X FACTOR - And it's beginning to look a lot like 'Christmas week'!

404 replies

oh and 'A Song that will get you to the final' a.k.a one they have probably sung before.

Here is the list-

Matt Terry
Silent Night
Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me

Emily Middlemas
John Lennon - War is Over
Gary Jules - Mad World

Saara Aalto
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is You
Sia - Chandelier

5 After Midnight
East 17 - Stay Another Day
Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)

I heard 'Stay' on the radio the other day, and guessed it would be 5Am's pick- cue big fluffy parka jackets, vocals that were poor in the original any way, nice bells. Ignore the fact it isn't really about Christmas.

More bloody Sia, who must be on the payroll his year.

A falsetto Silent Night will be bloody awful, so i hope he tones it down. There will be a choir though. Of children probably. Who will also feature when Emily drones her way through 'War is over'.

I have no idea who I want to get to the final from this lot. Maybe they will bring back a wild card Grin

See y'all later.

I've gone for vodka this week. it seemed needed. Grin

OMG that sing list!

My only hope is that it's going to be so bad it's good. However from previous episodes I think it will just be really bad...😱

  • song not sing!
The80sweregreat · 03/12/2016 17:40

Emily doing another depressing number then with mad world.
Waves at raahh and destiny. Hope we're all well and feeling chrismassy? (No, me neither yet! )
Oven broken down, luckily can get a new one in time for christmas! Hurrah.mEverything has packed up on us this year, including me.,
Lol.
Dont think 5 AM will make final, just a feeling. But i love that stevie number.
I do love all i want.. ( but not Mariah oddly enough)
Have some german wine..

NoisyBrain · 03/12/2016 19:04

After last week I did hope that Emily might liven up a bit but no, it's business as usual this week (though I do like both her songs)

I think I actually want Saara to win now. At least she has something resembling a personality, even if it is an irritating one Grin

The80sweregreat · 03/12/2016 19:10

I think Saara will swing in on a real chandelier.

Roussette · 03/12/2016 19:12

Hi all Smile

Thx Raahh

There's some songs on here I loathe... should be interesting!

Destinysdaughter · 03/12/2016 19:50

I would also like Saara to win. Mainly because she's shown herself to be a fighter, coming back from all the negativity thrown at her. Has shown herself to be both original and has a great voice! Matt is cute but dull. Emily is just dull and 5am are a pale shadow of JLS ( and that's saying something...)

This series has shown how cynical and shallow X Factor has become. Despite there being some interesting and talented pp in the auditions, we've ended up with one of the most boring and bland shows ever ( no wonder they kept HG to liven things up again...)

The final is too early for the winning act to be the Christmas number one too, surely? Since that is usually what they want out of this.

Evening all! Have some rather nice salted caramel liqueur to help fill the pain tonight. Agree seems a bit early to be Christmas week. I'm not ready! Pity the chicken boys aren't here to do Fairytale of New York....

TheFairyCaravan · 03/12/2016 20:05

Evening everyone.

This is going to be a long night isn't it?

Roussette · 03/12/2016 20:06

And I have some wine to dull the senses Wine Wine Wine

nancy75 · 03/12/2016 20:07

Evening all, songs for this evening look uninspiring to say the least!

NoisyBrain · 03/12/2016 20:07

Wine here too.

I love Silent Night. Please don't butcher it Matt.

Nicole strikes me as a someone who genuinely does enjoy going out with the acts and doing stuff. Like when she she went around Asda with a pricing gun. You don't see videos of Cowell in Asda with his act and a pricing gun.

Oldham council called their new road gritter,
Nicole Saltslinger! Bless.

80s- awww. That's nice. Bet she'd have turned up to the naming ceremony too, if they'd ask.

Shazzas dress looks v uncomfortable

TheFairyCaravan · 03/12/2016 20:10

I thought it was boring

Destinysdaughter · 03/12/2016 20:11

I do feel sorry for Matt. He's going to go the same way as the cutie who won 2 years ago. Can't even remember his name...😱

nancy75 · 03/12/2016 20:11

80s have you been watching newsroundGrin we saw Nicole saltinger earlier!

tigerdriverII · 03/12/2016 20:11

God that was chronic! All those great Xmas songs and this!
