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!

What is the dancing bloke wearing?

I liked zootopia too

Bryan looks like Joseph in that hoodie.

Stylists just couldn't resist a weave

They scalped a Barbie and stuck her hair onto Gifty.

They clearly want Gifty to win and are trying to make her more likeable and humble, perhaps softer. Not that I thought she was unlikeable

Choirs- tick!
Candles-tick!

Um...I like this. I haven't liked Gifty until now.
It's very Beyonce.

Louis looks so snazzy in his shiny jacket.

Hmm, she is ok. Her hair looks very natural!
I like that song.

I agree Louis can't criticise anyone's hair!

and no stupid earrings! unless they are hidden.

I thought she was a lot better than she has been, less shouty and more restrained.

Diddy anorak!

What is it with Active pretending to be some sort of empowering thing for women? It's a fucking yoghurt that helps you shit (apparently). That's it.

Activia

Just thought it was a bit OTT. Cropped hair last week. Luscious locks this.

Is Kevin Bacon broke? Why is he humiliating himself like that?

dilitte yes!

It's silly hat week!

5 after ..a JLS record deal

BAD

When the backing get loud, you know they have no faith in the vocals.

Where do the stylists find all these hideous clothes?

And the one with the medusa hair, well, it's got thin snakey bits this week, which look even worse than normal.

Shocking, and have you seen side show bobs snake print shirt, they must have been down the market again

This is honestly just karaoke

My friend's son and his mates do a bit of karaoke and they are far better
