Kylie Minogue is basically a saint.
She tried to save this magnificent young singer called Jayde on The Voice last night, forcing us to love her even more. #TeamKylie.
(If you’re watching the reality TV show, you’re currently doing life correctly. If you didn’t watch it, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Read on.)
Last night saw an epic vocal battle between 19-year-old Jayde Grey and and 27-year-old Louise Van Veenendaal, who sung a rousing rendition of Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone.
It was entertaining in all kinds of ways but not really because of each singer’s actual ability. Just watch how this battle went down:
We really learned a lot: a) Kylie Minogue, 45, is the best kind of person with the best kind of giggle; b) Singing talent in a singing competition is somewhat overrated: if you are able to run around a stage in very high sparkly heels you will win everything; c) Judge/Black Eyed Peas Will.i.am values an ‘eccentric singer who bounces of ropes as if in a wrestling ring’ (Louise) more than a singer who is ‘in tune’ (Jayde). After the show aired and the ‘in tune singer’ Jayde was booted, she took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the show, saying simply:
Love how the voice shows everything that happens… Kylie tried to save me. Television makes me laugh. #thevoiceau — Jayde Grey (@Jayde_grey) May 26, 2014

I was at the taping. It was heavily edited but Louise was on key and Jayde was not entertaining. It is easy for people to say 'the blonde' but both these girls are performers, Jayde knows how to move but didn't and also Will takes into consideration their rehearsals etc. The song choice for both was bad. It is an awful song and Louise especially hated it. I say Will made the right choice and mamamia should be very very careful in future what they say. You summation is just as bad and you should really think about how professional you are as a journo. Not happy with this site now.
I was told it's all rigged but I hope not. I was told one singer wouldn't let them tell their story so they were told they were scrapped. I was also told the judges are given a note telling them who are to turn around before each singer comes onto the stage, let's hope this isn't true, does sound far fetched!
They read from notebooks before each blind audition happens. The majority of it is pre determined. I'm sure the producers even use their ability to override the public's vote.
