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?

Actually I think you'll find I got first dibs on him 😐

Too screechy

Zombie relatives.
She sounds in pain.
She needs gas n air

Yy, Bush couldn't get a break here at all. And then were massive in the States.

Eek. That started o.k-sh... and then did the 'desperate' thing.

The 2 female relatives would make a good status quo tribute band

The undead

Oh bless her, it was OK in parts, but I don't think her voice was 'rock' enough for the song.

I like this way better.

nancy

And they don't turn around. And they don't talk to her.

I think it's better not to lie to them.

I'm a bit behind, (about 10 minutes) but j hud is trying a bit hard no?

Is that a Welsh accent I hear?

I loved taylor dane!

Nancy! So funny.
So much hair!
Why are they sitting on a van? Get down.
Into the ark? Will they be wooden?

Toms, ears will prick up.

I think it's missing something when they just walk off without the judges ever seeing them.

Into the ark- because there are 2 of them? They aren't exactly twins...

Chicken farms?

This is getting very surreal.

It's good the unchosen contestants can stomp off without platitudes I think

nancy my mum loves the 'Quo. I forgot to ask her how she feels about Rick Parfitt's passing. Probably cos George Michael went & stole all his thunder a day or so later.

Think Hud is just doing that over enthusiastic Amerucan thing that is anathema to us Brits

Maybe these will be the new joy of sex couple 💏

It must be horrible being in a band when you are clearly the ugly one

it will take S'tom a while to twig there are are 2 of them.

Like when he can't tell if one is male or female.

It's the Everley Brothers crossed with that Take me to Church geezer

I do not understand a word.
