On the 16th of March 2009, a company from Holland The Entertainment Group (Hol) reviews Roy Barry’s show titled ‘Voice of America’ lodged with the TV Writers Vault. Proof of this review can be found here.

The Entertainment Group (Hol) had two founders, Unico Glorie and Marco Borsato. Both these founders have a very strong relationship with John De Mol, the ‘creator’ of ‘The Voice of Holland’. Unico Glorie is a well known TV producer and is known for various TV shows including Big Brother a major hit of John de Mols. Marco Borsato is a well known singer in Holland and is now a judge on John de Mols show ‘Voice of Holland’.

The Entertainment Group (Hol) is no longer in business. The two owners of this company that reviewed Roy Barry’s show are not only very closely linked to John de Mol and Talpa Media, but one of them is now a judge on the ‘Voice of Holland’!!

Roy Barry has asked Talpa Media for proof of origin or any documentation for their show ‘Voice of Holland’ but they have refused and continue to do so.

On the 9-12th of July 2010, Talpa Media register the domain names www.voiceofholland.com and www.voiceofgermany.com, sixteen months after The Entertainment Group viewed Roy Barry’s show format. Talpa Media continued to purchase www.voiceofitaly.com and www.voiceofcanada.com. They could not purchase voiceofbritain.com as Roy Barry had already purchased it.
