THE VOICE! It's back. Spinny chairs at the ready.

[Raahh]

Ok- so we know it has been pretty rubbish, and we are hard pushed to remember who won last year. We hate ourselves for watching- and it doesn't help that Rita Ora has taken over the 'annoying female judge' spot'. Bill.Je.Suis, S'Tom, and Rickaaaay are back though.

But I know I will end up watching.

'Highlight' tonight includes a performance by none other than the daughter of the one from Hear'say who ended up in Corrie. Whose name escapes me. Oh, and someone who has already had a top 40 hit.

It starts at 7pm. That's a bit early. I have no

If Rita had played her cards righterer, she could have been Kim Kardashian's SIL. She dated her brother.
She also dated Calvin Harris 9 and supposedly cheated on him. She supposedly cheats on everyone, (and 'shags for tracks')and he took away all the songs that he had written or produced for her, so her album was decimated.

She's now dating Tommy Hilfiger ' s son.

I'm only watching it because Stars in your eyes is on the other side!

The alternative is 'Stars in their Eyes'. i can't stand Harry Hill.

Go with S'Tom.

Ohhh eye rolls, I might like Rita.

Fame academy would have been ok, except that there were a lot of group performances to endure.

I loved fame academy - .lemarr was very good. Radio two played one of his tracks one day, he had a great voice. It was better than this.!

Zebra- she sounds lovely. Isn't an MN-er Calvin's sister?

Awful tv this evening. Who the hell is Ricky?

Dammit I liked Stars In Their Eyes.

This is excruciating. And I keep thinking of Mama Cass and her untimely demise.

She was totally milking her part there.

I like the idea of writing their own stuff, for Fame Academy. And I did like Alex Park(?) who won. But, as with this, they didn't do anything with her, and she disappeared.

BOF- i was avoiding chicken bone related jokes...

I loved Ainslie Henderson from Fame Academy. I have his album :-)

I prefer it when they stand there looking petrified.

They don't have drag this out, do they. It's as bad as xfactor, except theyve no reason to spin it out for the ad breaks in bbc1.

Oooh hello everyone. I've only just switched over, was that last one any good?

Someone linked to quite a sad article about Alex Parks last time. I think she had a breakdown.

Alex was good. It was a format that didnt work with the public, thy seemed to prefer x factor i think. Carrie does bits on the one show.

Thinking about it, fame academy was a much better idea than xfactor. Why on earth did xfactor prove more popular? I remember thinking the same at the time, actually.

It feels even more dragged out, because we don't have the ads to liven it up.

Selling ice cream? Oh dear.

Shes forgot her shirt, its baltic outside

How bloody far do they have to walk?

Rahh yes she was. Is she still about?

Opera acts never work. They don't know what to do with them.

Wow.
