Louis Walsh has once again launched an attack on The Voice, just weeks before he returns to The X Factor judging panel.

The Irish star is nothing if not loyal and as he prepares for his tenth year on the ITV show, he hit out at it’s biggest rival and insisted that it can’t produce stars like his Simon Cowell led juggernaut.

The Voice’s Leanne Mitchell admits she doesn’t hear from Tom Jones and just wants a ‘fair chance’

Leanne Mitchell triumphed on The Voice last year, beating Bo Bruce to the Universal record deal, however the time in between the first series and second has hardly been ideal for the wannabe star.

The 29 year old singer is preparing to release her debut album on 27th May but she’s understandably nervous, after her first single ‘Run To You’ didn’t exactly set the charts on fire, selling just 7,000 copies last June and reaching number 45 in the UK single chart.

Fans of BBC’s The Voice will know that last year – in the show’s first series – singer Leanne Mitchell won and great things were of course expected of her career after the show ended…

However, for what seem to be a multitude of reasons, Leanne’s post-show popularity waned and her career effectively flopped.

And it’s been reported today that The Voice coach Will.i.am blames Leanne for the fact that the show “failed” to ignite the viewer ratings last year. Read more & comment »

The Voice 2013: Last year’s winner Leanne Mitchell earns a living singing at birthday parties!

Fans of The Voice will know that last year’s winner Leanne Mitchell has had a less than auspicious start to her career in music since she left the show victorious last year…

And just recently, we reported that an insider at the BBC had claimed that Leanne’s career had failed to take off because she “didn’t work as hard” as fellow 2012 finalists Bo Bruce and Tyler James, and even blamed Leanne for affecting the show’s viewer ratings last year, branding her a “poor advertisement” for the singing contest.

And though those remarks were without doubt harsh, the evidence would tend to somewhat back them up as it’s been reported today that Leanne is making a modest living by performing at birthday parties and other low-key gigs. Read more & comment »

The Voice 2013: Show insider says of last year’s “lazy” winner Leanne Mitchell, “She hasn’t been the best advert for the show”

Fans of The Voice will know that singer Leanne Mitchell – who was on Team Sir Tom Jones last year – won the 2012 debut series, however, her career post-The Voice has been less than salubrious…

And according to a show insider, that’s because she “failed to work as hard” as her fellow finalists Bo Bruce and Tyler James, and wasn’t “the best advert for the show.”

The scathing remarks were printed in today’s Daily Mail, and the article – or so it seems to me anyway – intimates that the ‘source’ may be from within Leanne’s own management team… Read more & comment »

As fans of The Voice will know, Leanne Mitchell won last year’s premiere series, and went on to be signed up by record label Universal…

However, her debut single Run to You only managed to get to No45 in the charts, which coach Will.i.am reportedly reckons was the fault of the label for not handling Leanne’s career in an appropriate manner.

He said, “I don’t think people were considering today’s behaviour and how we digest content. It was television five years ago… Read more & comment »
