I am, since I have nothing better to do on NYE! He's got some good acts but AIBU to think that Jess Glynne's voice sounds a bit thin live? ( not sure if I've spelt it right!)

Oh God and now it's that funny little man who crouches down while he sings and looks like he's about to have a nervous breakdown....!

We are watching it, or rather I am DP is snoozing on the sofa. We have young DC and am currently pregnant so this is as exciting as it's going to get. DP has just said can you nudge me at midnight Smile, might push the boat out & get a J20 out of the fridge..yay! Enjoy Jools though always an eclectic mix...

I came on here to ask why that man can't stand up to sing.

CharleyDavidson · 31/12/2015 23:31

I wouldn't mind, but DH put it on as he always likes to watch it, and has since buggered upstairs.

Future Islands! That's what they're called. And now a bit of good old ska, yay!

I thought Jess sounded terrible live. I never knew whether she would hit the next note or not. Very patchy.

I can always get on board with a bit of ska though.

HemanOrSheRa · 31/12/2015 23:36

Bit of Ska! Yus! Sad about Rico though. He was FABULOUS!

GhostsComeWith · 31/12/2015 23:38

God I am watching it as dh is working tonight. I have hated everything I have heard so far......hope it gets better!!!!!!!

hugoagogo · 31/12/2015 23:39

Loving future islands, they are my new discovery- I shazzamed them in a shop a couple of months ago! I cannot get my head around his voice coming out of his mouth- tis wonderful!

hugoagogo · 31/12/2015 23:40

I no likey this lady (cringe)

GhostsComeWith · 31/12/2015 23:41

I hated future islands. Had to turn the sound down!!!! I prefer her....

MooseTrap · 31/12/2015 23:41

Thank fuck she's finished, my ears were hurting.

GhostsComeWith · 31/12/2015 23:43

I DO like Hozier though.....

ClaudiaWankleman · 31/12/2015 23:43

It doesn't seem very... celebratory this year. Anyone remember Paolo Nutini's ?

I know he is probably horrendously high, but that smile and that song are the best thing I've ever seen on JH.

augustusglupe · 31/12/2015 23:43

Oh Hozier....things are looking up Wink

Hozier gets stuck in my head, but is pretty good.

Yes I remember that Claudia. I just thought he was happy Confused . But it was a beautiful performance. Loved it.

I do enjoy JH, it's pretty much the only music show on TV these days. Apparently there's talk of bringing TOTP back.... Watched it on Xmas day and enjoyed it so much! The Tube was better tho.

( apologies to you youngsters who don't know what I'm talking about!)
