Anyone else going off it a bit?

I found myself getting bored last night, the judges take forever to give their views and it's just singer after singer with no let-up. The format is suspect too, I enjoyed the blind auditions but the rest hasn't been all that great for me.

Still love it as much as the Blind Auditions, I'm sticking to it now until the end.
I don't see the issue to be honest!! When you go to a concert, do you expect the Artist to do a couple of songs, then pop off for a break, then a few more etc etc?? Of course not! What piffle!!
I don't know whats happened to everyone
Great contestants and coaches, a live band and brilliant song choices from a wide variety of artists (Kate Bush, Temper Trap, Tom Petty, Basement Jaxx etc).
Bring the live band to the front with the acts, dont drag the coaches comments out and make it straight to the point instead off the babble most are guilty of. Its about the acts and how they sing not silly Knock Kncok joke and name dropping.
I don't like the stuff the coaches are picking for them. It all sounds much of a muchness to me. Not a melody to be found half the time!
There were a lot of ballads and a lot of songs that had their arrangements slowed right down. Even the supposed highlight/pimp spot was Bo doing Kate Bush and good as she was, it had a very understated/underwhelming feeling for me.
I preferred the feel of he show last week, even though Holly was bad. Tom and Will's team seemed to be having fun, whereas Jessie and Danny's teams were very earnest. This may have been purely song choice, but Becky and maybe Max apart, they didn't seem to be having a whole lot of fun.
The whole comment about the dancers really annoyed me. Silly woman.
No, but when I go to a concert I do expect to see genuine talent, so far sadly lacking on The Noise. There is not a single contestant there who I would go see in concert or whose albums I would buy. The inane ramblings of the coaches are even worse than XF, simply because they go on so much longer! :mad:
The spinning chairs episodes were great, but it's been all downhill since then.
Worst thing for me is the dragged out judges' comments. They're an absolute snooze for the most part.
Also, I don't know why I was deluded enough to think this, but I thought this show might actually deliver a decent amount of singing given it's all about THE VOICE(!) I timed a few songs last week, and no-one sang for more than 2 minutes. So with 10 contestants, that meant less than 20 minutes of singing in a show that ran for 90 minutes. That's 70 minutes of intro's/padding/blether which is WAY too much IMO. No wonder it feels lacking in pace (to me, anyway).
Either they should shorten the show or let the contestants sing full songs (there's a novel thought!:eek::rolleyes:).
Holly's screeching is becoming unbearable now someone please back me up on that!
And Jessie comes across slightly arrogant.
But that's just my opinion.
Yep, I agree with that. Overall I thought she was better than last week but I noticed even more how she struggles to compete with the noise of the crowd and it doesn't sound at all pleasant.
I also think live Will is proving to be a problem. I bet he is replaced next year. He is way more out of his depth than Holly is. Holly actually isn't so bad and I would rather Holly do this than Cat Deeley.
There are some very talented artists on The Voice. They obviously don't appeal to your taste, and that's your opinion - they don't all appeal to mine, but that doesn't mean they aren't talented artists in their field. That has been the refreshing difference between this and X Factor - all the artists can actually sing, and have some level of understanding of their instrument.
