this is sooo much better than the x factor/bgt. it's really good and i like the panel too. danny o'donoghue is hot

I watched it this week but there's something I kinda don't like and that's the fact that its like a game to the judges.

There's people who are good singers and no judge turned round because they were playing off against the other and tricking them.

I didn't find it too bad especially the fact it allows proper musicians - they can play instruments and so on. And it is about the voice - I find with the x factor it's about the image and also about being current, but with the legend that is Tom Jones, they can have a variety of types.

I also think its quite funny - I know people see it like a competition but it doesn't seem as serious as the x factor - they are messing around, so there is connections with the judges. and Will.I.AM and Tom Jones incident was great.

Oh and people saying Tom Jones is too old and stuff - age isn't anything to do with sound.

bumps right, straight up yeah: i hate talent shows x factor, britains got talent, i find them cringey as **** with the sob stories and the bad musicians and the terrible filming. but the voice is genuinely good tv. and proof that anything itv can do bbc can do better.

even jessie j is growing on me, and whoever is saying tom jones is out of it: are you dumb irl. he is so massive in the music industry.

...I must not be watching it enough or the UK voice must be different, but I really like the show, and the judges( I think Adam Lamburg, Cee Lo Green, Christina Agulera, and Blake Shelton) all had really good singing careers, haven't got a chance to see any of the battles, phhfft, I need to watch it more...
Imo, I think that the people that can participate in The Voice is a little short, because it's basically saying, "Only the best" but, since The Voice reaches so many viewers, how are you going to sort the good from the bad? That's why I like American Idol or Britain's Got Talent if you will, because they allow a wider range of failures to try and convince four people. Know what I mean? The Voice only lets the very best in and basically crushes any beginner's dreams of fame. Plus, if it's 'for all ages', does that mean, like, 11 through 1000000000000000, or does it mean 18 through 1000000000000000+? Because there, again, is the shortening of how many people can enter..sorry, these are just opinions!

I actually like this show quite a lot and beats X Factor and Idol hands down. The only really downside is will.i.am's attitude - I think he talks more about himself and his success rather than the damn contestants and why he'd be beneficial to the contestant. But yes I think it's great and it really is a very selective choice of voices.

i would agree with this, i also think he only chose that frances girl because of what she said rather than her performance which was distinctively average.

Why is everyone so against will.i.am. He probably is the best person to make someone into a star on that panel.

@Grig it's not that i'm against him i just think sometimes he harps on more about HIS potential than the potential of the artist.

I have absolutely nothing against will.i.am's success however at the end of the day they are coaches. They're meant to train you in something or teach you something. Any sport coaches I've had have never banged on about how excellent they are because at the end of the day, that does not make you progress in that region. It's what they teach you that makes you progress so perhaps he's a bit too self-centred for some of the public's liking.
