“Forget everything you’ve heard about The Voice spelling the end of nasty talent shows. Those rumours were premature and, it turns out, ridiculously unfounded. Anyone who witnessed this weekend’s two-part battle round will have seen that The Voice has a heart as black as anything Simon Cowell has ever created…….But that’s not to say that battle round was an abject failure. It’s already helped to uncover some legitimately exciting talent in the form of Jaz Ellington, Becky Hill and Ruth Brown.”
“Hammond can consider herself unlucky to be eliminated, as can Scouse waiter Jay Norton, who lost out to angelic-voiced gospel crooner Jaz Ellington.”

The three singers have all been given odds of 8/1 to go on and win the show by bookmakers Ladbrokes, while Becky Hill is breathing down the trio’s neck at 12/1 and Vince Kidd is a decent punt at 14/1.
“The over-punctuated producer [will.i.am] was also was the last coach standing when the other three had filled their teams. He held his nerve admirably, meaning he snapped up the very last auditionee – soaring, gospel-tinged Jaz Ellington, who reduced two judges to tears with his acapella encore of Ordinary People, which provided a suitably emotional climax. Expect to see that song shoot up the download chart after its two airings tonight. -”
