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. Flowers

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

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

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

I'm sure the little thin one was actually IN Boys II Men was he not?

All Luke's songs sound the same! Timeless, strained & out of time.

Think Luke will go home, so each judge still has an act in the final

CalamitouslyWrong · 08/12/2013 20:50

They chose this so the judges could make puns about it not being the end of the road for them.

Scarletohello · 08/12/2013 20:50

Well hopefully on the basis of that last performance, rough Copy is through....at least they're in tune, even tho they are singing a naff Boyz2 Men song!

SuePurblybilt · 08/12/2013 20:51

Have you noticed, every time they go for a high note, they point upwards?
I think it's a cunning trick to make us believe they got up there.

But 'End of the road ....' could be prophetic....

Why don't they all wear matching suits? Much smarter.

They may be in a tune, it's not the right one.

KieranTheFlutterbug · 08/12/2013 20:51

Jesus. That was rough alright. My poor bleeding ears.....

JoyeuxNoelHeadbands · 08/12/2013 20:51

What a sing off indeed Dermie.

LadyBeagleEyes · 08/12/2013 20:52

The duffers will be the most successful of the lot I think, even if they don't win.
I wonder who will buy Sam's first Album.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 08/12/2013 20:52

Sue Grin Definitely!

CalamitouslyWrong · 08/12/2013 20:52

I do think it's ironic that the girls all went out first given how much fuss was made about the girls being the good category at the start, and the disproportionate air time they got.

awww, poor Crood. I do feel for him. He was the very first act we saw...all those years months ago ...

OP posts:
JoyeuxNoelHeadbands · 08/12/2013 20:53

But I do like Crood and the Duffers

CalamitouslyWrong · 08/12/2013 20:53

Children will buy screw loose's album for Mother's Day and their mothers will force a smile and pretend they like it.

SuePurblybilt · 08/12/2013 20:54

How on earth does one suck arse? All of it at once?
Shazza will opt out

squoosh · 08/12/2013 20:54

I hate when they opt for fecking deadlock!

CalamitouslyWrong · 08/12/2013 20:54

Deadlock. What a surprise!
