Blind auditions start filming next month for the seventh series. Only Tom Jones and will.I.am are definite returns for coaches so far, with Emma Willis back to host.

 

Rumours are flying around today in The Sun that Olly Murs is joining as a coach. I'll believe it when it comes from the horse's mouth and not Dan Wootton's but I think this'd be perfect for him if it's true. There's also talk of Danny Jones possibly coming over from The Voice Kids following the good reception he got on there!

So Olly is indeed joining as the new coach! Jennifer Hudson also back too: http://www.itv.com/presscentre/press-relea...s-itvs-voice-uk

Yaaaas daddy, I'll still probably barely watch though lmao

First official press shot of the new coaches!

Glad to see JHud back! Easily the best 'coach' they've had on here (sorry Rita)

People still watch this? :lol:

Just as bland and boring as ever.

 

Mehhhhh!

I watched it, mind you there was only one decent act on it, the girl with the big hat who sang the Nizlopi track - JCB Song with her partner.

Got its lowest ever launch rating last night

I'm surprised this is still on the air.

I watched a little bit of this last night. I really liked JHud. Her little Aretha cover with Tom was spectacular. I wasn't particularly gripped by any of the hopefuls. Sure there is some talent there but I dunno, you just don't get that feeling that any of them will actually amount to anything or even release something. Why invest if you're never going to get any actual material out of them to enjoy?

I can just never really bring myself to be bothered to watch this :lol: It's ok if we're having dinner and it happens to be on while we're waiting for something else to come on or whatever but I'd never choose it. I find it a bit dull and whilst X Factor is of course far past its best, it still has a little something that The Voice doesn't, I don't know what it is. Also at least we know on X Factor at least the winner will get a hit or two even if it's just a feature and their winning single, it feels pointless really investing anything as Silas said in The Voice because it doesn't matter who wins really, they'll maybe get top 10 on iTunes and like 39 in the real chart. It's like a glorified karaoke competition, I know people say that about X Factor but there's at least some sort of effort to flesh out the acts as artists. The Voice tries what feels a bit too hard to be "real", it's like open mic down the pub, ok to watch if you're there but you wouldn't go out of your way. Of course there are different kinds of artists, some with great talent, but they just all feel the same to me in a way?

There is a singer named Jade Williams on this series. Her to win for her name alone xx

 

(lol at the lack of discussion for this show these days (for entirely understandable reasons))

I caught the end, someone sang a Glee song lmao, Jade impact all over the shop :o

Most of it was pretty much rubbish, the cabaret singer is awful that Olly picked, mind you Olly was the only person turned round for her, and she is from my neck of the woods just 20 mins by car and seen her a few times in Maidstone. The 16 year old lad was actually brilliant in the end I was just amazed that twist to the track never saw that coming, and the two opera singers were alright I suppose, the last girl to perform was pretty good.

Another local talent Tesni Jones from my neck of the woods has made it through, she has supported Blue on a UK Tour and Tesni was also a part of XYP, who had five top-10 singles in Holland, including a number one with their debut single "Body to Body".

Apparently this has been rating higher than The X Factor 2017

First time watching this series properly on the final... Jesus christ at that Donel guy who's the favourite, I dread to think who they cut before him if he's supposed to be the best they have.

I have caught most of this as my grandma has it on and I had to laugh at Olly telling Donel that he would be in the chart :') #30 in the album chart at a push maybe x

 

Belle Voci were probably the best from what I caught

Yaaass Ruti, liked what I heard from her tonight. It was "The Voice" after all, it would have been a joke if Donel won :lol:
