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.

umlaut shmumlaut (just jealous cos I don't know how to do it)

I wonder how many of the youngsters googled Lionel?

Collie, wish you better. Sounds awful.
West ham, my bro is a life long fan.. ' bubbles is his middle name'
Bless him

I actually started a thread last week about how much I hate perfume ads!

doesn't one of them do this song every flaming year?

I thought the people in red had daggers then.

I have worked with youngsters who know more about the older singers and groups than i do. Its surprising

squoosh The London Boys story is awful. Their tour bus got hit by a drunk driver IIRC and the crew died too, plus the one who was married's wife who was on the bus also died and they left a young orphaned child. Sorry, bringing the vibe down. Lots of sad stories behind some one hit wonders.

This is an odd arrangement. It is neither Frankie not Aplin.

nor

The FGTH Power Of Love is such an iconic song that I don't think anyone can sing it and make it sound anywhere near as good.
For me everything else sounds like a karaoke version, even though this is a good go at it.

Wish someone would sing 'Relax' instead of this maudlin tripe. That would get some raised eyebrows!

Awful. Had no idea about the London boys. Life is just awful sometimes :(

Yes destinys I'd love an X-Factor version of Relax

Tendon

Chezza is not really sincere- you can just hear her thinking 'that wasn't great, all the better for my shit act '

Don't they all want to win?

Never heard Relax on here. Ever.
Would be different

It was note perfect, but it left me a bit cold...

It's like it was singing by numbers, maybe it's because she's a mere seventeen, it wasn't credible

The London Boys story is terrible, very sad.

Nick's hair looks v Jedward tonight.

Back to it. Not bothered about that at all, yet they're all gushing.

That's so sad about Charles and the London Boys.
Didn't enjoy that performance. DH recons she's no Buddy Holly no Holly Johnson either

'Relax' on next year's JL christmas ad would be awesome.

Complete with 'totally misses the point' visuals.

The dancers around her looked odd.
Is caroline wearing shorts or skirt?

Must admit to not knowing who the London Boys are.

That's so sad :(

I still have my appendix. No other symptoms at all. Bizarre! But thanks everyone
