OMG, I just LOVE this guy! The Voice of Germany 2013 - Andreas Kümmert

[TorchTheWitch]

He does some of my favorite songs, too.

First in honor of Joe Cocker:

Another tune I've always loved:

And Rocketman! Woohoo!

Man, I would have so loved to have been there firing my Bic in the air!

1. the voice auditions

yeah he is a quality singer with a lot of "soul", not sure if there are many that make it through the auditions rounds on the voice usa or the voice uk that are like that, looking rough and different, on the more polished voice usa they all seem to look the same, polished teenage kids for the most part, which is fine for the voice kids, but when it comes to the seniors voice competition they could have more older or different people make it to the later stages of the competitions.

at least for variety, that is what they or the judges seem to allow a little bit more of on the voice germany then say the other big 3 with the voice usa, uk and australia which seem they aim to have a polished look over singing quality to there choices who gets through the auditions and later rounds.

2. new voice uk auditions and the new itv voice kids uk 2017 auditions announced

some good news for voice uk fans, there will be a new voice uk kids in 2017, with registration process starting now in 2016, at itv.com voice kids you can find the application forms, and not to forget the seniors like the soul full singer in the youtube videos from the first post in this thread, because the seniors or overs also returns.

this is with a new series and start in the uk though, because the voice is moving from bbc1 over to itv or channel 3 in the uk, so if you are stateside and want to watch the voice uk online next year, it won't be on the bbc iplayer, but now will be on the itv website player to watch online.

so the application forms for both the new voice kids and the overs are up online now in 2016 at itv.com website if you are in the uk and want to apply for the voice next year, but be quick cause registration is only open for so many months now.

but this has long been waited for a voice kids uk having had the seniors for a lot of years now, the voice kids on itv will be something new, if you are looking to apply i found a useful auditions guide here how to audition for the voice kids 2016 and 2017.

this should help anyone with some ideas on getting ready and being at there best as you need to put some work in to do well with these audition competitions.
