X FACTOR- and it's DIVAs week- no prizes if you guessed Whitney or Mariah amongst the song choices...It starts at 8pm!

[Raahh]

...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.

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.

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!

I think Nicole could have done with a bigger size in that frock

I think there has been trouble over 'Ice Ice baby', but I couldn't find what the conclusion was, Nancy

Talking of Bowie, Boy George singing a tribute to him on the Stand up to Cancer thing last night made me cry. As did Liam Gallagher singing 'Half the world away' , after the tribute to Caroline Aherne.

I think that Nicole has a wonderful voice, and she can sing beautifully west end songs as well. She should more famous, but for some reason, never did become a big thing.

A lot of talented people have died this year, been a horrible year all round.
Its the coatbridge mafia.

Fairy hope you feel better soon

I have to say not wine talking. No way I Loved that Nicole singing... it just shows up the rest of the mob due on tonight -grin--

I agree Nicole has a good voice. She seems genuinely nice too. It slightly loopy.

It's Fry and laurie.

Raahh, he does doesnt he?
His hair is back!

interesting guitar playing!

Feel better Fairy!

He just doesn't have the voice for this song. Or charisma.

He has nice teeth.. Not bad actually. But i love Adele!

Sharon looks like Hallowe'en has come early.

I will miss this live next week. My sister has resurrected her Hallowe'en party, and I feel I should go.

Coatbridge Mafia 80s?

Get well soon fairy, I've got a spare hot water bottle if that would help?

Wasn't his hair cut short last week? Might have it wrong there...

His hair was straightened last week, this week they stuck a poodle on his head

oh god... has shazza got it wrong again

Thered, he is from Coatbridge! I like him though.

You have to be a really good singer to make a go of an Adele song. I didn't think that was very good.

I'd happily watch a singing pancake!

Zootopia sheep called, she wants her hair back.

It really was a bit too dull. But I doubt Nicole needed to spend too long to do her performance. it seemed pretty natural.

Simon doesn't like Ryan. He wasn't nice about him last week. But it was dull.

Shazza does not care anymore! 17, 20, she will never see it again

Zootopia

Yes slightly dull, but he made a good stab at it. Si is so effing rude... calling him a pancake.

I loved Zootapia, the film of 2016!
It was fab.

WTF is he wearing?
