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.

I want him to stay. If he's in slippers and pegged trews now he will deffo graduate to some sort of tartan/pleather combo.

I love the Bluntster but this guy? No

I don't like him either. I think he's an arrogant tosser, tbh.

Interpreter of songs? It was just as dull as when it was written.

RF is from Liverpool!

It's not him that's captivating Louis, it's his slippers.

New Matt cardle. Like we need another

Chezza fancies him.

I like James Blunt only because of his comebacks to twitter hecklers:

"Damn thing's always getting caught under my feet. RT @laurenlyall: Why does James Blunt sing like his willy is being stood on?"

They have t-shirts. with his name on.

Not a dog in sight

If only it was actually like someone swallowed someone else.

Righty ho see you for next weeks thrilling instalment

well we all know what happened to Matt the Hat...

I hope wearing your gran dad's slippers as shoes is not a thing. I fear a room full of students in slippers next week.

BOF

Are they back to ROOMS next week? I'm lost.

Same time, same place....

Arf. Apparently one of the gay clubs round here is featuring xfactor finalist failures 2010 this winter. First up FYD in October (I can't remember who that is either). Somehow I doubt the wandies will be putting in an appearance.

Students in slippers, without socks.

Would be like the Waitrose cheese counter.

Sadly I've never frequented the waitrose cheese counter.

(Cal, me neither- but Asda only do Cheddar, I figured Waitrose might do something whiffy)

DH makes me watch x factor on catch up so I always miss the threads I read all your posts as we are watching the acts and it is amazing how often I have just been thinking the exact same thing.

Too many copy cat acts this time around. I liked Puggles and the very, very nervous girl. Not Another Direction or James Blunt II.

Or James Matthew Blunt-Cardle, to give him his full name

Although on reflection I think Cardle-Blunt sounds better.

The fenwicks cheese counter does a good line in whiffy cheese. Although, I hate whiffy cheese.

I think Cardle - blunt would be better known as clunt. Or something which sounds similar.
