X-FACTOR!! THE FINAL!!(part one) -who is going to win?!

[Raahh]

Obviously, Verucca -if all the fix stuff is to go by (although Kelly is supposed to be hoping she doesn't win, as it will make her look stoopid for chucking her off in the first place)

I want Marcus to win. Lidl Muffins at a push (but I don't think singing with Tulisa will help them!)

It's going to be crap, without 'proper' guests, isn't it? And dragging it out over 2 nights...

So here we are, after all these months part one of the X Factor final!

I didn't realise they were dragging it over two nights.

Dueting with the judges- top idea, they've never been able to do that before because the judges were non-singers.

But now Cheryl's gone so?

cheryl wouldn't have shared her earwax with her acts, let alone sing with them.

ilm still hoping that loius and johnny get together. They'd be a ovely couple

that's my on a tangent thought

Why was that woman lying on a horse?

The decision to duet with their own acts was decided after Louis lost all his, apparently. Nothing to do with the fact they couldn't get any acts to duet with them!

I am loving the thought of Louis, arms stiffly by his sides, leather shoes laced up to his knees, doing a little dance.

sicky the only song I've heard her sing is an N dubz song which is only two different notes....so probably.

Is one going tonight?

Louis would have been flustered and had to bring out all his Big Distracting Techniques. Stools, dinner jackets. Extra accent, quirky eyebrows. Worked for the boybands, I feel he may have struggled.

It would have been amazing.

I will punch the next person that says mash up. Fact.

The duet thing...well last year was pitiful especially the Rhianna one with the cardi.

Louis could have done his trademarked leprechaun impersonation. Would have been telly gold.

He could have done "when a child is born" like a little Johnny Mathis.

It would have brought a tear to a glass eye, that.

Thanks dermot

She sang on CIN. It wasn't bad. Dull

Snorts at Cardie and RiRi

MASH UP

at my daughters school play, the shepherds sang a Westlife style song, with key change, on stools.

I said on the other thread that Funnybones and Louis could have done People Will Say We're In Love and I stand by it. Would have rocked

i know we're waaaay better, but wagner is blogging the guardian's commentary on this tonight.

What's the betting Robbie makes a surprise appearance halfway through Marcus's performance?

Gary will NOT let Marcus win this one.

Ambitious bastard will sing him off the stage.

He'll piano play him into submission.
