Anyone else excited about Ricky Wilson on the voice?

Can't wait for it to start just to have him on my telly every Saturday night!

Yes but probably for different reasons than you!

He will be a credible judge.

[Deleted User] · 09/01/14 - 03:53

Well will you be shocked if I said it was to see him as a judge?

Have seen him live many times and he is a great showman just desperate to see if that comes across in his choices.

For those who like me asked "who's Ricky Wilson"?
Wikipedia entry> Charles Richard "Ricky" Wilson (born 17 January 1978) is the lead singer of English band Kaiser Chiefs, a five piece band from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Their successful songs include "Ruby", "I Predict a Riot", "Never Miss a Beat" and "Oh My God".Before the formation of the Kaiser Chiefs in 1996, Wilson was a member of the band Runston Parva (later known as Parva). On 19 September 2013, Wilson was confirmed as a coach on The Voice UK, replacing Danny O'Donoghue in 2014.

I think he will make a credible judge/coach. Lets just hope some coaching takes place though, I recall there were complaints that in the last series the coaches jetted of to their respective penthouses in Los Angeles etc immediately after the recording.

Hope so!

Seems like someone who is a bit too cool for school and wouldn't do something so mainstream if he was just going to play at it or was looking for the fame.

Was it to highlight any thread in particular?

barbeler · 09/01/14 - 05:04

Does anybody else know who he is?

No. There is also a Voice forum so this thread should be moved to it

I'm more excited about Kylie being on the show.

Funny. I never thought I'd ever see the words 'Ricky Wilson' and 'excited about' used in the same sentence. Live and learn.

Nickelback · 09/01/14 - 14:27

Yep,I know who he is, don't normally watch these type of shows, but since Ricky's on I'll make an Exception,

Ha! I thought you were thinking of him as eye candy!!

I think he is a fabulous addition to the judging panel. It's Kylie Minogue I am not so bothered about. I've never really rated her.

Sorry when I made this thread there wasn't a separate Voice thread or if there was I can't say I noticed it.

BRITLAND · 10/01/14 - 04:07

I'm actually looking forward to him, never expected someone from a band like Kasier Chefs to pole a talent show with a stick never mind be a coach/judge on it
