408th Review: Fantastic new talent show: positive, different, and just wow
3 May 2011
Who would have thought it was even remotely possible to come up with a new singing show after ten years of Idol, Talent and others. But, in the viewer's opinion,The Voice was a stunning reboot for the genre.

THe idea for this singing show couldn't be simpler: the judges don't get to see the contestants they listen to them first, and boy does that make for good viewing. The four judges are obviously enjoying themselves and this is a very well-done professional production that will be interesting to see once the auditions over and we get to the knockout rounds whether it reverts to a more gladiatorial approach.

The show emphasizes that the judges are coaches here to help the contestants rather than simply "judge" them.

All in all, we loved the first show; it is a real breath of fresh air, and here's hoping it lives up to this fantastic start!
