Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones came close to joining BBC ‘talent’ show The Voice, but decided to withdraw as talks progressed.
Speaking to MTV, Stereophonics front man Kelly Jones revealed he entered early discussions with the show’s bosses with a view to signing up as a judge, but ‘bottled it’ when things started to get more serious. The place on the swiveling chair eventually went to Danny O’Donoghue of The Script.
“I had a couple of chats with some people and once they asked me back for the third chat I realised they were serious and I bottled it,” Jones explains.
“It took between January and June of your year away and we’re happy just as being a band, I mean we watch it on a Saturday nights.
Danny took the job and he was a damn good judge all the right stuff, funny, straight to the point at times, making all the ladies swoon and lastly being a bloody annoying git at times. That is what makes a good judge and I don’t think I’d be that comfortable judging other people.

Look at The Script now though! It could have gone either way for them, now everyone knows who they are and Danny managed to get their music heard by a much wider audience, full credit to him. I have to say though he has made a good decision to leave now and concentrate on The Script, people know who they are and now they will show the world what they are made of.
