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.

That's about the most positive thing is have to say this. He's singing it like a seriously constipated man straining for a poo.

Waaay too much husky shouting

His eyebrows are just very distracting.

They look like the very hungry caterpillar- by the final they may fly off his face.

I'm not Ben's biggest fan but when he went all growly there something strange happened to my ovaries..

Ben wins.

Humblest Face competition 2014

nah, this is shit compared to his first song

I don't think Coehn or Buckley would admit to it, Bof.
Nor the 'whoayehs'

It wasn't bad.

There's certainly a lot of chat in the song about 'giving you the pain again and again' Noisy!

He didn't look as smug then

Fleur wins round 2

He's crying! BINGO!

I was just going to mention his wobbly eyebrows Raahh

Aww was that his Nan? Does he love his nan?

Aw, he should be climbing out of a McVities biscuit box.

Hallelujah doesn't need to be belted, it's not a belt it out kind of tune.

Made it your own... Louis walsh, just shut up. King of the cliches.

Ben's winning the karaoke tonight.

He shoulda sung Livin' on a Prayer, like Wills and JonBon

I want to forget that song too. Me, MelB and MelB's left tit. ONE MIND.

Mel just got bingo with 'journey'.

Mel has been playing tictacs all night with her negging, hasn't she?

Biffa loses

Ohh Ben nailed it!

We need to chart the journey of his beard- he started off with a landing strip on his chin, and now has a full on bush.
