WTF?

That was a poor start.
Also am quite sad they are not going for replicant doppelgangers as instead of Let it shine I have been calling the show Search for a fat Gary.
Although Noel Gallagher insisted the fat dancer from take that was Robbie.
Big girl crush on Martin Kemp though.
I take it Simon Cowell threat to sue was bullshit.

Yes Barrymore I think

MayhemandMadness01 · 07/01/2017 19:13

I did think it was going to be another version of the X factor, at least its different, just not sure if its good or bad at the mo

The80sweregreat · 07/01/2017 19:14

.nancy, yes, i have got worse for watching crap tv since the boys have grown up and i have more time ! ( thats my excuse anyway)
I did avoid the joseph programmes though.

nancy75 · 07/01/2017 19:14

I wouldn't think this was similar enough to X factor to sue, even Simeon doesn't dunk to this level of cheese ( unless it's a dancing dog, he loves a dancing dog)

EvilRingahBitch · 07/01/2017 19:15

I really liked the opening - they set their stall out as being ENTERTAINMENT first and foremost rather than over-earnest and dramatic like The Voice. And I love Mel G, she and Graham can be relied upon to lift even the dodgiest format.

KimmySchmidtsFakeXmasSmile · 07/01/2017 19:15

So...do I stick with this until the voice comes on on ITV or do I try to watch DWTS on Rte? Does anyone know if that requires subscription or just the international app?

Upsy1981 · 07/01/2017 19:15

Martin Kemp has aged well hasn't he?

I have wine and Terry's choc orange segsations so I'll ride it out!

Martin kemp is an absolute silver fox

I'd ride him in to battle

Doilooklikeatourist · 07/01/2017 19:15

I love it

Doilooklikeatourist · 07/01/2017 19:16

He's through !

Redcrayons · 07/01/2017 19:16

MArtin Kemp has still got it.

The80sweregreat · 07/01/2017 19:16

Gary looks happier on this than he did on x factor already!

KimmySchmidtsFakeXmasSmile · 07/01/2017 19:17

Indeed anyone who saw Pudsey the movie should have sued Cowell Grin

nancy75 · 07/01/2017 19:17

Does the big gold star turn into a trap door to a pit of lions if they don't get enough points? At the moment that's the only thing that might keep me watching

The80sweregreat · 07/01/2017 19:18

There is a thread for the voice on the go to!
Why do they make it clash?

Upsy1981 · 07/01/2017 19:18

QueenMortidicado just said the same about Martin to DH.

OP posts:
nancy75 · 07/01/2017 19:19

I'm definitely switching to the voice, unless they feed Mel to the lions

KimmySchmidtsFakeXmasSmile · 07/01/2017 19:19

upsy chuck us some choc orange will ya?!

PippilottaViktualia · 07/01/2017 19:19

I've turned it off already. What a load of toot! Very disappointed. I was embarrassed watching the very start of it, wtf are you doing, Gary?!

Redcrayons · 07/01/2017 19:19

OOoooh Howard. My favourite one.

The80sweregreat · 07/01/2017 19:19

He looks older than 18!

Raahh · 07/01/2017 19:19

I loved the finding Nancy/Dorothy/Joseph programmes- and finding Jesus was a real test of endurance. Grin

it looks like they have thrown a lot of money at it though.

But I'm not sure at all about this .
And I love Graham.

But, I think I will stick with the Voice later on, and hope the opening number isn't as cheesy!!

QueenMortificado · 07/01/2017 19:20

This Irish guy should've auditioned for the X-factor, Louis Walsh would've put him straight through

Can't wait to hear some absolute disasters though

nancy75 · 07/01/2017 19:20

Hi Raahh, another lover of crap tvGrin
