KFC Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 OK, I admit it, I watch The Voice. Or at least I used to but Boy George in place of Tom Jones. Don't think I'll bother anymore. http://news.sky.com/story/1536096/voice-star-sir-tom-jones-slams-bbc-over-sacking Gawd help anyone mentored by him!! http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/jan/16/boy-george-sentenced-handcuffing-male-escort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I don't rate or watch the programme, but George O'Dowd is as qualified as any of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Really. The format of the show is wrong. they need to think and find young creative talent. Something new and fresh. Boy George hasn't done anything for 25 years. The main problem is that the beeb have no follow up stratagy for the winner. A couple of years ago there was Leah who came second to the blind girl. Will took her off to America to help her but was threatened by the bbc. I never heard of any of the winners doing anything. It was a pretty shabby wy to treat Tom, chopping him out the day before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty shabby wy to treat Tom, chopping him out the day before Thats the real trouble with all these shows, some really lovely kids, wonderfully talented performers, but as soon as the show is over you are never likely to see or hear from them again. A few make a bit of a showing for a while but not many. Yeah yeah don't say what about One Direction? A one off, against the odds. There has been a lot better than them who are back working at their old jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ollie Murs, JLS, Ella Henderson, Su Bo, Paul Potts, a couple of black birds (names are easily lost on me at my age?), Little Mix etc etc and I'm not into music so it does give a few fame and fortune. The runners up seem to pop up from time to time. Isn't Paloma Faith a new judge/coach? She's as mad as a bucket of frogs so might be interesting.

Scully Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Quite a few from X Factor (most of whom, but not all, have now been dropped from Simon Cowells label) but not one from the Voice, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Xfactor actually gives them a record contract afterwards though. This then means they're going to release songs and its in their interest for you to do well cos they make money off you. What do you even get if you win the voice ?

ferguson_tom Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 From the start I thought the voice was pretty rubbish after the blind auditions with the spinny chairs it just turns into a cheap X factor but with no prize worth winning. As for X factor if you actually want to do well out of it your a lot better off coming 2nd or 3rd. The winners for some reason they release one **** song then hidden away for a year, by time the next single comes out everyone has forgotten about them.

Salop Matt Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Myself , I quite like Tom Jones and on the rare occasion I saw this program it only stayed on the see him, and partly WILL.I.AM and Jessy J. I dont care much for the others. But now it wont get a second of air time in our house ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowdie2013 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Its meant to be a Saturday night family show and a pervert like boy george shouldn't be allowed to set foot in the building never mind be a judge/mentor. He was convicted and jailed for imprisoning a rent boy-hardly baby sitting material is he. Oh aye whos the other perv they like to bring on and bum up as a mega star? yes its george Michael; convicted of perving about in public toilets, always crashing high on drugs etc etc. The show will be banned in my house.
