    LOL

  13. Legendtina4life July 19, 2011

    H should pray this job works out because X Factor will be shitted on by The Voice:)

  14. RihannaNAVY July 19, 2011

    Please, the voice COPIED the mentoring system from Xfactor.
    Simon should be suing them.

  15. Legendtina4life July 19, 2011

    Umm every talent show has a mentoring system. American Idol mentors the winners and the finalist. Compared to the rest The Voice is original.

  16. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 19, 2011

    @RIHANNAnavy lol.And X Factor copied their whole format from American Idol.All they added was the band’s category, judge’s house and the coaches.The blind auditions on ‘The Voice’ is the most innovative and fresh thing in the talent shows department that has emerged in ages.

  17. Kerry Johnson July 19, 2011

    @RIHANNANAVY

    🙂 i will

  18. 502 Bad Gateway(Dollar$ign$kills) July 19, 2011

    Paula Abdul is like a talent contest competition show w**** lol.

    Hopefully LA Reid can bring Ciara back, she still one of my favs

  19. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 19, 2011

    I hope he’s going to take Ciara with him and give her enough attention and budget.
    I also hope that he won’t stop Usher from his “revolutionary pop” project.It’s most probably going to suck but I’m curious.

  20. RihannaNAVY July 19, 2011

    @ASAP
    Well, Xfactor & Idol are produced by the same group of people so it s all good. The Voice on the other hand …….

    @Kerry
    I’ll hold u to that pretty boy, Keep speaking the truth

    @Sam
    When are u gonna post the latest Beyonce’s number?
    It look like she fell all the way to #5 and her sales dropped another 40%.
    #5 BEYONCE 69,639 -40%
    She needs to release End Of Time. It is a good song.

  21. Kerry Johnson July 19, 2011

    @RIHANNANAVY

    roger that 🙂

  22. 502 Bad Gateway(Dollar$ign$kills) July 19, 2011

    The Voice>>>>the rest

  23. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 19, 2011

    @RIHANNAnavy It’s all the same format.Singers auditioning, choosing different songs every week until they’re eliminated etc etc etc.The Voice just took a common format that a hundread other shows/brands/networks use all over the globe, but it gave it a new spin, renewed it, made it more interesting and in the end, MADE IT BETTER

  24. Dale_23 July 19, 2011

  34. JUDAS666 July 20, 2011

    CAN WE SAY FRAUD [DOT] COM??? DUDE WAS OUSTED FROM ARISTA/SONY A DECADE AGO FOR FRAUD. I SEE A 2.0 COMING INTO HIS FUTURE. KARMA IS A BEEEYATCH!!!!!!

  35. Chocolate_Box777 July 20, 2011

    These companies & Label heads just go around & around & join together. Pretty soon there will only be one or two record labels. Just like Clive Davis was ousted. Then later made his own label that eventually was tied to the last label. Now Reid is doing the same thing…He has a good ear & eye for talent. Just don’t like what he did to my girl Janet Jackson…

  36. nice_gurl July 21, 2011

    Hope L.A Reid does have an ear for good talent. We need some talent and R&B back.
