THE VOICE -It's week 2 of the blind auditions- ***8pm Sat*** It's a test of will for those doing Dry January ...

[Raahh]

Everyone here has had some form of lurgy this week, and this afternoon I can't stop sneezing. Needless to say, I'm still off the booze although not through choice .

I wonder which Judge will decide to burst into song and join the acts on stage this week ?

So, I will see y'all later (when I've hunted down some tissues).

I'm drinking elderflower and missing my wine which DH is drinking

Need this thread to stop me reaching for a glass....

I'm all set.

I still can't stop sneezing, which at my age is always dangerous

I'm here. Decaf tea and chocolate biscuits in hand!

Raahh you need to go on the sneezing is unhygienic thread... it's bonkers!

And after all that- I nearly forgot to turn this on.

Rousette well, if I didn't sneeze , my eyes would pop out(or something) but my pelvic floor just collapses.

Oh, this one is 16.

16 people!

I have Evian in the fridge with the aim to drink the whole (small) bottle today. I have had two sips.

Oh this song is becoming a bit ubiquitous on these shows, isn't it?

Is that Olly's sex face ??

Piggy every little helps

The episodes must be all mish mashed together because JHud has same jumper on??

FALLS IN THE DOOR

I'm here!

This girls good

I am disturbed by Olly's face.

And J-Hud doing the - I know more about singing than you face.

They wear the same clothes every epsiode for continuity.

Take a seat Barton

Olly's sex face hahahaha

Signing in with cranberry juice and sparkling water, I like the first girl, she seems grounded as well.

Roussette they do this every year- they must have to wear the same outfit for all the auditions. That way it can be edited and chopped about.

So when you pick a shit outfit for the first audition, you are stuck with it.

Do they? Shows how much I pay attention! Maybe I've only noticed because I'm sober not drinkin'

She seems very nice.

Don't go with J-Hud.

She needs to improve her posture, as well as her range, bless her.

Milked that a bit, but they're probably told to....

Roussette that could be the reason .

It's easier for the blokes- you don't notice. But you do notice when Pixie Lott, for example, wears a day top that shows her atmpits for the duration of the run .

I remember the woman who was on Dragon's Den, saying she wished she had never worn the jacket with the big shoulder pads, because she was stuck with it.

Hi all! A bit late tonight.
What did the Essex girl sing? She seems nice.
Wish you better Raahh.
The dreaded lurgy gets us all. It's the season!
Sudafed is very good.

So, 10 minutes in, 1 act.

Ad break. Gotta love ITV.

I saw A Great Big World a few years ago at Bush Hall in London. Gig was fabulous a d they came out at the end and posed for photos and autographs... '
