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.

He was very Jessie J-ish, just not as manly.

I'm hoping that when Louis inevitably (unfairly) votes off Andrea, Mel punches him

They have tried to dress Lauren as Cheryl

I suspect Simon is just excited that Fleur is a twin.

MelB is so full of shit.

Simon is in charge.

He needs a decent final. lauren won't give him that.

But...says mel, lozza go home.

Andrea SHOUTS ALL THE TIME , awful ..truly awful

Chezza's got 'I've been punched in the face' eye make up tinight.

Again with the 'peaked' mel. She doesn't realise peaking is bad, does she?

Cyclo, did a load of animals come out?

Love Andrea but his song was a rubbish choice

ONLEDEYUNG

Sir- I'm struggling to think of a song he has done that originally had a male vocal (O Holy night excepted, as it was probably a choir).

These two are getting the kiss of death from MelB and Cowell.

I miss the only the young guy

I'm concerned that Biffa is in the early stages of ebola

frozen no animals im afraid.
the crumbs are lush tho

Awww I liked Lauren cause she reminds me of DS2's friend to look at.

Off you pop, Lozza.

She'll be back to Joan Lewis the christmas ad season next year.

Cheryl is bloody miserable, isn't she?

i think Lozza could do an Ella Henderson. if she's lucky, gets some proper vocal training, she might do ok.

Her parents are splits-ville though

That's curtains for Mom and Pop then?

Lozza will be going home to the 'mummy and daddy still love you very much...' Talk.

I really hope pugsy wins, purely because it's clearly not what simon wants.

Misery chezza. No change there really.

She's 17 you know, just incase you didn't and Cheryl doesn't mention it.

Ah thank the gods she's gone. I kept thinking the cat was stuck in the dryer.
