Primetime Emmys 2013: Reality Check – ‘The Voice’ Knocks Off ‘The superb Race’

For the primary time since the creation of the simplest reality-competition class, a singing competition won the award tonight. The Voice — aka, the singing competition NBC bought once it lost the bidding war to urge Simon Cowell’s The X issue — became solely the second non-The superb Race series to win this class. CBS’ superb Race has won this lid ninefold. “We’re back on weekday. Keep us No. 1,” executive department producer Mark author blocked onstage, thanking NBC for “for taking a risk” once it bought the overseas format. “The Voice is like manufacturing associate awards show on the fly with large pyrotechnics and large effects,” author aforementioned backstage. He scoffed at any comparisons to Fox’s once-ratings-dominant singing competition, yankee Idol. “This may be a terribly completely different show. It’s a form show. There’s no humiliation within the Voice. Individuals aforementioned these styles of shows couldn’t work while not humiliation, and that’s not true.” author aforementioned he ne'er felt any real comparison to Idol was real.
