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.

My tree went up today, so did Santas Marching Band. Which are less irritating than this crap.

She's properly Joan Lewis-ing this

This is so low.

Shoes?
Wrong key for her, innit?

Cheryl does know exactly what people want to hear: "That's it for tonight folks, please form an orderly queue when exiting the auditorium".

Damn I wish they'd put her in a mahoosive parka.

Zipped up, snorkel-stylee

They've turned the backing music right up so we can't hear her anyway. She's producing some horrible notes.

I can't take the pain either Lauren.

is it just me or is this not very clear?

Joan Lewising - a much needed term, well done that PhUcker.

God love her, bleating away like a little lamb.

Will they keep changing keys until she finds one?

Does chezza think that the public want to see the picking a fight version if stay another day, because that's what Lauren is doing here.

What dirge

That was fucking awful

This is awful.

You won't stay, don't fret, Lozza.

Mel is lying.

Those aren't boobs, those are ORBS!

Mel please, stop pulling your dress up.

Is Simon pissed?

Feeling very now................... Stay Another Day was no 1 when my son Jack died in 1994................

How the fuck has she made it this far?

Yes she can sing but not very well and nowhere near as good as over half the girls who made boot camp.

It's like watching The Parent Trap
