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.

squoosh

Winner: Supports Little Knickers at Manchester Arena
Runner Up: Supports them for the whole tour.

Lloyd might have a career in musical theatre, but really, pretending he's the next big 'pop' star is deluded.

random George's songs must mean a lot to you.

To me this Lloyd blokey reminds me of Michael Ball and should be on shows and has not got the xfactor

How about a Jesus and Mary Chain week? or The Pogues? Or The Cult? Lloyd could make 'She Sells Sanctuary' his own.

cary I like that.

Agree, Lloyd not a 'pop idol'

Now we gotta have Paloma Faith Faith Faith to endure...

Jesus and Mary chain Week! And they can all sing Some Candy Talking.

Choon.

Aw cheers Raahh x

piggy exactly!! They need to reduce the yawnage factor!!

Piggy I would be singing along to every single song that week.

I doubt the Little Knicks fans will want a wannabe Alfie Boe churning out stuff, unless he does Let It Go and other Disney shit?

Great minds Piggy

I think they should have a New Romantic week, with Rai Elle singing Cars by Gary Newman and Lloyd singing Girls on Film etc

Now THAT would be fun!

The nation's favourite Elton John songs follows X-Factor , what's going on?

Isn't it the oddest X Post, squoosh !?

Random, sorry for your loss last year. Songs and photographs bring back so many memories. Our loved ones that have passed will always be in our hearts. Its so hard, especially at christmas too.

I saw the Jesus and Mary Chain in March. Dh is a big fan. They were playing in Manchester, and it was like being back at university (I'm 45)

It was ok, except, I'm very short, so couldn't see much.

(I discussed it at length on 'The Voice' thread) .

Yes, squoosh they need to realise there is more to music than pop!

Maybe they could do a spin off, the F-factor

Did anyone see George on Extras? I bet he was bloody hilarious in real life.

Alisha singing Vienna would be glorious! i.e. so bad it's good

I was on The Voice thread and remember this raahh !!

I thought you were so cool....

I have name changed; you may remember me as beans

Is she pinching her nose together? Why does she sound constipated?

Paloma fits right in here. Her and Grace should do a duet.
