or maybe not. Grin

Here are the mooted song choices...

Boys
Matt Terry
Wham! - I’m Your Man



Ryan Lawrie
The Beatles - Twist & Shout

Girls
Emily Middlemas
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

Sam Lavery
Girls Aloud - I’ll Stand By You

Overs
Honey G
Kris Kross - Jump

Saara Aalto
Girls Aloud - Sound of The Underground

Groups
5 After Midnight
Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There
Madcon / Little Mix - Beggin/Wings

Four of Diamonds
Wilson Phillips - Hold On


It's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm not sure I'd call The Beatles a boyband in the Westshoite meaning of the word. Grin

I do not want to see Honey G jumping Grin.
I think 4oD might do a reasonable jog of 'Hold On'.
I have visions of Elfish with a host of Elfish clones in a scary ott Girls Aloud version of the video.

(which, wierdly, I was telling ds , was number one the week he was born. Christmas 2002).

Off to a firework display, having only just warmed up from watching dd1 play football this morning. See y'all later, possibly a bit late.

The girls took their departure really well - maybe being a shoo in for the tour helps a bit?
Its a tough call but generally, by now, the jokey act has had much more criticism or been in the bottom two by now so I have a feeling Honey is getting the most votes out of all of them. Be interesting to see the voting figures when its all over! I hope Sam gets a better song next week.
A Christmas week would be good - get us all in the mood ( or not)
I predicted the end of the show, then last night they were asking for applicants for next year, so guess its not ready to be put out to grass just yet.

Just caught up... watched Planet Earth which was spectacular.

Anyway now watched XF.... heck Robbie's song was dire and he's back to black with the hair, where's the grey gone.

As for 4ofD... that's them gone then! Saaaaara is beginning to irritate me more and more even if she can sing. As for HoneyG... words fail me!

I love word up, that blokes cod piece ( Cameo?) was fab,
.
I think little mix did a version?
I am sure Honeys Disco number will be the same as the others.
I say Honey, you say , 'who the hell is voting for you' ?
Then a G sign with the elbows.

I bet Emily does Rose Royce. Or similar ballad-y disco classic.

Honey G will do Ottawa, D.I.S.C.O. but H.O.N.E.Y instead

she is H- hopeless
she is O- out of tune

etc

She would need an oxygen tank midway through Rappers' Delight - she could hardly manage Kris Kross!

My guess is word up

Honey G will rap through D-I-S-C-O (to the D to the I to the S ad nauseam)

Emily will warble If I Can't Have You

Yep, christmas has been airbrushed last few years. HG can do Slade.
Emily can slow down Misletoe and wine.
Ryan can murder white christmas.
Elfish can have reindeer!

How did they manage to make that wheel of music thing so boring and how do the manage to make a music show so tedious ?

Well, at least they all get on the tour.

And Finland (which doesn't exist) can keep voting Elfish in , so they can keep her away from them. with her wacky wigs and quirkiness that they don't get.

Disco.

Bloody hell. What will Emily do ?????!! it will be Ella Henderson /Grease all over again.
