Axed Voice UK singers Matt & Sueleen have paid tribute to the BBC One talent show, claiming that it will "pave the way for much more variations of music on TV".
The duo, who departed The Voice on Sunday night, admitted that they had previously never dreamed of appearing on a reality series because they didn't believe they would be able to express themselves properly on a show like The X Factor.
"This show let us give something of who we are, which is a great thing. We'd never have dreamt of going on any other talent show," Sueleen told Digital Spy.
"We didn't want to go down the TV route and be exposed in a certain way, but this show has turned that on its head. It's been incredibly positive. Everyone behind the scenes has been great, it's been a wonderful show to work on.
"Hopefully this will pave the way for much more variations of music on TV and I'm really looking forward to seeing it all."
The 34-year-old singer from Canterbury added: "Going forward we really want to go gigging. We want to do the festival circuit in Europe and America. We want to start working and use this momentum.
"We want to get out and do our thing. Gigging is our thing."
