Thanks two of Toms choices tonight were very poor and the opponent's were better.
for me it was the opposite, i felt most of the white female singers sounded too similar
i think letitia was the only shouty one...the rest bring something a little different. i liked autumn and the d twins
you seriously saying rita ora picked dwtinz over the mac bros based on musical ability and not on style and looks ?
even you cant believe that
I can believe that, because I also would've picked D'Twinz. I thought The Mac Bros were crap.
yep they were, nothing interesting or different. reminded me of the x factor macdonald bros
Absolutely precisely why I question some of the choices made.
Agreed with these posts. There was nothing impressive or compelling about The Mac Bros, they lost that battle.
Exactly! I was wondering how long it would be until someone brings out the race card on The Voice forum and lo and behold.....it happens almost all the time with reality and talent shows.
Agreed, most of them on tonight's show did sing in the same screechy and shouty tone. However, you will find most black and white singers sound similar to each other.
You have summed them up very well. They all have different styles.
Although it does seen a bit urban heavy, although they were always going to axe a lot of young white females at this stage, they could not have it too young female heavy as it would cost votes despite them being the best acts
Majority of these acts have no chance of post show careers so not sure why so many are through.
Would hope they would lose most of these at the next stage as they are just ok nothing special
Over the years we have had legends like Hendrix, and other stars like Roachford (who is now lead singer of Mike and the Mechanics), Lenny Kravitz, Rage Against The Machine, etc etc, all of which have Black vocalists. Just because a person isn't white, it shouldn't subject them being stuck to R'n'B, when there are plenty of other genres. I love Reggae music and would prefer to see new artists do that kind of material instead of the awfulness of Beyonce / Emeli Sande / Jennifer Hudson / Whitney.
Edit with Emeli Sande, I loved the duet of "Read all about it" she done with Prof Green as it had a good beat to it and I loved the Rap to it, I however cannot stand the wrist slitting solo version that she done on her own. I also cannot stand that "Clown" song, but enjoyed "Beneath your beautiful" & loved "Next to me", as that had a rock feel to it.
It would be nice to see someone like Abi Sampa whho was on the show a couple of years ago, but i guess it's not main stream unfortunately.
There are currently and have been a number of AA artist who are rock musicians, as well as being in other music genres, such as jazz, hip hop, easy listening and pop music, so they are not mostly 'stuck' to the R'n'B genre. The problem is that they don't get as much recognition as they should perhaps, hence why they may seem rare.
Some of the well-known great rock musicians such as James Brown, Jimmi Hendrix, are sadly no longer here.
