The Voice is not that bad. Read full review

Newsday - Verne Gay

May 2, 2011

While you're left to wonder why these four stars need a reality show, or why the contestants never truly made it in the first place, "The Voice" should remain a solid performer for NBC--which it so very badly needs. Read full review

Hitfix - Dan Fienberg

The Voice delivered an entertaining two hours, far more tightly packed than any "Idol" audition episode for years, though that's an unfair comparison. Read full review

The Voice (NBC) is a horrifically entertaining vocal competition produced by Mark Burnett. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Ken Tucker

Apr 29, 2011

From its amusement-park-ride chairs to its cluttered concept, The Voice was a garish bore over two hours on Tuesday night--it was less about the strenuous voices of the singers than the yammering voices of its celebrity "coaches." Read full review

Variety - Brian Lowry

By the time it was over, all I could think was: See no more of "The Voice." Hear no more of "The Voice." And after Tuesday, no reason to speak any longer about "The Voice." Read full review

Boston Herald - Mark A. Perigard

As The Voice made loud and clear, there's not enough talent to go around. Read full review

I love the voice's format.
It is a refreshing thing in the television right now and since I really hated this shows rival on Fox, I find it very nice that NBC has something greater to offer
Looking forward to the LIVE SHOOOOOOOOOOOWS!

I think this show is better than American idol because it does not judge you by the way you may look they judge you by the way you sing and also it is a competition between the finalists but also between the judges which is different than other shows and much better which is great. In thisI think this show is better than American idol because it does not judge you by the way you may look they judge you by the way you sing and also it is a competition between the finalists but also between the judges which is different than other shows and much better which is great. In this show they help you find the voice within and bring out the best you inside to out . another good thing is that you get to determine your future you get to pick which coach , that has pushed the button , you think would be the better career field 4 you ; that fits into your vision of what type of singer you what to be and that you think will open you up and take you far in this business:)… Expand

A refreshing take on and tired old formula. American Idol has become a dull bore, in steps "The Voice" to take its place.

If you are sick of American Idol and you want something that feels more fresh and almost gameshow-like, check out "The Voice". You wont be disappointed.… Expand

I love the charisma of the judges, its very true. I also love how the format of the show stayed true to its title, which is entirely judged on the voice of a contestant. A great singing competition that can be matched very well with its other rival shows......

The judges are the highlight, and each of them has a unique personality and chemistry with each other. Unfortunately, these contestants have impeccable singing voices, but aren't good singers.

Unfortunately, these contestants have impeccable singing voices, but aren't good singers. What i mean by that can only be described by music. Julian Casablancas does not have a good voice. He is a terrific singer. Same with Jo **** John Lennon, etc. The contestants are all much too radio friendly, and none of them really push the bar vocally. Instead of hard hitting songs such as Tom Petty's American Girl or Led Zeppelins "Dazed and Confused", we instead have songs like "im yours' By jason Mraz. Thats not exactly a bad thing, but america needs to learn the difference between singing and SINGING.… Expand
