13 things to NOT like about ‘The Voice of the Philippines’

1. Sarah Geronimo sure is making the show interesting with her brand of cuteness but we’re still not over the fact how she was chosen over other more qualified performers out there.

2. It’s already been weeks and Lea’s neck is still covered and Apl’s hairy pits are still exposed. Costume change, anyone?

3. As if two Gonzagas weren’t enough (yes, we’re looking at you, Toni and Alex), there’s Robi Domingo pa. One lang, okay na!

4. We know the staff are just making it interesting for us viewers, but we’re kinda tired of contestants performing in the dark just because we need to be “surprised” about the fact that they’re a foreigner, they sound good but look ugly, or they sound bad but they look gorgeous.

5. There are times when someone like Lea Salonga, who is up THERE, turns her chair for contestants  who make us go, “Eh magaling pa’ko dyan, eh.”

6. Lots of commercials but hey, they ARE needed.

7. No offense to those who have had mainstream experience/success but their experience and success sure are advantages in some way, which kind of makes it unfair to those who are first-time joiners who have no experience in the industry at all.

8. It’s kinda sad how obvious Sarah feels a little insecure being there, with how she sounds like a fan of the other coaches sometimes, or how she’s extra courteous or how she doesn’t put up a fight sometimes, like she doesn’t deserve to be picked by the contestant over Lea or the others. Fight, Sarah, fight!

9. The fact that the Saturday and Sunday editions are on at different times (9pm on Saturdays, 8:15pm on Sundays). Made us miss the Sunday edition a couple of times.

10. Once or twice is all right, but we don’t need the coaches singing along with the contestants or singing along parts of the song to demonstrate the “right way to do it.”

11. This applies to not just the PH edition and isn’t entirely the fault of the show and the producers, but we hate how in the end, since it’s a contest where the winner is chosen by the voting public, The Face can win over The Voice.

12. Sob stories. Still.

13. The fact that the coaches can’t re-turn their chair in case they regret their decision. We’d love to see a four chairs-turner who ends up not being picked by anyone.
