    Fix The Voice: Problems & Solutions

    in The Voice (US)

    • Get rid of the video packages and sob stories! One 10 minute contestant segment could serve 2, even 3 contestants at a time. There's no excuse for what happened to Rebekah Samarin this season or any of the other montaged contestants in previous seasons.

     

    • If one coach's team is full in the blinds, have that coach be able to see the remaining performances like in season 1.

     

    • No more coach's save in playoffs or any of the live rounds. The coach is there to coach not to judge.

     

    • Montage the unsuccessful contestants.

     

    • No more putting steals in the last performance of the battle/knockout rounds. There needs to be some suspense otherwise there are no stakes involved since the audience knows that both will move on to the next round.

     

    • Get rid of coaches performances before top 12.

     

    • Get rid of Adam! He takes down my enjoyment of the show by several notches with his narcissism, arrogance and smarmy car salesman pitches.

     

    • Increase the winner's cheque to $500k. That will bring in some great talent.

     

    • Get Carson to cut the coach off when they're talking too much. Maximum 15 seconds.

     

    • Only allow two opposing coaches to comment on a performance. The contestant's own coach is not allowed to speak. This will increase strategy and there will be actual constructive criticism than fawning.

     

    • Allow America to select a wildcard contestant from the top 20. The brought back contestant can then choose their own coach for the remainder of the show.

    Ratings and Scheduling: Still More Numbers to Decipher

    in Person Of Interest [V]

    Woot! Great for the show. I'm glad we had a good number this week, because I'm sure the numbers for 3x10 will drop. A three week break SUCKS, especially because at least where I am, they didn't show any previews--I'm sure some people thought last night was the mid-season finale.

    Oh, it will happen. The question is by how much. Last year, POI had a 3 week break with Lethe and it dropped 2 tenths from The Devil's Share.

     

    The good news is that there will be no new episode of Chicago Fire, Forever or Sons of Anarchy. The only thing that will compete with POI should be The Voice finale but seeing its erosion this season, maybe POI only drops 1 tenth? Just hoping that it does not go down to series lows again.

    S07.E17: Live Playoffs Results

    in The Voice (US)

    · Edited by ppl

    Team Adam: Adam once again shows why he's the worst judge on The Voice. Though I like Chris, he should not have gotten through on that performance. He's pretty much cannon fodder at this point. Taylor Phelan should have went through by far.

     

    As for the rest of the team, I've hated all of Matt's performances and don't think he's interesting at all while Damien's a trick one pony who has a very good voice but does not know how to use it to the full extent. This is Adam's weakest live team ever.

     

    Team Gwen: I can't really get behind Taylor W. or Anita. Although Taylor has a nice voice, he's just so dead in the eyes that I can never fully commit to his voice. I don't think he's particularly original either. I liked Anita's blind but haven't liked anything since. Whenever she "reggaes" it up, I fast forward. I am not as flabbergasted or outraged about Gwen's decision as many others are. Ryan has a great voice and is good looking. If Gwen can bring out the performance and emotional sides of him more, he could be a threat. With that being said, I still would have chosen Ricky or Bryana.

     

    Team Pharrell: Happy with the audience vote. I'm hoping that Pharrell can make Luke a little more current because at this point I don't see him as the winner. Also, please tell him to stop swooping and hollering, thanks. If he wins, I'll be really happy though. I really like him and think he's immensely talented. Danica impressed me this week. Moving onto the coach save, on the one hand, I like Elyjuh's voice but on the other, I can't stand his mannerisms on stage and if Sugar can keep on singing like she did with the first verse of I Say A Little Prayer, she will do well. Just please tell her to stop shouting because it hurts my ears.

     

    Team Blake: I'm content with all of his team's choices. Go CWB.
