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?

Heloo. More terrible tv coming up.

Oohh Jennifer is going to be loud

Ooh I'd forgotten how pleasant Gavin is to look at. I have a Bush single on CD somewhere. They were far more popular in the US than here, I seem to recall.

DD1 has just asked me who won last year.

Erm....

I remember Cody. She didn't win. And I remember Vangelis. Who also didn't win.

So....

Can I be horrible on this thread? There are disgusted people on the let it shine thread!

That Bush bloke is no Freddie!!

Oh yes Gavin is very easy on the eyes

And I thought this would start better than Let it Shne

And here comes S'Tom to blow all voices out of the water. Gavin is very good looking.

S'Tom!! Oh how I missed you, you old dog.

Oh Tom's showing them how it's done 😍

Coco, i had to look gavin up. Never heard of Bush.
He did have an affair with Marilyn who is lovely.
Was married to Gwen Stafani. Not any more.
Daisy lowes dad.
All on wiki! What would i do without it?

Now Jennifer IS The Voice!!!

Its the law on this thread Nancy

Nancy- of course you can.

I was not sure what I could get away with over there, despite familiar faces. So I came back here.

Can't believe he is Daisy's dad??!!

Excellent! I approach all telly threads in the same way as the X factor ones, sometimes it doesn't do down well

Nancy, a few punch ups over there so i exited pretty swiftly!

Tom has such a good voice.

Hey up first one is mr personality

Yeah, it was getting a bit 'outraged of Tunbridge Wells' for me!

nancy you can be as 'orrible as you like, can't she Raaahh???

cos I will

nancy I think the X Factor/Voice threads attract a very special crowd

Ha, it's not the same if you can't slae the contestants

Haha pp on these threads are v shocked at how bitchy and judgemental we are. But that's the fucking point! We're not on here to appreciate anyone just to mock..!!
