Falling in love with Joel Madden was never something that I had ever thought about, truth be known I wasn’t really that sure who he was. I knew something about Good Charlotte and the fact that he had a twin brother called Benji, but I never knew how emotional he was. And how kind. Guess I never knew that about Seal or Keith Urban either. Delta I suspected was kind but last night was the night I fell in love with Joel.
I’m talking of course about The Voice the new reality show from Channel Nine that last night had 2.5 million viewers spellbound.
The concept of The Voice is pretty simple. Four ‘superstar musician coaches’ (Delta Goodrem, Seal, Keith Urban and Joel Madden) select teams of twelve artists based solely on hearing that artist perform – there are no visual cues.
During the auditions the coaches sit with their backs to the artist, if a coach likes what they hear, they push a button to select the artist for their team of competitors, (they’ll need to select 12 acts in total). As they push the button their chair swivels so that they are facing the artists they have selected. If more than one coach selects the artist, it gets really interesting because instead of the coach judging the artist, the artist needs to choose from the coaches, judging which one he/she thinks will serve them best.
It makes for pretty gripping, emotional TV. Especially when they have acts like this:
So far, it’s only been two nights, Keith Urban, Seal and Joel Madden have taken on four artists. Delta just one.
And you know what’s pretty damn great? You can watch the show with your whole family and there is very little chance that your child will want to start messing, er I mean cooking in your kitchen.
Did you watch The Voice?

What a load of rubbish. Force fed stars who more than likely will fade into obscurity when the next batch of sensational, amazing, talented, 2 minute superstars arrive to boost network profits. Sure everyone can sing but they are being used then sent to pasture once past their use by dates. Which is why I never support this abuse of naive artists by watching this rubbish.
I totally get the "Delta Bashing". On here. It's not quite "tall poppy syndrome" as her career has been "quiet" of late. My 9yo daughter is so preoccupied by Deltas "posing" in the chair and finds it so fake and contrived. I can't understand why someone as tall as her is wearing heels as high as those that she clearly can't walk in! Her logies performance was vocally not great and she seemed so caught we up in her appearComplete Sleeperrance and stance. She's a stunning woman who needs to relax!
