SSD Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Sir Elton John has accused BBC One talent show The Voice of producing "nonentities". The veteran musician has often been a critic of TV talent shows in the past and has now blasted the poor track record of The Voice on both sides of the Atlantic. And Sir Elton said the contest - commissioned for a third series by the BBC - was more about the coaches than the contestants. His comments in an interview with Radio 4's Front Row programme come in the wake of last year's winner Leanne Mitchell suffering a sales disaster with her debut album. It peaked at number 134 in the album charts after selling fewer than 1,000 copies in its first week. And 2013 winner Andrea Begley only made it to number 30 at the weekend for her track My Immortal following her win. Sir Elton said: "The Voice is all about watching the judges, it is in America. Nobody on The Voice in America has had a hit record. Nobody on The Voice in England has had a hit record - they're nonentities." Sir Elton said: "Television and video have done a lot of damage to music. They've propelled people into stardom that aren't ready for it, you know, and it can't sustain it. And they're only as good as the next song. I hate that, I hate people being cast aside. It breaks my heart to see people like Michelle McManus who won Pop Star, whatever it was, but it's not fair." http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/03/elton-john-the-voice-nonentities_n_3541009.html? At least it's not me who thinks The Voice is a pile of sh*te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I do hate it, when ever I've seen it, it's a show off competition between Jessie Jealous, and Will I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 The Apprentice. Watched the interviews today and what a load of ****** it is, how did that Jordan even get to the final 5 when he wanted to offer a 15% stake in a company that's already running that he doesn't even own. The programme researchers didn't pick up on that then? Sugar tits will have already picked the winner before this all starts and throws in others for the "entertainment", same as X Factor puts through people that can't even sing. Idiots that's what they think we are, idiots. Well not me, can't fool me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
