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.

What is this shit?

She's way prettier than she is talented.

No white polo necked choir for this one then? !

Fleur is wearing her best nylon granny pants and bra with an ostentatious belt.

If she's too hot, they'd better turn the lights down. She certainly can't take any more clothes off.

i liked this when I heard it first time.

Talking of funk, watched a great Prince documentary last night. Now that's what is missing from this.

Props for her for dancing in those heels though!

Dopey Lemurs give swats?

She reminds me of Christina Milian

It's a terrible song.

11 yo ds has been merrily coping Fleurs dance moves. He is wearing a hoodie and boxers.

I may have laughed till I snorted

Mel needs to sort out her boobs.

Mel is starting to look really upset at her left boob's attempts to escape her dress.

Pleather knocker- dress and pants.

The voice speaks for itself huh

They all received Simon's email 'STAND AND CHEER FOR FLEUR OR ELSE YOU GET THE CHOP'.

Fleur is SO DULL.

It's funny how some many people get offended by Breastfeeding but not by women getting everything out on the TV!

Raah I watched that Prince doc too. There was also a great doc later about funk. And I'm sorry but that was FUNKY!!!

Do you think producers can update Louis's motherboard with some new stock phrases before the next years series come out? He could do with some new phrases.

Is chezza's friend who isn't from here her husband?

Didnt know that song but liked it. Interesting they have 2 teenagers but are pushing one of the Overs as more funky.

Melb's left tit is the fifth judge. And it's trying to leave.

Short memory there Biffa- you don't remember

MELTY FACE RITCHIE

Top three, eh? Pipped by Wagner's Vida Loca, no doubt.

Oh FFS, I'm going to mute it if they keep pretending Fleur is the new Janet Jackson. I agree with squoosh (again). She's not half as talented as she looks

That wouldn't even be in the Top 3 performances at my local community hall's talent show..
