or' Shouting and over emoting week'.

And once again, no-one is doing 'Song for Guy' Sad

Andrea Faustini
I Have Nothing

Lauren Platt
How Will I Know?

Only The Young
Something About The Way You Look Tonight

Stereo Kicks
Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Ben Haenow
I Will Always Love You

Fleur East
I’m Every Woman

Stevi Ritchie
I’m Still Standing

All the usual suspects, song-wise, are present. Even managing to shoe-horn 'I'm every woman' in, even though it's a cover.
Looking forward to Lamenting Lozza, making HWIK sound like a funeral march.

Despite the theme, I am disappointed 'Don't let the sun.' isn't the Nik Kershaw song 'I won't let the sun...' Wouldn't be unusual for Louis to completely mess up the theme, after allGrin.

And it's a double elimination. Will Melty 'still be standing' by Monday? Will the fact OTY are doing something grown up and serious for once , be their downfall?

See y'all later. I am in homework hell. Is it too early for Wine?

My eldest listens to radio one in his van out and about at work. they interviewed the daughter of the shouty man on the Sunday results show who is a big OTY fan. I was disappointed when he said he missed it!
I agree that Simon is not a Pugs fan. I wished they find more relevant artists - neither of these have had a hit in years ( yes, i know Whitney died 2 and half years ago!) these kids are too young for these songs really. Wonder if Cheryl is pregnant? Might get a decent judge next year in that case.

I don't get the constant obsession with Whitney. Yes she had a great pair of pipes and could belt out the notes but she never sang a decent song in her life.

Out of the four Whitters numbers being warbled tonight, two of them are cover versions. Says it all really.

Squoosh, yes, agree she was over rated. I prefer Dolly Partons version of i will always love you, she also wrote it too of course! Mind you, i cant sing a note so i do envy anyone who do these big songs and not sound like a strangled cat.

Evening!

I am really not looking forward to tonight. I don't like neither Whitney or Elton and find most of their songs boring. Might switch over to BBC1 later.

And 2 more leaving this weekend? Simon really wants to get rid of Stevi, doesn't he?

What the hell is Lauren wearing?

This will not surprise anyone on this thread, but I hate David guetta. His music is beyond shit.
