This is not your ordinary signing contest show on TV, and not the kind of a Rockstar or American Idol contest or even the America’s Got talent show, this show requires more skills and art of singing and less on the looks. Yes! You read that right… they want your talent and not your look. (more story below)
Singing and talent contest are the new trend for tv shows and it is the new search engine for new talents and fresh artist that are left undiscovered in different parts of the world. The Voice is a tv show and a talent contest show that was aired in the US via NBC and it receives a 11.8 million of viewers and now the show will be here in our Philippine cable tv and will premiere on AXN this August 21 at 8pm-10pm.
So what will happen ? Okay there are celebrity and A-lister people/artist who will be listening to the singer contestant, they will seat infront of the stage but facing the audience area and not visible to the singer contestant. They are required to listen to the singer and judge them by their VOICE. If they love and like the performance they have to press the button and the chair that they are seating will turn around and they can face the singer on stage…means that they got points and they are approved!
Think of a blind audition system..
If one judge faces the singer, then it is automatically that the singer is IN and recruited to be his/her student and be coach and trained well for the next elimination, but if ever there are 2 or more judges who face the singer, then the singer should decide and select which judge will be her/his coach.
It is a very nice mechanic of a singing contest and far more different to American Idol that you will bash the singer contestant in their face, but here, the requirement is talent and not by the looks, so the judges should judge them by their VOICE only.
After the judging, all of the singers will be in a group and later on compete with each , take votes from tv viewers and iTunes download of their songs, and then judged again until one of them be selected and becomes the VOICE champion and take home a USD $ 100k money and a record deal.
There will be excitement and thrill because if you watch them on TV, you’re going to be amazed on how awesome these singers are, well, we know that our judges have high standards, but we can see here on the tv show how they can cope on the standard of The VOICE and its participants…no more bitching and lets get on with the show.
