On the side of it the two shows sound as though have very similar formats: People audition, the judges are assigned a grouping of successful auditionees, the auditionees are so whittled down by the judges and then finally those that remain compete for the public vote in live shows.
The Voice however has a bit of differences on the way, some may promise them gimmicks while others could indicate that theyre there to see only the most talented contestants make it through.
First up are the auditions, which take rank with the auditionee singing to the judges backs (hence the list The Voice). Judges who are concerned in a singer press their buzzer which turns their chair around. If no judges are interested than that singer goes no further. Of course whilst we are told that the singers are being judged merely on their voice, just wish The X Factor and any other reality show the contestants that do it this far have already been done numerous producer auditions to be selected.
The following interesting difference betwixt The Voice and The X Factor is in the allotment of the contestants to judges. Unlike The X Factor, where contestants are split into seemingly arbitrary groups (Over 28s), in The Voice any contestant can join each judges team. Furthermore, the contestants get to determine and the decision takes place during their audition! Successful contestants can pick which of the judges that buzzed to brace up with.
This leads but to more active and rivalry between the panel, with the judges having to betray themselves as the better option for the hopefuls.
Next comes the battle rounds where the judges whittle the acts in their teams down to 4 to get through to the last shows. In a rather cheesy set comprising of a giant wrestling ring, which wouldnt look too out of space on Sing If You Can, the contestants have sing-offs with others in their family as the judges choose who to carry through to the live finals.
Once each judge has their finalists its onto the last shows, where the format continues to differ somewhat from The X Factor. Instead of any act being able to leave, one from each team is eliminated at a time, leaving a grand finale with four contestants and each judge represented.
So is this any better than The X Factor? One of the key limitations of the formatting is the want of groups, although with those notoriously unsuccessful on The X Factor its perhaps not too much of a loss. That said there doesnt seem to be too often amiss with allowing groups to enter, and so with one act from each category making it to the last it may make them more trust than on the rival ITV1 show.
The biggest problem for the point really is that as often as it puts stress on all being around the voice, with the net issue being decided by the viewers its ultimately going to be many other factorsincluding looksthat decide the success of the show.
Big names_ The Voice panel in the US
Whether or not it will be a success, let alone be capable to carry on The X Factor, will most certainly fall downward to the option of judges. In the states the gore is made up of worldwide famous artistsincluding Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green. The UK panel will want to catch up, but unfortunately our choice of worldwide talent is fairly limited. If we see Cheryl Cole on the present then the whole pretence of being near The Voice goes out of the window.
Unfortunately for the BBC the new series comes as The X Factor launches its new panel, not simply a refreshing change but also one full of real talent for once. Theres Take That front man Gary Barlow who has singing and vocal writing credits longer than ex-judge Cheryls hair. Kelly Rowland, a brilliant dance singer who was partly of a girl group that saw success Girls Aloud could only dream of. Then theres Tulisa, a controversial choice but definitely a young talented girl, who hopefully should be capable to get a different sort of medicine to the show, coming from Hip Hop group N-Dubz.
With rumoured judges for The Voice including Robbie Williams, Dannii Minogue and hosts such as Dermot OLeary, the Beeb is leaving to want to make certain to contain the broadcast from belief like a X Factor rip off. The series will need young, fresh and ultimately talented panellists. The idea of Adele excites us, with names like Jessie J and Plan B also sounding like better ideas than washed up stars of the 90s.
More than 20 million viewers tuned into The X Factor over the preceding two years so theres no question that our television watching nation has a hunger for this sentence of show, the head is whether The Voice can establish itself with a unique enough line up not to get across as a 2nd rate Simon Cowell wannabe production.
