Which one do you think is better i personal think the voice is better :)

I had high hopes for the voice, felt very let down. Their promise of no sob stories or packages turned out to be lies. Also didn't see any great singers, not one of them who got through was note perfect. Seemed more about the judges' egos than the talent.

Bgt was better than I expected, several vocal acts better than anything on the voice by some distance. Welsh choir were very good and both their soloists were note perfect. Also opera guy was very good. New judges much better than the hoff/Morgan.

I didn't here about the "no sob stories" and was annoyed then most of the contestant's had sob stories.

Wish they brought pop idol back

when you are asked about your life, are you just expected to leave out the sad parts - I actually find it quite uplifting when someone who has struggled with something, then has the courage to come forward.

not one of the acts on the Voice were ridiculed by the judges - yet it seems to be the norm when someone walks on stage on BGT to ridicule them - ie Alesha when the opera fella walked on turned and said "just when we thought it couldnt get any worse" - to me, the voice has MORE talent, MORE class, and by the end of the series they will have a lot MORE viewers!!!

First point, they shouldn't be asked about their life. As you said, seeing someone with a sob story makes you feel uplifted, so you are more inclined to want them to do well, so you are more inclined to vote for them. The whole point of the voice was to even out the playing field, and as in the introduction they specifically mentioned "no sob stories or packages", they fail on 2 counts.
It could also be pointed out that the whole premise of the show is flawed. The only part of the show where they are judged blind is the first round. I don't know how it works, but if there is any sort of public vote then I can say for a fact that the public won't only vote based on the quality of the voice.

On the opera guy on Bgt, I thought it was Simon that said it personally. But what you have to remember is that he owns the show, and nothing goes out on air without his say so. What this means then is that he has accepted that he (and the others probably) judged the guy on looks and got it wrong. As with the Susan boyle case, there is an acceptance that they wrongly jumped to a conclusion.

Overall what it strikes me as, is that The Voice is an attempt by the BBC to ridicule X factor/American idol. The fact that they spend a lot of time emphasizing the difference is clear evidence of that. And fair enough, if they were different then they would have a good point, but the fact that most of the differences claimed are lies makes that rather hollow. I also think that Tom Jones doesn't know what he is on about, as before the show started he claimed that 'at least our judges have experience of performing on stage'... yep cos Gary Barlow didnt have the fastest selling tour of all time (or some stat like that). The voice has potential, but the BBC need to focus more on getting the show right and less on trying to get one over on ITV.

Rant over.

nice rant

Britains Got Talent.. just because Ant & Dec are amusing... though I dont like either shows, I just like the skits, Britains Got MORE Talent with Stephen is better than both shows! Especially Ant VERSUS Dec!!

Ranker!! Ranker!! Ranker!!

BGT, purely for Walliams.

the voice.... something different.... for now... then it'll become like the rest, BGT, XFactor etc, the same old stuff and boring

Tom Jones... Jessie J... WillIAM... Good panel..

But The guy from the Script?? Seriously??? lol

Though you could argue why Amanda Holden is on the panel to a degree even though she has done average at best TV and Theatre....

x factor wipes the floor with both,but will be intresting to see whoever wins the voice what happens to them and how big they end up,dont you think? in bgt you have susan boyle and 1 dance act that you stilll hear about and x factor still have massive acts,alexandra burke,leona lewis,olly murs,jls,one direction all still in the charts and been to america i wonder if the voice can bring superstars like michael buble,robbie williams and beyonce into the show near the end to sing with the acts.........i still watch all 3 of these shows just for coz i love saturday night telly lol (the baacking singer girl on the voice will win) x x

wall i ams lol the voice have some1 called that to,woooooo...spooky!

would love to see a show called "big strictly come factor jungle brother and x dancing"

on ice

on ice? dont be silly,thats a stupid idea how you meant to do that on ice haha i missed the ice bit lol

Which is precisely why they do it. Half the time it is a pack of lies though.

Matt Cardle for example was portrayed as a down and out painter and decorator when the truth was he was minted.

He has never indicated that he is poor. His kind parents offered to pay for his musical efforts, but he instead chose to work for it! That's why he was a painter and decorator.....Just because his mum and dad are well off doesnt mean he is.

Just because he has never mentioned his mum and dads wealth doesnt mean he was lying.

What was he supposed to say? 'hi, im matt cardle, my mum and dad are really wealthy and could easily pay for my music, but i chose to pay for it myself so there for i am a painter and decorator'.... erm............. no.

Been reading the papers again eh?

Can everyone please vote for Only Boys Aloud from Britain's Got Talent. The number is 09020442409. These are a genuine bunch of boys who put their heart into everything they do. I know 3 of the group as they are in my school and they put a huge amount of effort in to succeed. Thanks very much.
