Before Chris Blue won, you could reliably pick the winners by watching and keeping track of their relative results on i-Tunes- this suddenly changed with Chris Blue, and after Keyes had made the same charge about Blake Shelton's singer's win in the Fall of 2016.<br /><br />Shelton and Levine do have an advantage over the other coaches in that they have been with the show for the entire run and are the biggest draw for the audiences themselves, but that is life in show business, so I don't really consider that unfair.Yancey Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427042729449397357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48794224115043727952018-03-13T18:53:55.900-05:002018-03-13T18:53:55.900-05:00My problem with The Voice is that there was no joy...My problem with The Voice is that there was no joy in the singers.

I thought the JLo era was actually a great improvement, but the ratings slide just proves I’m in the minority, I guess. (And then there was that Minaj/Carey disaster.) I like the Voice formula better — the laughs spring from the faux-competition among the judges and are mostly not directed at contestants, deluded or otherwise.
