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

Well, of course it's for the kids and she's very excited, she is a bloody child herself!

I can never decide whether I like 'All I want for christmas' of not. It's a love/hate thing. It gets played too much, I think. Plus, lots of people think they can sing it, and can't.

oops- I'm sure Dermie nearly said shitslinger...

Haha, best moment of this X Factor series so far!

The80sweregreat · 03/12/2016 20:37

Oh my! Its on there!
Nic loves this.

Roussette · 03/12/2016 20:37

Yes. Emily does not inspire me in the slightest. She is so forgettable

Not taking away the fact she has a good voice but still....

Rachel0Greep · 03/12/2016 20:38

I'm not in my usual state of fear...simply because I don't have to dread Honey G appearing. Grin

So......not a lot going on in Finland by the looks of things.

The80sweregreat · 03/12/2016 20:39

I give it to Mariah, she can hit them high notes. ( or she could in the 80s anyway)

See, that's not fair. None of the other acts met Santa.

I'm actually quite relieved!

She should have stuck with White Christmas

TotalPerspectiveVortex · 03/12/2016 20:41

I love Saara but hate the insistence of 'mashing up' songs. Pick one, sing it. Taadahhh!

Raahh · 03/12/2016 20:41

Missing chunks out of songs people know so well, is really annoying.

Dillite2 · 03/12/2016 20:41

Santa isn't real because Finland isn't real!

Dillite2 · 03/12/2016 20:41

Fuck me sideways this is terrible!

nancy75 · 03/12/2016 20:41

Blimey, this is like a drunken night at butlins

Roussette · 03/12/2016 20:41

I can't particularly warm to her but she can put on a show, I'll give her that

derxa · 03/12/2016 20:42

Hate that !!!!!

Destinysdaughter · 03/12/2016 20:42

Ooh she's got some lungs on her!

Whattheduck · 03/12/2016 20:42

Fairy I agree. It would probably have been good. She wasn't good enough for the mariah bit.
