I don't mind 'Edge of Heaven' too much for J and J- it could have been much worse.
Am very surprised at the choice for the Cutkelvins. At the beginning of the series, I thought they were one of the favourites, but Simon doesn't seem to be giving them much, and they are increasingly becoming the sister , with backing.

And BINGO! 'I can't make you love me' I can't stand that song- and it's Grace singing it- which means they really want her to win. it's such a favourite on these shows.

I think Rat Soup doing 'Faith' rather than Sam , means Sam is going home.

And hopefully, the title of Sobby's song is an omen

There are rumours that the quadruple elimination won't happen now. Which is good in a way, as it would probably have left us with Grace and Rat Soup for the next 4 weeks .

So- I'm off to check if dd1's football has been postponed, and then i need to sort out snacks for later.

What has she done with the tune???

PLatypus I thought I was the only person who noticed peoples ears. You are SO right. Louis has problem ears

Jeez, this woman is almost as much of a scary stalker as her idol, Adele! I feel for the poor bloke who is the centre of all this angst

Grace is making it her own. I hope she keeps it afterwards.

I LOATHE her strangulated way of singing

Jeez, this woman is almost as much of a scary stalker as her idol, Adele! I feel for the poor bloke who is the centre of all this angst

It's a stitch up that she has this song, as it's a) one of Simon's favourites, and b) done to death on these shoes.

But- so far I can't make out a bloody word she is singing. If singing is even the right word.

Does she do her own make-up? Because if they actually paid someone to do that, they would demand a refund.

Ugh that ribbity croaky voice affectation thing is really annoying.

I feel like I'm turning into my late Grandparents but I can't make out a word she's singing

shows

What's the betting Louis is so aggrieved now he gets all arsey about the acts that aren't his.

I'm not warming to this. It's boring

If she just sang the song instead of strangling her vocals in an effort to sound 'unique' she'd probably sound quite good.

Can they not give her elocution lessons?

What's going on with the sound? Sounds like she's underwater.

FFs- you couldn't understand a word she just warbled.

That was appalling.

Wasn't George asked to be a judge and turned it down as he didn't want to judge pp?

So glad he never had to witness this travesty!

Rousette ears are my thing. DH always comments on people's teeth, but for me it's ears. Alan Sugars ears particularly perturbed me

Well, if you change the tune it's not the original song anymore. That had absolutely nothing to do with George Michael.

IT WASN'T STRIPPED BACK

Is that a massive Alexa box behind her?

I had no idea either cedoren she lost me, but then she didn't have me from the start.

making it her own. I hope she keeps it Hah! Oh yes, yes, yes.

Well, she was better than Sam. I'll give her that.

Her voice sounded good- heaven help us if we have to hear it when it sounds bad!

I'm getting more pissed off that Jake and Joel were robbed.

Platypus I am gonna look out for Alan's ears on Apprentice this week!

There are some really funny ones around that's for sure
