Not convinced,- but it could be interesting. If Jesse J didn't annoy me intensely...

Lose yourself man (with the girlfriend who didnt make it) was called Max

Well I quite enjoyed it, missed the start but thought there were some talented singers and enjoyed the concept. I thought William came across best, really surprised more people didn't pick him to be their coach, as his success with Black Eyed Peas worldwide is surely impressive, plus all his producing etc. Jesse was mad and a bit emotional OTT but ok, Danny is eye candy obv. I actually thought I would love sir Tom but all his "I'm a legend, I am" stuff got a bit annoying, tone it down Tom we know you had a zillion hits half a century ago already, chill.
Think rocket man dicky bow and blond floppy hair serious with guitar young chaps will do well.

Yes. Sorry. Very tired.

Adam sang Somethingy-Something by Stereophonics.

Maybe Tomorrow.

I agree, I too thought B.U.A would be the first choice of most, but I was obviously wrong.
I'd pick him anyway, I thought he was funny and I liked it that he could laugh at himself for jumping the gun when he thought guitar man was picking him.

Fuzzywuzzywozabear · 24/03/2012 22:17

Ooh I love will.i.am but I've seem him mentoring on American idol and thought he was great then - we kept shouting pick will.I.am!! The one that picked Tom instead of Will is a knob

Voidka · 24/03/2012 22:18

You Tube man was called Ben Kelly.

cocolepew · 24/03/2012 22:27

I hate X Favour et al but loved this, I liked the judges banter.

Hat Man Max was my favourite, Twinniwwinnie was dire.

I so would Danny..........

SuePurblybilt · 24/03/2012 22:29

Yiz all better get in line

Twinniewinnie wtf. What did she do? She kept harping on about looks being important in her profession.

cocolepew · 24/03/2012 22:38

twinniewinnielou, did she think she was being held back because of her great beauty Hmm, and not her shit singing voice?

Does everyone wear false eyelashes these days?

DoUntoOtters · 24/03/2012 22:39

They seem to, even if they're not on the telly.

I really liked this, and loathe things like the X Factor with a passion - now that's contrived bollocks! I'm hoping this will be more like that other BBC one, where they were in a kind of stage school all week and had lessons and stuff?

Anyway, yes, I liked the judges fighting with each other to get the acts - funny!

And as much as I have yet to forgive Will.I.Am for Cheryl Cole, I was pretty shocked that so many people didn't jump at the chance to work with him! I mean, he's a super producer like Timbaland and that guy from NER*D - he's done SO much music for other people, produced so many major badass albums for huge people, from U2, John Legend, Macy Gray, Mick Jagger, Usher, Rhianna, Micheal Jackson - say what you want about him, but you can't deny that resume. Why would you not leap at that chance to be produced by someone like him?

Tom Jones - another impressive resume (Elvis??) but I feel like he just likes the big baritones/Shirley Bassey types and would turn you into him?

Cannot stand Jessie J - I hate her over-inflated, not-effortless rude girl urban schtick and really dislike her over-enunciated singing. Plus I feel like they should have had another girl there? Most of the girls might go with her if they feel like she can relate to them.

Danny - seemed nice enough but his dancing irritated me a little, all that hand-waving.

Hahahaha!

CuriousMama · 25/03/2012 13:39

Really enjoyed this. Agree JJ was a tad annoying but she's young and dp says she looks like me so have to like her. Although to be fair I'm 43 so maybe dd? Wink

Liked Hat guy who mashed the song. Was a bit glad girlfriend didn't get through as she'd said she may not support bf? He was all for supporting her though.

Shame it'll come down to looks/image in the end. So it won't really be about the voice only?

And as a bonus I had a mucky dream about me and Tom Shock Woke up in a sweat Blush

gregssausageroll · 25/03/2012 15:41

Can anyone explain to me? I missed it last night so have just watched a couple of clips on you tube. Why do they hesitate in turning round. It is all as if they are waiting on someone else turning first and the rest are hovering over the button to turn.

Does something happen if you are first to turn round.

antlerqueen · 25/03/2012 18:15

I'm a bit of a fan of the US Voice, mainly because they have eyecandy for judges :) The country guy has really beautiful eyes. Ok. Derailing.

The reason they hesitate in turning around is they have a set amount of numbers (10 i think for the UK series) they can have on their team, so they have to be really sure they want that person on the team.

carabos · 25/03/2012 19:16

Tuned in to this halfway through. Loved Tom as he's totally sending himself up, loved Will as he's so clever and funny, loved JJ as she just doesn't give one and looks the mutts and loved Danny Who cos he's gorgeous, even if less well known than most of the contestants.

Didn't understand why red haired screechy girl would sing a JJ song Nd then not choose JJ as mentor Confused seems a bit rude. Didn't understand why Hat Boy would do a mix that screamed Will.i.am and then choose the unknown Danny. No doubt we'll get the hang of it over the coming weeks.

SunflowersSmile · 25/03/2012 19:53

So no one agrees with me that JJ looks like Hilary Devey from Dragons Den?
She does you know! Grin.

CuriousMama · 25/03/2012 19:58

No JJ doesn't look like HD. They both have a fringe but that's it Grin Wish I had HD's cash mind you.

Checking in for next week's show...

I have never watched X factor/BGT etc - doesn't appeal, hate the humiliation of talentless, naive dreamers but really enjoyed this!

As with others though will i am was v.funny and loved his stories, thought TJ was so cool and was sending himself up slightly. JJ was slightly annoying but suspect this may be to overcome being in WIA and TJ prescence. Spend half the night trying to work out who Danny is, none the wiser now knowing he's in the scripts (do they get played on Radio 2? Blush) but cute and keen.

Am looking forward to next week's show.

Hat boy the best last night IMO.

forehead · 25/03/2012 20:55

I thought that Will I Am was hilarious. He is obviously
a very intelligent man. Definitely better than X Factor
I love the banter.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 25/03/2012 21:08

Really like Will I am. It's a good show.
