...but I'm surprised and delighted by the lack of J-Hud.

and 'Ice Ice Baby'? Even Jedward is preferable to Honey fucking G now.
Elfish doing 'Oh So quiet' will get shouty and desperate, and she might even wear a Bjork-ish swan costume. I hope she does. Grin

Here are the choices-

The Boys
Matt Terry
Mariah Carey - I’ll Be There

Ryan Lawrie
Adele - Rolling in The Deep

The Girls
Emily Middlemas
Whitney Houston - How Will I Know

Sam Lavery
Michael Jackson - Earth Song

Gifty Louise
Sam Smith - Lay Me Down

The Overs
Honey G
Vanilla Ice / Queen - Ice, Ice Baby/Under Pressure

Relley C
Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman

Saara Aalto
Bjork - Oh So Quiet

The Groups
5 After Midnight
Amy Winehouse - Valerie

Four of Diamonds
Lady Marmalade/Bang Bang - May, Pink / Lil' Kim, Jessie J, Arianna Grande.

The same songs are appearing series upon series, with boring regularity now. I HATE 'Earth Song' Poor Made Under Sam. Sad

I wonder if Emily will turn 'how will I know' into a ballad? of all Whitney's big Diva songs, it's not one I'd instantly go for.

I have chocolate fingers and decaf coffee. I have been clearing out dd1's room in readiness for a new bed. It is 'a job I wish I had never started'.

See y'all later!

Do we all get a prize for seeing the hugely predictable John Lewis version coming?

theredlion · 22/10/2016 21:23

I'll eat it cold noisy I have student living syndrome

I really hate these damp versions of up-tempo songs. Aargh.

Isitadoubleentendre · 22/10/2016 21:23

Im pretty sure they have recycled her outfit from last week into a playsuit?!

dillite · 22/10/2016 21:23

She seems to struggle to get her whispering out.

Raahh · 22/10/2016 21:23

I'm surprised they have let her wear shoes, to be honest.

Dd was singing along to Natural Woman. We love Carole King stuff.

The80sweregreat · 22/10/2016 21:24

Yep, Ella's Grease number was dire! Why? Milage i suppose. I want Firestarter done JL.

dillite · 22/10/2016 21:24

Is Louis Mumsnetting under the table?

Isitadoubleentendre · 22/10/2016 21:24

Hahahahahahahaha Louis!!!!!!

nancy75 · 22/10/2016 21:24

Louis must read this

Therealloislane · 22/10/2016 21:24

Hated that

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 22/10/2016 21:24

I think I might be asleep.

JL will have their ad made... it's out in a few weeks and takes months and months. Louis must know that?!

Raahh · 22/10/2016 21:25

Noisy- Grin

Louis - slowing ever song she sings down is not really a good thing. It's getting a bit boring.

Balletgirlmum · 22/10/2016 21:25

That's freaky. Louis is a secret mumsnetter.

NoisyBrain · 22/10/2016 21:25

dillite no, it was Risotto Alla Torcellana, a veggie one. OH did suggest it might be even nicer with some 'food' in it (ie. meat)

dillite · 22/10/2016 21:25

Nic needs to cut down on lip fillers. Coupled with that pale lipstick, her lips look like a swollen anus.

The80sweregreat · 22/10/2016 21:26

Nicole wants it sent into space, where it belongs

Roussette · 22/10/2016 21:26

Yes agree.... it's getting a bit samey

Raahh · 22/10/2016 21:26

YES!!! NICOLE!
No- she is right Simon- foor 2 weeks now, I have waited for the meandering song to get going. And it hasn't.

OP posts:
Roussette · 22/10/2016 21:27

Phone went. What did Louis say?

dillite · 22/10/2016 21:27

That sounds delicious Noisy. I think I might make it for my brother next week.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 22/10/2016 21:27

that was so so dull her voice sounded so weak

those whispery whiny songs seem so 2012

NoisyBrain · 22/10/2016 21:27

dillite Grin I was marvelling at Nicole's lips (so to speak) wondering wtf she's done to them

dillite · 22/10/2016 21:28

He said that Emily sounded like a John Lewis advert.
