THE VOICE! it's back- 8pm Saturday 6th- this time, minus Gavin, (boo!)and with added Olly Murs..

[Raahh]

Poor Stalker Gavin - he never really fit in. But he's probably better off out of it...

I can't even remember who won it last year - was it Mo? What happened to him?. I keep thinking of Liberty X Kevin - but he was the year before (and how soon was he forgotten- again).

So- we have S'Tom, Will, and J-Hud back as judges, and now Olly. Who will be all 'cheeky chappy' and love every one, most likely.

Spinny chairs at the ready! (not too fast though- I'm feeling a bit head achey- I think I'm allergic to weekends ).

Platypus well, clearly, you should turn wifi and all technology off. You wouldn't want your teens to grow up to be such privileged and judgemental humans as you now, would you?

I am not leaving! You can't make me!

What is wrong with you people ?
Music, I went to the My Name Is Prince exhibition at the o2 and cried in the gift shop I hadn't even been it to it.

I knew that hairdresser was Glaswegian before he opened his mouth . It's the Glaswegian equivalent of having a gaydar.

Ah yes, to add insult to injury despite being brought up on the best of music dd1 likes (shame) One Direction and Justin Beiber. Dd2 has far better taste, but she's mean.

You can't compare Whitters and Prince! He was a true innovator, she merely belted (in a nice voice admittedly) MOR ballads.

I am nodding off.

And we've not had any one do the 'walk of shame' yet .

'cried in the gift shop'

Coco I love prince and listen to his songs on a daily basis.

Oh I no longer have dreams about Beiber btw.

music I have never really listened to his music growing up and as an adult what I did hear I was a bit "meh" about so there's that.

Prince was awesome. A real ' one off' in a bloated business.
I tried explaining all this to dc , didnt work.
' i wanna be your lover' is a fantastic pop song. Now if one of these did a cover of this id be so impressed!

When DS was a toddler he loved indie music (like me). Now he loves blooming Ed Sheeran and hates Pulp

I still miss BBC The Voice when they actually spoke to the contestants. The videos of them walking over a bridge irritate me. Every major city has a bridge like that so it's no clearer where they are

We were on the Prince thread after he died weren't we Music?

Not long til someone murders Purple Rain no doubt!

I dunno what Olly’s doing on the voice. It’s always been Will ( the ‘cool’ weird one ) a woman, Sir Tom ( decades of experience ) & a sexy, edgy, rocky type.

coco Bieber dreams? And I'm the one who should be leaving the thread?

Yay! Norn Iron man. Bound to be good.

Waits for the no turn humiliation

That poor girl looks mortified.

My parents were the ones with terrible taste in music. They preferred Gerry and the Pacemakers to the Stones or the Beatles. Name any brilliant 60s musician and they will say 'oh no, we preferred 'insert name of truly awful act that no one listens to anymore'.

I'm going NC.

I loved Prince, but I worked in a record shop with two massive fans, who knew everything and had every recording etc. It was an excuse to play lots of music. Though , we obviously had to programme out the more sweary /rude songs .

A married person! Who sang at their wedding!

After all this build up,.I'm so hoping for a 'no turn'

evil

anyway, surely the fun of watching these shows is being judgemental???

If I'd been at that wedding I would have had to have left the church in case I wet myself.

Now he loves blooming Ed Sheeran and hates Pulp

Pack his bag and turn him out on the street tonight.

It was awful sort of, last year during the voice I kept having them Dilllite.
