It's 'Songs that will get me to the final' or 'Just sing any old shit, there are two weeks left, and Simon wants to be on a yacht somewhere.'

Here is what they will be performing-

Ché Chesterman
Would I Lie To You? - Charles & Eddie
Love Is A Losing Game - Amy Winehouse

Lauren Murray
Runnin' (Lose It All) - Naughty Boy Ft. Beyoncé & Arrow Benjamin
Best Of My Love - Emotions (Ella Eyre version)

Louisa Johnson
The Power Of Love - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (Gabrielle Aplin version)
It's A Man's Man's Man's World - James Brown (Christina Aguilera version)

Reggie 'N' Bollie
Locked Away - R City Ft. Adam Levine
I Gotta Feeling / I Like To Move It - Black Eyed Peas / Reel 2 Real

Just when you thought SpagBollie couldn't get worse- they do. 'I like to Move it'- this reminds me of King Julian in 'Madagascar' Or Zig and Zag. (Who were one of Simon's first big 'acts' dontcha know.). Grin I suppose there aren't many lyrics to actually sing.

I think Lauren is in danger because- Louisa is being pushed as the winner, and getting rid of Spag Bollie would probably cause Princess Chezza to throw a hissy fit. At least she's moved on from Mariah and Whitney... to Beyonce.

Aeroflot will be wanting to make up for not knowing the words to 'Hello'- but Charles and Eddie??! The only thing that will make up for this, is if he wears a long black Charles (or was it Eddie? ) wig.

I have to go to my dds' Christmas fayre at school. Humbug.
I am hoping to win enough alcohol to make tonight bearable Grin

See y'all later.

Ahh, could the 'losing game' song title be an omen ?

We haven't seen his dreadlocked imaginary girlfriend since.

I'm sick of other people's 'versions' of things.

Do your own version, there's an idea.

Yes BitOf if my DCs are really poorly I prescribe a couple of paracetamol and a quiet lie down.

She was 8 when Leona won!

I feel as old as Methuselah.

The80sweregreat · 05/12/2015 20:59

Louisa has an odd mouth. Pretty girl tho, and any west ham fan is a mate of mine.
More white. Didnt tesco mary do this once?

Destinysdaughter · 05/12/2015 20:59

Why is a woman singing this bloody song??

squoosh · 05/12/2015 20:59

People on TV singing shows love this song for some reason.

theredlion · 05/12/2015 20:59

Any celeb stories this week BitOf?

Colliejollychristmas · 05/12/2015 20:59

Are they turning her into Joss Stone?

LoadsaBlusher · 05/12/2015 20:59

Wow the emotion in her voice , compared to Che - no comparison is there ...

Louisa looks better than the first sing.

I hate this song- it's been done too often, and it's boring.

Hate this song. Any bloody version.

Destiny- it's Christina's version. Which means 'shouty, with added melisma'.

TheFirstNoelHeadbands · 05/12/2015 21:00

Hate this sexist old tripe as well.

Destinysdaughter · 05/12/2015 21:01

However.... That was brilliant!

Wishful80smontage · 05/12/2015 21:01

Louisa is so much better than the others

theredlion · 05/12/2015 21:01

I know this is hypocrisy on my part but I don't like the misogyny of this song, it belongs to a previous age and not in a good way.

squoosh · 05/12/2015 21:01

Her white suit is a bit Martine McCutcheon.

LoadsaBlusher · 05/12/2015 21:01

Prefer the back of Rita's dress

The80sweregreat · 05/12/2015 21:01

I was 4o odd when Leona won.. ( leaves the room)

BitOfFun · 05/12/2015 21:01

I don't think I've been out since they banned smoking in pubs, red, so my supply has dried up.

Collie- good shout. She's annoying, Joss Stone.

And 2 blokes plotted to kill her.

(didn't succeed, but are in prison for ages anyway).
