Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

JRod This show exists to attract viewers, advertisers and dollars. If you think otherwise, you are just fooling yourself.The disclaimers alone are intolerable, such as the fact that they can change the outcome however they see fit. Then we have other major issues such as the popularity of the coach greatly influencing voting, and the concept of vote splitting.The vote split is really damning for the show when combined with the popularity of a coach, since it means a coach with two artists will always lose compared to a coach with one artist.So when will the producers do the right thing to make the show completely fair to the artists? I suppose when the viewers stop tuning in they will make a big deal about how they are changing things in order to get us back.In the meantime, we can all skip the commercials and also not buy those junky cars they keep giving away. We'll fast forward through all the coaching stupidity and lame lip syncing guests and just enjoy the very few truly great performances by the artists.

atlasmb You're a sixteen year old girl and you live in Wakeman--an obscure town located in somewhere in Ohio. After teaching yourself to play the guitar, you begin to write lyrics. Being an introvert, few people have ever heard you play or know of your growing fascination with the world of music. At your age, it would be difficult to move to Nashville and immerse yourself in the lifestyle that is calling you. But you have watched "The Voice" for a few years and it may be your lifeline."The Voice" is the most visible vocal competition after "American Idol", which is now in its final season. Compared to "Idol", it takes a wider range of auditioners. And it allows potential contestants to participate in "blind auditions", where the judges can hear but not see them.For the teenager from Wakeman, this opportunity may be the realization of The Dream--that emotion-packed hidden hope that she treasures deep inside. This show is all about The Dream, and that's why it is so compelling. Banter among the judges keeps the show's tone light, but those tear-inducing moments when a vocal artist is selected by a judge (or four) and finds his/her Dream within reach are the emotional moments that drive the show.The level of talent is higher than "Idol". Potential contestants are pre-screened more rigorously. The viewer doesn't see the "cattle call" auditions of "Idol", that include sad cases of delusion or funny examples of quirky near-talent.The current judges are Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton. It's a talented group of entertainers and producers who really enjoy each other's company and add humor to the proceedings. They also coach the contestants--an added value that attracts many auditioners."The Voice" offers a wider range of vocal styles than "Idol", which pares its field to fit a narrower prototype. As a result, "The Voice" feels more inclusive and more organic. It offers plenty of entertainment...plus it includes those transcendent moments when unknown artists glimpse The Dream.

GypsyNomad I want to like this show but there are aspects that I really don't, especially during the first few weeks. I wouldn't mind all the talking and personal stories IF they didn't skip artists. Unlike Idol, I believe since I never actually ever watched that show, they don't show people with absolutely no talent or don't go for it. I'm fine with them skipping artists that don't make it, I'm also OK with them showing those artists that got invited for a chance but didn't make it. I'm not OK with them showing nothing of the artists that DID make it to show ones that didn't, but even that doesn't bother me as much as them skipping the artists so they can tell us the sob story of a few and all the recapping that just wastes time!

Shelly Versaevel This is the second season that I have been watching the Voice, and I am captivated and amazed at the awesome talent. I enjoy seeing the wide variety of musical styles, and the uniqueness of each singers personality. As a viewer you get attached to each performer, and hope for their success as well. I do not know how the judges are able to vote sometimes, because there are so many wonderful performers. I think the greatest thing watching the show is that these are just everyday people like you or I who are out there putting their heart and soul on the line to follow their dreams. As a viewer you want each one to be a winner as well. I enjoy watching the dialogue that takes place between the judges, and watching how they are able to bring out the best in each performer and, make a difference in each one of their lives. They all genuinely care about each performer and want them to succeed. I look forward to each show!
