X FACTOR - It's the semi final- and hurrah!- they are singing CHRISTMAS songs!

[Raahh]

because they didn't last year, or the year before. And for once, I think Pugsy has got totally the right song (am biased because it's my favourite, and i think it will suit him). His second song, however, I am less happy with.

Here are the songs-

Andrea Faustini
O Holy Night by Mariah Carey
Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus

Lauren Platt
Stay Another Day by East 17/Girls Aloud
Story Of My Life by One Direction

Ben Haenow
Please Come Home For Christmas by The Eagles
Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Fleur East
All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey
Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson

'Stay another day' for lamenting Lozza is inspired- dirgy enough to slow it down to snail's pace, and lots of puffa jackets, 80's fashions for the dancers/ choir.

I'm not sure about Ben's at all- but at least they haven't attributed 'Hallelujah ' to Burke.com. I like the Eagles- but there are so many great Christmas songs to choose from...

Fleur has Mariah- not really her style. And the Mark Ronson track is very new, so the audience might not know it. It is ok, though.

Ohh it's getting exciting. wonder what Louis will be saying, now he doens't have an act, and doesn't care?

See y'all later.

Not a great song choice for this thread really, was it?

Sorry lottie and fairy.

Hey, do you think that the ITV bosses have listened to us about the dancers' costumes?

Polo neck jumpers and sensible trousers. I likeee.

That's some lovely gold lipstick

Oh, wait, silly me. The real singers stay off stage. There;s a fake sleigh of popsies in their pants making sex faces on the ACTUAL stage.

Mr Bean again

I agree about the polo necks, Rudolph. But nice to have women in clothes.

They've gone all out on the staging for this. He's taken up the whole building.

Lottie

Are the dancers supposed to look naked from the waist down?

Oh, hang on, I missed the bevy of beauties in the sleigh

That was all very dated, wasn't it?

Just think, SMugnow could've been in the jungle with Edwina Currie fawning all over him if he'd have gone earlier.

I bet Ben will win the show.

That annoys me, but then again, imagining any of them winning annoys me.

I'd fawn all over him.

Oh, I don't blame them. Polo necks are evil and hate all wearers.

Thankyou ladies.

Yes, giraffe. I'm sure they are supposed to look naked.

Who cares if you sat next to him at a charity function and thought he was nice?

I see one thing when I look at this man.

Steve. Brookstein

Cheryl's really rocking that tit tape.

Lottie, made me cry. So sorry.

He looks so needy.

Get rid. He's starting to look like Steve Brookstein.

We all blame the stylists for the polo necks, Rudolph. The xfactor stylists have a lot to answer for.

s'only a matter of time before he does praying hands
