Voices Of Fire isn't quite as compelling a watch as we anticipated it to be. But, it also displays the amazing talent of a lot of great singers. Go to Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut 11/19/2020

01/14/2022 This was a very well done show. I'm desperately trying to find where I could watch the full gospel concert.. I will gladly buy one. Beautiful voices beautiful people what a wonderful thing on TV. See more 05/18/2021 I wanted to like this documentary. There are some interesting personal stories...... there are some (all too brief) compelling performances....... and there are interesting messages. In practise, the viewer hears glimpses of greatness from promising young soloists. And, viewers are "promised" the Choir of All Choirs. However, in the final analysis, the finale of VOICES OF FIRE was akin to being trapped in a cold dark cave with wildly screeching bats, each squealing in a fight for the death and threatening to chew off ones ears. The cacophony of sound in the finale -- singers singing flat, out of tune, over wrought vibratos, weak insipid voices that were clearly not ready for prime time etc --- was so painful I had to repeatedly turn the volume down to save my ears. As lover of the gospel music genre, I really really really wanted to see the individual and collective performance soar. Unfortunately the starpower of Pharrell William and the Dr Peggy Brit failed sprinkle the enough musical magic to save this gospelmentary from the trainweck that it is. #JustSayNo See more 11/30/2020 It was a nice show, but I was really disappointed with the final music mix of the concert on the last show. It made no sense to be a show about music and not to have a stellar mix. Could barely hear the band and especially I could barely hear the choir. What happened sound people? See more 11/21/2020 I am so in love with this show! EVERY person did their part. This show is something I didn't even realize I needed at a time such as this. This is a fresh take on reality voice competitions. The energy was different. The love of all things God sits with you while watching this show. It is so raw and real. I sang, I laughed, I cried, then I cried some more. This is an experience everyone should make time for! See more Read all reviews
