X FACTOR- it's semi-final week- Beyonce versus Elton John

[Raahh]

Well, not literally, obviously. No fighting in the ring, Voice-stylee (my money would be on Bouncy).

No- this week, our beloved acts are performing 2 songs- a Beyonce one, and an Elton on.

Here are the songs:

Luke Friend
Best Thing I Never Had
Something About The Way You Look Tonight

Nicholas McDonald
Halo
Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Rough Copy
Survivor
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Sam Bailey
If I Were A Boy
Candle In The Wind

Whoever suggested 'Cnadle in the Wind' for ScrewLoose last week, wins the Internet. Congratulations.

Rumours abound that Duff Copy will leave. I hope not.

I'm really sad no-one is doing 'Circle of Life'. In costume

I'm off to the school Christmas fair late. I'm going to need a lot of .

Merry SchumChristmas??!

Fucking Nictionary.

I was kind of hoping that Wanger would be in a present.

I love Leona's voice but she still looks so so uncomfortable when she's moving even a bit.

It was the knicker flashing tree bit.
Who the HELL came up with the staging?

See, MrsDeVere. I told you that the staging would be shocking. The xfactor never disappoints us with the things it forces professional singers to do.

Do you think all the Xmas trees are now all sitting backstage, not even speaking or looking each other in the eye?

Just sharing the shame...

Fariplay to her for managing to sing the song without falling in to a heap of laughter on to the floor like the rest of us!

I'm not sure it's the moving around that made Leona look uncomfortable there. Imagine how uncomfortable you'd be surrounded by all that, having just got rid of your toilet roll fairy outfit.

Just turned on-that was like a Christmas trip

Reckon they've all been at the mule buns

But seriously how DO you distract yourself from that?

Glad you agree MDV I have said something similar on my FB!

That was as if Leona's record company told her she needed to release an album, so she thought sod it and came up with one in 5 mins

MrsDV- Leona did very well not to point and laugh. .

Poor tree people. The lengths these show biz types will go to to get an equity card.

We need a tree emoticon.

ooh, mickey at Iceland.

Someone came up with this idea in the pub. At chucking out time.

I don't know if I've lost respect for Leona because of that hideous performance, or if I have more of her for getting through it like a true professional and even managing to smile at the end and look like she was enjoying it.

I bet they don't do that to buble.

Mickey Bubbles.

Say I love her, because she knows how humiliating it is to just put yourself out there, and get seen. Even dressed as a loo roll cover.

Mickey! SCREAM!!

Tbh, I couldn't comment on Leona as I was too distracted by the Christmas trees. Maybe they should have used that staging for the contestants last night.

It was much funnier when we thought Bubbles was a serial killer

PLEATHER TUXEDO!!!

Does Buble sing the same song every year?

They could have given duff copy Christmas tree outfits.

He's certainly looking err 'healthier' nowadays
