The Voice Wins Music Competition Series' Grammy Showdown
Quote:
NBC’s The Voice earned bragging rights tonight as all 4 of its musician coaches received Grammy nominations: 4 for Cee Lo Green, 2 each for Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera and one for Adam Levine’s band Maroon 5 (it is for the group’s collaboration with Aguilera Moves Like Jagger). In contrast, none of the judges of the other signing competition series, including The Voice‘s main rivals American Idol and The X Factor, landed a single nomination. The recent crop of American Idol contestants also failed to earn recognition though the series’ 2 best-selling alums, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson earned a nom each, as did another star of a reality competition, Susan Boyle of Simon Cowell’s Britain’s Got Talent.
The show has always been about the career of the judges and never the contestants.
Exactly.
In the matter of helping themselves they took about 99% of the pie that should have gone to the winner, who probably has below 1% of that since I doubt anyone could tell you who won.
Who wants to go on one of the million singing competition shows on the air when the prize is essentially nothing?
