I don't get it. What's the difference? There are too many of these shows. With the same hosts and/or personalities. Same make up faces. Same obnoxious judges that think that they know everything.
They all seem the exact same:
Obnoxious judges that ruin the show to simple talents that think singing boring songs is a skill.
These shows are about shining cool lights on stage.
Cliché crowd that cheers for everything, and they all look the same on each talent like show.
The premise is all the same. Just have an extra judge that dresses like "she's" from the Addams Family.
Possibly this show is fake and or altered. It doesn't seem like a real show that cares for talent. Most of the judges don't even have talent either.
I don't know how anyone could watch these shows every week and feel healthy. I feel rotten when i see it recommended in my YouTube feed and i ahve to look at it.
Verdict: Read a book instead. You'll feel like you've accomplished something.

For years the BBC have watched as ITV have had hit reality show after reality show and now they've decided to ditch half their comedy programmes in favour of spending loads of money on this reality show.
The gamble nearly paid off, the initial auditions did well in the ratings but this was purely based on novelty factor - judges in spinning chairs with their backs to the audience. It was something we hadn't seen before so people watched it.
Then they put the contestants in a boxing ring for a 'battle'. This again was something we'd never seen before so the ratings were still good.
But then the show just became like every other talent show and after being touted as something 'totally different that would change the music industry' we realised that no, this was just a talent contest like the many others we've seen come and go.
Nice gamble by the BBC but the ratings tell the story.

Compared to other Voice shows, i.e. In Australia or United States, this is by far the worst edition.
There's no fun in blind auditions. Peaching is so poorly executed. All coaches just say. "I like you and I'd like to be your coach". Hey! You turned your chair, we know that! Tell us more! Tell us why you like his/her performance. Tell us what makes you a good coach for that particular artist. Tell us why you'd be better suited than other coaches. And do that in a fun way. In UK there's no bunter, teasing and competition between coaches like in other versions of that show.
Also, there are too many occasions when they don't turn for perfect artist, but few minutes later they turn for someone that's out of tune or rhythm. I don't get that. Do they have ears?
Another thing is, when they don't turn for artist, there's no feedback. Artist don't receive any explanation nor encouragement to keep on trying. That's just too cold. Are British people really that.

The UK voice doesn't even compare to the US show. The US judges have an amazing relationship with each other and banter and turn around for such amazing talent - when they hear it they turn!
The UK show (olly, Megan, WILL. I. AM, and Tom never really turn around for the most amazing singers and just let them go and then say "man I wish I turned". Then with some who are out of tune etc. They turn bc there is potential there 👀.
My biggest issue with the UK voice though is that when a singer has no chairs for them they just leave and walk off. They get no comments or feed back from the judges and no encouragement or motivation to keep going. So many people would walk away and give up thinking they're not enough! And it makes me angry. I had to stop watching it!
Don't bother with the UK version the US is the best!!!

Will.i.am, Tom Jones, Meghan Trainor, Olly Murs, seriously?
"Few" of these might be good performers, but.. does that make them good judges and coaches?
Name one amazing tennis player who was formerly a super star Tennis player...
I have just seen this program for the first time I noticed how these clowns turned their sits on out of tune singers and failed (miserably) to do so on amazing performers...
Tragic, lame, lousy, a poor display of untalented judges failing on good people.
