as I think she is awful and don't get why everyone rates her.

She does that Cranberry hiccup too much. They're all crap on The Voice, the prog has died a death.

The thing with Ruth is why hasn't anyone told her?! These supposedly clever judges and not one of them gave her any constructive advice about it or even picked up on it even though we - the viewers - saw it. Come to think of it, they haven't said much at all apart from some annoying token phrases like riff, rolls, ra, ra, ra. They have been rubbish. I like Tom Jones but he should have nipped Ruth's bizarre new way of singing in the bud and told her to sing clearly and properly. I agree that Ruth thought she had it in the bag. She needs to take a step back and learn how to put her voice out there properly And then she will be one of the best singers out there.

Did anyone else get a bit weirded out when jazz sang that Bruno mars song with a ginormous picture of him staring at his wife in the background? Not a flattering pic n frankly a bit cringe worthy

cocolepew · 28/05/2012 08:30

Ruth hasn't said anything about Leanne personally but is re-tweeting any negative comments about her on her Twitter page.

2shoes · 28/05/2012 09:03

I prefer Leanne's voice to Ruth's only cos it is clearer, I could not understand what Ruth was singing.
I like Vince,
Bo was good saturday, but she seems to be unable to sing any thing different, every thing she sings sounds the same.

MrsBucketxx · 28/05/2012 09:11

i like her although she looks like a bush baby with those mahoosive eyes.

i think she might win too.

mummymeister · 28/05/2012 09:14

i dont like her voice she sounds auto tuned in parts. Not sure how old she is but those massive eyes and the way she presents herself works for teenagers but not on someone a bit older. sorry cant really say anything positive about the whole package here at all. did like Jazz but he was never going to win because he isnt what the market wants - young thin and shallow. whoever wins will we really remember them this time next year? will there be a second series of the voice?

Nancy66 · 28/05/2012 09:22

I think she's the best of a bad bunch - although I wouldn't want to listen to a whole album of it

Rodea · 28/05/2012 09:35

Ipswichwitch-I am so glad it isn't just me that thought that about Jaz and the cringeworthy wife serenading episode.
I understand that you're recently married,and I understand your wife is pregnant and I'm sure to you that is the most exciting thing in the whole world-but to everyone watching it's really not that interesting.
It's changed my view of him as I loved his blind audition but I can't get past that awful cheesy song,which is such a shame ad he has such a beautiful voice.
Rant over.

Rodea · 28/05/2012 09:38

To answer the op-bo?
No really don't get it,she can't sing,she can't hold a note,she can't project her voice,she breathely swoons her way through safe sings that can tolerate that kind of singing.
Please God she doesn't win as she really isn't 'the voice'
And if she does,well where is Diana vickers now.....

Clawdy · 28/05/2012 09:39

Pity Ruth couldn't lose graciously. Could hardly bring herself to hug Leanne,and walked off with face like a slapped arse. Whoever advised her about clothes,hair and makeup did her no favours either. Looking like Ella Fitzgerald when you're a teenager is not a good thing...unless you can sing like Ella,which she certainly can't.

NoMoreMarbles · 28/05/2012 09:41

I don't mind Bo's voice so much but I wouldn't pay for an album of hers...

I hate Vince tho' he's irritating!!! I didn't like Ruth either! She sang that song on Saturday like she was in a race to the death and murdered it til it was dead!! Awful!!

I like Leanne's voice and feel bad for her as Tom was so very disappointed when she got through... It was all over his face! Sad poor girl!

Not too bothered either way about Tyler either to be honest! Not a big fan of squealy male singers either so he's not really up my street... Though there's something about him and I fear he would get it HARD Wink

TheFoosa · 28/05/2012 09:46

I thought that all the better singers had been voted out

personally I loved Becky's voice but I understand that people didn't like her personality

ipswichwitch · 28/05/2012 09:46

Grin rodea couldnt have put it better myself!!

lunamoon · 28/05/2012 09:55

I thought my tv was going to explode with Ruth's SHOUTING and warbling.
Remember: Just because you can hit the high notes does not mean it is pleasant to hear someone persistantly holding a very high note just for the sake of it.
Jazz has no x factor, good voice but not enough excitment to float my boat.
Bo-yes she is Princess Di, come back to haunt Charles and Camilla.

Nancy66 · 28/05/2012 10:02

I also thought Ruth was a bad loser. Shame.

Becky is much more talented than Vince - i can't watch him and his sweaty pits.

JeezyPeeps · 28/05/2012 15:13

Wow, is Ruth really retweeting tweets that slag off Leanne? That's dreadful. Thats the kind of attitude that will win her no favours in teh music indiustry.

Maybe she needs to have some success before she starts acting like a diva...

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/05/2012 16:43

MsPaperback

Agree again. I felt like I was watching something they weren't when she performed that song "Next to Me". Her pronunciation and facial expressions were just bizarre. She slaughtered the song (in a bad way). And Tom Jones is old school. He should know all about phrasing etc. She also did not sing on the beat. Rhythm all over the place. She needs a lot of guidance to use that great voice wisely.

MrsBethel · 28/05/2012 16:55

+1 weird phrasing, and way too much gurning.

Re Bo: if someone came on and basically did an impression of any other artist, they'd be told to get knotted; but if you copy the Cranberries, it's fine... huh?

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/05/2012 17:44

Maybe it's deemed Ok because only us oldies remember the cranberries. Ellie Golding is in a similar vein
