Posted by: LustForLife 8th May 2017, 04:09 PM
The BBC has a new singing competition called "Pitch Battle" starting at some point this Summer.
It's hosted by Mel Giedroyc and the judges are Gareth Malone and Kelis, with various guest judges including Will Young, Seal, Joe Jonas and Chaka Khan.
It's seems like an interesting format - it's based around Pitch Perfect. It's probably going to be one of those shows that's either really awful and cringe or amazing. Probably gonna end up being awful and cringe

This will be a massive mess BUT omg at Kelis being a judge!! 
Posted by: Liаm 8th May 2017, 04:14 PM
KELIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes this worth a shot at least.
It's giving me Don't Stop Believing (remember that awful Glee style choir thing on Channel 5) teas though

Is Kelis really irrelevant enough to be a talent judge now? How sad.

What's more shocking is that she's RELEVANT enough to be a talent show judge in 2017! Fantastic though.

This is apparently being filmed at MediaCity across the quays from me. If it's any decent I might have to check if there's tickets available still

Oh my LORD Kelis! I hardly even bother with tv these days but I'll definitely be watching this for her 😍
Also, her and Gareth Malone, what a wonderful duo.

Talent show judge doesn't equal irrelevant, but she hasn't had a hit in 6 years so it's not like she's stooping She's a good pick though, a bit random but I like that rather than having someone dull like Jess Glynne or whatever.

So this starts on Saturday and I saw the trailer for it over the weekend. Love stuff like this so looking forward to it!
Posted by: Martyn 12th June 2017, 03:30 PM
Why does someone have a guitar in the trailer?

This concept sounds bad enough but anything with Gareth Malone in it is enough to make sure I'm not tuning in.

What's the betting the winner will "fight the good fight" and release against the X Factor winnervfkr Christmas number 1?

I love Pitch Perfect so looking forward to giving this a watch at least!

Kelis to save summer Saturday night TV for the BBC. Could be another hot mess singing show.
Posted by: burbe 18th June 2017, 10:41 PM
I switched off after a bit, it was quite awful :/ Kelis was the only thing saving the show.
Posted by: Cameron 18th June 2017, 10:57 PM
Kelis and them performing Unconditionally and Love Myself were the only highlights

I rather enjoyed the show no shame about it
Posted by: Liаm 19th June 2017, 01:04 AM
The only thing worse than the actual show is the bloody adverts they show for it before shows where the groups do acapella versions of the theme tunes 
This again really misses the mark as a talent show, I just found it a bit of a chore to watch. The only good bit for me was Kelis, who I wish was utilised on a better show but ah well.

So, unsurprisingly, this has been axed.
