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.

Oh, I always hope Andrew Ridgeley was a nice person. .

Rebeccccccca. From Liverpool. I liked her.

What a boring song!

His wife wasn't nice either.

I like Sam

Is it just me who can hardly hear her over the the backing music?

Why did they make Sam meet Rebecca Ferguson? I skipped through that bit.

I love Rebecca F.

Sam doing OK.... BUT she will have to change her name if she goes any further. I always think Sam Lavatory

I liked her voice last week, but she sounds really ropey today.

No it is hard to hear her. Never a good sign!

Same here Noisy. Although she sounds like dying cat to me, so it isn't a great loss.

I don't like this song. And it's not really a Girls Aloud song anyway, so it is really only very tenuously part of the theme.

Rebecca Ferguson had one of the best X Factor voices. Glad she's still making a living from singing.

So do I , Rousette. We must have very immature minds.

A ridgely is married to a Bananarama girl i think?
I like Rebecca too. Sweet girl.

It was not one of her best performances . Her voice wasn't strong enough for it. Girls Aloud weak enough, maybe. Chrissie Hynde strong enough, definitely not.

She is much more beautiful without loads of make up. I think it's sweet that she is touched by the song ( tho I don't like the song )

Evening all, just got in from fireworks display and I'm freezing.
X factor so far so meh

I still like Sam (probably the only one I do like) so I hope she doesn't go out because of that performance.

Oh fuck, it's Homey G.

Why is Sam wearing a sparkly fishnet? Was she out fishing earlier and din't have time to change?

SquooshI agree. She was really natural too. She reminded me of Shara Nelson (perhaps not the best example, since she had an ignominious end to her career, stalking Pete tong) but she crops up a lot locally.

I'm extremely childish dilitte. One day I'll talk sense

So pleased Rebecca is still going, I've downloaded some of her songs and Leona too...

Oh hell... here's comes HoneyG, the official middle class PR company owning XF plant

*Honey

Although, she'd probably like the typo.

So fed up of all the bloody fireworks around here tonight, it's like a sodding war zone! 🙁😡😵

Oh Fuck it's Homey G

that is probably being said across the nation.

I do hope she doesn't do any jumping. .

Look at all the Christmas ads!

Didn't House of Fraser already do that dancing advert last year?

SO people, has the JL Christmas ad aired yet? Don't they usually premier it during X Factor? Or has the wine fuddled my memory?
