X FACTOR- The LIVE shows start this Sat/Sun, 8pm. But there is no Hallowe'en theme..

[Raahh]

...which is a bit rubbish. Pugsy painted gold was one of the highlights of last year.

The theme is 'This is Me'. . So, plenty of scope there for 4th Omelette or whatever they are now called to shoe-horn a routine they have already done , into the theme. The songs are supposed to reflect who they are.

here is the song list

Mason doing 'Sorry' is quite funny.

So- I am not going out tomorrow after all and will have trick or treating done and dusted before it starts.

I hate this song, she is basically just a stalker. Bugger off and get over it love! Actually preferred this version to her maudlin ]whining

I hope they re-do Rita's make up in the break. I can't look at that until half past ten.

It was shouty wasn't it? He looked like he needed a poo the whole way through it too.

Cheryl looks nice.

Even if she does like she's wandered off the set of The Colby's.

Fairy I was just thinking the same - the make up is so bad I want to rub it off

Does Simon just hate him??

I think Chezza looks like she's come as Christmas

I'm sure it's been said before but Grimmy has a touch of Alan Partridge

Fairy I'm itching to put some lipstick on Rita. Invisible lips are not a good look!

Cheryl looks weird I think.

I like Max so I am biaised

Droopy

I think Chezza looks about 10 years older than she is. Which is not what she wants at her age.

Oh no- I really don't get Alien at all.

And they are already dictating what they sing?

What kind of name is Alien bloody Uncovered?

They really are trying to be the new Pussycat Dolls. Oh dear.

Considering the number of acts there are, all this filler is going on a bit. What time does it end? Midnight?

Chezza seems to be going for the royal look a la Princess Grace of Monaco type thing

(disclaimer, I've been drinking too much wine so ignore most posts from now on!)

I wish they wouldn't bother with all this behind the scenes stuff.

I hate hate hate this. I am old. I am boring. I give up.

Never liked this song.

There are a lot of people on stage- is that to distract from the performance?

Rousette there can never be too much wine when watching X Factor!

What am I watching? I feel soiled

I don't like these. I'm too old, I fear.

Well, dd1 is only 9, and she thought that was pants.

It was like a Canestan advert.
