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?

Thanks Plectrum Will have to have a listen to the original.

I wish they would put the song names and artists up on screen.

I think he will pick will I am

Fantastic voice. Willy is a twit.

Yeah that would be helpful, I hardly ever know the songs!

I really like him.

Mo to win!

Definately the best of the night!

What a voice he has

Ooh he picked Jennifer!

ach, he should have picked will i am

Mistake picking her I think...unless she calms down a bit

Cheers peeps!

See you next week

See you all next week!

TTFN!

Well sorry what a crock of shite that was - they should rename it the Jhudshow:-)

Btw can any of you name one winner off THe Voice that went on to do well?? No me neither!

G'night !

Have a good one

I hope Jennifer calms down a bit, but we will be seeing these auditions out of any real order, so I doubt it.

Bet she wishes she had worn something more comfortable. Like one of Ricky's suit's and waistcoats. She was forever tugging the dress down.

The Scottish firefighter was on a Hogmanay show recently - didn't see the show but his face came up on the ads & it took about 3 viewings to place him. Steve something?

Was it that ex-pop stars reject who won last year? I've not seen hyde nor hair of him since.

The only Voice alumnus to have had any real career, that I can name, has been Becky Hill I think. She's not set the charts alight, but she has had a steady career, mainly as a 'featured ' artist on dance type stuff.

Oh that was who won last year!! Kevin(?) from Liberty X. He was all depressed and miserable after his first shot at fame died a death, and then last year didn't exactly work out for him either! I (genuinely) hope he is o.k

Ahhh, this is better. I tried that Barlow crap, my God it was awful.
Love The Voice and this year's judges are possibly the best line up yet and they all have real talent themselves.

Do you think we could start a change.org petition to bring Ricky back?
Gav's back-story drowns out his prettiness and Jennifer is just too American.
Plus, why have they locked the fragrant Emma in a store cupboard with no mike? Let her present ffs
