THE VOICE - it's back, Sir Tom is back, it's on ITV, it's on at ****8pm****... it can't be any worse than last year, can it?

[Raahh]

So, do we think it will be better or worse now ITV have their mitts on it?

2 new judges- Gavin Rossdale, who I'm not sure I like much, and J-Hud, which will hopefully spare us renditions of her songs from the wannabes.

And of course, Will-i-am. Bill je suis.

I'm glad Tom is back, but I might actually miss Ricky a bit, and his desperate 'be my friend' ways. And even Boy George grew on me a bit by the end of last year.

New twist- the judges who don't turn, don't have to to turn around and make nice with the acts. So, if no judges turn around, I expect, they just have to leave the stage all dejected and sad. which is harsh. But could be fun.

So- I'm not doing dry January, as I've too much alcohol lying around for that, but I managed, 'dry September-ish to November' instead, and I might have some mince pies left.

So- anyone going to join me?

Omg I've just googled it ! He doesn't look old enough !

Gavin Rossdale is veeerrry edible
... I can hardly wait to find out if the beauty matches the brains

Bye 80s, see you in ONGAR

Bloody hell get on with it

There's a bit of Frank Spencer about Max

He's either going to be amazing or shite

Like the Ark boys. The others are kinda forgettable. These two friends seem lovely - I hope both can sing and get through.

He needs a wee

Strange sounds coming from my telly...

I hate this song and he's irritating as fuck

oh, S'Tom, too late.

Max is 12 years old, yes?

Nice to see Gavin doesnt speak in an american accent.

Gawd... that was awful I thought

Don''t lie Tom

I thought that was really good! Definite potential

If nobody turns for his mate it will be awkward

I really didn't like that last one.

This guy will be good they alway save the best til last

Now this is better!!!!

He's good. Much better than his flatmate.

He's good. Mellow voice but then there's a rasp.

I like him! First one so far.
