    Totally fancy Pat Byrne after tonight!!

    I'm praying Bressie decides to reform the Blizzards and they play at some point!!

    The show tonight was the equivalent of father teds lovely girls competition versus miss world, father teds disco versus an all out rave, father teds fairground ladder versus funderland. You get the picture it was amateur in a comic way.

    First observation apart from the sound being ****e and probably linked to it is that a live band instead of a backing track makes for a wedding band karaoke style feel to proceedings. Yes the irony of trying to use real musicians not working out in a show like the voice is not lost on me.

    Most of the acts sounded poor but I really think that was the production more than the singing. Judges did not judge at all. It just felt wrong and below par on all levels.

    I expected a lot more tbh and I hope they consider doing away with the band or getting a more modern feeling setup to the band. Tonight's was not a rock / pop band at all. It was what you would expect to hear at a Vegas cabaret show.

    Still I will be watching next week :)

    The guys who did the sound I'd understand are called Observe Broadcasting Facilities; this group partake broadcasting which is set outside of a TV studio. There was done on previous musical talent shows like AITS, Fame and in the present day; the Voice of Ireland.

    The sound I'd agree was very poor tonight!

    I didn't notice the sound problems in AITS, didn't like that show but it wasn't down to the production. It was after all produced in a proper studio. It was certainly apparent on FAME and last night.

    Surprising to see the Battle rounds far better????

    Could have sworn I heard auto tune a couple of times! I just put it down to my wonky ear :S

    They must hear a totally different sound to what we hear, some of them sounded dire but got amazing feedback, what gives? I really liked Brian's fella, although I'm not exactly a Bieber fan, I liked what he did with the song.. :D

    I don't know if a lot of people here understand what autotune is.... There was none. The sound was bad.

    Agreed, her audition was good but her battle and last night weren't so great! Did think she was better than Gavin mind you.

    If sitting down with a guitar is what's impressing viewers of The Voice, the show's problems are much more grave than I thought...

    and I thought MrsD was the one with the scary memory Skid:)

    Am watching the voice a bit but Its a bit Meh or something. Last night I kept thinking for most acts, I preferred the one that was sent home in the previous week. The sing off duo type show. So I felt I knew nothing:)

    I liked the ginger guy with the weird facial expressions abit. THere seems to be a lot of acts still in it at this stage though

    Bressie gave out that the blizzards folded because of illegal downloads, that he made no money. The Blizzards folded because they were sh*t and the music had no staying power, and they had nothing really to say. Plenty of bands have survived and made money throughout the "illegal download" period. Wise up Bressie and just get on with it! Who knows, you might get another crack at it, and make some dollah next time around. I'm sure he's not short of a bob.......
    Why is he even on this show?

    I would imagine he meant that they realised no one was bothering to even illegally download their shite music so they just called it quits.

    Bressie has also been songwriting for other groups. This is one of his for new Girlband 'Fanfair', who have supported The Wanted. Incidentally, Fanfair feature Irish former X Factor Contestant, Roberta Howett (Blonde girl on the Right)

    Good luck with that. Most of the acts on the voice will be doing well if they're singing in the local pub in a few years time.
