The 'Mexican Brothers' are not actually brothers, but are Mexican. A Los Lobos/Beatles mash-up no less.

So- there are a lot of acts to get through. Will need and

[Sparklingbrook]

Ooh an 'O'Dowd' I wonder if that will be mentioned a million times?

[Raahh]

Oh it will- Sparkling

[Sparklingbrook]

I have teenage taxiing to do tonight and I am hoping it won't clash.

[theredlion]

I'll do your teenage taxiing sparkling?
I'm not very enamoured with The Voice this year but I'm sticking with it in sheer desperation.

[The80sweregreat]

Hi, bought wine and rocky road chocs ( seemed apt) although i need choc like a hole in the head just now. Winter is good for covering the bumps tho..
If BG turns for the O dowd, then its a fix..lol

[Sparklingbrook]

Cheers lion. Ds1 needs taking 12 miles away to a friend's house via a cashpoint and somewhere selling beer and crisps.

[The80sweregreat]

Sparkling, i think your teen will have a better time than us..

[theredlion]

Yeah I can do that sparkling, that's well within my normal remit.
DD is already despatched to her boyfriend's for the evening, I don't think they're going to a party tonight otherwise I'd suggest we could just dump them all at the same gathering and let them work it out between them?

[Destinysdaughter]

Hi all, just marking place. This series seems to have gone on forever!

[theredlion]

X-Factor dragged too didn't it Destinys?
On that subject, Nick Grimshaw and Caroline Flack are out of X-Factor this year.

I reckon Louis and Dermot are back.

[Raahh]

Apparently Nick 'quit' but I read something Simon said, that implied he would have liked to have ditched him mid series.

As for Flack, well, that was inevitable.

Can Olly be trusted on his own, or will he announce a new 'tour' and they will then get Dermott back?

And yy, this has gone on forever, but mercifully isn't nearly as drawn our as X Factor!

[Destinysdaughter]

Isn't one of the One Direction boys being touted as a judge this year? Slightly cynical way to raise the viewing figures if it's true! Glad Nick has gone, didn't think he brought much to the party.

[Raahh]

Louis Tomlinson- isn't he the one who has just become a dad? Is he the least likely to want a solo career, then ? I know he has been at Judges' houses before.

[The80sweregreat]

Not heard the Artic Monkeys on any show like this before.. Now, i love this song, so will it be fast or slow i wonder? Alex 'breathy style..'hmmm.
Nice to see a few up to date songs on the list.
I saw about Grimmy n Flack getting the push..a one direction boy would lift the audience and bring the teens and tweenies back i think. If they are any good is another matter!

[Fiderer]

Have missed the last few weeks but assume I haven't missed much

Still blind auditions?

[theredlion]

Oh let's string this out a bit more.

[squoosh]

Oh I did laugh when I read of the axe falling on Flack et al.

[squoosh]

She's on the wrong show. She should be auditioning for Birds of a Feather.

[Raahh]

Here we go!

[Raahh]

She said she doesn't think she looks 42...

Is she Wilma Flintstones larger sister? Or Fred?

[Destinysdaughter]

Cruise ship!

[Raahh]

She is very orange.

Funny if Ricky turns...

[squoosh]

She'd get chucked over the side of a cruise ship.

[Raahh]

DD1 is gobsmacked by the awfulness of the outfit.

[Destinysdaughter]

Is she Vanessa Feltz's younger sister?
