  • Boy George 'Kindly' Takes Pay Cut for 'The Voice Australia' New Season

    Channel Seven

    The Culture Club frontman has been officially signed on to return as a judge on the next installment of the Australian singing competition after he offered to take pay cut.
    Oct 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Boy George apparently agreed to a pay cut from Australia’s Channel Nine in order to secure a spot on the coaching panel of “The Voice Australia”.
    The show is in the midst of a shake-up after Channel Seven purchased the rights to the franchise, with plans for a more “cost-effective” show reportedly involving replacing current coaches George, Kelly Rowland, Delta Goodrem, and Guy Sebastian with less expensive talent.
    Amid reports “Dance Monkey” star Tones and I and Aussie singer Ricki-Lee Coulter are set to join the show, the Culture Club frontman tweeted on Wednesday (07Oct20) that he’d “kindly” agreed to a pay cut in order to secure a spot on the coaching panel in 2021.
    However that agreement was nixed when Seven purchased the rights to the franchise in August and the show switched networks, he has suggested.

    “Truth is, I kindly took a pay cut from @TheVoiceAU because of the corona. I am also decent, and they agreed to have me next season,” the British singer tweeted.
    “If I had known they would swap networks I still would have taken a financial hit because I’m decent and I never burn bridges!”
    The Culture Club singer did not confirm or deny whether he’ll return to the franchise. He previously slammed reports he’d been “dumped” from the show in favour of “cheaper” coach, New Zealand singer Lorde.
    Meanwhile, fellow judge Delta Goodrem recently said, “I genuinely don’t know what the next chapter is.” She continued, “Every season, at the end of (The Voice), I take stock of the year. I go, ‘How do I feel as an artist about this next chapter? What do I want for my next chapter?’ I’m truly taking it step by step (this year).”

  • Delta Goodrem Fuels Rumors of 'The Voice Australia' Firing

    WENN

    The ‘Wings’ singer adds fuel to the rumors that she is leaving ‘The Voice Australia’ as she claims that she ‘genuinely doesn’t know what the next chapter is.’
    Oct 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Delta Goodrem has failed to deny rumours she’s been axed from “The Voice Australia” amid speculation that the show’s only original coach is set to step away from her iconic red chair.
    The “Solid Gold” star’s future on the show’s coaching panel has been in question since Australia’s Channel Seven acquired the franchise from Nine earlier this year (20).
    During an appearance on “The Kyle And Jackie O Show” on Thursday (01Oct20), Goodrem, who joined “The Voice” nine years ago, confessed, “I genuinely don’t know what the next chapter is.”
    Hinting that her future on the show is still undecided, Delta continued, “Every season, at the end of (The Voice), I take stock of the year. I go, ‘How do I feel as an artist about this next chapter? What do I want for my next chapter?’ ”

    She added, “I’m truly taking it step by step (this year).”
    However, later in the interview, Delta suggested that she may indeed have departed the franchise by insisting that she’s currently enjoying focusing on her own creative pursuits.
    “I’m really loving making my own music,” the “ost Without You” hitmaker, who is set to release a new album before the end of 2020, explained. “There’s so many layers to every decision I ever make, I’ve been in the industry my whole life.”
    Her comments come amid reports of a “salary conflict” with network officials, with The Daily Telegraph newspaper also reporting that bosses at Channel Seven are set to axe coaches Boy George and Kelly Rowland as part of a cost-cutting measure.
    Local stars Lorde and The Veronicas are among those who have been rumoured to be joining the programme.

    Producers behind the singing competition series are reportedly planning to replace Kelly Rowland and Boy George for the 2021 edition after a drop in ratings and issues relating to COVID-19.
    Jul 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Keith Urban and Kylie Minogue are reportedly being eyed for a spot on “The Voice” Australia panel, as producers plot a judging shake-up for the 2021 edition.
    Executives of the singing series, which features Guy Sebastian and Delta Goodrem as coaches, are apparently planning to replace American singer Kelly Rowland and British icon Boy George with Australian stars Keith and Kylie.
    According to New Idea, a drop in ratings and issues relating to COVID-19 have plagued the current series, with Kelly and George forced to mentor their contestants virtually amid the pandemic, as they remain at home overseas.
    An insider added, “I think they will try and reinvent themselves with two new Aussie judges and use ‘All Aussie Voice’ as a tagline for 2021.”
    Keith, 52, was one of the original coaches on the show’s debut series in 2012, with the source confirming the star “is top of their list as he was loved the first time around.”
    Meanwhile, “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” hitmaker Kylie, 52, has also had experience on the show, serving as a judge on season three of “The Voice UK”, and replacing Delta during her one-season hiatus in 2014.
