It’s a uk show, like the X factor, the dancing celebrities, and the talent shows all sublet to other countries. They all changed the format to “make it their own”.

[@jerh5562]

Im very late to the party but I think hes the 1st person in the Voice that's like every performance is his own concert. I love love great singers but I am very grateful for him joining and winning the voice showing us and sharing his natural, definitely creative, unique, and uplifting talent which is something different for a change. You can tell from his family that music and dancing and singing is a normal, basic, natural, and spontaneous function that they do everyday just like breathing. He made it not just the voice anymore, he made it his platform in a very great, entertaining and refreshingly joyful way that brings a smile on your face while you feel like you're on a vacation on a beach somewhere just having a grand time just positive joyful vibes all over. Thank you!
