Jim Shelley in The Mirror has given a very good review of The Voice here.

He seems really impressed with the coaches who he thought had a "relaxed rapport and an enjoyable rivalry" He said they were "refreshingly articulate" compared to others and "gave constructive criticism to those who didn't make it and let them down gently and respectfully."

I don't know what to expect. I'm interested in the upcoming weeks. I think I'm quite fond of the show.
In contrast, as this reviewer said, we got to see will.i.am experience rejection, which he took with delightfully good grace. An X-factor judge would probably have burst into tears or come back with a withering put-down if faced with the same adversity.
i thought it was a bit lifeless. the coaches were good and contestants were all competent but it had no real style or personality of it's own.
still first ep. so it's got plenty left in it.
One thing he did point out was the lack of jargon which was refreshing. I don't believe a single judge said "you nailed it" all evening! Now if they could just do away with the screaming....
You hit the nail on the head about a group of folks who suddenly post on this particular DS forum.
hopefully the talent/coach chemistry and overall working format on The Voice UK will keep them quiet in the coming weeks;)
Yes, I agree. It has always grated with me that X-Factor judges are presented as being near divinity, when the reality is very much less. Quite often, in the case of Cole or Minogue, those who are being judged are far superior singers to those doing the judging. At least with The Voice, no one is going to be a better singer than Tom Jones!
A fact which will have won him much credit. I don't like his music, but I do like him. Also, it's worth noting, Will I Am is secure in his success, he doesn't need to do The Voice, and is likely only on the show because he thinks it's a fun thing to do, and it just might gain him a client or two who can make them both more dollars.
