or' Shouting and over emoting week'.

And once again, no-one is doing 'Song for Guy' Sad

Andrea Faustini
I Have Nothing

Lauren Platt
How Will I Know?

Only The Young
Something About The Way You Look Tonight

Stereo Kicks
Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Ben Haenow
I Will Always Love You

Fleur East
I’m Every Woman

Stevi Ritchie
I’m Still Standing

All the usual suspects, song-wise, are present. Even managing to shoe-horn 'I'm every woman' in, even though it's a cover.
Looking forward to Lamenting Lozza, making HWIK sound like a funeral march.

Despite the theme, I am disappointed 'Don't let the sun.' isn't the Nik Kershaw song 'I won't let the sun...' Wouldn't be unusual for Louis to completely mess up the theme, after allGrin.

And it's a double elimination. Will Melty 'still be standing' by Monday? Will the fact OTY are doing something grown up and serious for once , be their downfall?

See y'all later. I am in homework hell. Is it too early for Wine?

Another ballard for Pugsy , he could be gone. People might get bored!

I think Pugsy is being sabotaged, as Cowell as realised that much as people like him, he is forrin- and I'm sure there was a backlash when a forrin act won BGT. So, he can only be allowed to come second- hence he is now trotting out ballad after ballad, and the judges are criticising things that they liked at the beginning.

That's my opinion, anyway. Grin

Very apt song for Stevie :)

Elton John? Whitney Houston?

INSPIRED. I can't remember the last time I last heard a song by one of those over emoting windbags on the X Factor.

Urgh
And Year Nine Detention 'singing' Don't Let Louis The Sun Go Down On Me, double Urgh. I predict LOTS of pointing for emphasis. LOTS.

Do you think the Mastrb8's will have stools? Louis likes a stool.

He does. I think yes, and standing up at the key change. Along with the fervent pointing they all do.

I'd love if the memo 'Masterb8 must have stools as props on stage' got lost in translation and they all came out clutching poo samples.

Chezza is ill and might bp not make it tonight with a bit of luck!

I predict stools and lots of poo squats, not necessarily in that order!

My nan reckons chezza is pregnant.
Not sure where she's got that from!

squoosh · 22/11/2014 16:45

Nans are usually right in these matters I find............

Hmmm, but I'm still highly dubious of Chezza's happy union, I just don't get a 'loved up couple' vibe from them.

She must quite like him to take on that surname?
Wouldn't fancy saying that every time I had to call somewhere - assuming she does that sort if thing herself.

squoosh · 22/11/2014 16:52

To be fair it doesn't take much for Chezza to change her surname! She probably thinks she sounds dead kontinental n klassy.

We have had plans the last 2 or 3 Saturdays so I am really looking forward to tonight with you lot. DH and the kidlets better let me watch live!

Hecking in?? Which the iPad wants to autocorrect to Heckling In, which is somewhat appropriate, especially for MastRB8 and Stevi...Grin

Obv I meant checking in though....

Stevi's song made me chuckle.

If uI can stay awake long enough I'll be back for the big event!

If they're giving Pugsy a ballad why didn't they give him the one that made the judges fake cry in the auditions.

and how is Heynow going to get on with I will always love youuuuuuuuuuu.

It's going to be awful, I can't wait. Grin

Rubbish rubbish song choices. And is it my imagination, or has Lauren already done How Will I Know (slowly and sadly of course!) And OTTY have already done Something About.. as well?? Or has my poor fevered brain cracked and gained the ability to see the X Factor future? Shock

Oh they only bloody well have already done them. Lauren did this one at the arena audition, OTTY did this at their room audition Angry

What's the point of tonight then?
"Sit in bored apathy as contestants recycle songs they sang the other week! But this time surrounded by ladies in PANTS!!"

On the plus side, I don't have x factor powers Grin which is a relief.

Okay Twunt I'll removes the Saturday Night Soothsayer badge but I'm afraid I'll have to replace it with the altogether more alarming X Factor Super Fan badge.
