X FACTOR -it's the Quarter Final- and this week they are singing they are singing TWO songs each.

[Raahh]

Heaven help us.

Apparently, one song has been chosen by the public (when? how? ) and the other by their mentor.

Here they are-

Ché Chesterman
Hello - Adele (chosen by the public on Twitter)
Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding (chosen by Nick)

Lauren Murray
Firestone - Kygo ft. Conrad Sewell (chosen by the public on Twitter)
You Don't Own Me - Grace ft. G-Eazy (chosen by Rita)

Louisa Johnson
Love Yourself - Justin Bieber (chosen by the public on Twitter)
Jealous - Labrinth (chosen by Rita)

Reggie 'N' Bollie
Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) - Silentó (chosen by the public on Twitter)
Dynamite - Taio Cruz (chosen by Cheryl)

4th Impact
I'll Be There - Jackson 5 (chosen by the public on Twitter)
Fancy Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani & Eve VS Iggy Azalea & Charli XCX (chosen by Cheryl)

NIce to see mash-us haven't been forgotten - it's a typical Binbag choice.

From the choices- Ché has the best of a very bad bunch, imo. I love 'Try a little Tenderness'. But I get the feeling he may over do it.

I am still recovering, and feel like I have been run over by tram. Plus I made the mistake of going Christmas shopping. I had to buy Ariana Grande perfume for my niece.

See y'all later

Raahh I bet you can find the track listings of the select albums, find the songs and burn them to a CD.

Look at us saddos, reminiscing about REM, James, Select, NME, MM - the FARM- all the greats!

And on an X Factor thread...

Next week is semi final surely?

thered- probably. That would be great.

There you go Raahh enjoy.

Hi all, had a whizz through last nights offering then read your comments!
Spag Bollie looked older tonight, but the knees up songs are tiresome now. You cant help but like them though, they need to do make a Zumba album or an excercise DVD!
I think che will go. Anyone attempting Adele stalker songs are brave, he didnt do well.
I dont think Grimmy will be here next year. Rita did look bored too
Didnt like Louisa's offerings or Lauren attempting an Amy Winehouse type song. Was she standing outside the mock up of a brothal? Or premier inn?

I thought the bin bags did very well this week apart from that screechy sound at then end which sounded forced. I also thought that they had better harmony this week with the Jackson five song because usually they just compete on who can hit the highest pitch.

Reggie and b made me teary eyed. They may not be the best singers but they have managed to keep their energy going throughout the competition. Never thought I would see azonto being danced and sang on the X factor.

Che I don't know much about the Adele song so I can't comment on it. I do know the second song he sang and I thought it does not match the original. I absolutely did not feel the power and the emotion that you find in the original song. Even the small sample in that Kanye and jay z version still comes out powerful. It just feels like he showed us his vocal rage without the posh it needed. I love that song.

Luoisa I thought the first song was alright. At one point I forgot she was singing. Second song was great. More like what would work for her than the first even though the judges want her to be young and hip.

Lauren thank goodness someone gave her a it of sparkle. Now what they have to do is see how a long gown works on her. The look is still similar to what receptionist would wear. The fist song was alright. Already forgotten. Second song stood out by miles. Looked like the performer in her was about to come out. Shame though her eyes looks dead when singing emotional song.

Raahh, we are way down thentelly list! Where are you?

80s- I'm here!

I've been sat here marvelling at the insincerity of Mr Peter Anre.

So -who do we think will go?

I WANT SpagBollie (love that- surely that can't offend any one) to go, and the Binbags. And Gobby.

I realise this is a bit of a big ask.

I will settle for the Binbags going, but I do think - despite him having a reasonable (samey) voice, that Aeroflot is in danger. And Simon now HATES Grimmy, I think he will be getting his p45 in his Christmas card

P45 at christmas! I doubt Grimmy will care though!
I think Che is back at tesco. Redy for the xmas rush, bless him

Yay, peters gone ( to court with KP)

How many are out tonight?

Evening everyone

Is PA he loves his kids still in Strictly?

I would like to think 2 were out but don't think we'll be that lucky

I'm finding too many of the contestants irritating, let alone the judges!

80s- when I worked at JL, all the Christmas temps used to be told Christmas eve whether or not they were being kept on. I used to think that was mean.

oh- they are letting Rita sing.

I hope they don't let Chezza!

Thered, no idea mate.
Do we care? Hey, voice over man said one..
Reakon Che is for push
Sigma , ??
Out the loop

Was Ollie just pointing at his genitals there?

I imagine it will be 1 out tonight- leaving 4 for next weekend, one to go Saturday, and then the final 'final' on Sunday. Possibly.

You alright 80s? Have you been working this weekend?

Is Sigma the one who wears a fringe covering her whole face or have I dreampt that?

I will have to work xmas and new years too, not JL tho! ( not posh enough) maybe Che will sing n tesco big store

Missed last night. Had a rare night out! Much fun was had but I'm mainlining tea now.
Just started watching and they all seemed out of tune.
Wow. Ollie's hair is something to behold. What do you think he uses on it?

Rousette- that's Sia- the one who looks like she is wearing a big lampshade wig. She doesn't like publicity apparently. so why draw attention to herself
WTF is Chezza wearing?

Yep, worked sat night.
Not tonight ( yay)
There is a cheryl thread on aibu. I had my say!
