The Voice is the closest thing we are getting to a genuine singing competition and just look at how dull that's been so far, but the BBC don't have advertisers to please
Totally agree with this, the X is very staged but without all the staging and manipulation it would be a pretty poor show, never been able to watch the Voice beyond the first one or two shows.

The main issue with The Voice UK is that the contestants on it can't sing.

Who cares? I wanted her to win because she could sing.

Depends if it is any good. If I like the majority of songs on it then yes.

Doubt they can fix votes, but can make conditions favourable. Now that Sam B has won from Overs they can hand it back to Louis and continue to disregard it.

The fixing was the dated themed weeks eg 1980s, big band weeks. Who is old enough to remember the 1980s. Plus they kept changing her age she was 32 some weeks, other reprts had her at 36...

Fixing on XF is nothing new. Look at how it was rigged to get a Little Mix win. Louis and Tulisa making some bullsh*te story about Misha B being a bully. Pandering to the baser part of white viewers' pre conceived notion of a dark skinned black girl. Aggressive, bully, rude. When Misha landed in bottom 2, the damage was done (Leigh Anne Little Mix is pathetic) and Louis sheepishly admitted he was lying and Tulisha blowing a small row out off proportion and then Misha eventually went out.

Re Leona, she will need to changd her style to survive. Her live performance is just so unimaginative and female performers live or die by live shows. Unless she writes or receives Adele level songs she is doomed as a performer and artist. Uptempo songs sell and sell tickets. For every Stay, Rihanna has had to bring out a Rude Boy, Monster, Sos and Only Girl in the World. Leona is not attracting that many new fans. If she did something uptempo and modern, she'd get more attention for eventually doing a ballad. She also needs to get someone to chose her songs for her so far she's had the following slip out of her hands:

We found love - Calvin Harris to Rihanna
Burn - Ryan Tedder to Ellie Goulding
Halo - Tedder to Beyoncé.

Leona with Halo would've been brilliant I think.

And I can't even imagine her doing Burn.
