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.

snice- they used to do the thing where they would split them all off into different rooms. And then ditch everyone in room B. But now they have the CHAIRS.

I preferred the rooms.

Pic of Wilf in Bulldog shirt on my Profile! It came from Primark!!

DH and I watched that red oaks thing in amazon instant video . It was alright. Much better than we were expecting.

Go Wilf!

The rooms was better because it was quick and efficient.

I liked the rooms. At least on woman would fall over taking another eight contestants with her.

Wilf is rocking the bulldog shirt.

Yes, it was much easier to cull 30 people in one go.

I liked this woman.

so how do they find the spare people to be in a boy band?

I wish it was like real musical chairs and they all had to conga round the stage whilst the production crew removed a chair every time

Wilts looking so grown up now

'They are just people'

has she met Louis?

She's got a very sweet heart-shaped face. Like a little Reese Witherspoon. Although the piercings etc make me think more of Withaknife.

I liked this lass didn't I?

Eh? What? Speak up a bit duck

I think they boyband them up before/during boot camp.

Oh dear. Stage fright.

Look at those guns! I want me some of those. Singing not so great

BOF

Ok, the 'not staged' second song bit...

Bof

Someone bought her the JL Adverts album for Christmas.

Set up. She got rid of the guitar before CHezza started talking.

She does have a very sweet face.

They still only put out the same number of chairs, so a band that gets to sit on one has to decide who sits and who stands.

It was taken at Wilf's 18th with his first pint of Stella!!!!

What has happened to MelB's face?
