rockNrollaDIM Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm surprised the judges aren't all Australian. Does Keith Urban even count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Of course Keith counts. He's more Aussie then Russell Crowe.In other news. The Hoff is on the Australian Celebrity Apprentice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) It's the same in the UK. This is absolutely huge in every country it seems now. Danny O'Donoghue, Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am are the judges. Britain's Got Talent is in trouble here. The Voice beat it in ratings, with a peak viewership of a huge 12m.

rockNrollaDIM Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah. I don't know if this is beating Idol in the ratings yet but it's certainly headed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted April 19, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted April 19, 2012 If you guys want, go ahead and create a thread for the Australian show and if there's interest then the UK one.. I just think this thread should be reserved for the American version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I could convert this to a general "The Voice" thread too if people want it. I think there's too many different versions out right now and there might not be enough interest in each country's version :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voice_(TV_series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 The first season just started on Sunday here in Australia - massive success!Some of the people who auditioned have had crazy attention, including magazine stories and current affairs shows - and so they should be!Check these out (the second one almost had me in tears, BEFORE THE SHOCK WAS REVEALED!)http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-QdjnA2vtIhttp://video.au.msn....en-rose/xc3k2vdIs there a way to see that video outside of Australia? I'm kind of addicted to watching her audition and I want to see it in whole. Also, did she release a studio version of that song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Do you mean the second link? I can't find the full audition on YouTube sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebomb Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Much better show than last week's.Loved: JamarLiked: Katrina, Juliet, TonyOK: Mathai, PipDisliked: James, CheesaI agree with the eliminations tonight. I really hope Adam saves Katrina over Mathai (Tony's a shoe-in for America's vote.) Jamar and Juliet has to be Cee-Lo's final 2. I cannot wait to see how those 2 will duke it out next week and hope Cee-Lo doesn't get blinded by his love for his diva. If Cheesa gets saved over one of those 2, I'll be pissed.

rockNrollaDIM Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Tony Lucca picking a Britney Spears song was brilliant, it was a great version too. And a big F-U to Chirstina.I don't remember the contestant's name, but that Whitney Houston song needs to be banned from all singing competitions. Somebody sings it on every single show.

Bluebomb Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Tonight really separated the amazing from the good and the ugly.1. Katrina (10/10) - She was outstanding. I got chills. Love everything about her: her look, her voice and her gracious personality. She was the only one I really wanted to listen to a second time. This performance reminded me of her blind audition and why I thought she could win. She has an amazing tone in her voice that is mesmerizing and hypnotic to listen to.2. Juliet (10/10) - While I've been advocating for Jamar the whole time, Juliet beat him cleanly this round. She rocked.3. Jamar (9/10) - That's the first time I've really heard his voice without Bandzilla masking his voice and he was really good. Him, Katrina and Juliet are the ones to beat.4. Tony (8/10) - Tony did well. His performance brought me back to his blind audition and why I enjoyed him so much. Even though he upped his game, Katrina upped hers even more.5. Lindsey (7/10) - I liked this. It went well with her voice but it also confirmed that I just don't care for her voice that much. That being said, she did better than the others IMO.6. Chris (5/10) - It started off great and then fell off by the 2nd verse. I think he has a pretty voice that's not made for opera. Maybe contemporary opera would be the way to go with him but seeing him sing this classic told me that he should stay away from the opera classics because his voice is not good enough.7. Jermaine (4/10) - This is Jermaine's shtick. Blake chooses old classics for him to sing and he turns the melody into something unrecognizable. You either like it or you don't. I don't. It also didn't help when his higher notes were terrible: thin, screechy and sharp.8. Erin (1/10) - She was painful. Painful to listen to in the lower register and in the higher register. Her high notes sound sharp all the time and she had some truly cringeworthy moments in the song. Closest to a dreadful performance tonight.Can we have a final 4 that is only Team Cee-Lo and Team Adam? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Can we have a final 4 that is only Team Cee-Lo and Team Adam?YASSS. That would be very nice. Too bad Blake and Christina's mediocre teams have to have a representative.And I don't know if Tony Lucca pissed in Christina's morning Cheerio's or what, but she just can't help but be a bitch to him. But then she's shown very much on this show that she just plain IS a bitch. I'm gonna have to just ignore her personally and only listen to her music. If I don't I'll hate her.

Frankenberry Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think once they hit the semi-finals it should be a free for all. The format is causing crappy singers to advance further than some great. Hopefully next year great singers will realize it's in their best interest to go Team Blake since he had all duds this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
