The Script's frontman, Danny O'Donoghue, has implied that the winner of the debut British season of 'The Voice UK' was the wrong contestant.

In an interview with Gigwise, the 'Man Who Can't Be Moved' star explained that Leanne Mitchell had a fantastic talent, but will probably struggle entertaining an arena full of people and wasn't the best singer from a 'technical' perspective:

"She wasn't on my team so I can't feel that much disappointment. She won the show, you know, in the final she was technically the best singer. Was she technically the best artist? No. But that's just my opinion."

"She was definitely the best singer on the night, but it was unfortunate that other people didn't get a look in, ones that would have suited pop music better."

He went on to add that some of the contestants that got voted off earlier on would have been great as the next big thing in pop music:

"She's got an amazing voice, but I couldn't see her exciting 80,000 people for an hour and a half. There were people like that on the show, but they got voted off, and it's quite hard."
