Does the BBC want the Voice to secretly fail? No wonder the audiences are dropping like a stone, its not so much the content of the shows, its the timing which is dismal from the BBC. Semi finals on really early in summertime, the same night as televised England footy and Eurovision, the final on the Saturday of the Diamon Jubilee...madness!! Very few will be watching the final live, its simply crazy. The BBC surely must schedule the next series at better times....a shame as the format is far better than X factor..Commercial tv would have done the show so much better...

They could put it on at 3p.m on Christmas Day and it still wouldn't cut the mustard
Um, I don't know whether this was meant to be clever or ironic or whatever, but I think less people would watch if it were to be on Christmas day? I don't watch much TV on Christmas and I'm not sure if you do, but if I do, I only tend to watch Christmas-related programmes?
I think it should have ran from the middle of January to the middle of March or so because I agree that the scheduling is seriously affecting the ratings (in my opinion).
That's what happened with SYTYCD... the first series did well as the Beeb aired it in January/Feb, but the second series flopped as they put it in a May/June slot.
When the show started at 7:00 it had high ratings every episode. The dip started when they changed the time slot.
I don't think recording the result show and airing it Sunday night helps.
Also it lacks any spark as when Holly had a chance to shine by sticking up for Max Milner when the judges were having a go at him she simply wimped out and said nothing as usual. The Voice started off great but now it's a mess.
You're absolutely right on that score. It's an awful decision which surely must be rectified for the next series or there's no hope at all for a third series of The Voice.

The music artists like Paloma Faith and Cheryl Cole have been terrible.
It's lacking in entertainment
Plus Jessie J really needs to sort her attitude out.
That thing the other week where she started her song again apparently due to earpiece problems was a complete and utter shambles.
It didn't look professional, and even though it happened I still find it hard to believe that it did.
It just made it come across as a really cheap show.
I agree with this, it is far too po faced and self righteous and has no grounds to be. It's merely a derivative of pop idol type programs it get's on my nerves how it is portrayed as being a superior, serious singing competition when it is clearly just another karaoke competition like x factor without the novelty acts.
Results won't be on at 10 on as Saturday night. News then match of the day.
Show 7-8.30
Results 9.30 be better but have to fit the loterry game show draw into the schedule.
BBCs Saturday night schedule is very restrictive.
