[Raahh]

I know it's early- but I've got a football packed morning with dd1. If it's not postponed. And I saw the song choices last night- so have been itching to share them. My bingo card has some crosses on it .

I don't mind 'Edge of Heaven' too much for J and J- it could have been much worse.
Am very surprised at the choice for the Cutkelvins. At the beginning of the series, I thought they were one of the favourites, but Simon doesn't seem to be giving them much, and they are increasingly becoming the sister , with backing.

And BINGO! 'I can't make you love me' I can't stand that song- and it's Grace singing it- which means they really want her to win. it's such a favourite on these shows.

I think Rat Soup doing 'Faith' rather than Sam , means Sam is going home.

And hopefully, the title of Sobby's song is an omen

There are rumours that the quadruple elimination won't happen now. Which is good in a way, as it would probably have left us with Grace and Rat Soup for the next 4 weeks .


So- I'm off to check if dd1's football has been postponed, and then i need to sort out snacks for later.

[Raahh]

I'm also a bit confused as to whether all the acts are singing together tonight...

[PlopGoesTheWeasel]

Slightly disappointed that no-one is doing I Want Your Sex.

Ah well, there's always the chance of a wildcard act!! 😂

Snacks & wine have been purchased. See you all later

[Raahh]

If Skavko was still in, he would definitely have been doing 'I want your sex' probably in a mash up.

I am at Ikea.i have ginger biscuits and have lost the will to live.

[Hisnamesblaine]

I think the girls got.last pick of the songs..... all abit slow and dull.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I'm checking in for later, I am armed with snacks and

Raahh I think you're right, sobby's song is an omen
Typical they gave Grace that song..

It will be interesting to hear Rat soup sing a song that isn't their own.

The song Matt is singing too is just typical, they just want all the ladies to fall in love with him.

[AgentProvocateur]

Who left last week? I missed it.

[MusicToMyEars800]

Tracy-Leanne went last week I think Agent

[AgentProvocateur]

Thanks. I didn’t think she’d last long!

[Roussette]

I'm in! Thanks Raahh

Love our George so hope the songs won't be slaughtered. faint hope

I saw Tracy Leanne go, thank the lord, that song from last week was a travesty and my ears are only just getting over it. Shame I couldn't be online reading all your comments about it

[Raahh]

See, the other problem with splitting the categories over two nights is look what happens now( assuming they are not all singing tonight).

The boys/ overs only have 2 acts left each. So that would make a very short show

But I can't seem to find anywhere that says whether they are split. Or going back to the old format. And if so- what happens about the amazing prize??

[Raahh]

I said on the last thread, the thought of Tracey Leanne doing George in her horrible fake Amy Winehouse affected voice would have made me throw things at the tv. So I am very relieved she left.

Of course, we have Seen and Conor the mumble chums , who Simon thinks so much of, to warn me incoherently through Freedom. So, we will still suffer.

[Raahh]

• warble not warn me!

[Raahh]

*Sean. Stupid phone.

[MusicToMyEars800]

It seems like they haven't thought the new format through properly!
Unless they just drop the prizes etc and go back to the old format when they have no choice.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I'm watching Strictly and sipping waiting for X factor to start

[MusicToMyEars800]

I just had a little look over on the Strictly thread, they are very serious about it all aren't they

[Raahh]

Music oh, they are.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I was reading through and chuckling to myself

[Raahh]

I am watching Strictly and wondering what the agenda is this year, really.
They seem hell bent on really crushing the spirits of some of the celebs. I really don't like Shirley at all.

[cedoren]

Lloyd is an incredible talent.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I don't like Shirley either Raahh I feel for Mollie, her confidence has been knocked to shreds.
Alexandra.com did well again, looks like she's heading to win.

[NoisyBrain]

Interesting choice for Rai-Elle. That song gives me goosebumps when sung by George. I hope she does it well.

[Raahh]

I have a problem with Burke.com. They seem to be treating her like the winner already, the way they did right from the beginning on X Factor. It bugs me.

I think Mollie got grief, indirectly, because of the whole Aston backlash, which is really unfair. She looked so upset.

[Raahh]

Noisy I love it too. It's my favourite on the album. It's an amazing song.

And when Stevie Wonder himself played it at the Michael Jackson memorial, I was in bit.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I hope so too Noisy

I agree Raahh they are kissing her shoes at the mo.
