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.

I do not want to see Honey G jumping .
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.

And the wanker is coming to Coventry next June I see...( I so won't be rushing out to get tickets!)

Did you all just see that terrifying TkMaxx Christmas advert? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

Is Robbie on his uppers or something??

He owes a heck of a lot to 'Angels'. His first solo album was in the bargain bin- we had so many copies at work we couldn't shift- he was fat, embarrassing, and a total joke. Then, 'Angels' was released. It never made number one, but it totally turned his career around. Much to gazza's annoyance.

Get rid of Saara please! I like the girl group's song last night. Saara is just too bloody irritating

Destiny, i was a fan in 04, but he has had his day really.
They never give up when they should.

Oh wow, they are terrible.

Christ this is a bit flat 😅

They really need to ban people from singing Whitney songs. For all our sakes

A whitney/mariah couble whammy. Lovely.

Oh my ears !!

It should go to deadlock. A jessie song!

Saara is better tonight.

There have been some awful notes here.

and leon Jackson covered 'when you believe'. Poor 40D

That was much better

Well, I think Saara may have been better there. Much less OTT than usual.

Both bad song choices. How to decide...?

I don't particularly like Sahara, but she outsang them tonight

Jesus, Saara has lost weight as well. What are they doing to them all?

Leon Jackson! Blimey, what became?

Sharon isn't being blackmailed twice.

Nicole looks like she has no idea what the hell is going on or what they are asking her to do.

Maybe they just get gruel in that house! No snacks, just water..
Its the cutbacks.

Joining late tonight, been busy doing dd's RE homework!

They were both bad but I think 4 of diamonds were slightly more cat screeching like that Saara (and she can't go back to Finland because it isn't real)

Simon loves the sound of his own voice

That was fair, to be fair.

What happened to them, they were great til they got to the live shows?!
