The Voice doesn’t seem to care where you came from, or what you do, because they’re open to taking Idol rejects as long as you can sing. They seem to know what they want, and that’s not “singer-songwriter types or divas.” So basically that means anyone who’s going to compete on Bravo‘s new summer show Platinum Hit need not apply.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the show didn’t hold a stadium open cattle call, rather they went for something more specific. Mark Burnett said, “The Voice is looking for individual singers that are ARTISTS, preferably no singer-songwriters or divas…We got plenty of both, so that didn’t work…It doesn’t matter where you came from. If you won American Idol and you wanted to try this, too, you could.”

I can’t wait to see (or rather hear) their pool of talent. In a way it’s kind of good that they’re more specific with who they have on the show, so they won’t have useless weeks of mediocrity just to milk episodes. Plus, it’s great that the judges have their backs turned, so the contestants won’t have to look at Christina Aguilera’s hideous dye job.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    So this show has four judges? What is the point? And they don’t want singer songwriters or divas? How will they know who is a diva prior? Am I missing something? Is this gonna be viewer based, or viewer and judges? What do they get if they win? Have I just been blacking out every time they try to hawk this crap? Is X-tina fat or just preparing herself for the next mass flooding? So many questions, so little actual interest….
