The producers of the Voice filter out the bad ones and the only ones who do the blind auditions before the judges are the ones who actually can sing and have talent, even the ones who don't get a judge to turn their chair. Unlike Idol and X-Factor that will put through the bad ones before the judges for comedy or whatever. I'm sorry but I was about to change the channel when during an audition episode of the X Factor when a guy flashed the audience. Or the one dude that Randy Jackson told to find people who liked hearing him sing. Why waste time on that crap? But anyway I'm looking forward to Idol this week as Hollywood week looks to be interesting.  I’d also like to point out that the way the Voice is set up we don’t get the ones who are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame or the delusional people who think they can sing.

The Voice - it is live and with back up musicians - Idol we have to wait until the final 24. Also one thing I definitely like  in The Voice is they allow the singers to finish the song whether it is good or bad instead of cutting them off too soon.  What I am trying to say is , it is hard to determine how good a singer is, if it is based only on a couple of bars and a few notes sang during the audition.  It can go either way, a really good singer( nervous ) can falter on the first few notes but settles down and do well, or a so so singer that managed to belt out a few good notes but was halted by the judges and given the golden paper and sent to Hollywood, then bust after. I know the potential number of would be contestants are huge, this is why the judges do this but what if you are hiring a vocalist for your band, would you  hire that person on a couple of  bars and a few good notes?  As a matter of fact we are already wondering what happened to a few good singers that did not made it to the final 24.  Sorry I am long winded today, LOL, 2 more items I like to add & then

What got my attention last night is there was one in particular who was not chosen and was a bit pitchy but instead of being insulted by the panel , was actually encouraged, given the reason why he was not chosen and was told to try again.  Self esteem intact he went about with his head high rather than feeling beaten up and made fun off by the panel.   While on Idol this habit of encouraging singers to make a fool of themselves on a regular basis is starting to annoy me.  Just a thought. Don't get me wrong folks, I still like Idol but a bit tired of the same old same old routine that they follow year after year, and franklly boredom finally sets in with me.  I should stay away from thinking, LOL.

I quite enjoyed it. The blind auditions is quite a nice clever hook unlike the Idol auditions which have become quite boring over the years. On Idol you've got the really good ones, the just ok ones, and the horrible ones. You knew who the judges were going to say yes or no to. The blind auditions on the voice leave for some kind of suspense as you don't know which judge is going to turn their chair. Well for Idol Hollywood week starts this week so and it looks pretty interesting so hopefully since Idol is finally going to show something other than an audition episode, and something that will produce a little drama so I'm looking forward to that.
