Sir Tom Jones confirmed as a coach on The Voice
Written by admin on December 8, 2011 – 5:53 pm -
| The BBC has confirmed that Sir Tom Jones will be among the coaches on The Voice talent show which will air on BBC One next spring. Tom’s fellow coaches will be The Script frontman Danny O’Donoghue, Jessie J and will.i.am. The show will be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates. |
 |
The objective of The Voice will be to seek out the nation’s best vocal talent, with a real emphasis on voice rather than image. Contestants will compete through three stages – blind auditions, battle rounds and the live performance.
Jones says:
| “I’m excited about The Voice, and thrilled to be participating as a Coach. This is a strong show; it’s all about talent — but it’s also exciting, competitive and compelling television. I’ve been blessed over the years to share the stage with some of the worlds finest artists, and I look forward to being part of the team that discovers a great, new, genuine talent.” |
Will Young was scheduled to appear as a coach on the show, but his place was taken by Danny O’Donoghue. Young told his Twitter followers “The voice came, the voice went. They wanted to go more rock…. Should have dusted off my Leather jacket! Hey ho.”
BBC One Controller, Danny Cohen, says:
| “I’m delighted to be announcing Tom Jones and Danny O’Donoghue as Coaches for The Voice. Tom is a music legend and will bring huge experience and creativity to the line-up. Danny is a rising star who will bring freshness and surprise to the team. Overall, our line-up of Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O’Donoghue gives us mega-star quality, great musical range and musicians we know our audience love.” |
Last month saw Sir Tom Jones named Wales’ Greatest Living National Treasure in a nationwide poll conducted by The EuroMillions’ Millionaire Raffle.
