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.....

I don't want Little Mix to win- I don't get the hype at all- how can anyone say they are good, when you can't really hear them? They were dreadful intheir first song last week, too

There is no sing off this week- lowest public vote goes. I think it might be Mischa, and I don't think that is right it's all Tulisa's fault

How about, OnceinRaahyalDavidsCity?

Bit of a mouthful though....

Aye, I was bored this morning too and thought, I'll just make sure Raah hasn't started a thread... Duly checked on Telly Addicts and sent mine off! TBF your opening paragraph is a lot better.....

Gutted that I might actually miss some or all of it tonight as we're going out for a meal and drinks. Although I was thinking I'd have to be sneaky about checking thread on my phone, DH just said to me, "If we eat really fast then we can catch most of X Factor at the pub."

Tis why I married him.

ChestnutsRaahhstingOnAnOpenFire?

Not convinced by my name change to be honest, will try harder.

Hey- Ghostbusters 2 is on now, that iconic movie that Marcus chose his film week song from...it's an omen

The Omen would have been better though- they could have all done a choral version of the creepy music.

evening all

ChristmasTimeMissHonkover&Wine?

ooh, I quite like OnceinRaahhyalDavidsCity- but i would prob forget how to spell it.

Am at all you people having a real life!

Hope you get to see some of it SayCool

Wonder how Herbie's Ds is?

How's my name looking? Someone said it reminded them of phlegm, and I've been called Lettletown twice already. Shall I change it? I was wondering if falalalalaaaBOF would make a festive alternative by conjuring up an image of punching annoying carol singers- whaddya reckon?

Hope Amelia makes it through. Misha i have not been able yo take to, hope she goes but what would really make my night would be for marcus to go. He does my nut in with his constant cheesy vibe. I dont buy it. Hes dated, and sooooo deeply ordinary, butlins fodder. Little mix or Amelia for me.

There is a definite Losing Interest vibe in my house regarding X-Factor.

It's been shit.

hmm, I suppose the Flehem might be a bit pheglmy. I like falalalalalaBOF what about JingleBOFJingleBOF?

BoF- your Christmas name is excellent.

Song rumours for tonight-

X Factor Week 9/Semi-final song choices

Girls

• Misha Bryan ? Dancing In The Street by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas and Perfect by Pink

• Amelia Lily ? Ain?t No Mountain High Enough by The Supremes AND I?m With You by Avril Lavigne

Boys

• Marcus Collins ? Can You Feel It by the Jackson 5 and My Girl by The Temptations

Groups

• Little Mix ? You Keep Me Hanging On by The Supremes AND If I Were a Boy by Beyonce

So Mischa isn't doing Survivor, but Little Mix are doing Beyonce- i can't see that being great.
Marcus has got a big job with Can you feel it- it's a group song, and doesn't work well solo (there will be lots of backing, I guess)

TWO Supremes songs proves they how narrow they are with their choices- there were loads of other Motown groups. And if Tulisa hadn't heard of Aretha, I'm surprised she's heard of them.

Marcus appears to have 2 Motown songs (am sure The Temptations were on Motown?)

Fairly safe bunch of choices, really.

Hello everybody!

Can't be arsed to change my name, it's fairly festive already.

Marcus is going to be in his element tonight, he's been practising for it for at least the last five weeks

I'm looking forward to Marcus, because I love him and his scousebrows.

I'll keep this name for now then, and monitor how many people call me Lettletown...jingleBOF is a good idea though- I shall tuck that up my sleeve.

My Internet connection seems woeful tonight - I may be reduced to 3G on my phone, with all the irritating fat-fingered typos that involves- send me some good vibes please! Thus is my favourite thread of the week, and it's bloody fast, so

What are scousebrows?

Still seeking a Christmas nickname....
Howdy y'all!

Evening all.

Just seen this on ITV website:

Amelia Lily ? Ain?t No Mountain High Enough and I?m With You

Little Mix ? You Keep Me Hanging On and If I Were A Boy

Marcus Collins ? Can You Feel It and My Girl

Misha B ? Dancing In The Street and Perfect

I'm like a little Smokey Robinson

Evening everyone

Sue! I was ready to call the police if you didn't show up tonight

hello all. I am going to attempt to watch X Factor, post pithy comments and wrap presents. Whilst a kitten pounces on me.

Checking in

I heart Misha, am I the only one? I like her little 'ha' with a shoulder shrug when she goes a bit gangsta. Also her voice is truly outstanding.

I am always here for the XF fred.

Been bizzy, innit. And I don't have the kind of technology that lets me update you on the move . Christmas, busy old time.

I cannot type tonight for some reason, just to warn you all know. I won't bother apologising each time, I'd be here all night....

No, there's another Mischa B fan in the house here.

I like a big ol' diva.

Diva's aren't supposed to be modest, are they? Chaka ain't exactly a librarian is she?

Awwww...I wish they were doing Smokey- love a bit of Smokey.

Marking my place
