The Voice is terrible for a number of reasons. The main reason I can't stand it is cos will.i.am does my tits in. The other reason it's a joke of a tv show is that it has produced ZERO stars. Not a single one - aside from Becky Hill who had a number 1 in 2014 and is "critically acclaimed". Her track Losing is brilliant.
The irony being that Must Be The Music - Sky One's talent show from 2010 actually did produce a couple of top 10 singles. I use the term "irony" because you'd think a show on the BBC would draw in a bigger TV audience than a show on Sky One. Or at least have a bigger impact.

In fact, MBTM in 2010 produced more top 10 singles than The Voice has achieved in four series!!! Maybe The Voice need to get Dizzee Rascal, Sharleen Spiteri and Jamie Cullum on the judging panel, and get Fearne Cotton on board to present the show. It seemed to work for Sky One at the time. Encourage people to perform their own original songs and they'd be onto a winner.

I love the format of NBC The VOICE. ie. 2 annual cycles, iTunes releases, high profile Coaches like Christina, Blake, Ceelo Green

This is my favourite part from NBC VOICE audition page

"We are judging you on your VOICE. Come dressed in a style that represents you as an artist. Do NOT come in "chicken costumes." We are looking for serious artists ONLY."

He's made his millions so either way he's laughing all the way to the bank, plus his numerous other shows Xfactor is still a huge brand ariund the world with more and more versions, BGT is still going strong too as are the international versions.

Might give him a much needed kick up the backside though, he has got too comfortable in recent years..

Yeah he had loads of chances to turn things around and could see viewers where getting fed up of manipulation and "fixings" yet caried on and got worse and worse at it.

The last time X Factor got renewed, it was renewed together with Britain's Got Talent. You know, the show that has higher ratings than X Factor and The Voice.

Anyway, most likely ITV plans to air the Voice in winter/spring, so they can have talent shows all year round.

I think The Voice USA is amazing, much better than the UK show, greater talent all around. The coaches in the US all have genuine charisma and chemistry with each other.

Hopefully they'll be able to reboot it on ITV, and make it as good as it can be. I like X Factor, but The Voice is a better format in my opinion.

I think the theory about them replacing TXF with TV is less about the ratings and more that it is a lot cheaper, so better value for money for the ratings it gets. But on the other hand, they need a hit for Q1 anyway, so I expect them to keep both.

The Voice is absolutely abysmal, a terrible imitator of the format with a dire process and 0 success. I could see ITV buying it to use as a bargaining tool against the price of XF when its up for renewal after next year.

The Voice should move to Ch5. I do honestly believe it would suit the channel the best. ITV don't need it, at all. Unless they already know TXF is going...

ITV have doubled the BBC money to £22million. XF is going to be cancelled if thats the kind of money being thrown at it.

It depends on which source you read, and what you believe, but I read that ITV have paid £12 million, which is what BBC paid last time. The BBC offered less this time because they didn't want to get involved in a bidding war. That's a way of saying they didn't really want to keep it.

I don't think The Voice should stay with BBC anyway they got rid of Tom Jones who was one of the main reasons people liked the show.
Itv probably just want both The Voice and X factor I don't think they're getting rid of xfactor at all.

Agree. X Factor rumours of the axe were probably generated by the show's own PR team.

The voice is better but it still produces abysmal winners
At least with itv they will be heard of after the show. With the Beeb they just disappear.
