Lead singer from Kaiser Chiefs.
What an uninspired and boring choice
Kyle Minogue to Kaiser? :yawn:

He adds a bit of cool IMO even if they've been quiet lately
Still, I expect they blew the budget on Kylie and this guy is doing it for peanuts.
Most talent show judges aren't.
Kylie's there on the basis of past glories, much the same as Tom Jones really, experience counts I suppose and they'll always get a gig somewhere or other.
Doubt that can be said for Ricky though, he'd struggle just as much as the contestants auditioning.
Let's be honest the only people who were ever going to do this show now were those who had nothing to lose,
Kaiser Chiefs are a much bigger band than the script IMO.
I like the band and I like him. I'd have preferred James Morrison or someone of that ilk, but Wilson will do
Kylie is still very successful and relevant. Consistent chart and live success. This whole not relevant thing is a fallacy, few popstars consistently achieve the album sales and live ticket sales that she does.
Ricky is an interesting choice, his band don't necessarily achieve the chart positions they used to but they are still doing well in their field. He seems like he could be interesting as well, hopefully not as irritating as Danny.
So isn't aswell . Tbh aslong as they make good telly
The new line-up/presenting team certainly appeals to me more than the original one (Reggie excepted, who was woefully underused and was never really given an opportunity to shine). Really hope the new dynamic works!
Fine choice.
Have to agree with you and I can't believe they didn't grab Reggie and keep him as solo host. drat. For me he's really watchable and one of the best voices out there amongst presenters. Love his voice I do.
But I do like Emma and I'm looking forward to it's return with the new coaches on board. Can't wait tbh:o:cool:
Kylie - Christina, the big star
will.i.am - Cee Lo, The big current artist (in 2010/11)
Ricky - Adam & Blake, Established band though not relevant, Have cult following
Tom - His own genre, appealing to grannys
I know Ricky via friends, but I don't like him. Unfortunately he is of the opinion that he's got as high a level of fame & achievement of not just Kylie, but Madonna. Not as "nice" as he looks on TV folks. Beware........ the "don't you know who I am" stories will be out in force soon.
The previous two series I have more or less given up on The Voice, but with no more Jessie J, and with these two instead it will be so much more watchable next year! I think I will be sticking with the whole series this time.
It can, The Kaiser Chief's were massive in the mid-noughties, and though no longer chart artists are still going strong now.
It's always good to have mentors from different genres and Will and Kylie would have had to much crossover imo whereas Ricky will bring a rock edge to the show and not rock-lite like Danny.
I'm really looking forward to the Voice now. Not sure about Marvin, would have preferred Regy, but I'm willing to give him a chance and from deciding to never watch again halfway through last series, I'll be glued to my tv for new series. Hope I last a bit longer this time, but still don't know how they're going to get over the main barrier to me of losing everyone's favourites before public even has chance to vote.
Ricky's a great choice, he's not as poppy and mainstream as this forum would like but to talent show fan tastes or not, he's part of one of the biggest UK rock bands of the last decade, and he's a big personality.
Nicely put
