Well, not really spoilers, but you can't be too careful theses days. Grin

This is what they will be singing:

Ché Chesterman
In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins
Valerie - Mark Ronson Ft. Amy Winehouse

Louisa Johnson
Fighter - Christina Aguilera
I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly

Reggie 'N' Bollie
Spice Up Your Life / Boom Boom Boom - Spice Girls / Outhere Brothers
Jump - Kriss Kross

No Christmas songsSad

Tomorrow the remaining 2 will sing their favourite song from the series and the winner's single.

The duets haven't all been confirmed- apart from LouisaWHOIS17 singing with Rita, maybe. (Bit of cost cutting there).

Other guests over the 2 nights are rumoured to be-

Little Mix, Leona Lewis, Fleur East, One Direction, Ben Haenow, Coldplay and ADELE . Can't tell whether these are just guests, or singing with the acts.
Can't picture Adele and SpagBollie somehow. Not sure who will draw the short straw there.

Obviously getting Adele and Coldplay has blown the budget, hence the rest being X Factor alumni Grin

I need mulled wine and nibbles to get me in the mood.

see y'all later.

here are the songs they will be singing tonight.

Louisa Johnson
It's A Man's Man's World - James Brown
Winner's single

Reggie 'N' Bollie
What Makes You Beautiful / Cheerleader - One Direction / OMI
Winner's single

Supposedly their best song from the series. I wouldn't say that Louisa's is. Wouldn't matter which SpagBollie one they picked- they have all been the same.Grin

I think the final 'final' is more about the guest acts than the actual contestants- Wandies, Adele and Coldplay.

I might have some peanuts left.

I hate that 'mans mans manzzz ...worst song ever. Didnt tesco mary sing this once? Im sure james browns version is good, but these others doing it puts my teeth on edge.
One direction number i like, but it will sound weird sung by them. Cheerleader is more their style.
Where in essex is Louisa from? Still no idea how old she is?... Lol

The80sweregreat · 13/12/2015 15:40

Ps, i love Cold play, but that song with Beyonce isnt great. Mind you, not a Bey fan ( I'm. Sure she is devastated)
A rush of blood and parachutes are brilliant albums.shame it goes downhill a bit after that.

Raahh · 13/12/2015 16:55

I love Coldplay's other single- Adventure of a lifetime. More uptempo than they often do. (love the video with them as cgi monkeys)- but also really don't like the Beyonce one. I heard them on the radio really building it up, how she added magic to it- and it's dull as anything. And maybe it was my car stereo, but it could have been anyone singing on it. But yes, first 2 albums were great- then I got bored. And 'Fix You' was EVERYWHERE. Grin

I liked viva album too, Ghost stories was really forgetable..
I think Beyonce's voice is quite overrated to be honest. Just my opinion of course and i cant sing a note. She sounds odd on the coldplay song, but she probably earned millions doing it so i doubt she cares!
Seems a weird mash up to me too. I cant see what Chris n the boys would have in common with a diva like her.. Showbiz is a different planet i suppose.

Roussette · 13/12/2015 17:06

I love "It's a Man's world" by James Brown. But can never understand why it's sung by a woman given the words.

ReggienB are doing some mash up of ten different songs then. I can never understand what they're singing, it just sounds like noise to me. I think listening to them singing on a loop would be my idea of torture. However, if they can do justice to Bob Dylan's song, I'll run up and down our road naked. Grin

Raahh · 13/12/2015 17:07

Mind you- I wouldn't have put them with Rihanna either- but that at least had a tune.

They could have by-passed Beyonce and saved themselves a fortune. Grin

Ooh looking forward to tonight! ( and this thread even more...)Smile

theredlion · 13/12/2015 18:23

It's a bit nippy round here for that Rousette.

I'm in for tonight, couldn't we start one of those online petitions so we can all be judges next year?

NoisyBrain · 13/12/2015 18:51

Good evening! I am recovering from TWO nights out in a row

Caught up on most of last night's 'action' earlier. Oh my word, I am SO over Reggie n Bollie.
Why do they keep giving Louisa (who is in her late teens, I believe) 'older' women's songs? Surely she could handle an Adele number, or even one of Rita's, pretty well, no?

The80sweregreat · 13/12/2015 19:12

I can see Reggie and Bollie doing party albums, guest spot routines on this morning , maybe an exercise DVD, even holiday camp seasons. Louisa will be another Alexander Burke , a few hits then not much else. I wish them all luck but winning this does not have the prestigue it once did.
Its been very flat this year.

Raahh · 13/12/2015 19:35

I am very disappointed SpagBollie haven't done 'Agadoo'.

If only Woolies still existed, I can imagine an album of their party classics ending up in the clearance bin, post Christmas. Or given away free with a packet of Spangles.

I was watching it Raahh I used to love Kylie I don't care how uncool that is but she was decidedly meh on Strictly.

Raahh · 13/12/2015 19:43

Kylie is taller than me. That upsets me.

theredlion · 13/12/2015 19:45

Raahh · 13/12/2015 19:51

I want RegnBol to do the Macerana mashed up.

Raahh · 13/12/2015 19:55

The macarena mashed up with Agadoo, with a hint of O Carolina.

That would be good.

not

Have you seen into the future Liney?

LineyReborn · 13/12/2015 20:00

Just imagining it, theredlion With abject horror.

Raahh · 13/12/2015 20:01

I still don't get how we got away with calling a man 'nanfucker' for years but some innocuous nicknames (with very boring reasons behind them) have caused outrage this year?
