As the title says, its sickening the way they are being told how wonderful they all are, even after a couple of mediocre performances

    It makes for a very bland, not to mention insincere, show.

    Some of the performances tonight have been horrific.

    It was like someone going into A&E with their arm hanging off and a nurse giving them a bandaid and saying there, there it's not so bad.

    It makes a mockery of the show being about The Voice when some of the coaching is clearly trying to teach a fish to climb trees.

    TOTALLY agree! I don't mind it when it's deserved but telling acts like Matt & Suleen they were amazing just makes the whole thing so insincere and far too nicey nice. I like when the judges are a bit more cutting on X-Factor and the like, especially when the acts deserve it!

    But Danny and Jessie did criticise their performance?

    I like the fact that the judges are supportive, and are not just downright cruel to warrant boos.

    Both Jessie and Danny gave gentle critic, without humiliating the contestants, I think its alot more human that way, alot nicer.

    True :p By the judges I meant 'some of' them (ie Will and Tom, even though it's his act!), should've worded it better! Jessie is probably the best judge, I don't like her as a person personally but she talks the most sense and is usually the one to call someone out on whatever they did wrong.

    there is a lack of critique.

    it doesn't have to be nasty or gratuitous.

    but it does need to be in there.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me I think the Matt and Sullen are way overrated, they murdered that song tonight.
    Strangely I had the show on in the background, and I thought that on the voice alone tonight, there were some really abysmal performances tonight.

    Yep. Jessie often gives good constructive criticism yet gets attacked for it being called grumpy. At least she's honest. Tom and Will are pretty insincere.

    I'm not comparing The Voice to BGT or X Factor, Simon Cowell is irrelevant to my comment.

    The Voice was an opportunity for the BBC to demonstrate that the UK could hold a credible talent show in this age of reality tv shows, and, in my humble opinion, have failed dismally.

    Maybe they thought that Matt and Sueleen were good.

    I loved them tonight they were in my top 2 or 3 performances.

    As for the judges, it's hard to be massively critical when everyone is good.

    It was great, the turning the chairs round bit was great great tv, the battle rounds were.... okay..... but now its basically the x-factor but the judges dont tell them they were crap and instead big them up into superstars. I watched about 20 minutes of tonights show, absolutely zero tension and drama, the acts were boring, the judges refused to critisize and there was a much better show to watch on the other side.

    Great start, but its gone shooting downhill in my opinion.

    The show isn't about that, if you want that stuff stay on the other channel.
