For the fifth week of “The Voice” UK, there were times when it literally felt as though there were almost a million different singers trying out for the show. It felt like in order to justify the 80-minute run time, the producers had to shift in a number of bad acts for a few seconds […]
It may be hard to believe, but somehow, the blind auditions are still happening on “The Voice” UK. It may be due to the fact that we’ve become so conditioned to the blind auditions in the American version getting three hours a week of air time, but it does feel almost as though this round […]
As we near the end of the blind auditions on “The Voice” UK, the producers have still found a way to keep some great singers in their back pocket. At least three performers during Saturday’s episode have a decent shot at going far in the competition, and while there were a good many singers in […]
On Saturday evening in the United Kingdom, “The Voice” UK is going to be back on the air with a new episode … albeit a little bit later than usual. What’s going on here? Basically, the show is trying to be smart in their thinking that there is probably no way that they can consistently […]

We particularly enjoyed some of the stories: there weren’t many of the “boo hoo” variety, and instead just some pretty tales about singing with Michael Buble, recording one of Meat Loaf’s biggest […]
Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
As much as we’ve groaned here at times over “The Voice” being put up directly against “American Idol” or “The X Factor,” none of this is as groan-inducing as what we’ve seen British TV networks do in the past year when it comes to “Britain’s Got Talent” versus “The Voice” UK. Last year, Simon Cowell […]
Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
In news that surely must be making Simon Cowell jump up and down with “Glee,” he managed to defeat the premiere of “The Voice” UK on Saturday, even though he was not even airing one of his own flagship series against it. Instead, an appearance by the “X Factor” creator and music mogul on the […]
“The Voice” UK is back in action!
