She's a very tall woman, wearing heels - it needed to be floor length!!!

SparklyfestiveYellowFeathers · 20/11/2006 07:56

and shouldn't Westlife be splitting up now? They've mad every cheesy pop song going and have done that many covers. Surely its time to call it a day.

flamesparrow · 20/11/2006 09:22

Have they actually done an original song??

Had a helluva weekend, so only just managed to drop in. Watched it at my Mum's. A bit distracted, as my Brother turned up during it. Anyway, managed to see most. Here's my verdict! (For those of you that may be interested!) Was v. sorry to see Robert go, especially after my other fave, Nikitta, last week. Eton Road murdered 'don't feel like dancing' and I thought Anthony looked very uncomfortable during their first performance of it. Leona, yeah, yeah, great voice, (snore) is really doing my head in now with her 'I'm so shy, look at my coy expression' routine. Also, she really needs to prove that she's not just the ballad queen. Have a feeling she might end up in the botton two soon, as the public are going to tire of her. I don't really like any of them particularly now.

Kate Thornton needs to sack the stylist. The red dress was pretty shapeless, and shouldn't have been worn with those black tights. What's with the hair? She looks like a frog with a wig on. Still, I'd rather her than Vernon Kay any day. Declan whatsisname from Big Brother, oh, Dermot, that's it, was rumoured to be the next presenter, eye candy he may be, but I still think they should keep Kate. It just works, like Davina fronting BB and Ant and Dec with Celeb. I'm disappointed that there's nobody left on the show now that I really like. It's becoming more and more the judges slanging match show. All that is so childish, and so unrelevant.

By the way, Delta Goodrem looks better with shorter hair.

I predict Ray will be out tonight.

McDonald's look set to have a good night. I'm night shift so will miss the results!

tiredemma · 25/11/2006 16:30

apart from you mears

I actually realised that you were a fan just as I hit the post message button, I thought " s%%t, mears is their number one fan. thats me off the xmas card list!"

FrivolentDemon · 25/11/2006 17:11

pmsl They had to get the McD's to do 1000 miles didn't they

Was watching some xtra type factor in the week with Ray being scared to abseil - the rest of them down the bottom yelling "Swing Ray SWING!!!"

JoolsToo · 25/11/2006 18:56

anyone else think Ben was out of tune?

have I got wax?

McD's WERE dreary - very!

McDreamy · 25/11/2006 19:52

McD's were awful, thought Ray was too - songs too old for him. I know Leona isn't popular on here but I thought she was amazing - that Witney song is a hard song to sing and I thought she did really well. Eton Road were sadly not floating my boat tonight

PennySweets · 25/11/2006 20:14

Ben overperformed - again. Leona was amazing with the Whitney song, didn't rate her effort much on the first one, although that is an odd song. Eton Road weren't great again. I think they might go tonight. I quite liked their performance of 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' but then that is one of my favourite songs. At the risk of sounding like Simon, I thought when Ray sang 'Jailhouse Rock' he sounded like a 10 year old singing it at a family wedding.
Okay, I'm going to say it........ I quite like the McDonalds. I know they're no great shakes in the singing department, but they're really likeable. I thought they gave Eton Road a run for their money, especially with '500 miles.' That was great! DD is still singing it in the kitchen now. He's treated us to an odd dance routine too. Looks a bit like a constipated chicken... Bless him.

anniebear · 25/11/2006 20:15

Leona was out of this world tonight

she really should win

Mac Bro were not too bad!!!! Did tap my foot to their second one lol, still not winners though

Ray was good but I think he will go tonight. He will do really well on stage I think

Ben is good but I'm not keen on him

Eton Rd were good but not what a top 5 act should be like

and Louis is an idiot. All he does he have a go at Simon. Even when he is meant to be commenting on Ray he tells him that Simon isn't interested in him bla bla

I think he is dreadful and they really should get rid!

PennySweets · 25/11/2006 20:15

Meant to say DH not DD

PennySweets · 25/11/2006 20:16

Yeah, Simon and Louis have got to knock it on the head with the handbags at dawn.

anniebear · 25/11/2006 20:18

I must admit, I wasn't overly keen on Rays song, I don't like all the Elvis dance moves!!

and don't think he will record records, But will be fab on stage. He has so much enthusiasm

drosophila · 25/11/2006 20:18

I thought they were all pretty good in their own way although I think vocally I think Leona is the best if a little bit uncomfortable on stage. She does seem quite shy after she sings.

Eton road are sweet I think but it never seems to come off. I loved their Abba night. Good luck to them all! I love that song 'I would walk 500 miles'.

Anniebear, 100% agree with your comments, especially those about Louise really looks like a prize prat!

WestCountryLass · 25/11/2006 20:28

Or even Louis

anniebear · 25/11/2006 20:29

Me too !!!!!

Loius doesn't even let Simon speak, it doesn't make for good watching

anniebear · 25/11/2006 20:30

Louise lol lol Oooh funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is most prob more suited to that name lol

(I was saying "Me too" replying to the Proclaimers song!)
