever. He always knows full well who he’s picking before they’ve even sang and it’s obvious

I think its between Team Tom and Team Olly for the win! Trinity was probably Meghan’s best choice for the win and with Will if he went with Doug I think he’d have stood a better chance as we know he has public support already.

I wish it was a public vote for the semis but yeah I kinda expected everyone bar Brooke to go through she was the only shock for me.

Posted by: Rossco 8th November 2020, 08:16 PM

Anne-Marie? Oh Christ no! Won’t be watching that. Olly needs to sort his hair out too IMO.

Posted by: jlj 15th November 2020, 11:31 AM

Was really hoping that Jonny Brooks. would take the win.

Blessing was good but I couldn’t take to her much she really reminds me of Alexandra Burke.

I wonder how different the result would’ve been if it had been a public vote.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 15th November 2020, 10:58 PM

Blessing was clearly the best of the final 4 . The right winner !

Posted by: jlj 15th November 2020, 11:26 PM

Of the final four however I think Meghan would’ve stood a better chance of winning if she took Trinity to the final over Brooke and I think Will really hashed up sending Gevanni through even though it was obvious he would’ve done that no matter what.

Jonny and Blessing were the right top two but I was rooting for a Jonny win in the end.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 15th November 2020, 11:39 PM

I think she would have won either way . She had a great personality as well as a great voice .

Posted by: Mart!n 2nd January 2021, 09:28 PM

Well.. nothing saw that coming, a young lad from where I live.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 14th March 2021, 03:06 PM

I’m a bit confused how there’s a new series of this already with the final next week ? It wasn’t too long ago this season aired late last year ?

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 14th March 2021, 03:23 PM

The last series' live episodes were in November, but the series began in January 2020!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 14th March 2021, 03:29 PM

Oh I see . They should have delayed putting this current series out by a few months tbh as it’s probably quite confusing for the regular viewer and people might not be as invested . There is so good singers on this series though however .
