‘The Voice’ UK: Paul McCartney ‘Lined Up For New ITV Series’

All I can do is make a "sigh" or whatever you call it...Paul is a Rock GOD and if he decides to do it he will make it fun...The only reason I see him agreeing to do it is becuz he's just bored and wanna try the Reality Shit like everybody else....Reality TV is cheap and it's here to stay for a very long time...

Not only is reality TV cheap, but there's very little "reality" involved, especially in shows like X-Factor and The Voice.

Well that is debatable...I mean, you do get weeks/months of clips of the contestants on their journey along with meeting their families...The classic Star Search NEVER showed behind the-scenes footage, it was straight "performance" and nothing more.....Networks are about Ratings and they want the Voting-Viewers to get to know the Contestants. Contest shows do belong in the Reality TV Genre....

I can tell you for a fact that the X-Factor is full of shit. They had us do different takes on things that were supposed to be "real" conversations. Not to mention the scripted responses to interview questions...

I've only seen clips of the X-Factor but a friend of mine Loved it...Did you walk away from the experience with regrets?

Paul McCartney: 'I Was Depressed' After Beatles Split'
By Jon Blistein May 24, 2016

Paul McCartney recalled his heavy drinking and depression after the Beatles broke up in 1970 during a candid interview on BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes.

"I was depressed at the time," McCartney said, before paraphrasing Lesley Gore's "It's My Party": "'You would be too if it happened to you.' You were breaking from your lifelong friends. We used to liken it to the army where you'd been army buddies for a few years, and now you weren't going to see them again."

McCartney then referenced another song — the barbershop standard, "Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine" — and said the Beatles' split came somewhat naturally, as the four members grew up, got married and moved away from each other. But the break-up still left McCartney uncertain about his future in music.

"The thing was, how are you gonna do it if you're gonna do it?" McCartney said. "You can't play all the instruments yourself onstage. And I took to the bevvies, I took to a wee dram, and it was great at first and then after a while getting up in the morning, I was a bit far gone and suddenly I wasn't having a good time."

McCartney said it was his wife Linda who convinced him to start a new project. "For some mad reason I wanted to go back to square one and do it as we'd done it in the Beatles. People said, 'Linda can't play keyboards!' And it was true, but John [Lennon] couldn't play guitar when we started — he was playing banjo chords … Looking back on it I'm really glad we did it. I could've just gone into a supergroup and rung up Eric [Clapton] and Jimmy Page, John Bonham, but I wanted to go back. We ended up playing universities and graduated to town halls, and it was funny because I'd been in Shea Stadium quite recently. You had to hold your nerve, but then you do in life."

In the Mastertapes interview, McCartney spoke about Kanye West's 2015 hit "All Day," which recycled an unused Beatles melody originally inspired by Pablo Picasso's painting, Man With a Guitar. While McCartney said the explicit lyrics of "All Day" troubled some close to him, he called it "a great record, sonically it's brilliant," and added: "I love Kanye, and he loves me. He's a monster, he's a crazy guy who comes up with great stuff, so he inspires me."

Paul McCartney Wishes The Beatles Were Sampled More In Hip-Hop
Hot 107.5

When Danger Mouse released The Grey Album, a mash-up of The Beatles self-titled 1968 album, also known as The White Album, with Jay-Z’s 2003 album The Black Album, the Beatles’ record label, EMI, put a stop to its distribution because none of the samples of the Fab Four’s work had been cleared. It turns out that EMI was the only one that had a problem with the wildly popular project.

“I didn’t mind… The Grey Album,” The Beatles’ Paul McCartney says in an upcoming BBC Radio 1 documentary. “But the thing was the record company minded. They didn’t like that and they put up a bit of a fuss. But it was like, take it easy guys, it’s a tribute.”

McCartney says he feels that sampling The Beatles in hip-hop and dance music is only fair, since the band admittedly borrowed heavily from their influences. “It was really cool when hip-hop started, you would hear references in lyrics, you always felt honoured,” McCartney says. “It’s exactly what we did in the beginning – introducing black soul music to a mass white audience. It’s come full circle, it’s well cool. When you hear a riff similar to your own, your first feeling is ‘rip-off’. After you’ve got over it you think, look at that, someone’s noticed that riff.”
