Alright I stopped watching voice talent styled shows after David Cook was on American Idol well I caught one or two shows of the Voice when it was on and I did not really give it much thought. That was until this year. I decided I was curious to see why everyone loved it so much, and I admit it I like Shakira and I like Usher. I love Blake. Adam well I wish he would say the Moves like Pasha instead of Jagger but that is a whole new blog post.
I have to say the first thing I love about the voice is watching Blake and Adam squabble like two married bitties. They are relentless on each other. Case in point what just took place now I am watching on Demand, and Adam turned for a country artist that Blake did not turn for. Odd because he usually does. That said..the first thing Adam does is stand up and say “First off..” he points directly at Blake and proclaims, “Stupid!”. This is just one example of the bickering.
What I find myself truly enjoying about the voice is that it is based truly on the vocal talent. I remember when some of the “larger” or not “standard” looking people on Idol were told by Simon they wouldn’t make it because they did not have the right look. Yet many of them went on to have a really good career. I think it is sad that music talent is so over auto tuned these days to make someone who “looks the part” appear better and the person who truly has the epic vocal talent does not get so far. I mean look at the housewives..yeesh okay a whole nother post there but seriously how many of them have released TERRIBLE auto tuned songs. I love that the judges purely have to decide to turn around on what they think of the voice period.
My favorite example of that from what I am watching this year is a gentleman with a fantastic falsetto. I think the only one who turned around was Shakira and when the boys turned around Blake proclaims “Your a DUDE?!” “Your not supposed to be a dude!” the others concurred that they could have “spoken into the mic” or something before he talked, lol. They all agree that his voice is not something you usually find with a man and they loved it. Did I mention he sung a Whitney Houston song? He killed it in the good way too.
I hope that this show stays like it is and does not end up being one I will stop watching because I think it is rigged like idol. For now the Voice has made a fan out of me. Although after seeing some pictures today I think Adam should take his shirt off when he wants a lovely lady to join his team and he is going toe to toe..Just saying he would win, lol
