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?

[The80sweregreat]

S'tom is looking old. Bless. Can still sing though.
This Gav bloke has a touch of the Jude law about him?
Smooth voice.

[Cocolepew]

I still have a 70's bush

[nancy75]

Gavin looks nice but I think he could be a bit boring

[NoisyBrain]

Coco

[The80sweregreat]

Noisy, mine could do with a trim mate

[MrsDoylesTeabags]

I'd join Tom's team definately even if he didn't want me

[nancy75]

Oh god I forgot there would be adverts!

[Cocolepew]

Oh ads. Yuck.

[Screamer1]

Anyone else wondering how much Botox gavin has had?

[Roussette]

yes, not the same with ads

[MrsDoylesTeabags]

Coco I also have one of them.
Mr Doyle has just commented that even with adverts this is better than Let it Shine. can't stand Garry Barlow though

[Roussette]

He is only 51... he looks about that I would've said...

[bonnieweelass]

JHud is very annoying and I always thought she would be nice, but she's irritating me

[Raahh]

Oh bugger.

Adverts.

I had forgotten about those. And we don't even have JL Christmas ads to distract us.

[The80sweregreat]

Id go team Tom
But im old, so he wouldnt want me.
And i cant sing

[Cocolepew]

Bush sold 10 million albums in the US

[Roussette]

Agree Doyle Gary Barlow is so bloody pompous

[Roussette]

she's irritating me too bonnie... sort of try too hard

[Cocolepew]

Who's 51? gavin?
The perfect age for me.

[MrsDoylesTeabags]

ThatGood Karma thing looks interesting

[Destinysdaughter]

[Roussette]

Fine for me too coco even though I'm OLD

[The80sweregreat]
