Re: BELGIUM 2013
I personally don't mind talent shows partipants, some of them are talented but what I don't like are talent shows to determine a ESC winner (like Germany was doing it for the last few years)
Well, some of them are technically vocally talent but that's about it. Most of these people (ESPECIALLY from The Voice) have very generic and unoriginal voices even to begin with.
But my most concern is that there's no artistry. I want artists, people with an actual sound and image and career, something that makes them stand out atleast somewhat. With these ex- talent shows participants there's nothing to judge them on only the voice, but that doesn't say much since I'm here for the music. With actual artists you have a backcatalog of songs to judge from, to have some sort of idea what type of entry this could end up like. Considering this is from The Voice, you can already tell it's gonna be a wailing ballad... but I hope it won't be something too predictable. I'm not against the idea of a ballad, but it better have some character then.
