The Voice UK (BBC1)

will.i.am seems a bit of weirdo and Mr "Hey! I'm Irish, you know" is going to get right on my wick.
That lad who knocked everyone's socks off in BGT should have gone on there and sung Delilah.
 
I'm confused - it's on BBC3 now - is this a repeat of 1st the BBC1 show? It's from Belfast.

I saw a bit on Saturday & I heard someone say "you owned that song" so I switched over. Not sure what difference them not seeing them singing really makes or what all the rules are & I still don't know who Paddy is.
 
I watched this, much to my amazement and quite liked it, but the competition between the judges and name dropping was quite odd.

Then I switched to BGT and saw the overweight lad and his partner sing really well and overcome the preconceptions of the judges, that was good tv.

I probably won't watch any more.

. And cowell's little remark "here we go again" (sic), reminise of the boyle malarky was astonishing. Hope he pisses off some knife thrower, one day.

Hopefully, the remainder of The Voice will live up to last weeks performance.

That's why, further up in the thread, I mentioned that was predictable, along with the faces of the audience groaning etc. It was Susan Boyle all over again. I immediately knew before he opened his mouth he was going to be good.

and that little comment almost felt like it was dropped in just for the laughs, because he should know better than anyone that you don't judge a book by its cover after having done the same thing with Susan Boyle. Idiot :mad:
 
The fact that we saw that he made that comment just shows that he knows exactly what he's doing.

He is the head honcho, nothing gets broadcast without his say-so, so he knew that letting us know he'd said that would only add to the publicity. It's not like the person who typed up that subtitle so we could see it did it off his or her own bat; they were told to do it. They don't type up every comment made, after all, for our inspection and consternation

If Simon Cowell hadn't wanted us to know that, he wouldn't have given it the go ahead. And if he'd really not wanted us to see him saying it - for fear of vigilant lipreaders - we'd not even have seen him making a comment to whoever sits next to him - Amanda, is it? Might have been the other one, Carmen, I suppose.

Another thing to think about is that he might not even have said it when that kid came on, he might have said it about someone else but then got it edited in to where he knew it would cause maximum impact. He might have said it about no one, solely to get it edited in for broadcast, wherever he saw fit.

Telly like BGT is all smoke and mirrors and Simon Cowell is the master of audience manipulation.

Exactly what I was thinking when they cut to the audience making faces, same as they did with Susan Boyle

and I realise he could have had those comments cut and it just causes controversy leaving them in, and therefore more publicity, but it just makes him look even more of a wanker
 
I like the judges voting for an act they like, as opposed to the BGT binning vote.

I've no idea how it's supposed to pan out or as a viewer if I've either the knowledge, hearing or a good enough tv to distinguish between what is and isn't good enough? So maybe the judges could critique more?
 
In the one show I saw so far they pretty much always seem to want the singer, I think there was only one that they did not pick up. Is that right, was there only one?

There were at least 2? The one who used to be in 5ive and the gfriend of the man doing the Beatles/Eminem mash up? Both were done with encouraging or constructive words
