Is it me or is it a load of depressing shite!
We put TV on 15 min ago and honestly I've had to turn it off.

Really wish Jools would call it a day too 😩 the same old mates (Ruby Turner, Jim Moir and Tom Jones ) and the same old bloody music. Boring as hell.

Agreed. DH keeps waxing lyrical about how wonderful it is. Can't stand Jools and his mates.

I really like New York as a song, but agree with the clearing the throat comment upthread.

It's also rather cold for bikinis round here tonight.

AnyFucker · 01/01/2021 00:40

I think Sophie Ellis Bextor would have filled this slot maginificently

CoffeeCoffeeTea · 01/01/2021 00:40

And now jools Holland has Tom Jones singing whispering grass . I thought things were to get better in 2021

Starshapedclub have done an online 90s indie disco which has been fabulous. I had itv wait n for the bongs and sure enough the subtitles stated "bong" for each one so we didn't miss much having the tv on mute

I thought Alicia Keys was really dull and agree that Sophie Ellis Bextor would have been far more fun

Fistycuffs · 01/01/2021 00:42

Whaaat?! Are you insane? She’s amazing. We watched ALL the shite tv tonight then she really made my night. But I’ve always loved her x

Cantaloupeisland · 01/01/2021 00:43

Roisin Murphy doing Let's Dance sounded like a slightly drunk karaoke singer mumbling away, awful!

Alternista · 01/01/2021 00:44

ITV brought in the new year with the most depressing broadcasting I’ve ever seen 😂

user1471565182 · 01/01/2021 00:44

Completely bizarre. This has been the BBC 'pulling out all the stops' supposedly. Who TF has cared about Alicia Keys in this country for about a decade? just why?

Katjolo · 01/01/2021 00:44

Alicia Keys did a great job.

HollyGenneroMcClane · 01/01/2021 00:45

Some of you must be hammered as Alicia Keyes sounded awful. It was flat.

YouKnowItsTrue · 01/01/2021 00:45

Agree it was dull as

She was on Graham Norton tonight
user1471565182 · 01/01/2021 00:45

She actually isnt that great a singer. She goes off key even in the recorded version of that New York song.

AnyFucker · 01/01/2021 00:46

We should start a petition to get shut of the tired old Jools Holland. I'm sure he is perfectly nice in RL but he has to go now, and I expect this yearly gig has paid his mortgage

Bring on Sophie Ellis Bextor. She could dance and sing upbeat disco in a sparkly catsuit while her kids mill around with ice cream on their head and her lovely husband twiddles the knobs in his studio. Perfect.

bingowingsmcgee · 01/01/2021 00:46

She sounded poorly to me.

bingowingsmcgee · 01/01/2021 00:48

Yeah Roisin Murphy sure killed that song. I don't get her take on it at all.

Ah I love Ruby Turner and the music is great.

TheRealHousewife · 01/01/2021 00:50

HAPPY NEW YEAR

For us it was SkyFall, News, Bongs then bed 😬

The neighbours were in each other’s houses partying 👿

chuffoff · 01/01/2021 00:51

I thought the drone light show was amazing

This, we end up watching it every year cos there’s nothing better on.

I miss the good old days of Clive Anderson and his review of the year.

lulad · 01/01/2021 00:52

what i've never understood about Jools's shindig is that the music is generally quite relaxed & chilled, eat your dinner to music, or chat by the bar music not shake everything like crazy because it's the end of the year music.

chuffoff · 01/01/2021 00:52

Alicia Keys, not so much.

Still1nLove · 01/01/2021 00:52

We watched the fireworks/light display, I got very emotional. Me, dh and 2 dd’s joined hands, all ready for Auld Lang Syne and we got New York by Alicia WTAF!!
