No one else seems to have started a thread so here I am.

I may not be here at the beginning but will do my best.

Apparently this is Olly and Ann Marie's last series. Clearly Tom is immortal and Will is irreplaceable.

Come this way for Nan Warz, button press mimes, and Twats in Hats.

No worries at all, we're each entitled to our opinions! Smile

They’re making a tv show. It’s edited. The order you see the acts isn't the order they performed. So the director can pick an “out there” act who gets 4 turns to be the final one shown.

I've loved Sir Tom since first seeing him on tv in the 60's, the voice, the man, the Vegas shows. Incredible.

No chance they weren't briefed about Fatt Butcher, his voice was not great.

They have shortened that JL ad so much , it now makes no sense at all.

Noticed this too, why?!

Just catching up with Saturday's- because I totally forgot about it. Am wizzing through it. (and been reading all your comments).
Was a bit bored by the first group- and all white is very brave. But kept making me think ot East 17, and I wanted bells.
I really like Pete the Beat Box, bit different and seemed like a nice bloke).
Was an excuse for Will to get a chance to perform (not really many of those , are thereGrin).
I recognised Honeyz woman- definitely not the first time a 'famous' type has been over looked (though very often the judges used to claim to remember them, when it was obvious they didn't have a clue). That's avoided now, the judges don't turn at the end.
Will was gutted not to turn for Gilet man.

But I'm not convinced the whole show isn't fixed- we've always suspected the judges are 'primed' to turn for certain acts. It's part of the fun though. Grin.

Ukrainian woman was nice, next bloke sounded nervous and the song went south.
Bloke singing the Beatles was out of tune for much of it. But really did string it out at the end for a turn.
Fatt Butcher had potentially an ok voice- but no way were the judges not briefed beforehand.
Picking Tom was maybe not a wise move. I really don't know what Tom will do with them.

But- Santa's not real??Shock

WTF Grin

Bit of a Strictly crossoever tonight- but given how many advert are in this, it's probably fairly easy to watch both, without missing much. . Grin.

Piggywaspushed · 25/11/2023 19:57

Yeah, I'll be late because of SCD.

I was going to watch at the start, but got caught up in Annabel and Jojo Grin

Swashbuckled · 25/11/2023 20:04

Just landed after a hectic and stressy day. Some hovering now between kitchen and living room while I prepare something to eat with the TV on.

Have managed to pour a glass of wine, thankfully.

Swashbuckled · 25/11/2023 20:08

I like her voice.

It does seem a bit fixed.

Ukrainian woman was a pity vote, had an ok voice. Fatt Butcher was definitely one they were briefed about in advance and they chose him because he’s a drag act and a bit of a diva, his voice wasn’t special to me at all.

I suppose, with the Voice people making the programme if they chose people who can sing but don’t have a “story” or a great look/character then they run the risk of having people who can sing but are in the viewers eyes maybe, boring. And the Voice needs and wants more viewers. So they chose people with an ok voice but a story and/or great look/character.

Not keen on the earrings.

Swashbuckled · 25/11/2023 20:22

The one in his left ear looks like the "dangly earrings" that were such a thing in the early 80s. Who knew we were so ahead of our time?

NoisyBrain · 25/11/2023 20:22

Ckecking in, but eating dinner so will be lurking for a while!

Swashbuckled · 25/11/2023 20:22

Ooh, I like his voice from the first few bars though....
