Over-praised. Not my cup of tea. Preferred Celestine and Laverne.
Iesha, quite young, works at her local cinema, had a Whitney Houston look going on.
Oh, yes - I liked her, but her voice was a bit high for my liking.
Obviously not that brilliant if 12 years later she's still hawking herself on talent shows
Yes, they can all sing. But Adele is a very good example. She can sing AND even a tone-deaf wombat could identify her straight away as...Adele! Who amongst this lot has a distinctive voice? A REALLY distinctive voice? Yes, one or other will win but that's not worth a brass farthing. Just ask Leanne Mitchell.
There are many good artists that dont make it the first time around, and she is already doing very well anyway.
this
only act that has stood out at all so far imo has been anna mcluckie and I am still to be convinced by her
there have been a few others that have reasonable voices but there are 100s if not 1000s of acts singing in clubs all over the country as good if not better
its a little disturbing how some FMs get carried away and start proclaiming nothing more than above average karaoke singers as some sort of special talents
this isn't about taste tbh , its about people bigging up average singers , and given the breadth of music knowledge you say you have, you must realise that most of these acts are nothing more than run of the mill and have very little star quality if any
I'm interested...which singers and which FMs do you have in mind here?
it was a general observation having been active on this forum and the XF forum over the last couple of years
I've be been active in this one but not XF as I don' t watch that.
My understanding broadly is that XF is known for including many " joke acts" whose vocal ability is limited, I haven' t seen too much of that on The Voice?
tbh the overall quality once we get to the final stages isn't too different , the auditions are generally a higher standard on the voice tho I think
That is why i much prefer The Voice to X Factor as the overall standard is better from start to finish of the series, and there is a better diversity of genres of music as well.
