X FACTOR- The LIVE shows begin. It's 80's Songs Week!

[Raahh]

As promised, here is the shiny new live show thread.

Sadly, they have not provided us with a shiny new theme

Song choices for this week are rumoured to be:

X Factor 2013 songlist – Week 1

Abi Alton – Livin’ On A Prayer

Sam Bailey – Power of Love

Hannah Barrett – What’s Love Got To Do With It

Sam Callahan – Summer of ‘69

Tamera Foster – Ain’t Nobody

Luke Friend – Every Breath You Take

Kingsland Road – I’m Your Man

Nicholas McDonald – True

Miss Dynamix – Jump

Rough Copy – In The Air Tonight

Lorna Simpson – So Emotional

Shelley Smith – Alone

So, basically it's 'The most obvious song choices from the 80's we could possibly have chosen' week. And Whitney.

I'm liking 'that shower of gobshites' for kings land road.

The fey hipster doing livin on a prayer is sure to be awful.

I'm glad I went to Aldi and bought wine and chocolate. I stopped off specially when I remembered it was the xfactor live misery tonight.

Shelley will be awful. I fear that some part of the demographic who actually phone within the 10 minutes might like mum cabaret though, and the rest of the demographic probably like that shower of gobshites.

Ain't Nobody is a classic! I love it. I would've liked to have seen them try and do I Feel for You live!

It's so shite. Why don't they cover some proper eighties music? Abit of Prince or Kraftwerk or summat? How many of us were seriously dancing to Living on a Prayer? Was that even the 80's?

Arbitrary-you are probably right.

She still looked like Lily Savage's mother, too,even after her 'makeover'

awaits flaming cos she is a mummeeee and probably lovely etc

One of my friends was a big Bon Jovi fan in high school, but not in 1986. We were all listening to agadoo and other children's party classics in 1986 (I was only 5 for most of the year).

Arbitrary-I was 14/15

Well, I for one won't flame you!

I think agadoo would be a great choice for 80's week.

Marking my place - I do love a good 'MN does Xfaxtor' thread.

DH is very 'Do we have to watch this shite if you're on t'internet at the same time?' so I don't get to contribute much

Yes, there were two DipDyed laydees. That was a description rather than a NN, cos her pic on the XF site has a DD job. Same with 'shower of gobshites' - I was just aiding the memory for y'all.

I LOVED Bon Jovi

The Hits of Black Lace would be a good theme. Except I only know Agadoo and Superman (can do all the actions)

lemon -have you explained that being on the 'internet is what gets us through it? It's like a therapy session.

I'd be fine with half of them doing agadoo and the other half tackling superman. Not as a voice style group sing though.

Before I posted on these threads while watching xfactor, I would read bit out to DH. He told me I should just talk to you lot (and he'd go and play videogames instead).

I was Quite The Hit at a Yr1 Disco for knowing all the actions to both, Raah

Is it time for the annual 'Better Theme Weeks' bit?

I need to have a chat with him about that Raahh he just doesn't get it - can't appreciate the multi tasking - it's either 'telly' or 'looking at motorbikes on ebay' - there is no in between

Actually we've forgotten so many black lace classics.

Wig wam bam
Do the conga
The hokey cokey
The birdie song
I am the music man

There's enough there for a whole black lace theme slightly later in the show when there are only 7 of the buggers left.

Yr1 Sue! I was Yr6 or 7 iirc.

The bloke from Agadoo was on one of those shite daytime shows where they judge each other's houses!

Lemon -fortunately my Dh does get it. Many years ago he coined the phrase 'blogging with the bitches'. Which sums it up

Sue - I'm now showing dd1 the actions to Superman.

'swim' 'brush your hair''skiiiiiiiiiii'

She thinks I've lost the plot.

Yep - the annual 'where is death metal week?' suggestions are needed

Hopefully, nickname allocation will become easier when we see their first performances...

Jakers, littlemiss, how old do you think I am? . I meant I was at a disco last year

Arbitrary-I'd love someone to do the Conga. Shitsinger would explode because she wouldn't have a clue what was going on

Black lace also released the aptly titled (for xfactor) bullshit. Apparently it's a version of cotton eyed joe.

I've just Googled Black Lace, who I obviously meant up there ^^, Jane McDonald was one of their hired dancers! She kept that quiet!

That 'I am the music man' twaddle. FFS.
You'd think it didn't have the capacity to be made worse, until you hear it sung by playleaders at a toddler group.
