Me and my students usually surf youtube when we get bored coz there's nothing much to talk about and search for some funny commercial Such was the case this morning and I noticed a couple of interesting ones today.It's Super Bowl XLVI in the United States and as usual, commercials are going neck to neck to compete for the attention of the millions of Americans who watch the best attended professional domestic sports league in the world measured by average attendance per game.
One which caught my attention is the the super bowl commercial of THE VOICE -----the reality singing competition in the US.Here, celebrity coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert, Cee Lo Green and Blake Sheldon Smack Down in a fashionable manner. I love Christina Aguilera's tricks here.She could very well give Cameron Diaz a run for the money as a Kill Bill main act....
PRESS RELEASE
The ante is certainly upped in terms of the diversity and quality of the contestants this season, with Aguilera bagging ‘everything from an opera singer, powerhouse MC to soul singers’ on her team. What is interesting is that savvy contestants who are in demand now know how to play the game, and have taken the opportunity to push the coaches a little further and wrangle for commitment to be kept for a few rounds.
Season 1’s contestants have done well for themselves so far; winner Javier Colon has released a new album in collaboration with Natasha Bedingfield and his coach, Adam Levine, while first runner-up Dia Frampton has also launched her album with the help of coach Blake Shelton. Other contestants – Beverly McClellan from Team Aguilera and Vicci Martinez from Team Cee Lo have also begun recording after the show ended.
Talent-spotting aside, be sure to keep an eye out for new songs from the coaches themselves! After all, Season 1 was the launchpad for Shelton’s ‘Honey Bee’, a country chart-topper, as well as the Maroon 5-Aguilera single ‘Moves Like Jagger’ which hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 list. And as Aguilera teased, look out for the ‘kickass’ opening performance by the coaches this season!
Be sure to tune in to AXN-Asia starting February 6!!!!

And yeah, I just remembered thanks to this commercial that the VOICE Season 2 airs today in the US and we are lucky here in Asia coz AXN-Asia will be broadcasting it within 24hours of US airing.This season, show producer Mark Burnett has added more rounds of blind auditions and each of the coaches’ teams will be expanded to 12 singers each.
