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.

Who are all these people that are getting touched by Pugsy?

That would be River Island circa 1992, going by the shirt.

Bring back Stevi!

I'd like to see him sing 'Nothing compares to you'. Stripped back, full emotion. I think he'd be brilliant. Love him but don't like some of the songs he's been given. He's 20 not 40!

'an X Factor classic'. Could they sully Hallelujah's reputation any more??

That's a rather shit car really.

I'd sell it!

Ah, yes. The car they registered in simon's name that he's never seen, never mind driven.

Oh, I do miss Stevi, really do.

Donna, maybe the rumours are true, who knows?

BOF- it might have been left over from Crood boy's wardrobe. He favoured jazzy prints. in ever in creasing sizes

Urgh, I don't want his old car. Imagine going over that with a black light.
And it'll have lost that new car smell. Instead it'll have a whiff of smug and mercenary that no febreeze can shift.

And big old grease marks on the driver headrest

I despise Tesco with every fibre of my being, but I always love their xmas ads

Yes Sqoosh, it's trying to distract from the self-ambulating left boob

my mum's just said "I want that steve to win"

She then admitted she was getting Ben mixed up with Steve Brookstein

And built up pedals for ridiculously short legs

Sinettas fig leaf in the glove department.

And Sinitta will have sat in the back with a thong

Frankie tell your Mum she's a lucky girl and her wish was granted in 2004

'Strangelove' on the Gucci ad, that's a proper song.

And now 'Only you' sung by cute animals on the McVities ad- far better than the show itself.

I hate that tesco ad. I bet Claire from Wigan isn't a real person.

And I don't want a box of biscuits that animals crawl out of, no matter how cute.
