The Voice contestant Matt Hetherington has spoken in support of his coach, Delta Goodrem, saying the singer-songwriter is "nurturing and supportive."

Meanwhile, Keith Urban, one of the three male coaches in The Voice, said what critics are saying against his fellow coach are all "white noise."

Since The Voice started ruling Aussie television's ratings game, Goodrem has been drawing quite a lot of criticisms from various parties. She has been criticized across all forms of media for the way she plays her role as coach in the singing show. Different social networks have also contained shout outs against Goodrem.

The words commonly used to desctibe Goodrem are patronising, bland and contrived. The manner in which she expresses her judgment is also slammed for having "all style and little substance."

A News Limited columnist wrote Goodrem comes to the show as an "expensive piece of tinsel decorating the coaches' panel."

In Goodrem's defense, Hetherington said the coach has shown him nothing but full support. He told the media he is "delighted" to be in Team Delta.

"She is very generous, encouraging, nurturing and supportive," he said.

In an interview prior to the launch of the live episodes of The Voice, Goodrem did not deny that the criticisms affect her, but she said:

"I have been around since I was a kid. I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am. I'm only here with the best intentions. I love music, I love the other artists. I'm thankful for what comes my way."

As far as one of her colleagues is concerned, Goodrem should not let all the flak bother her.

"Delta was telling me the other day about (all the criticisms), but I'm oblivious to it. It's really just white noise. That's all it is," Urban said.

The Voice has made positive records in the ratings this year, beating Australia's Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars and Masterchef.
