X FACTOR - it's the FINAL (still)- Someone is going to win- most of all Simon.

[fRaahhnkincense]

Here we go, the last thread. The final curtain. No more Pugs which does mean no more Whitney, or Mariah, though. Every cloud...

A re-cap of the songs-

Ben Haenow
Song of the series: Man In The Mirror (by Michael Jackson)

Winners Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)

Fleur East

Uptown Funk (originally by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars)

Winners Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)

I do like the 'originally' bit here- like, for evermore the songs will be known as the 'Fleur East* version, or something

Rumours are Ben is now the favourite, I'm struggling to care.

Let's settle this - FIGHT!

So, for the final time, see y'all later.

is he trying to get a kleenex tissue contract out of this? Stop fucking crying!!

Dint know the song...

I like the literal acting out of the song. They should mime more. Oh, hang on...

Rather like this

Oh, I'm bored. Why is this not over?

I love Paloma too, Honey. She's ace.

The video of the original has a rabid dog.

That would be fun...

Boring song. Bit tuneless.

"I wanna live" is almost the opposite of how this song is making me feel.

I like this.

This song is shit

More wine, vicar?

Wonder if Fleur will come out in her bra singing this along with a host of backing dancers and pyrotechnics

It's not very festive

The song was only released by the original band last year - strange song choice

Will Fleur funk it up? Otherwise it isn't really her style.

She's struggling tonight is our Mel

Lahtnshade again. gets everywhere.

Ben is lovely to look at but oh my word does he ever yell his way through songs. I think Mel's illness has affected her ears too.

STOP CRYING

NO SERIOUSLY. STOP CRYING

whoever said it upthread is right-Mel B has taken her wedding ring off

He's basically made entirely of liquid.

I nearly hope Ben wins- just because Simon wants Fleur.

Will be like Will Young winning all over again

Bra rap next.
