NBC's "The Voice"

The new season of NBC's "The Voice" started today.

What did you guys think?

It's only the first day of blind auditions.

So far, I think last year's contestants were much better. :(

I have given up on the US version of "The Voice" about halfway through season 2.

I don't know exactly why, but I just found most of the contestants to be boring, lifeless with severe lack of personality, plus there was way too much emphasis on the bickering between the judges.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, I did however watch the UK and Aussie versions of "The Voice" and found them way more entertaining and fun to watch. Plus Tom Jones was a judge on the UK version so that made it a "Must Watch" for me.

I have no intention of watching this new season of the US version, I'm sure we'll get more stock contestants that will put me to sleep in no time.

the way they had to draw out the one girl contestant crying her eyes out, made me realize i'm done with that show.

like i say, the sad truth is a good singer is a dime a dozen....these shows distort reality.

I like to watch reality singing shows more for the songs themselves.

I use them to find songs to practice with.

I don't listen to radio or watch MTV at all.

I come across songs mostly from listening to Youtube covers or

hearing them on a reality singing show. I find a lot of

songs from past that I've never heard of but liked very much

(for ex, James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's Word" on "The Voice"

and "American Idol").

The only honest reality singing show with real talent ("The Sing-Off") was taken

off the air last year and replaced with another crappy reality singing show. :(
