I just Wiki-ed the show, apparently it started in the Netherlands (which would explain why we've had it longer)!

I was looking at the 1st season finale which was Jan 2011.
The dutch just love coming up with the reality shows don't they?

Ah ok. Well that does mean most of season 1 was in 2010 :p And yeah, Big Brother, Idol, etc all started in the Netherlands.

Currently catching up on The Voice UK on iPlayer that's a lot of attention for the judges at the start there (I couldn't care less for them...)

I'm loving how positive this show is so far but yeh gods I keep wanting the audience to shut up so we can hear the participants better.

Idol started in the Netherlands too??

Only thing I find odd with the Voice is how they are pushing already "established" artists, one performed with RoA, another is an internet sensation, his videos have had 2 million clicks. Don't they have Joe Bloggs from nowhere walking in?

Ah no I think I'm wrong, it was Starmaker that was before Idols, the same concept but for a band.

I agree that it's not really fair, but I guess they're not going to be turning these already (slightly) known people away as it means they can either attract an audience advertising they appear in the show and/or these participants are good enough to go through to the next round

its hard to get to the next level for some performers . lee mead gave up as an understudy for a chance to progress in Joseph I believe.
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
