Anyway, gather round, and let the bitchfest searing social commentary commence...

i knew you'd be about wi the ape face being mentioned sjue Grin

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 11:22

Kelly is a sap though. And will be all empowering and earnest at them, that'll get right up my nose.

At least this year we won't have to listen to SyCo's favourite songs again and again and again. Just Louis'.

sjuperwolef · 12/09/2011 11:27

''you are a strong independant woman giiiirl get up onto that stage and oooown it!!'' will be heard in all variations throughout the live shows

louis will have westshoite and buble songs the whole time .. what fun..

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 11:28

She will, Sjoops, you know it

Louis will do the Westshoite stools and Bubbles covers ALL THE FECKING TIME. Plus 80s power ballads for anyone over 18.

im strangely missing dannii for the live shows, they havent even started yet!

she was the one judge who tried to fit the song choices to the singer not her own prefference - she fucked up a fair few times but she tried.

never thought the day would come when i would admit to liking a minigyoo.

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 11:40

I liked Danniiiiiiii last year, not so much before.

I think there'll be a bit more rivalry this year, as opposed to the staged rivalry before. When Mingehead had a category you could still see his influences in the performances of the front-runners in the other groups, for all he pretended not. He was backing the money from the start, regardless of category.
This year I think they'll all actually try to outdo one another.

I'm sure I heard somewhere that Tulisa gets the groups, so Kelly must get the girls.

Yes, that sounds like what they'll do.

Raahh · 12/09/2011 13:22

Are they back to calling it the over-25's? Didn't they make it 28's last year (so they could include Matt the Hat in the boys group, rather than stick him in with wagner etc).

I can't stand Robbie Williams- I like that (so far), the show hasn't just been about the judges - as soon as Robbie turns up, it will be all about him. Grrr.
Like J-Hud- but would have loved it to be Beyonce- she has recently become my girl-crushBlush.

And dannii was great- she clearly didn't like the Cole/Cowell lovefest- although she did lumber poor little scary Aidan with a rather crap image, and poor song choices.

Tulisa will have someone to help, who none of us oldies will understand, and we will mutter things like 'in my day' 'where's the tune' 'rap is crap' etc etc...

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 13:32

Couldn't be worse than Williyum though Raah, whoever she picks. Him and his scuba goggles Hmm

I think they should rename the overs category to something more realistic, like Supermarket Workers Of A Certain Age.

Future Pub Singers with Jowls

The Jowlies- I like it. Possibly a bit ageist, but we aren't the most PC thread in the world.

OP posts:
SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 14:00

S'OK, we're mostly over 25 so we're allowed.

Sjoops, listen up, no slagging the OverJowlies unless you want to be a big ol' ageracialamistaphobic. You're too young and dewy.

EmmaRoyd · 12/09/2011 14:05

sorry Sue, but in case anyone didn't see it 2 years ago here's a reminder

Can someone please tell me who Jennifer Hudson is? Blush

(I know, I know JFGI....)

EmmaRoyd · 12/09/2011 14:40

she was in a film with Beyonce, Dream Girl's I think? and was SJP's assistant in the SATC film. Used to be a lot larger but has lost a lot of weight and is now looking like a little Kelly Rowland

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 14:42

2 years? FFS sake I am old, I thought it was last year.
Well, he's still a gobshite.

havealittlefaithbaby · 12/09/2011 14:44

Didn't Jennifer Hudson win American Idol at some point? How she was discovered. Then yes moved into acting doing Dream girls and Satc.

EmmaRoyd · 12/09/2011 14:46

little kelly rowland

LadyBeagleEyes · 12/09/2011 14:46

She was in American Idol but didn't win, and then went on to win an Oscar.
Poor Simon Cowell's flashing pounds signs must have been faulty the day he let her go.

SuePurblybilt · 12/09/2011 14:55

Jennifer Hudson always strikes me as Woman Most Likely to Necksnake in most films. And also do that mm-hmm noise.

HazeltheMcWitch · 12/09/2011 15:19

Ooh, they said Tulisa was with Jessie J - I LOVE her!

HazeltheMcWitch · 12/09/2011 15:21

Cowell also turned down Mercedes-from-Glee (from American Idol). Who was also turned down for the role that J-Hud won her Oscar for.
