What a refreshing concept! A TV show designed to unearth new singing talent allows the hopefuls to do a blind audition. The judges sit in high-backed chairs and can only see the contestants if they hit the I Want You button as they perform or wait until the end of the song. Those selected might have a choice of whom they want to coach them because all four judges can pitch the same performer. Just imagine singing for Christine Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee-lo Green, and Adam Levine and being selected by all of them.
I watched the show's premiere last week and found it pure entertainment, minus histrionics and hysteria. I vowed I wouldn't get hooked, but here I am writing about it after watching the first hour tonight. The scouts who find the talent have wowed the audiences, though some of the singers need refinement. Even those who aren't selected by a judge go away with some gentle feedback about their weaknesses. I could wax on further about the show's virtues, but readers can see it for themselves and see if they feel magic in the air.
Good night, all.
