X-FACTOR- Hallowe'en Special- It's FRIGHT night (or should that be FIGHT??)!

[NosfeRaahhtu]

So, Kelly has pulled out of tonight's show as she is 'ill'.[hhmm]

Tulisa and Kelly aren't speaking to each other, and Kelly has been criticised for going to the States this week and not 'mentoring'.

All very convenient, methinks.

anyhoooooo- ther first song spoiler/rumour i heard was Kitty is doing the Eurythmic's 'Sweet Dreams'- but the Marilyn Manson version. Ok then.

Surely Tulisa can't mess this up?

and who do we think will do 'Thriller'??[hgrin]

Did Wanger like it? Bless his support hose.

No, Witches, a Northern town but not Bradford. Sue, have you heard the news? Wanger is appearing in I'm A Celebrity this year. Looking forward to seeing how he copes in the jungle.

He's not going to like what that humidity does to his silky locks, fo'sho.

how long before he gets accused of sexpesting the token Page 3 totty?

Arf at Sue. Wonder what cockoozer is going to be singing this week? Am assuming this will be his last week, surely he can't last any longer.

Hello! Checking in now but will probably end up watching about an hour behind time as usual...

Little Mix is such a rubbish name to come up with - I'm sure they could have looked at this thread for inspiration come up with something better!

As for the Kelly v Tulisa thing, I reckon Kelly is a bit ill and they've just built a bigger story behind it to try and boost ratings.

I completely agree with whoever said having Alexandra there tonight will be just like having Alesah on SCD.

Really bizarre that one of the guys from The Risk left. I'm guessing there must have been a falling out as why else would you leave a show when you're likely to be the last group left?

Anyway, my bottom 2 prediction this week are Frankie and Little Mix. Will check back later!

If Cocky gets through to next week, as it is Guy Fawkes night, he could do Elton John's 'Song for Guy'

It's instrumental[hgrin]

That's a plan Raah. In fact, for this week, he could just read out a list of STD statistics over a gospel choir background.With flashes of symptoms cut with the rock flames on the big screen.

Or ask us all to picture him at it. That's horrific enough for me.

I believe that Nirvana royalties go to Courtney Love, which is not ideal, but better than Cowell at any rate. If there is any justice in the world then the money will go to the magnificent Dave Grohl

Now - the Strictly Hallowe'en special looks like some real effort has been made!

Just googled the song list. Actually weeing a bit at the crappy predictable choices:

X Factor 2011 song list ? Week 4

Girls

• Janet Devlin ? Every Breath You Take by Sting
• Misha Bryan ? Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson
• Sophie Habibis ? Bang Bang

Boys

• Craig Colton ? Set Fire To The Rain by Adele
• Marcus Collins ? Superstition by Stevie Wonder
• Frankie Cocozza ? Should I Stay Or Should I Go by The Clash

Overs

• Johnny Robinson ? Ole Devil Called Love by Alison Moyet
• Kitty Brucknell ? Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics (Marilyn Manson cover)

Groups

• The Risk ? Thriller by Michael Jackson
• Rhythmix -ET by Katy Perry

WTF Cock-oozer? How is that Halloweeny? Just another excuse to pretend you're a rocker? Okay then.

I can hear Janet's effort in my head and it's annoying me already.

And Biscuit Brian doing Adele . He looks like her little brother.

Howdy. Marking my place while I pop to have my tea.

I will miss this!

We are off out tonight as it is DHs 40th tomorrow. I am all dressed up in coordinating clothes and everything. Not a pyjama or fluffy slipper sock in sight.

I will catch up tomorrow and read thread at the same time. Will be here for results though. I love the Halloween week!

Marilyn Manson covers are doing well this week...although the originals were not Hallowe'eny in the slightest.

Maybe Cocky is just going to stand on stage and ask the question, rather than sing the song?

i can already hear how Johnny will sound.

And ffs- can we have a week without Katy Perry?? Please!

Evening folks.
Is it just me or is anyone else secretly pleased that things seem to be going tits up for ol mingehead. I am sick of him throwing his weight and money around. He has manipulated proceedings for years. This years xf is pretty shit. Same old hype in the papers no doubt being fed by his right hand Max Clifford.

I like a bit of Marilyn.

I think we all know the answer to The Clash's question when it comes to Cockoozer.

Quite a few of those just don't seem halloweeny at all. Am expecting another shit week.

I like a bit of Marilyn- but they can't use original MM tracks, so are using Soft Cell (which in itself was a cover) and the Eurythmics- which are the acts the majority watching will think of, so they will wonder what really makes them Hallowe'eny.

Wonder if Cocky gets irony?

I want proper, obvious Hallowe'en tracks, dammit!!

Yes, where's the monster mash?? Or even the ghostbusters theme tune?

Absolutely- bring back Jedward doing Ghostbusters.

See, this year is so bad i am getting nostalgic for bloody Jedward!![hgrin]
