X FACTOR - It's BIG BAND week! And we've got Mickey Bubbles..sort of...

[Raahh]

Just look at this song list

Andrea Faustini
Summertime (by Ella Fitzgerald)

Lauren Platt
Smile (by Nat King Cole)

Only The Young
I Wanna Be Like You (From The Jungle Book)

Stereo Kicks
Still TBC!

Ben Haenow
Cry Me A River (by Michael Buble)

Fleur East
Bang Bang (byJessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj)

Jay James
Empire State of Mind/New York New York medley (by Alicia Keys/Frank Sinatra)

Stevi Ritchie
Mambo Number 5/ She Bangs medley (by Lou Bega/Ricky Martin)

I'm sure an orchestra might be involved somewhere, but most of this list is frankly rubbish. Twice.
Someone got 'Bang' and 'Band' mixed up.
The best one there is 'TBC'

They are all going to be drowned out by the brass section, aren't they?

See you later.

Bring nibbles.

[Raahh]

is Tommy thinking 'Where's my fucking chocolate?'

I prefer Jl,and the amazing black and white film clip mystery.

[RudolphUcker]

Iirc the Horrible Histories boys did the Christmas Football scene less mawkishly and much better.

[NoisyBrain]

My great uncle, who was deafened by shellfire at the Somme, and who saw his best friend blown up to next to him, is no doubt turning in his grave.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

That's pretty much how I feel about it, lotta. It's just more of the same cynical shit that produced last week's offensive group sing.

[TheFairyCaravan]

They're selling the chocolate to raise money for the Royal British Legion, so as they help the Forces and their families, past and present, it's fine by me.

[Raahh]

Is Lamenting Lozza.

I love this song, though.

[SirNoel]

SCHWING

[TheJiminyConjecture]

So you know they're siblings innit

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Lamenting lozza making the song more about crying and feeling miserable than smiling.

[Raahh]

IT'S THE SWING!!

[dillite]

Pete, if you do end up going, make sure you go into the traditional cookie shop that's near the main square, the name of which I can't remember. That stuff is the best! It's sold by weight, and you will spend at least €30, if you are like me, but those will be the tastiest €30 spent.

[RudolphUcker]

And we have a swing.
Shoes? Can anyone confirm the shoes situation?

[slithytove]

I'm really starting to like lauren

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Swing and no shoes!!! It's xfactor bingo.

[dillite]

Is she wearing Cheryl's dress from the other week?

[TheJiminyConjecture]

She's like a joy vacuum

[BOFster]

This is very Disney. She's like a little mermaid.

[Raahh]

She's lucky the band are loud enough to drown her duff notes. Nearly.

[Awks]

She's not making me smile. She's making me want to stick needles in my eyes and socks in my ears.

[RudolphUcker]

NO SHOES NO SHOES NO SHOES
She missed a trick though. she could have Joan Lewised that baby RIGHT up.

[NoisyBrain]

Lol @ Jiminy

[Raahh]

it just wasn't very Nat.

[dillite]

Has Mel's left eye had some bad botox or something?
