Hush, she is from Bristol. We are down to earth non melodramatic types.

Is that who this is?

melting like a toastie
Yep.
Mr Moose
What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Nah. She's the best singer why would she need to? Not an easy act to pull off.
Occam's razor. Simplest explanations is she is a self obsessed wannabe with a milstone of a sister.

Oldie. Fancy not knowing JD.

I only listen to Classic FM and 5 Live.

Well what is this 'Classic FM' that doesn't play Jason Derulo? Doesn't sound like they know what a 'classic' is. FML.

I'm confused. Is next week actually the semi final? And apart from Sat, this is the first real chance the public have had to have any say in this? What a load of pants.
I just caught up with bits of it last night. That guy who sung 'it's looking like a beautiful day' (or whatever it's called) - I LOVE that song, and he totally totally trashed it. I thought it was horrendous what he did to that lovely song.
The judges gushing comments over absolutely everyone really piss me off as well. They don't 'judge' anyone and they certainly never give any constructive criticism. It's all just 'oh my god, you were amaaaazing'. Every single bloody time.

i like the fact that the judges take themselves so seriously & try to act as though everything is spontanioius and non scripted, when it's SO obvious every single movement/expression is an act.
Has anyone from the Voice ever actually gone off and had a career afterwards? I can't recall a single successful person. Actually i can't remember a single person other than the blind girl who won last year & I only remember her because she was in my local paper last year as she'd visited a local school.

No that I remember, but then its the same with x factor.
Although there were two that I thought deserved to go on to have careers after, and that was Jazz and Ruth. Ruth had a hell of a good voice.
The problem with making careers for people like this is that yes they can sing, but none of them are writing their own music..... The only people who really buy karaoke recycled music are a generation that are dying out now.
I like the voice, but I think the judges should stick to training and have no say in the songs that are being chosen, they dont have pick some shite songs and get them to make them even shiter with the way they sing them.

That's not entirely true though - what about One Direction, Leona Lewis, Rebecca Ferguson....there are quite a few x factor people who've done well.
Totally agree that contestants should be writing their own stuff though. Remember that show years back where contestants actually did have to write their own stuff - Fame Academy? Never understood why that got axed. I mean, yeah, the guy who won was awful, but the idea of it was good.

Oh I didn't know they were all x factor, I can't stand Simon Cowell's face so never watch it.
Yeah there was fame academy, I think it was axed because realistically looking on that creative process is looooong and boring. There's still the odd thing which is kind of like that, I noticed on BBC3 there was something following some people who'd been taken from different places, and were essentially having a musical crash course at the ACM in Guildford.
There was another one aaaaaages ago that had bands on it, I can't remember what it was called, but there was one band on there that was fucking awesome, I bought all their CD's etc. They're split up now unfortunately.
They were funny, they clearly hated that they'd actually ended up doing well on the show, did a cover of a Son House song for the cover versions week. Even the description in the youtube vid page I'm posting is grumpy.

Apparently Will.I.Am has a new range of glasses out. Nice that he's using the BBC to advertise it for free for him 
I like the turning around rounds but the last bit is far too quick. But they murder so many decent songs ('making them their own' my arse) that perhaps it's just as well this painful stage is over quickly

I effing LOVED Fame Academy. A million times better than X Factor, The Voice etc. I even watched the 24 hour channel showing them in music lessons, dance lessons, eating bloody breakfast. It was all the good bits from early Big Brother plus watching them write their own stuff and perform it. So much fun.

Before someone can "make a song their own" I would like them to first prove they can sing it properly

I think he is trying to get a free pair of Google Glass the amount he waved his iPad around and mentioned iPhone in a made up award he created in his ramblings.
