Doesn’t even need much of an explanation. The only problem with calling Justin Bieber out for posting up this kind of narcissistic crapola on Instagram (or anywhere) is that if he gets it in the neck, so should around 90 percent of all teenage internet users for doing exactly the same thing day after day after day. We’re fine with that.

Anyway, the caption for the below picture reads:

“You’ve been makin music for too long babe come cuddle” -her

After speaking to some of the contestants from last year’s The Voice, we heard froma couple of them that they don’t actually get that much one-on-one time with their appointed judges once the pre-recorded rounds are over. One of them even said that they didn’t think they’d had much more than an hour in total with them throughout the whole series.

At the time we thought it might just have been an overexaggeration, but it seems as if rather than an hour being the exception to the rule, it is in fact the norm. Here’s what a mystery source had to say to The Sun about this year’s comp:

“It’s a bit of a sham and very disheartening for anyone who has gone through the gruelling audition process and battle rounds and now finds they’re on their own until the judges return. 

The Voice is billed as a singing competition with personal tutoring from celebrities.But the truth is it was all filmed months ago on a very fast schedule and now the wannabes won’t see Tom, Danny, Will and Jessie again until just before the live shows.”

Unsurprisingly the Beeb denied the claims:

“It’s ridiculous to suggest the coaches haven’t spent enough time coaching their artists. Viewers will see as the shows progress all four spent a great deal of time with their acts.”

Honestly though, you’d be hard pressed to think there wasn’t something like this going on behind the scenes. With the exception of perhaps Tom, the Judges are all ego-driven fruitcakes, keener to hear their own voices than anyone else’s. It’s hardly surprising they supposedly don’t give a shit about the show – it’s basically just a PR exercise for them. After all, who the fuck listened to the Script before it first started?

We’ve got to say, however weird and obnoxious Simon Cowell is, he has a vested interest in the winner of X Factor and as such, wants the show to be as good as possible to promote them. Where’s that drive in The Voice? It doesn’t exist. And no matter how much happy-clappy ‘You’re the best thing I’ve ever heard’ bullshit the judges come up with on The Voice, it’s never going to be believable.
