Season 12 of The Voice is upon is and it is starting with a 3 night Blind Auditions Premiere on Monday, February 27th, Tuesday, February 28th and Thursday, March 2nd. 

Wow – that’s a whole lot of singing and chair turning going on this week. I wonder if they are fast tracking this show for maximum ratings?   I guess we will find out. 

“There is a change in the coaching panel for the twelfth season. Coach Gwen Stefani will return to the panel after a two-season hiatus, replacing Miley Cyrus along with returning coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Alicia Keys while Carson Daly returns for his 12th season as host.”  Source: Wikipedia 

I will be on vacation until the end of March but will add a weekly blog topic for discussion per usual. 

And I did a little digging around and found out that Gwen is being a bit of a diva this season.  Let’s bring up the ratings and add a little drama, shall we?  This might blow up in their face if the producers’ are not careful.  I just want to hear the singers. I thought this is what the show was about?  Uh huh. Right. 

Anyway, the comments section is open for business. Looking forward to hearing about your favorite singers.

    A little less Gwen/Blake time and a little less interaction between the judges would suit me just fine. The show is too much about them and too little about the singers.

    The camaraderie between the coaches is one of the things that makes the show so good.

    I second that, David Cook Fan. The show is fun because of the light-hearted chemistry between them.

    I wouldn’t call them judges because their primary function is to mentor the new artists.

    I hate that these two ladies got montaged this week. One of them worked as a backup singer for Carrie Underwood.

    Celine Dion’s coaching as a guest mentor for team Alicia was a “Masterclass” in itself.
