"The Voice" Raises To Two Nights Per Week

[DToTheJ]

Next month, "The Voice" will have a second airing per week, in the form of a "one-hour live elimination round."

Gee, where have I heard this before? Oh, that's right - "Idol" and "DWTS" use the same format.

Is "The Voice" ripping off the "mentor" gimmick from "Idol" yet?

Damn! The best part about "the Voice" was that it only aired one night a week and didn't involve a two night commitment. If I wanted the overwrought drama, I'd watch "Idol".

I tried to watch "The Voice" and just found it.. boring. The talent is nowhere near as good as Idol or X Factor.
The judges on "The Voice" don't know how to offer criticism to anyone. Primarily because they've never been in a position of trying to pick talent in their jobs. They are just singers, that's all. That's kind of the a pitfall for the Idol judges, except for Randy Jackson.

Suffice to say, it's highly unlikely "The Voice" will last a decade like Idol has. I give Idol a decent shot at being around a decade from now.

I seriously wonder if Simon Cowell could sue NBC for copying "Idol" in such blatant fashion. And I thought "Got Talent" was an "Idol" clone - "The Voice" is worse!
