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.

Blimey, chezza hanging out more than last night. Lots of sellotape needed there chez

That was just appalling

Harmony hairspray ?

Lauren out then i should think?

Simon wants to take Flurr to his island and give her Sinnita's palm leaf bikini

The re-caps are not great at all.

There are too many scary eyes brows. 2014- the year of the eyebrow.

Thats what is said - Norman.

Well it said Normani but that it too stupid to be true. Must be Norman.

Can you still get Harmony hairspray?

Loose Screw!

I really want to turn off whilst Screwbo is on. I couldn't stand her last year, I doubt absence has made the heart grow fonder.

Not sure, maybe in certain salons with curtains in a wavy patten. That do perms

Oh dear. All this time and the stylists still hate her.
That looks like a glittery cleaning tabard.

Love this song whether or not I like it by her is another story

Well, this is dull as fuck already.

Has she got an eye infection, or is she still Bells inflicted?

At least they didn't bring the jumpsuit out tonight

Dis that some sort of dress onsie?

Blood old Sam still doesn't look like a pop star, and is still in ineffective optical illusion wear.

I think lozza should be out tonight, although the recap reminded me of what Ben did do hallelujah.

Oh dear.

I see that Wardrobe are up to their old visual tricks then. The ones that automatically flag up the costume as "For The Portly".

Should have been poor old there.

I can't understand why screwbo won last year. She's really crap.

God this song is boring.

It's like very shit musical theatre.

i read about her 'touring with Beyonce'. She never got to meet her, strangely enough

Yep, stylist still hates her.

Poor Sam. Dull and dressed in tight fitting sparkles. Like the entertainer at The Claire's Accessories award dinner.

They will stand up and clap her still ! Dull song
