I love watching the Voice, really I do.
It’s a TV reality competition that originated in the United
States of America and features some of my best celebrities judges and coaches. On
the show you would see award winning singers like Shakira (I can’t get enough
of watching her), Pharell Williams, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine and
Christian Aguilera amongst others. I enjoy the fact that I get to see these celebrities
not just when they are featuring in their own videos but in a more structured
setting. They argue, laugh and generally behave like us normal human beings.

The idea behind The Voice is the goal finding previously
undiscovered singing talent from across the country. They could be solo or
duets and are chosen from publicly aired auditions. The winner gets US $100,000
and a also gets a record deal with popular recording companies like Universal
Music Group and Universal Republic Records.
This show is a hit. The chosen celebrities act as coaches to
the contestants and try to make sure that someone from their team wins the
competition. This makes for a lot of ups and downs, laughs and tears that keep
one glued to the TV. The show has different levels also called “rounds” like
the Battle Rounds, The Knockout Rounds and the Instant Save (introduced in
season 5).
Sometimes it’s heartbreaking to watch these young (and not
so young) people sing their hearts out and get evicted eventually. It’s like
their dreams are being crushed. The musical renditions though are simply
electrifying and superb, they leave me at the edge of my seat and sometimes
even shouting in anger and surprise when my favorite act is evicted!
However, it looks like there is every there is every
possibility that would not be happening for me today for one single reason, my
Samsung TV is faulty.
I have had the TV for just 6 months now and it literally
scared the hell out of me last weekend as it came on by itself late at night. I
called one of the TV repair companies I could find here in New Mexico, Albuquerque
to be precise and was bluntly told to call Samsung as it was still under
manufacturer’s warranty and I did that. It was fixed and all seemed ok for a
while till today just when I was getting ready to watch The Voice!
Now when I try to change the channel by pressing channel up
or down it keeps going down continuously. I was able to reset the TV and turned
it off for a while and all seemed to be good again. I eagerly watched the clock
counting the seconds for The Voice to come up and just a few minute before it was
due to start the volume and sound options don’t work at all. What good is it watching
a musical TV show when I can’t hear what’s happening? I have called up Samsung
again and a lady is trying to connect me with the repairs unit.
Am biting my nails in anxiety and anger right now, and can’t
put in words what I am feeling as I feel down in the dumps. It’s almost like I
am right there on stage competing and have just been evicted from the
competition because I suspect that by the time I am connected and able to
explain the problem maybe a large part if not all of the show would be
finished. I can only sit and watch the images in misery with no sound coming
out.
