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?

He looks like that bloke out of West Side Story . Might just be his hair.

I found them dull.

Is that andy murray on guitar?

Hello.

They will go with gavin

I always have subtitles on. Noisy dog....

I thought the non- turner didn't get to turn around and talk to them.

Toms gonna mention Elvis..bingo

Gavin has lovely hair

Gavin does have a very smooth forehead

Did Tom just mention Wales? I was distracted by the cat.

The guitarist had beautiful eyes

Jamie theakston!
His name is Gavin something.
In a band called Bush?
I had no idea either.

Gavin looks like he's been airbrushed. Eyes don't move when he smiles.

Fuck it. First go and I got it wrong.

Kimmy- It's Gavin Rossdale, Mr Gwen Stefani, from Bush .

These two may have gigged in Chicken farms. I might have misheard.

Elvis is alive and well.

They've gone with S'Tom. Boy-o. All is well with the universe.

I can't get used to the adverts. Which is strange, because it's completely normal on X Factor.

No, the lure of Wales was too much
The dominos ad is funny! ( makes me feel hungry)

Thank you. I have watched them on youtube now and they still don't ring a bell.

How can anyone go with Tom or Will when none of their protégés have ever had a hit record from this bloody show..?

80s I'm a bit crap with the whole linky thing, but here's Bush's 'big' UK hit:

Raahh, it shouldnt have ads.
Its not right.

Oh wha'dya know, it worked!

I never understand why the SCS woman is so dressed up in a settee shop. What's that all about?

Noisy, thank you.
They really did pass me by.
Had kids in the 90s, maybe thats why?

OK yes that one is vaguely familiar. TBH I was more of a Stock, Aitken and Waterman girl.
