Crap...because she isnt the prettiest  out there.....???
Have a look at Casey Chambers...very succesful country singer and in my opiniom....not very attractive at all.....
Beth Ditto also comes to mind....the lead singer from "Gossip"... have u seen her........
Any way.... i have enjoyed the show...some great talent and good songs

Was referring to her style of music, she isn't going to sing pop.

I also think she will make a career out of this, just not as the winner of The Voice

While i normally can't stand Reality TV Shows i must admit i have enjoyed The Voice and have been amazed at the quality of talant that we have out there. To me they are all winners regardless of who goes to the top tonight and i'm sure many of the contestants will get a call from a talent scout sometime in the near future.  :cup:

That Karise has a great voice.

This show craps on those like Idol and X Factor, purely for the talent.

I can't stand most reality shows but this one caught my attention and managed to keep it.

I HATE them with a passion that makes SBS and the ABC truely enjoyable.  Last night through some show about dancing celebreties, I watched a fantastic doco on bugs, followed by another on octopus and squid.  Fantastic!

If I wanted to watch people singing, I'd watch that show on Saturday AM's, where I hear they are also half naked. If I wanted to see people getting arrested or interrogated, I'd've become a cop or a lawyer or a judge.  If I wanted to see people dancing, I would join a class.  Likewise building reno's, cooking, shopping,

If I wanted to see half the crap they show on TV, I probably wouldn't enjoy camping so much!   :cup: 

I'm content to come here to MySwag and live vicariously through you guys for the best bits of these shows.  Thank goodness you aren't showing shorts of people dancing or doing reno's or I'd have to be just a wee bit worried.   ;D  Yep the girl can sing!  If she's good enough to make it, then she won't need "votes" ... she'll need a record deal.

I'm not a fan of the reality shows, but my wife is so I see them as I sit on the swag.

Karise is phenomenal. She reaches out of the TV with that voice.

Glad I was proved wrong by the voting public. Let's hope they do something great with her

If you hate the show do much why would you then open a thread about it to comment?

Like the show or not we have some of the best singers in the world GO Karise  :cup:

Estelle

There were many great performances during the show.

I felt Karise's 'encore' was the best performance of the whole show. Brilliant.

I'm not a fan of these shows, but we both loved The Voice. Entertainment plus.

Like many others i'm not normally a fan of these shows but i have sat and watched from the start with my daughter and we both enjoyed it very much.
I liked Karise from the start, daughter preferred sarah so she wasn't happy with the result.
The second series has a lot to do.

Interesting how people and the media confuse a talent competition with reality shows. The Voice is the former, not the latter. The Great Race is a reality show. The only talent on there is, well, there is none. See the difference?

Very pleased with Karises victory. I've never seen anyone with so much talent, who is so modest and unassuming.

The X Factor is starting soon and I think its going to be pretty lame after The Voice and the Judges on X Factor leave a lot to be desired, very hohum :-[ :-[ :-[

They better stop now.
The second serie can't never beat the first.
It was the same with Big Brother and all other shows. The first is always the best.

The downside of you choice, Lost, is that you have to get close enough to hear them. My choice would be either



or

Or turn the TV off, read a book etc

Well,
Have to say that I was inspired by some of the talent that appeareds from the Voice.

Go Karise, just love her style as well as the cute red head.

I for one am pretty glad that the younger (and middle ) generations have broadened their tastes in music from crap to a wide range of blues, rock and sole inspired new music. Bloody good on them, I don't feel like such an old fart, now I can go to blues music and there are young people (like me) there too.
