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. Grin
Someone got 'Bang' and 'Band' mixed up.
The best one there is 'TBC' Grin

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

See you later.

Bring nibbles.

It was quite joyless.

The dress looked a lot better until she stood up. Her technique is not flawless, but I'm sure mel doesn't actually know what flawless technique sounds like.

NoisyBrain · 15/11/2014 20:38

I agree with Simon. I thought the end was the best bit too. When she stopped singing.

RudolphUcker · 15/11/2014 20:38

WTf is the point of a swing that doesn't swing?

BOFster · 15/11/2014 20:38

Mel looks like a linebacker in that weird synthetic fabric. Huge shoulders.

Rudy- she likes her melismas too much to go the JL route.

Enough with her fucking age, jeez.

RudolphUcker · 15/11/2014 20:39

Mineghead and I of one mind clearly

Seventeen? Thirty Piece Orchestra? Who knew?

TheJiminyConjecture · 15/11/2014 20:39

Just get the age in for bonus points

BOFster · 15/11/2014 20:39

How hard is it to sing on a swing? It wasn't a trapeze.

handfulofcottonbuds · 15/11/2014 20:39

dillite - Mel B had laser eye surgery and it messed up her left eye so she's blind in it now Sad

TheJiminyConjecture · 15/11/2014 20:39

I bet Simon has a sex swing

BOF- little mermaid is a very good description.

i wish she'd done 'Under the sea' that would have sounded ace with a big band.

Mel's dress looks like sports wear. She looks like she's going for a run in the cold.

NoisyBrain · 15/11/2014 20:39

CLUNT ALERT!

Fixerupperz · 15/11/2014 20:40

Only catching bits and Bob's tonight, I have an 11MO DD who's decided no bedtime for her!!

On BBC one the Nancies and Dorothies had to sing on a moon, didn't they? And it went UP.
Bloody ITV.

nancy75 · 15/11/2014 20:40

Bored and eaten one doughnut already, this is going to be a fattening evening

CalamitouslyWrong · 15/11/2014 20:41

Imagine the misery lamenting lozza would have turned under the sea into.

RudolphUcker · 15/11/2014 20:41

Oh, he deffo does have a sex swing. Urgh.

TheFairyCaravan · 15/11/2014 20:41

Didn't they do that when they were voted off Rudolph?

dillite · 15/11/2014 20:41

hand when did that happen? I'm sure I hadn't noticed her eye being like that before. But that could have been due to her dreadful makeup.

And they say that laser eye surgery is risk free. My ass.

Awks · 15/11/2014 20:42

I bet Simon has a sex swing too. And a Playroom with absolutely no lego in it.

handfulofcottonbuds · 15/11/2014 20:43

dillite - she had it done years ago when it was quite new. I had mine done in 2008 and have been fine. She said on Rossy that she was one of teh rare ones it messes up.

RudolphUcker · 15/11/2014 20:43

YY, but they still DID it
I just want them to bring back the ALW search shows tbh. One woman crusade.
