X FACTOR 8pm- and this week the theme is 'Reinventions' a.k.a 'making it their own'.

[Raahh]

Rubbish. And will probably produce a lot of John Lewis ad type versions.

And there is an overload of of mash-ups.

Here are the songs they are singing.

THE BOYS
Seann Miley Moore : California Dreamin' - Mamas & Papas
Ché Chesterman : You Can't Hurry Love - The Supremes
Mason Noise : Teardrops - Womack & Womack

THE GIRLS
Lauren Murray : Hold Back The River - James Bay
Louisa Johnson : Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Kiera Weathers : Return Of The Mack - Mark Morrison
Monica Michael : Crazy In Love - Beyoncè

THE OVERS
Anton Stephans : All About That Bass / Bang Bang - Meghan Trainor / Jessie J
Max Stone : Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole / Louis Armstrong

THE GROUPS
Reggie 'N' Bollie : What Makes You Beautiful / Cheerleader - One Direction / OMI
4th Impact : Sound Of The Underground / Boom Clap - Girls Aloud / Charli XCX

Lots of interesting choices- smell a rat that Lauren is the only one who has been given something current in her group- and Kevin has been stitched up like a kipper with 'Return of the Mack'.

I might miss the beginning, as I have said I will go to a firework display. It's raining- I hope it carries on

See y'all later

I'm having the pre-cringe at Anton doing All About That Bass

Noel- I know- all that gurning and eye-popping. I know they are supposed to be taking songs they probably wouldn't usually do apart from the Binbags, can't tell me that they've not performed those before] but Anton's are a step too far.

Ooooh thank you interesting mash ups!

People rarely nail Beyoncé songs. I don't like that Monica girl. She comes across as very entitled.

I do feel that 4th impact do struggle with songs that are not Arianna grande like.

Marking place for later

Not around , working tonight, but will catch up in the week.
Sound a bit dire, seann doing old sixties hits, he is just too young!
( I hate most 60s stuff myself though)
Hope binbags are binned. Just to see Si look upset mostly..
Agree about Bey numbers, hard to sing ( and listen to)
Have a good night xx

Hmm.

I wonder if Louisa's Billie jean will be breathy slow, or fast and moon walking going on with a hat and one glove?

I think it'll be a cover of Chris Cornell's (awesome) cover that was also covered by someone who won American Idol a few years ago. I do like Louisa though so hope she doesnt butcher it

Thanks Raahh! Interesting song choices there

Need you are right, he did mess it up at bootcamp! Maybe he wants to prove he can do it.

Thanks Raahh there is some potential for disaster there I fear.

I might be out for some of it but surreptitiously checking the thread on my phone

Signing in early this week!

The theme is exactly the same as last week but by a different name!!! Do they think we're daft? Last week was "how they would do it if it was their show" also AKA "Making It Your Own."

I hope Max Stone doesn't do another bloody reggae version!

Well, if it's a double elimination, then I think Keith is definitely going to go. She has an ok voice, but doesn't connect with anyone. I want several Lauren or Mason to go and 4 Binbags but don't think they will.

Maybe Reg and Bollie will go. Will be funny to see Chezza left wt the mercy of the Binbags

But Anton might be utterly shit- and could be in trouble.

Let's face it- any of them could go.

I can't imagine Kiera singing "Return Of The Mac" .

I'll go and get me mac, more like.

In funnily enough, the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' is reggae. So, he will have to do it as a rock version to be 'making it his own'

Which won't happen.

Aha! Found you all. I do like Che but really not too sure about reinventing "You can't hurry love"... please don't slow it down or put him in figure-hugging sequins!

I doubt MasonAnnoys has everheard of 'Teardrops'. It was a duet- maybe his glittery cardi wearing mate will come back?

I was gutted that Alien went last week. And yet they always save the boring, dull singers. And those other poor girls dressed like toddlers with the big bloody bows stuck everywhere.
Why do they make them sing old songs that just don't suit.

Oh God, the old toddlers singing Girls Aloud? I've got to watch this pissed. A bit like Simon.
