I say, at this early stage, The Voice. But I reserve the right to change my mind... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yay.gif)

I happened catch the last few minutes. Can someone explain it to me - the selected singers get to choose who they want as their 'mentor' - they then have the choice of Tom Jones - or some non-entities[1] - if its about 'The Voice' - why would any of them choose anyone else from the available set of mentors?


[1] Maybe they're not non-entities, but I recognised none of them, and could name none of them.

The contestants can only choose a mentor from those who turned to face them while they sang. So, in theory, Tom may be unavailable. In practice, it seemed to usually be the case that if one turned, then at least 2 other mentors did too.

We watched The Voice and then switched channels for the end of BGT. Like Cyrilla we liked the Welsh choir. I'm surprised nobody's yet expressed an opinion on the young "Pavarotti" and friend..

I was just very moved by the sight of so many boys/young men absolutely LOVING singing and performing with such heart. Loved them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) .

Yes, the big chap had certainly got an amazing voice for a 17 year old - I just hope they don't spoil it by grabbing him and making him do stuff too young...SC was (of course) really horrible about the poor girl and I thought the boy was very gallant. She must have gone off and cried..
