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.

what's up with MEL'S bulgy earlobe? That's what's scaring me.

Oh, Boffles, I found your box UNPOSTED today. In my defence I have moved house (and your box). And you will be fine on t'motorway. Fine.

I love Bonnie Raitt singing that song. Makes me feel those emotion thingies other people sometimes mention.

Shall we add "I don't think you know how good you are" to our bingo sheet?

Thanks Weasel

One song before the ad break. Gotta love how the xfactor strings it out. Imagine how bad it will be if they do 3 shows a week.

Yes, all women should be completely hair-free at all times.

I like driving on the motorway at night. It's usually big and fairly empty.

Is Melb Tach-y?
Maybe the same make up artist that drew Chezza's cheekbones on with a sharpie had a go on her upper lip?

But squoosh did stupid hair boy's version have that effect on you?

Thought not.

Dad dancing in a furniture shop. Bizarre advertising strategy there.

Hello! I'm here, just ff through the 17 year old.

Underwhelmed so far.

I didn't watch XF last year, what's the arenas thing?

MANY people have not know how good they are (were?) this series.
I think it's subliminal advertising for the Wandies. They also don't know they're beautiful.

Evening slithy. The arenas is basically them singing in a big room. It serves no purpose at all really.

Darn it, missed the start- gimme a quick storysofar.....

Rudy

Has your woman got cling film round her belly?

Why did they let this one through.

Chezza eye make up is doing my nut in. Can someone give her a food scrub please?

I like driving on the motorway at night too. Its the lanes round here I dislike, there's too many animals!

Good scrub

Oh no, foolish of me. She's taped a picture of a flower to her lower back.

I don't know why Cheryl looks so horrified about all this. It's not like it reflects on her at all.

I don't think it's cling film, more like duct tape

Oh it is tape! I was being facetious
