Time for a revamp already? All four coaches on The Voice face the axe after failing 'to connect' with viewers
|
Jessie J, will.i.am, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue are allegedly at risk once the show finishes tomorrow night.
It is believed that BBC bosses have no choice but to do so after the first UK series of the talent show lost nearly seven million viewers.
At risk: will.i.am, Danny O'Donoghue, Jessie J and Tom Jones are said to be facing the axe from The Voice
According to the Daily Mirror, the famous four have 'failed to connect' with the audience and therefore the second series will need a revamp.
'We’ve already paid £22million for two years so there is no question of it being axed,' said a BBC source.
'But it seems unlikely any of the current coaches will be back. The viewers haven’t connected strongly enough with them.
'Failing to connect': The famous four have been described by viewers as being 'boring' and 'too predictable'
'The show got off to a fantastic start, but the fans got bored of the same ultra-positive and unbelievably nice comments every week, and viewing figures tumbled.'
It seems that viewers prefer to watch something less optimistic and this week spoke up about the mentors and their nice ways.
'Tom always says the same thing, it’s always about how he met Elvis or some other star, and he’s never critical even when the act is rubbish, which seems false,' one viewer wrote online.
Diva and a copycat: Staff admitted that Jessie J was too hard to get to while viewers felt that Danny always agreed with will.i.am
Other fans branded the foursome 'boring' and 'predictable' so it is unsure just how many will tune in to tomorrow's final.
But it's not just Tom that the British public have hit out at, as Danny as also been accused of being boring, with one viewer saying: 'He always just agrees with Will.'
Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am was accused of neglecting his acts after her flew back to the U.S. several times and Jessie J was apparently called 'a diva' by staff who found it hard to get near her.
Time to say goodbye? The BBC are said to be rethinking the line up for the second series
When the talent show first aired on March 24, the BBC were impressed after more than 11million people tuned in to watch. but by the semi-final this figure had fallen to 4.5million.
Following tomorrow night's finale, fans of the show will be wondering who may be brought in to front the second series next year.
Could she be next? The BBC are said to be considering singing sensation Adele as a possible new coach
