Watching an interesting singing competition




I was looking over the tv programme to see what I wanted to watch during this Easter break. I came across this singing competition called the Voice of Finland. It is a new kind of programme that takes places in several countries such as the USA and it has the same idea behind it as Idols or X-factor but I think it's much better. To begin with it's not all about the looks unlike these other programmes mentioned before. Everything is about the voice. There are four mentors which themselves are famous musicians who represent a different genre of music: country, R&B, pop and rock for instance. These star mentors chose their team without seing the contestants but they have to judge if they are good enough by the voice. This means that the winner of this competition might not be the future Miss Universum but has a voice worth 1000 times more than the looks. Also usually the people who try out for this competition already have some experience in singing, have done concerts and so on unlike the 8-year-olds who show up at the auditions in X-factor. I was especially interested in this years show because one of the contestants is a singing teacher my sister had the pleasure to be taught by at one summer camp. She sang wonderfully, she has a very warm voice which in the same time is very strong, she reaches very high notes but also low keys. She is just very talented.
