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?

i don't think we should hear the rejects speak. Or cry. just leave. But i am evil.

Haha at gavin not wanting to let anyone down. Shouldn't have shagged the nanny then.

Yes, debbie n chrissie just sang!

I have just shed a tear for pink haired lady. I need to toughen up

^Ooh good picks. Debbie. Chrissie. Kate. Shirley.

Good God why do they always bring the nans on...?

He is a bit james arthur

Strange song choice

cocolepew just said the same! He let his wife down to shah the nanny

80s at least this one has a head that fits him

Oh no. No good.
Plus his gf looks.like his mum

Coco in all my years of watching this dross, I've learnt , it's all about the melisma.

And I still think it would make a great name.

Is Emma Willis actually on this? I've mislaid my specs tonight so not sure if I've just not seen her lurking. I'm not liking the 'X Factor' stylee filming of convos backstage.

I watched 1983 TOTP last night n Siousixe sue ( wrong sp but you know who i mean) was on. She was fab.
Its sad they dont turn. You would feel awful.

Coco- I thought the same about the GF.

Should have stayed banking.

Tbh I am a bit disappointed that the new producers didn't pick up on our trapdoor suggestion.

It's the J HUD show poor Gav looks bewildered like fish out of water

Why do the judges seem to feel that they need each others permissions to turn round?

Emma W was on for a few seconds at the start.

Gonna watch the doc about Bowie now.A real artist.Night all and thanks! X

The audience are giving the judges a hard time - I like that!

Emma will probably only appear on the knockout /live bits or something.

Remember the kerfuffle when Holly Willybooby did it, and bascally got paid about £400.000 for 10 minutes of air time in the first 6 weeks or something? Beeb watchers were unhappy. At least there are ads paying for Emma

Coco, I've wanted a trapdoor for so many years now, I don't care what show it's on, they just don't listen!
