X FACTOR- It's Semi Final week! Sadly, the theme is not 'Lionel Ritchie' :-(

[Raahh]

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.). 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

See y'all later.

The80sweregreat that makes you........................................9 years old now?

Do not tell me that was more than 5 tears ago!

Rita is very J LO style tonight

Louisa did sing better than anyone else tonight to be fair. Remind me how old she is?

We all had it all once 80s

Aw I like Joss Stone. ( the early songs anyway) Sleep like a child is beautiful.

Slack's assessment of that song as being about Girl Power has just confirmed her as the towering intellect I have long suspected.

Sorry Noisy I really can't remember how old Louisa is - anyone?

Noisy I don't think anyone has ever mentioned how old louisa is, I'm really not sure

It was about 2004 i think? Or before? Dunno.
Smoking in pubs, those were the daysZ,

Leona won in 2006, if iirc.
The year my mate from school was in the group that went out first week of the lie finals.

That outfit is too old for her. She's only 17 you know.
She is very much like Joss Stone, maybe that's why I can't warm to her.
Can't see any of these contestants doing much outside of Butlins or Haven.
However I love Butins sorry

Thered, mines all gone now.. : (

2007. What a time to be alive.

Nooooo idea how old Louisa is, sorry!

They should really tell us how old the contestants are, it might affect how we vote.

I think I missed the Leona year, dd was a baby and I was under an avalanche of shitty nappies & sma

Louisa is 17.
17 17 17

How old did you say she was Bonita?

God I'm so much older than all of you. Was 11 when I saw first Star Wars film at the cinema ( re the Star Wars ad). Fortunately on these threads these things don't matter!

Shouting voice, 17 !

Oh there you go Noisy I think Louisa could be 17

Chocolate diamonds! two of my favourite things

Bonita i grew up gong to Pontins. Loved it. I have Shane Ritchie's autograph from a camp he was at in about 1982. My dc loved it when we went to Haven. I believe they have a place. But it is funny to think of all the washed up reality music 'stars' that end up there.

First star wars was 1977' i was 12. 12! Now its star wars 98 i think? Or a prequel?

Did she just call her Lauren Merrick?
