The Voice

 

Another competition show I’ve been watching is The Voice. The Voice is a show where four judges are turned away from the stage when someone is singing to not judge their voice based on their appearance. If they decided they like their voice and potentially want to coach them they turn their chairs around. Once all coaches teams are full they then compete against each other until there is one winner from one coach. I’ve been watching the show since the beginning and they’re constantly changing the judges just when I’m starting to get used to them.

At first there was Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, and Christina Aguilera. I like this group of judges, because I liked all of them individually, and not only that, but they worked well on the show, and you could tell they all liked each other, and there wasn’t some hidden dislike between the judges. After a couple of seasons they traded CeeLo and Christina for Usher and Shakira and out this was my least favorite group out of all three. It’s not that I didn’t like them I did, but it seemed like the show wasn’t as “fun” as it was before, and I know the show is a competition show, and it doesn’t need to be fun, but it was more entertaining to watch when the judges joked, and messed around. They have gone back and forth between these two for a couple seasons, but now they’re changing it up. Instead of Usher and Shakira they are now having Pharell, and Gwen Stefani. I like Gwen, because everyone that chose her as a coach she gave them a t-shirt she had made that said Team Gwen, and I thought that was cool, because it showed the contestants that she does truly care.…..

 Out of all the changing of coaches two coaches have never left Blake and Adam. I think they haven’t left yet, because the viewers of the show love them. Adam and Blake are great friends and you can tell by how they act on the show. They are constantly fighting, and picking on each other, but you can still tell they’re really good friends, and I think that’s why they’ve stayed on the show for so long, because viewers love to be entertained while watching a show that doesn’t have to do with entertaining. Another thing that I’ve noticed is that some of the contestants seem to avoid Blake, because he is known for being a country singer, and people who aren’t country singers tend to go for people like Gwen or Pharell. I think that if it was up to me I would chose Blake, because although he is a country singer he is still a singer, and still knows how to sing and the technique of singing. Not only that, but since he does tend to go for country singers and if I was a powerhouse singer I would go for Blake, because you would stand out in his group instead of going to another team where you sound just the same as everybody else.

I like the voice, and what it stands for, because they judge them on their voice, and not their look which nowadays you get into show business if you “have the right look,” and I think that’s wrong, and I like how people who have never been confident about themselves can go up there and just sing, and not be picked based on their look. Since the show just started I don’t have a favorite out of the contestants, but I’m excited for the show to continue, and who will be the next voice winner.
