The Voice: The Platform of Talent

If there is something that America seems to enjoy, it is Reality TV.  One show that has taken off with the ratings and popularity is NBC's the Voice. This show is very similar to the once very favored American Idol. However, The Voice does some things a little different. One in particular are their judges.

  The judges of the Voice are not only reputable names, but musicians that are at the top of their genre. One the Voice, the judges are actually called "coaches." The coaches serve as mentors and aids to the singers competing for the prize, which is a recording contract. In season, NBC did not stall to find their judges. Veterans Adam Levine from Maroon 5 and 9 time CMA winner, Blake Shelton return to their red chairs, while newcomers Miley Cyrus and New York's very own Alicia Keys bring in their expertise to hopefully win the show. The Voice has demonstrated the consistency and anticipation through eleven seasons.

Being a country music fan, I am Team Blake all the way. However, I would love to see a new coach like Alicia Keys surprise the audience with a victory. Tell me what you think below!!!

Grammar Point: Adjectives

An adjective is a word or phrase that gives a description or names a certain attribute about a certain person, place, or thing. Adjectives are excellent descriptors for explaining how a certain thing or person performs. When describing a T.V. show, adjectives work very well. When I said the Voice judges have reputable names, this was describing the judges popularity and fame. Adjectives are a great way to explain how we perform in certain tasks.
