Ricky looked shell shocked at the result.

I wonder if it will make him less likely to come back? Commercially though this has really raised his profile.

What's WITH that?!?! He seems ok for a bit, then he suddenly goes all creepy looking. I've found it hard to take to him the whole series. Least favourite judge/coach of mine.
He can be a bit lairy maybe he's remembering his song when he does that.:)
What lecherous looks? I can't say I've seen any.
It's not very pretty I tell theee...
lol, tbh, I havent a clue what you're talking about. I saw Tom Jones eyeing up some of the female contestants but for me, Ricky has gave The Voice it's Indie edge. The previous guy was just a pop band masquerading as an indie band, but Kaiser Chiefs are the real deal Indie wise and it gave The Voice some respect from British guitar band fans who are fans of groups writing their own music and performing their own instruments.
It's the gorgeous blue eyes and his lovely warm personality I think!
Thats why I think he picked Emily Adams over the other girl!
I wasn't. I would be more shocked if the bookies favourite actually WON The Voice
Has he committed to anything now the series is over? I've heard nothing about that
Update- I just checked her twitter feed he's saying "I won't let you down"
Point one. Jermaine was not awful. He was not my preferred choice but he was certainly not awful.
Point two. Unless the voting was rigged, she was not robbed.
That's what I thought and hoped for when Ricky was first announced as a coach. However, either because of the acts put through by the shows producers or by his own choice, none of the acts in the later rounds had any edge (for any judge).
The cynic in me says this is because its Saturday evening TV and anyone with an edge is deemed "high risk" from a viewing perspective and is thus screened out. The result is the show ends up being a mix of "West End show singers" or Radio 2 Sunday afternoon listening, i.e. nothing new, no boundaries being pushed.
I'm not saying the finalists couldn't sing, but from the country that gave the world The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Oasis, Muse and more, its an inaccurate reflection of British Musical scene if this show is genuinely showing the best undiscovered talent.
Every act you have used as an example (good examples btw) is a BAND, not an individual.
Okay, there are/were individuals within these bands, but their freshness and genre-making abilities came from the band as a whole - the mix of band members.
For example, although Matt Bellamy's distinctive vocals give the edge to Muse, the whole band plays an integral part in the music.
Another example, Roger Daltrey is a very distinctive vocalist for The Who, but it is the overall sound which makes the band unique.
And so on....
On the UK scene in particular, groups of musicians/singers are more likely to produce a new/cutting edge sound than individual singers.
And that kind of made Ricky's job harder. He was never going to find cutting edge indie from a group of individual singers.
I noticed that too. Funny a lot of posters are finding him creepy. Maybe its just the way he looks, but still it is a bit yukky.
