[1] Prudence Liew is the host for "The Voice", but the audience felt that she was trying to crack jokes by the things she said, but it was not funny at all. [2] Justin Lo, Edmond Leung, William So and Kary Ng were on "The Voice" as guest judges. TVB wanted to attract higher ratings by bring more Stars on the show, but because there were too many Stars, the audience felt that the camera focused too much on the Stars and not enough on the contestants. American Idol has become one of the greatest hits around the world and now even TVB and ATV joined in the battlefield. TVB's "The Voice" and ATV's "Asian Millionstar" have both broadcast 3 episodes each. With the increasing heated battle between the two shows, both shows present similar advantages and disadvantages. Audience said that the style was consistent, using so many Mandarin songs, Hong Kong stars are snatching the limelight from the contestants and highlighting that the Hong Kong Music Industry seem to be in a temporary shortage. Strange Phenomenon: Cantonese Songs are isolated Although the shows are held in Hong Kong, but not many contestants sang Cantonese songs, the majority of them sang Mandarin songs. The Cantonese songs sang were revolving around the same ones, such as Beyond and Jacky Cheung's old songs. Mandarin songs were used 80% of the time. The most popular Mandarin songs used were songs by Jay Chou and David Tao. Criticisms are often made to the contestants that they do not have their own style. The majority of Cantonese songs sang were mostly old songs, not many songs from the recent years. Is the Hong Kong Music Industry today really that bad, that even their own people aren't supporting?

yes finally people see prudence ... she is an evil witch i tell ya she bring people down then keep stamping on them so they cant come back up again ... she needs to take a hike and let a professional host take to the table.. like amigo ^^
Finally a place to talk about it. Seriously the host for "the voice" is terrible, she's really either trying to hard to lighten the mood with her humors which is not funny at all. Stuffs she said is kinda turns offensive and rude. They even tried to bring in a 2nd host to help her in ep04 which didn't help either, cause the 2nd host was a moron too. ATV's "Asian Million Star," hosts are great, we know these 2 can talk and they know what to do and say the right things. I don't know anyone that would disagree on which show has better hosts. Judges, are almost on par, but judges like Justin really aren't good enough to be judges, he sometimes can't collect all his thoughts together and say stuffs that can be confusing. I sometimes think, do some of these people have the merit to be judges. I like the stage and the setting in "The Voice" more, guess it's obvious since TVB is much more popular; with much more resources than ATV. Contestants on both shows are about the same, a few good ones. But I have to agree that these contestants are singing too much mandarin songs, even the judge at "T.M.S" said so. These shows are in HK and they need to sing more Cantonese songs, but I guess these guys just don't know the lyrics to the new songs.
^old ones are classics i watched one ep on TV & almost every time i guessed, i'm right, why can't i be the judge too? XD the host sucks for sure. i think the whole show is lame, the winner isn't gonna be as successful as the ones in American Idol, or whatever idk
Hong Kong industry died right after the era of the four Heavenly Kings, Eason is perhaps the only one of the few keeping it alive... but what was once a blazing inferno has now reduced itself into a candle burning in a stormy night. HK industry needs innovation... they can't cling onto the ballads that we keep hearing, they need to really explore new genres and bring something new for themselves.
I've said it from the first episode.. Prudence suckssss!! lol and duhhhhhhh, what did these people expect? I certainly didn't expect to be blown away by these people. I only watched the show to hear the songs be covered. Haha. Never got past episode 2.. Even with Justin in it (Justin fan) I can't bear to watch it. ATV's is even worse.. the contestants are horrible and the judges are way too easy on them.
That female host SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is de-motivating the contestants and she is even dissing the judges (example Justin) And worst of all, her jokes are not funny @ all................... And about the judges (not all of them), they letting people fay lo because *they* think the contestant didnt enjoy singing a song or didnt have the *feel*, WTH, isnt that a personal thingy? Ah well, cantonese music kinda sucks after 2006-2007,( there are some exceptions) Even the cantonese musicians are singing manderian songs/ or manderian versions of their cantonese songs. That explains all. Advice ---> ditch that female host
