X FACTOR! 13/9- Tonight we are in the ARENA!! (spoilers, and all that, just in case...)

[Raahh]

Sadly, it's not the type of ARENA with lions and men in skimpy loin cloths.

Instead, we have contestants we have already forgotten, singing again (probably with a loud backing track and auto tune).

The acts will be singing:-

BRADLEY DENHOLM
Let Me Entertain You- Robbie Williams

BABALOLA EHIDIAMEN
It Will Rain – Bruno Mars

JAMES GRAHAM
I Can’t Make You Love Me – Bonnie Raitt/Adele

JALE ANTOR
Crazy Stupid Love – Cheryl ft. Tinie Tempah

THE COURTESANS
Delilah – Tom Jones

REBECCA JONES
Moon River – Andy Williams

CHARLIE BROWN
All I Do – Stevie Wonder

STEVIE TENNENT
Feeling Good – Michael Buble

PAUL AKISTER
Let’s Get It On – Marvin Gaye

LAUREN PLATT
How Will I know – Whitney Houston

INDIANA Ifill
I’m Going Down – Mary J Blige

LOU BOU
Pretty Hurts/Partition –Beyoncé

KIERON WINTER
Let her Go – Passenger

AMY CONNOLLEY
Greatest Love of All – Whitney Houston

We have Mickey Bubbles!

And some one daft enough to sing a Chezza song (which was bad enough to start with).

And not one but TWO Whitney songs!- We are being spoilt this week.

Bring and and and ear plugs.

It was only one singer between ad breaks again!

But how LUCKY was she to have her dad & mum there to support her like that? Mine wouldn't have let me anywhere NEAR such a competition, nevermind turn up and act normal & genuinely interested & supportive

It's not going in the bin. I shall successfully find a non ironic way to wear it. Oh yes.

123

Has anyone else just witnessed that Diesel aftershave advert?

I drove a Kia picanto once. It was terrifying trying to get on the motorway in something with so little acceleration. And you have to change down to 4th gear if you wanted to go up a hill.

I'm hungry bored of X factor

The post apocalyptic one hot?

I'd rather lick a Glastonbury toilet clean than watch that Cilla biopic.

It's all out of time

Horrible evil woman at Hollywood funeral hat on the other girl they showed twice there.

Yay! nasty Mel!

I love 'I'm Goin Down', word to the wise though, don't sing it if there's a man in the room. They get far too hopeful.

Yeah well Going Down is the only way you're going through to the next round I think

Me too, squoosh. Does anyone want yo watch a villa biopic?

That's the one CWrong. I just wanted to check I hand imagined it.

Shiny tights eeeeek! Her poor thighs are dying to escape.

Not an easy song.

Sung really badly.

Yes squoosh- I'm very conflicted. LOVE Sheridan Smith, LOATHE Cilla. I can't watch them make her look good.

I won't be watching Cilla for the same reason I wouldn't watch the Thatcher film. I think I'd top myself if I caught myself having an ounce of empathy

'They all say that you know'. Arf.

Oh, don't beg love.
Just don't.

That trouser suit is hideously unflattering.

Doin' it for the kids.

Excellent.

Oh, these are the kids who added twenty years to this girl's face.
