Having fallen off the American Idol bandwagon for a variety of reasons (my strong disdain for Jennifer Lopez, the lack of overall talent this season…I could go on and on). Let’s just put it this way, when Simon left the show, the program shit the bed…enough said. I am happy to report, however, that if you, like me, are a fan of reality programming competitions and yearn for a singing fix look no further than The Voice. NBC’s brilliant new show demonstrates that no matter who you are or what you look like you have got a chance. The program is full of hope and promise for these aspiring artists. Singers such as Idol cast-off Frenchie Davis tries her hand at a second chance at life proving that she will never give up on her dream.
All of the judges/coaches are not only talented themselves but they are relevant; unlike in other competition shows in which people are showcased as judges with no prior experience or expertise. (I love you Ellen, but come on you had no business being a judge on a singing competition). Each coach brings something fresh to the table and will help mold their hopefuls into become a star. Using their credentials and experience in the field, the coaches will help hone the craft for each of their team members.
The coaches are a motley crew of individuals: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and of course my man, Cee-Lo Green. My favorite part about this competition so far is how genuinely excited these artists are to help the contestants and how truly impressed they are with the prospective talents. Also, and let me know if anyone else thought this? But, wasn’t Cee-lo a bit of a pervy old man at times. It was hilarious. He hit on every legal piece of tail on stage. Man, I love him! This further proves to me that all this show does it keep it honest. I hope it continues to do well :)
