Is this a joke? I thought they like him??!

And why two Irene Cara tracks?

As you can see, I've forgotten half the nicknames. I have had a long week.

Anyway, off to do some market research . See you later.

Thanks Raahh checking in early so I dont forget.

Proclaimers!? Mad choice. I also think Only The Young are going the wrong way again this week. Cheesy tunes for the second week in a row and they are too edgy for that. Louis realy doesnt know what to do with them does he. Why not Pogues or T-rex or something!?

Hahaha this is going to be brilliant! ( in a kinda so bad it's good way...)

Can't wait!

Wot no Bros ?

Gutted.

Interesting choice for Jay James (Clunt)
Unless it's this version, can imagine him singing it like this

BBQs I think you're spot on there. It sounds like something blunt would sing too.

If he sings the normal version then it's obvious they want him out.

It is guaranteed to be that version, or perhaps even a more john Lewis Christmas as version than that one. Talk about missing the point of the whole thing.

I'm dreading the fishy version of imagine too, for some reason.

I have to confess that I'm actually quite looking forward to Pugsy doing Whitney.

Please don't ban me from the thread.

Thank you, raahh!

80's night? Tis will be terriiible.

80s night! If fakey murders fame I will be

I hope clunt does sing the original so we can laugh and he can leave. He is so dull.

Fakey is going to do a hideous jazzesque version of fame. You know, the usual shite she does. It'll be the worst version of fame you've ever seen. Guaranteed.

A jazz version of Fame.

It will be all breathy, Jessica rabbit like , won't it?

And i think Fishy has been stitched up like a kipper with 'Imagine' - Cue Simon saying it's an iconic song that should never be touched with a barge pole etc etc.

'Boys of Summer' is one of my favourite songs, even if it is a bit ubiquitous. Mastrb8 are just going to shout all over it!.

And I don't think I can imagine anything worse than a JL version of the Proclaimers.

Should I know who Donny Hathaway is? (I do, but the point is- surely it's a Lennon song, or to most people a Brian Ferry one).

it's a really shit 80's selection.

"Fame....Im gonna liiiiiive foreeevvverrrrr"

Please dont.

Will the staging involve dancers on top of a yellow taxi?

Already know Fakey will be crap. Can't warm to Jay. Doesn't it help if you can actually sing ?

Can't see Masturb8 doing justice to BOS actually, I agree that they will shout all over it !

Looking forward to Pugsly, - I luffs him - but wish it was something other than Whitney.

Am annoyed at the 8pm start - I wanted my dinner at the same time but am bloody starving.

Hi everyone. Thanks again Raahh, thread hostess extraordinaire.

I'm off out for dinner (check me with a Real Life) so everyone enjoy and I'll catch up later. Won't be the same without you lot!

Hearts.

Real life!

Mind you, my sister has decided to do another Hallowe'en party- on the Saturday of X Factor Hallowe'en week. Again. The dcs are too excited to avoid it.

The more i look at this list, the more annoying it gets.

Surely 'Imagine' is really a 70's song (i know it was re-released when Lennon died, but still...).

and not only is it on at 8pm- it's on for

2 hours 20 minutes.

That's a lot of ad breaks.

That's a lot of ads. Might have to record it and fast forward through.
Added interest this year as one of the contestants is DD s school friend......might not be able to. It's tense.

Oh lordy thats long! Might watch a bit on Catch Up and start later....hmmm....but then I cant comment along on here....the choices!

Fan fucking tactic!!! I can't wait for the proclaimers song, that is one of the worst song choices ever, fab :)

I am going to start moaning about the Hallowe'en programme now - why do they never sing the monster mash? It's not much to ask.

Just had a look through the contestants, my memory is obviously on it's way out - I still don't know who some of them are

Hearts

Out to dinner ? What's that then ?

The list is annoying.

Watching SCD, someone has just danced to Bonnie Tyler. Mind you, the Strictly singers are marginally better than the rabble we are to be subjected to !

500 miles someone has pissed off simon cowell

Mrsvamos some of those strictly singers are only just slightly better

Total eclipse is another song which needs to be added to the list of songs which should never be sang on x factor again....
