The Voice

Anyone watch it tonight?

It was honestly better than I thought it would be. But I think the novelty will wear off once it gets to the coaching stage.

I agree. After all the overpromotion, I really wanted to dislike it, but I found myself rooting for some of the contestants and really finding the whole idea intriguing.

The different coaches add a different dynamic, and it will be interesting as they go on to see how that plays out. In a lot of ways there are almost too many things to keep track of, how many singers to each coach, the different elimination rounds, et al.

Re: The Voice

I thought the bald headed dude that didn't make it was one of the best.

Re: The Voice

I have never watched an entire episode of Idol, or any of those other shows since Star Search went off the air. I watched about 10 minutes of The Voice last night, and I was thoroughly unimpressed with everything except Cee Lo Green's shirt.

Re: The Voice

I thought it was a good show. I am not really an Idol fan. I will be interesting how the coaches pan out. Will it be like sports when the best coaches are usually not the greatest players?

Edited, misread your post. Loved the shirt.

Re: The Voice

I didn't watch it, but I'm fairly sure I can smell Christina Aguilera from here.

Ok, in all seriousness about the show, I think the idea has potential in judging people on voice talent and not the pre-packaged Idol like idea.

Re: The Voice

I have to admit, I got sucked into it. I won't be DVR'ing it or anything, but I found it much more interesting than Idol.

Re: The Voice

I DVR'd it and I thought it was a great new outside-the-box idea.
