  1. I liked the show, but I don’t think I can stand watching this ‘battle of the singers’ thing they’ve got going now. A battle of singers basically means the loudest and highest singer wins. But music isn’t just about that; it’s about being emotionally connected with a song, it’s about light and shade and nuance. This concept is going to result in an assault to our ears and will be quite a sad and embarrassing state of affairs for the singers.

  2. I’m getting sick of hearing the same comments over and over. How many times has Seal said “It wasn’t unique enough” or “You are the reason we’re doing this show” or “You have the voice”. And all of them always say “You’re in great hands with ____” as their only comment (except when they want the same person in which case they’re better than ____) or “I would’ve pressed the button but…”.

  3. Whats with no pressing the buzzer but they always say you have an amzing voice. Cmon guys if they had an amazing voice then you should press the button. Whats with delta’s constant fake same reaction with every singer. Getting boring delta. One more gripe how is it that most of the singers are known to the judges. They all seem to be in the industry., check out the surnames, sebastion,barnes,jenson and the rest are all theatre singers, or back up singers for famous singers and famous bands. So much for the judges not knowing who they are. As soon as mahalia opened her mouth delta, kieth and joel knew who it was. Good show but getting predictable. Its not really about the voice only. Its more about the judges. The judges seem to know who the singers are .

  4. I record The Voice now and fast forward all the extra bits. I watch the performance and who the artist chooses. I agree with Steve I am over the hesitant pressing the button and then when no one presses they all say you have an amazing voice etc. Although after turning the channel onto 7 to watch Revenge and had to put up with about 15 minutes of AGT where 2 girls and a dwarf got in for jelly wrestling I know why so many people are watching The Voice.

  5. Well I’m Nine’s target demo and I am already over The Voice. The “will I … won’t I” press the button routine by the ‘coaches’ is over done. I might be back for the Finale but that’s all.

    You know, I have an idea part of the continuing success (so far) of the program is due to the chemistry of and between the judges. I think this may well continue into the battle rounds.

  7. Hawaii Five O got more than NCIS LA?? Ten have stuffed up big time with NCIS LA. Should have stayed Tuesday with NCIS.
    And I planned to watch Hawaii Five 0, but turned off at 9.45, it didn’t start until 9.50 despite a 9.30 start time. I’ll go back to watching Hawaii Five 0 elsewhere
