Richard Marx never stops being surprised about the quality of the Australian vocalists -it is why he said yes to the voice.
Singer / Songwriter Richard Marx has refused earlier overtures to participate in Zangal Talent Shows, to The Voice Australia reached.
The synergy of location and format won him. Marx, whose song Wait here Was a global hit, visited for the first time in Australia in 1977.
“I came here when I was 12. Every occasion I get in Australia, you have my attention. But I have been fascinated with the level of Zangent talent here for so long. Once I became a fan of Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Jon Stevens, Kate Ceberano and all these artists who did not know,” is something in the water? ” Everyone here sings well, “he says TV tonight.
“So the idea of coming and being exposed to, not only young rising singers, but also people who have been kicking around for a while who have not become stars but are just so gifted, that really appealed to me.”
Marx says that earlier invitations to become a member of talent shows were never the right feeling.
“I think I had my own personal reservations, depending on the show. There are certain shows that I think I have produced some real talented, exciting artists. But the process that I didn’t find my head of tea … people who are deliberately humiliated as part of the show,” he explains.
“At least in America The voice Has been a very successful show, but it has not produced so far what I would really call great artists in the United States. While people have been here who came from the show who did very well. “
I challenge him for the success of Voice Artists versus Australian idol And The X factorBut admit that the music landscape has shifted over the past two decades. Datum The voice Offers exposure, is it up to the artist what they do with it?
“I am not a believer that the winner of these things is necessarily everything, ending everything,” Marx replies.
“In America, one of the greatest careers that come from these kinds of reality shows are the Banddraghtry with Chris Daughtry, with whom I have worked together, and I am friends. He has not won. So there are people who are only part of the show, part of the process that have not really gained, just as there have been many winners that you never again?
“So for me it comes to person, based on a person. In my time I have already met a few artists that I really think I will not go at all. Not because they are not great, but because they just don’t tick all those boxes. But I think they are already doing you well.
In addition to Kate Miller-Heheidke and new, Marx coaches Voice Coaches Ronan Keating and Melanie Chisholm. Although the focus, at least for the blind auditions, is on aspiring singers, coaches are also expected to use the energy and friendly rivalry for the cameras.
“They never miss a chance to remind me that I am old,” he laughs. “Kate never succeeds in being Australian. Ronan never succeeds in being Australian. And Melanie always reminds us that she was a spice girl, as if she should,” he notes.
“We have this kind of fun, friendly excavations to each other, which is great … But we consider it to be champions. Because nobody hurts their feelings. We all just give shit and laugh.”
Now in his 14th Australian season, The voice Marx still widens the fascinating talent.
“One of the things I like about the size is that I have not seen anyone, not even in the blinds, which is terrible or not good or has no right to be there. Everyone is a level of above average. That is refreshing,” he adds.
“Even people who come there and get nervous and don’t do their best performance, they are still good. There are no train wrecks.”
