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?

Destiny- I've a feeling we will hear more of this 'jenniferising' malarky

I remember when Jennifer Hudson was on American X factor she didn't win but she was incredible. She was much bigger too so fair play to her she looks great and she's had so much tragedy in her life. Love her voice too.

What a shame she's a twat, I really wanted to like her.

Well I guess it makes a change from " you made that song your own" I guess.

I love one of jhuds songs, spotlight.

He does have a lovely voice. And he is very pretty. And Daisy is just lovely (adored her on Strictly).
But to deny a five year relationship just cos you don't want your fans to know you're bi and to threaten no contact with your (god)daughter or her mum if they take a DNA test is pretty shitty behaviour (although they talk now I think).

Was it her family who were murdered bracey?

Going off for my tea, see you later

Did he shag Marilyn aka Boy George's mate??

Jennifer is too American for us Brits.
We dont do this here.

I think its good that they don't turn around if none of them want them, because then they have to pretend they remember them from previous years.

Wasn't that last bit just JHud putting the girl in her place? I wouldn't want a mentor that kept showing me they could do it better

Cocopew yeh it was. So awful. Was it her Mum and brother?

All little kids love to sing

Yes, he sounds a shitty sort. Despite the looks etc.
Daisy must take after her mum then in the personality stakes!

This one has raided the X factor pleather cupboard

This Marilyn?

Had a look, mum brother and nephew. So tragic.

Pleathered up for nowt.

We don't need another Ellie Goulding! So glad no one turned

Oh and he shagged the nanny.

Pearl Lowe (Jude Law) and Gwen Stefani (Gavlar) must be shouting jinx.

Well that was harsh she was alright!!

I was hoping to like Jennifer Hudson but she seems so full of herself. I thought the way she tried to show Diamond how to reach the high notes by singing them herself was just her showing off and trying to make it all about her.

Tho to be fair, the public humiliation is not nice to watch.

Is there no female singers who just sing instead of doing the vocal acrobatics?
Do none of them want to be the new Debbie Harry or Chrissie Hynde?

If you got no turns wouldn't you leave straight away? I wouldn't hang about on stage
