Scouting For Girls man wants Voice gig
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 7 September 2012
Hmm, is Scouting For Girls’ Roy Stride looking for a gig on the BBC’s slightly lacklustre ‘X-Factor’ competitor ‘The Voice’. Maybe he could be the one that’s not Tom, Will or Jesse on series two. Certainly Stride has been bigging up the BBC show and, more importantly, doing down its ITV rival.
He apparently told the Daily Star: “We’ve written songs for One Direction and Alexandra Burke but we reckon ‘The X Factor’ has had its day. There’s some good talent on the TV but it just doesn’t create real artists. The best music comes from people singing music which means something to them”.
He adds: “You have to buy into an artist and get a sense of feeling what they feel, rather than see someone good-looking singing someone else’s songs. The BBC’s ‘The Voice’ was more about the music. We’d love to be judges on that show”.
