X FACTOR THREAD - There's MOTOWN like home....

635 replies

SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer · 03/12/2011 08:22

Well it's Semi Finals week. I'm ignoring the Mischa B thread as, quite frankly, it's a load of shite.

What's going to happen this week?

Will Amelia shout herself hoarse?

What form of patisserie excellence will Mischa B have on her head?

Could OneDirection be plugged ANY more?

Place your bets.....

1D or whatever they are calling themselves nowadays made me laugh on Alan Carr Chatty Man. When he asked them about all the girls they have throwing themselves at them Harry said 'we wouldn't want to objectify women'.

He's deep that Harry.

SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer · 03/12/2011 08:36

That's fantastic. I love how when you go on to the XFactor web site (which I was doing purely for research reasons, you understand), the first thing that appears is a picture of 1D. Who aren't even XF finalists this year.

Marking place for later.
How sad exciting!

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 03/12/2011 09:14

I saw that on Allen Carr Xmas Grin. Bless him.

thousandDenierStocking · 03/12/2011 09:32

Motown

a choice of so many incredible songs that they'll make shouty and/or turgid.

Apart from Marcus who will be AMAZEBAGS unless someone's nicked his tweezers

SjuperWolef · 03/12/2011 11:07

ey'up ladies Xmas Smile marking my place and feeling well jel of the festive names Xmas Envy

loving all the one direction coverage but im a loser who caught part of their documentary and fell a little bit in love with them all the irish one Xmas Smile hope misha goes tonight the boot.

musicmalady · 03/12/2011 11:12

can I join in?
Still grieving for Craig but liking Marcus' new look
Wondering whether Tulisa can outstrip Louis in the annoying stakes again

musicmalady · 03/12/2011 11:17

meant to say please ..
or are you all long runners?

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 03/12/2011 11:35

Of course you can join in! Lots of us have done this thread for years, but only because it's the finest bitching on the net. All we ask is that you show no pity, and have a high tolerance for smut Xmas Grin

lovecat · 03/12/2011 12:25

Place marking for tonight...Xmas Grin

Why is Amelia Lily now doing the end of the M&S ad? Is she the new fave to win? Can't stand her either, tbh. Marcus or Pickn'mix for me...

I'm expecting good things from Marcus doing Motown, Mischa B will annoy me but no doubt sing well (although if she does a smuggy/whiny Diana Ross number I may just punch the telly), dunno about LM, depends on their song and Amelia Lily will shout no matter what she's given and dress like she's run through Cyndi Lauper's wardrobe covered in velcro.

Any bets on whether Tulisa will actually know any of the songs? Xmas Grin

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 03/12/2011 12:28

Yeah, Little Mix will do something really obscure by The Supremes Xmas Grin

SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer · 03/12/2011 13:15

Are they going to do Xmas songs in the final?

OP posts:
ceebeegeebies · 03/12/2011 13:24

Ooh yes, do you think that Tulisa will assume that a Motown theme means that she can pick any song she likes and just give it a Motown-feel aka the Rock week Grin

Could we not have had 2 themes this week - 2 Motown songs each is not going to be that exciting is it?

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 03/12/2011 13:34

I wish we still had Jedward, so they could ape Jagger and Bowie covering Dancing In The Street....

Raahh · 03/12/2011 14:03

Hmmmph. Been out all day and realised we must have started threads at the same time SayCool- and mine was ignored

And there are two themes this week-(as i said on my thread not bitter Xmas Grin)- the othere theme is

'songs that will get them to the final'

yes, really.
Xmas Grin

LadyBeagleBaublesAndBells · 03/12/2011 14:07

I hope Amelia goes tonight.
I really don't like her, she's too cocky.
I read somewhere that Janet was having a go about the X Factor format, as it didn't fit her 'particular talents'.
Superior little brat.

Bossybritches22 · 03/12/2011 14:20

oooh superior bitching & high level of smut.......sounds like my kinda thread!

Xmas Grin

musicmalady · 03/12/2011 14:24

sounds good Grin

Raahh · 03/12/2011 14:44

Def want Verucca Lily to go - It doesn't seem right that she get to the final at the expense of someone else. Plus, I think she is shouty, and not in a good way.

Latest rumour is Misch is doing 'Survivor' by destiny's child- as her 'get me to the final' song. I'm always uneasy when acts sings songs made famous by one of the mentors.

BroomBuBuBum · 03/12/2011 14:53

Marking place. Hopefully will be able to join later but DD has decided bedtime is for wimps so we'll see.

Hoper veruca lily goes. Little mix to win!

MissChristmasGooseHonkover · 03/12/2011 16:27

Hello all. I have to go out tonight, so may miss the bitchfest critique.

Pah.

thousandDenierStocking · 03/12/2011 16:34

MB is doing a Destiny's Child song? Pooh, that's a bit whiffy.

Do they have a Greatest Hits out or summat?

Raahh · 03/12/2011 16:36

We will try to bitch critique constructively on your behalf Xmas Grin MissHonkover

Dh started a new job this week (which is great) but he has just realised due to his shifts next weekend he will miss the final. He is guttedXmas Grin He said I'll be fine- i'll have my 'blogging bitches' (not that I usually talk to dh when x factor is on, too busy mn'ing)

SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer · 03/12/2011 16:50

Sorry Raah Blush It must have been a real time simultaneous thread start. I checked through Telly Addicts and everything.

Apparently Little Shits are fave to win atm Confused

Broom, loving the festive name!

I want a festive name- for the past few years, i've been WeThreeKingsofOrientRaahh- but have noticed someone else has got the 'wethreekings...' pre-fix, so I will have to think of something elseXmas Sad
