'And I'm telling you' should be banned from these shows. It's becoming as ubiquitous as Simon's white t-shirt. And as boring.

I had 2 glasses of for the first time in 6 months last night. I feel dreadful today- so I'm sticking with the peppermint tea.

Anyone want a Haribo Minion?

See y'all later...

We are watching, he really thinks that he is talented.

Are me and the husband the only ones that winced and cringed through Wild Horses? We thought he killed i, couldn't believe the judges thought he was amazing.

Bam- he was terrible- and as Squoosh pointed out, the arrangement he was using was more the Subo version than the Stones- it was about as rock as a marshmallow. With growly bits. it seems than growling and grunting are what the blokes do to sound 'rock', same as the women warble and shout to sound like Whitney

The song choices for tonight don't look any more promising

TWO Jessie J songs!!
What have we done to deserve that?

Ah, I like All Of Me. Wannabe though?! Hmm

Singing Wannabe is just asking for trouble

I wonder if he may be more aquainted with the Buffy the Vampire version of Wild Horses (can't recall who did it, a woman, quite a good version, played at Buffy's prom and on a CD of Buffy music).

Where I was, we all thought he had a potentially good blues voice. And he is a Croydon lad :)

They seemed girl heavy, maybe they had to put him through to even things up a bit - and he looked ok.

I was confused when he started singing Wild Horses, I'd got my songs confused and thought he was going to sing crazy horses

That accent and Chloe's whole demeanour seem totally fake, to me.

Crazy horses would have been great

Raahh , I was singing Crazy Horses to DH, I was like you know the one, crazy horses then did the high pitched noise...
He was wtf!

Jill that's because she IS a massive fake, that's why.

It would have been so much better with high pitched horse noises....and 70's flares.BBQ - it would have been AMAZING.

Sadly it was not amazing- it was shouty and growly.

Bam- tonight's seems to have more blokes on.

Although, much as I like 'All of me' by John Legend, it is becoming something of a fixture on shows like this.

I couldn't find you for a minute.

I quite like this man!

Charlie will so get through.

He looks like he was made in a lab that produces boy band members.

Weak.

He's nice isn't he?

Totally ignores the fact I have a 19yo in the Army!

Ha Mel B

Argh late to the thread as I am making my dinner. What am I missing?

Right- here we go.

Mel said no?

She's drunk???

Love Dermott's face!

He was on Xtra last night!

Nice tinfoil.
