sjordan2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Been following it closely since top artists Jordan Smith and Emily Ann Roberts are from my neck of the woods. No question that Kentucky boy Jordan will win the competition. But my local Knoxville girl, 17-year-old Emily Ann Roberts, will win the multimillion-dollar superstar career like Carrie Underwood. In spite of the material she was given tonight that didn't show her voice to its full potential, she's right up there in Dolly Parton territory, and in her final appearance was jaw-droppingly, achingly beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Jordan Smith (A relative perhaps?) is an interesting character. You'd never expect that voice to come out of that kid! Sitting here enjoying the Adele concert that followed The Voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Never saw it. Seems to be an American Idol ripoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Never saw it. Seems to be an American Idol ripoff?Basically, but much more entertaining due to the antics of Blake Shelton and his sidekick Adam Levine. Emily Ann has reminded me of Dolly Parton several times this season, too. Is there a market today for that kind of music? If so, she's going to make a boatload of money. I also liked the girl who sounded a lot like Norah Jones. I think she's got a promising career in music ahead, too, even if she didn't make the final four.

Quick GMC Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Never saw it. Seems to be an American Idol ripoff?Not even close. They don't waste their time with the lame people. The worst singers that get booted off are better than most, or all the singers on American Idol. It's a pretty legit show. It shows them getting training from their coaches and guest coaches. No drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drama. Absolutely. And while American Idol is heading into oblivion during its last season, The Voice is a ratings leader for its 2 weekly outings. And Snake, I agree with you if you're talking about Amy Vachal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Since I can't edit the last post, I'll just add this. Unlike Idol, there is no prima donna infighting among egotistical judges. Everybody likes each other (especially Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani), and it's a serious show despite a lot of levity. They're not only judges but coaches, and do the best they can to mentor the really talented members of their teams. While the production numbers are filled with glitz, this show is filled with heart.Sure, it's a singing competition like Idol, but they're miles apart. No rip-off here.

No rip-off here.oh, ok... got it.But to be honest, part of the appeal of American Idol, to me at least, is the interplay between the judges. That's a really entertaining part of the show, especially when Simon was still on it. The three current judges (Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, and Harry Connick) all get along too well. No tension, no sniping, no catfights.Oh well... like all TV shows, there is a limited lifespan, and AI will be history after this next season. It'll be interesting to see if The Voice will match AI as far as number of years on the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent G Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I never watched any of these shows until Steven Tyler became a judge on Idol. That first year was hysterical, obviously no one knew how to corral him. The second year was a bust as he was toned way down. Never watched any of them again.G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not sure what some of you guys call Drama but Blake and Adam are nothing but Drama, And made up Drama at that, but Why? they are like two high school girls. I can not watch this show because of these two. The concept of the Voice is awesome but the mute button would get a huge workout while I watched it. Just like when Simon was talking on Idol.

Snake45 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Is it maybe scripted?Very little if any. Blake and Adam are actually good friends who respect each others' talents. On-show, they have a bitter "rivalry" that's obviously all in fun. They're very entertaining to watch, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that annoying.I used to have the same opinion of him. But I can kinda put up with him now. He sort of grows on you. He's not THAT bad, if you give him a chance.
