It used to be good, but the last few years have been poor.
It will probably just drag on as it's an institution now, but it really needs binning if we're honest.

I agree it used to be good, but the last few years it's been awful!

I see Marc almond has decided to stop singing.

My wife was just introduced to a new word when she asked who it was.
Spunktrumpet was the word.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Best one for a long time.
I know it's fashionable to be disrespectful and take the piss, but some of these artistes deserve better.

There's been some brilliant performances on it over the years, you could make a 2 hour vid and it would be superb.
A quick you tube search will confirm this.
You already know that though lol.

He's sang on a few good uns, but his voice was probably heavily produced in the studio.
I quite like the fella, but that was woeful

To be fair, a couple of his cover versions are SENSATIONAL, and better than the originals

I'm not knocking the artists, apart from Taylor, who frankly was wank, (hes a drummer and backing singer ffs) and almond, who almost just read the words.
I liked queen, and I loved soft cell, but I just say what I see/ hear. They were both awful tonight.
The interviews are embarrassing. Same b list celebs every year.
It's shit.

Is this the new match day thread when there's no game on new years day ?
It was OK, if you don't like it turn it off, is that so difficult ?

Love both those tracks.
He's a lovely guy too. When he's interviewed he comes across really well.
I like the fella, but tonight was shite, he was so much better back in the day.
He should quit while he's only slightly behind.

Bag of Shite! Same shit for the last few years

Yet you still watch it

Because you might like the next artist?

The best on the show was the sister who didn’t have her sister sledge

 

[Eccles Blue]

The woman singing Auld lang syne just kept repeating the chorus! Obviously no idea what the verses were and it was annoying!
Can’t comment on the rest of it as I just turned it over two minutes before midnight. I like to sing along to Auld lang syne.

I thought the little mix lady did OK too.
And jungle did enough for me to seek some of there stuff out.
It's not all negativity from me, I usually get something out of it.

Bbc2 now, 40 hidden treasures
Currently the quite frankly fantastic Mr hutchence banging out bitter tears. What a front man he was

Thought both sang remarkably well to be fair. They've certainly earned the right.
The interviews are cringey. Jools is a terrible interviewer.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Slightly off thread, but still great

 

[aka blue jambo]

I always tape it and watch later
Jungle were excellent
