I mean- come on, that's just an excuse to trot out more sappy ballady shit. where are the proper themes? Bring on Abba week, Death metal week, bugger it- even Cliff Richard week if it means they will sing something that actaully follows a theme .(A spoiler claims Johnny is singing the Jason and Kylie classic 'Especially for you' wtf?!)

Mind you, in light of poor wee Janet losing her grandad this week, it could be quite emotional Sad

Will keep eye out for list of songs....

Oh and BOF. hilarious.

SayGhoulNowSayWitch · 16/10/2011 10:57

Haven't watched it yet but will later as we Sky Plussed it (yes that is a verb) so just marking my spot to have the thread ready to read at the same time because I'm very sad

SayGhoulNowSayWitch · 16/10/2011 14:29

Wow. Am all caught up, and read thread at the same time. Have to say that was one of the funniest XF threads I've ever read. Before I get stuck into my summary, can someone PLEASE PM me LeBof's story as it was already deleted when I got here [hsad]

OK....

In no particular order....

Gary's little eyebrow flirt at the very beginning made me giggle like a schoolgirl.
WTAF is going on with Tulisa's weird arm shakey non-salute thing?

CockOozer was absolutely shite. Couldn't sing in tune, sounded like he'd just run a marathon.
I am soooo over Janet. Have to admit that DH and I did like her in the auditions but I'm bored of the breathy trying-to-be-Cranberries-style-but-failing voice.

Craig's singing sneer scares me a bit.

I love Johnny but agree that he should be given a more serious song. And yes he looked very like Alan Cummings in drag. As an aside, DH thinks Johnny and Louis should get together as they'd make a very sweet couple Hmm

Actually quite enjoyed Kitty, or at least didn't hate it as much as I thought I would

Sami was boring right up until the last 15 seconds.

Marcus was good although I didn't know the song.

Rhythmix - ... ... ... There are no words really. Miss Claggynut terrifies me a little bit. She looked like she had thrush the way she was hopping from foot to foot. And WTAF was going on with their clothes? And the rousing speech from Tulisa at the end?

Nu Vibe - No vibe. Thanks Gary.

The Risk - OK. Could listen again. Was a bit meh though.

Sophie was meh.

And thanks for missing me Sue and Brooms Grin

Not that anyone is interested but my brief thoughts are:

I totally agree about Frankie - he was pretty shocking last night Shock I can't believe that he was the 3rd best male singer under 25 that they heard at the auditions...can think of tons that they got rid of who were miles better than him (in fact, the ones they put together to make Nu Vibe are all probably better than him for a start!)

I quite liked the way that The Risk did not focus on Charlie tonight - in fact, he had a bit part really. Clever way to show they aren't just a one-man band.

I don't really have a favourite (maybe Marcus cos he just seems so happy and lovely) which is a bit disappointing as I don't really care who wins Confused

Also, there are no 'lookers' this year are there? Is this a deliberate attempt to ensure that a young male singer doesn't win as obviously their careers nosedive afterwards? There is no-one for the teenage girls to vote for really is there??

Why wouldn't anyone be interested ceebee? Blimey, if we all thought that, MN would explode Grin. I am interested in your thoughts and I think you're right about the lookers. Though I think, bafflingly, that people find the Cock-Oozer attractive.
Who's on for the results then? We'll need a shiny new thread

ceebeegeebies · 16/10/2011 16:49

Sue thank you Smile I think I would rather be celibate forever than let Cock-oozer come anywhere near me - all that hair and skinny legs Apart from the fact I am old enough to be his mum anyway Wink

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 16/10/2011 16:51

Imagine him wet though, he'd be five inches wide Grin. He's mostly hair and flea spray.

New thread here

figgygal · 16/10/2011 18:16
