Who won Let It Shine season 1? We’ve got the answer for you below, and also our final verdict of the BBC One series as a whole… Going into the finale, there were three different groups all vying for the opportunity to star in the Take That inspired musical, which equates to a year-long job. It’s a […]
Tonight on BBC One, the final episode of Let It Shine is coming on the air, and with that, we’ve come to the point in the journey where we ask another important question. Should this mark the end of the road for the series? Should there be a Let It Shine season 2? If you think back to the […]
Middle rounds of singing competitions are always pretty listless. They’re that one part of the season where nobody ever quite knows what to do. Some producers have tried their best to come up with interesting twists, while others have really tried to emphasize drama more so than the contestants. Personally, we think that the best […]
We started it recently that “Let It Shine” is the far superior show at the moment to “The Voice UK,” and this is an opinion that we’re not backing down from. While the latter show may have a moderately entertaining start in the Blind Auditions, it is once that is over that we start to […]
Tonight, “Let It Shine” completed on the BBC the business of narrowing down their field of prospective contestants following the audition rounds, and now we’re going to be seeing the series transition into something more fitting of what the show is actually about: Group performances.

Are you ready to get more of “Let It Shine“? Through the first two episodes, we’ve found this an incredibly entertaining entry in the singing-show pantheon. We don’t quite care if the judges are too nice or if there are people auditioning for this show with more musical theater experience. What really matters most is […]
One of the more bizarre decisions that we’ve seen from British television is the one to throw “Let It Shine” up against “The Voice UK” on the same night, hoping that the two shows could somehow find a way to coexist against each other. They’re proving that they can, but we do easily see that […]
Last week, “Let It Shine” got off to a good start on BBC One by showing that this is not your ordinary “X Factor” clone — while it may be a singing competition, at the same exact time there’s such an interesting musical theater background to this show, as well. It’s fitting that Amber Riley […]
Last week, the BBC formally debuted a new series in “Let It Shine” that creatively felt like a mixed bag. The great thing about it was largely that it was a fresh take on what’s becoming an outdated genre. It’s nice to know specifically what the contestants are working for, and we get the sense […]
