X FACTOR- and it's Whitney versus Elton week. A.K.A 'Melisma' week...

[Raahh]

or' Shouting and over emoting week'.

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

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 all.

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 ?

[dillite]

Is today actually Sunday?

[BOFster]

We are at the business end far too often on X Factor. Those dancers need to be rehabilitated.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

They seem to have mixed things up, because it's been crap. Not sure that changing how a one comes on stage could help with that.

[Raahh]

I'm tempted to vote for Stevi.

Here we go- Morbid Mary.

[RudolphUcker]

It's Lauren. She's going to sing stuff sloooooowly

[dillite]

Lauren is so dull. She bores me to death.

[Giraffeski]

Hello! And today I am watching with a new giraffelet!

[Raahh]

She can move?

Surely it would be better to prove she can sing first?

[RudolphUcker]

She must be near the bottom. Why are they wheeling on the brother?

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Worse, she's going to sing slowly and then speed up and dance. With her brother.

[RudolphUcker]

S'right, Giraffe. Start em young.

[dillite]

Does it mean you've had a baby Giraffe? Congratulations!

[Giraffeski]

Here he is!

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Excellent, giraffe.

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

Yay! Congrats Giraffe.

Any pics?

[Raahh]

Well she's started off with the intention of out- Warbling Whitney.

IT will get faster, won't it?

[RudolphUcker]

We've not had inappropriate sibling interaction since Same Difference. Splendid.

[BOFster]

Ooooo, I have NEWS!

I saw in our local rag that Fishy Lola is doing the Christmas Lights at......BOOTLE NEW STRAND SHOPPING CENTRE!

That will get the stampede going for, um, Peacocks and Home Bargains then.

The glamour.

[dillite]

They stole M&S dancing ladies in a SOHO themed house idea.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Did anyone else think Lauren was surprisingly pleased to see her wee brother. I mean, how excited can you get as a teenager aboit your brother?

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

So cute.

[Raahh]

Ohhh!! Gorgeous baby, Giraffes.

is his name Simon or Stevi?

[squoosh]

I only guessed creepy little Ray Quinn was 2006! Can't believe I was right.

Does that make me a superfan too?

Waaaaaah.

[AWholeLottaNosy]

Well all I can say is sack the stylists..!

[dillite]

She's boring even when singing a bit quicker than slow.
