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.

I love Paloma Faith, she's bonkers but very talented as a singer.

Yes Raahh, just so generous but not looking to publicise it or use it for personal gain. Just doing it because he was a kind softie.

Out of tune

Oh forgot to add, Grace had some pretty awful press this week hence the “Awful week” they keep mentioning.

The press were claiming that Grace is acting like a diva behind the scenes, being awful to the crew and that Sharon had to have words with her. Not sure how true it is!

Started a bit low...

Please don't mess this up.

I love Paloma too

Blimey. Rai-Elle's makeup is a bit OTT. Isn't this a bit low pitched for her

nope, still don't know this song

Raah, I’m really not sure. I’m in too much of a rage.

Fucked off even more now, she's ruining this too

Just stop it now

Oh this is Rai Elle. I'm obviously not sure of names yet

She's obviously been given Slavko's plaits and cut it up and attached it to her head.

Hate this. Sorry but it's dire. Too low

Raffles I can quite believe she is a diva, really. She probably believes her own hype.

Another potential talent squashed underfoot by the Shit-Factor glittery crap machine.

I do like Rai Elle. She seems pretty genuine. Not sure what they have done to her hair though

I used to have eyeliner like that when I was 15 and didn't know any better

I think this song is too big and mature for Rai-Elle.

No she's not that good. Mediocre at best

That was much too low. It was such a shame.

Nicole has overdone it on the Botox. Her face looks kinda lumpy and like it's stuck in the same expression.

It was better than Sam- and at least i could make out the lyrics (unlike Grace).

Not difficult Si, being the best of this lot...the bar is barely off the ground.

Si - if you think we're excited you have it very very wrong! I got excited last night when I found some more wine whilst watching but that's about it!

Was that Kevin cheering in the background? Nice.

And lovely that she has her school choir with her.

I miss the days when they used to slag off the artists, it's all a bit too gushing these days

The school choir is a sweet touch, yes.
