The winner of The Voice UK

WINNERS SINGLE: All You Good Friends

I think it's a great song. First time the voice has properly gone down this route of an actual specific winners single

Thoughts?

I like Kevin and saw LIberty X formed from the runners up of Popstars. I bought quite a few of their singles back in the day. I really don't like the song though,. It doesn't go anywhere at all. It doesn't have a good melody or a decent rhythm, I half expected the traditional key change and gospel choir ending but it didn't even do that. Meh.
Good luck to Kevin though.

I was a big Liberty X fan back in the day and I had all their albums but I really don't like this song. It doesn't really go anywhere and is just a typical winners single ballad Even LX's ballads on their second album were better. Good luck to Kevin though.

I really like the song, am pleased for him, it took guts to put himself up for possible rejection. 4 good finalists, hope they all get something out of the show.

Not interested in listening to the song, sorry. The guy already had his chance of a music career with Liberty X.

So nobody deserves a second chance? It takes guts to come back and give it another go. Good for him.

I've got to say, he's a fantastic singer and I love his voice. Unfortunately though, he falls into the same category as many fantastic singers on these shows...having no identify as an artist. I mean, what sort of music is he going to rehearse? Liberty X was years and years ago and he's been trying to make it ever since, yet during all that time he still doesn't seem to have found what sort of artist he wants to be.

Yes, Well done to Kevin Simm. It shows real talent that he wrote and arranged the song, played all the instruments on it and....oh hang on, no he didn't.

Like all "talent" show winners, he's just another talentless pop puppet whose only ability is to be able to hold a tune while looking pretty. I'm sure that once his single flops he'll be back singing on the cruise ships before the year's out.

I think that's pretty unfair - he was hardly going to get free reign to create his own winner's single, this is effectively a souvenir of the TV series. It will be interesting to see what Kevin does next, he is a good singer and I'd quite like to see him do well, but I find it a bit odd that someone who was/is part of a well known group has won the show. Liberty X have even been doing odd shows for the last few years since being on The Big Reunion!

I don't mind him at all using the show as a platform to remind people of who he was, but I don't think it is right someone who already had a high profile pop career should actually win.

lets face it is great to see some of the rejected guys/gals from the original music reality show do well again...

it was a travesty how Kevin and Kellie didn't make 'Hearsay' originally...

with regards the song i was expecting a bad song..it wasn't it was familiar factor winning song fodder with the recent indie soft rock pop stylings...but it was only suited to Kevin or J

#24

...but people don't realise that Stevie had a loyal Scottish following. He was even #1 in Scotland's singles chart with Lost Stars.

Also Kevin had already lost 2 days of sales when All You Good Friends was released because charts are compiled from Friday morning up to Thursday night. Releasing a new single now on a Saturday night just doesn't have the same impact.

going by the old official chart rules, Kevin is number 4.

but since streaming now counts towards the charts - kevin only comes out at number 24
