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's disappointing Mama and papa aren't wearing Pug shirts- but there is still time.

I don't care what canine his care is for.

Oh stop that silly kissing,Mum.

If he ends up in pleather you lot are my alibis

Its a BULLDOG shirt!!! Wilf has the same one!!!

I don't get Pugsley I'm afraid! I don't see the attraction.

He can actually sing.

You know, given how much they must have actually filmed, I really wish they'd actually show us some of the ARENA auditions rather than padding out the 4 people they show.

I think they are saving 'Poodles in Pleather' as the name for the made up girl band.

I want the live shows to feature dancing dogs and pleather and barefoot wistful girls and camp men in pleather and people singing songs that are usually fast in a slow way and songs that are usually slow a bit quicker and people standing on boxes, in boats, on swings on roller blades...

Maybe they'll give us actual poodles in pleather in the place of 5 humans they decided should be a band. It might be an improvement.

it is pointless really . before they brought back 'The Room' all the acts were auditioning in an ARENA stylee 9or mid sized theatre). Now they just get 2 goes.

snice- Do not even joke about such things

I think the producers failed to grasp that no one was all that fussed with the arenas. We'd have happily seen them dropped.

Here is poodles in pleather.

Naffest group name EVAH

Have we seen this lot before?

So, they have simply changed the colour of their outfits.

This is better?

BOF- I don't remember.

I feel like I've missed something.

I hate this.

Oh ROUGE kiss? I thought they said RUDE Kiss.

Very contemporary.

Mel should like this.

Work with? They were dire!

WTF was that?

One of them is wearing tin foil.

Oh pick out one and only let her through. She can be poodle in pleather. Since it's all dog analogies tonight.

Yorkshire terriers.

It's dog week!

Woof!
