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

[SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer]

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.

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!

I saw that on Allen Carr . Bless him.

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

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

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 hope misha goes tonight the boot.

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

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

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

Place marking for tonight...

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?

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

Are they going to do Xmas songs in the final?

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

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

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

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 )- the othere theme is

'songs that will get them to the final'

yes, really.

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.

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

BBL

sounds good

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.

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!

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

Pah.

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

Do they have a Greatest Hits out or summat?

We will try to bitch critique constructively on your behalf 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 gutted 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)

Sorry Raah 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

Broom, loving the festive name!

SayYule- spooky, isn't it? There was I thinking I was being a saddo starting so early- and there were two of us!!

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 else
