X FACTOR- this week the theme is 'Love and heartbreak' <yawn>

[Raahh]

Really? They can't come up with anything better?

Here is what the remaining acts are singing-

The Boys
Ché Chesterman: Yesterday - The Beatles
Mason Noise: Jealous - Nick Jonas

The Girls
Lauren Murray: We Belong Together - Mariah Carey
Louisa Johnson: Let It Go - James Bay

The Overs
Anton Stephans: One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men

The Groups
Reggie 'N' Bollie: Dangerous Love / Shut Up And Dance - Fuse ODG / Walk The Moon
4th Impact: Ain't No Other Man - Christina Aguilera


I can't help feeling the 4 Binbags have been given something they know inside out.

No less than 2 Mariah tracks- I think Anton might be in trouble - hear the comments already 'that was a very obvious choice there, Simon' etc. Simon is down to one act and pissed off.

Surprised by the James Bay choice, it's a nice song, but not that well known.

And only the other week, I said SpunkyMason looked liked Nick Jonas- spooky.

DD2 and are are both ill- but we will soldier on. I will be back with lemsip and cake later.

Ahh thanks Raahh I missed great chunks of last night due to tantrumming kids!

[motheroreily]

Anton defended himself then grimmy said "don't be aggressive" in a very passive aggressive way. Just like someone that says something horrible and says "just being honest".

If Reggie n Bollie win,i cant see them doing ' the climb' to knees up mother brown somehow!
Have to be a new winners song..

[Raahh]

The winner's song is Dylan's 'Forever young' , 80's. Which I really can't see them doing at all. And maybe it's why they needed rid of Anton, what with him getting on a bit

Can next week be ballads week? See if the Binbags and RandB can actually sing without either hoards of dancers, or a finely honed routine.

When is it Big Band Week? I always like it when they do Christmas songs in one of the last week but I don't think they did it last year.

[The80sweregreat]

Hmm, forever young reg n bollie style!
Has louisa written all over it.

[Raahh]

Pickle proper themes seem to have been ditched these days . I loved Big band- and I think the last time they actually did Christmas songs may have been when the Lidl Muffins won.

80s - it does have Louisa stamped on it- and the article I read was headed by a picture of her, too. Spookily.

[The80sweregreat]

Its a fix.. ( as if thats news really)
Stritcly is fixed too. Crying in my tea tonight..

That half wig on Rita's head was done badly. I watched the extra factor for the first time this year and it comes across as really fun.
