The Voice UK live show will move to Fridays

You have to admire The Voice for its willingness to draw a line under its feud with Britain's Got Talent. The BBC show will move to Friday nights in order to allow viewers to enjoy both shows. 

The news comes today in The Sun as the newspaper reports that The Voice will move its first live quarter final to Friday night on June 7. BBC decided to move the show to avoid a clash with Britain's Got Talent's live final, which will air on June 8. 

An insider on The Voice told The Sun: "The decision is in the best interest of viewers. Given the length of the quarter-final it would be impossible to avoid a clash."

While The Voice has been steadily increasing its ratings over the course of series two. Simon Cowell refuses to move BGT and seems determind to make viewers choose, The Voice has put the audience first which will be a winner with The Viewers. 

Danny O'Donoghue commented. "I think we are better than Britains got talent of course but why make the public suffer? Simon Cowell seems to want all out war but that isn't good for the people who like to watch. The BBC have put the viewer first, so what does that say about ITV and Simon Cowell? It speaks volumes in my book.

The next episode will see the conclusion of the Battle Rounds as Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue and Will.i.am fill the last spots on their teams

Liverpool’s Voice contestant reveals how Danny O’Donoghue gave them a much-needed boost

Danny’s a great coach say artists

SCOUSE Voice contestants today told how Danny O’Donoghue gave them the boost they needed and insisted they have the best coach.

Huyton wedding singer Laura Oakes and Tuebrook musician Paul Carden both won a place on Team Danny.

The pair now need to secure their place in the next round of the competition as the battle stages continue next weekend Saturday, May 25.

But they have already had a big reaction since appearing on the BBC One show.

Laura, 22, said: “I was singing at a wedding when it was on so I had to watch it back, but I got lots of phone calls and texts from my family saying how proud they were and that it went well. “I do solo acoustic gigs too and usually it’s background music, people don’t pay attention, but they were all sat facing me and watching.

“When it finished two Scousers came up to me wanting to have a picture taken with me. “I didn’t think that was going to happen.

Singer Dido was also on hand to help out Danny O’Donoghue in the Voice UK battle rounds. 

 

Paul was also cheered on by his proud mum who he said watched his blind audition back “a million times.”

He said: “I’m quite critical so I watched it back twice.

“I expected my friends to think I was selling out by doing something like that, but everyone was made up.

“I can’t wait to hear what I sounded like in the battle round because it’s bit of a blur.

“Getting on stage on primetime TV is priceless and Danny’s a great coach.

“Out of all the coaches he’s the most hands-on. We’re quite close in age so we’ve got a lot in common, apart from he’s got more money.”

The remaining artists, coached by Danny, Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am, feature in an extended battle show at 7.10pm on May 25.
