X FACTOR- Saturday 8.10/Sunday 7.30- there *might* be 4 acts going this weekend- and it's George Michael Week!

I know it's early- but I've got a football packed morning with dd1. If it's not postponed. And I saw the song choices last night- so have been itching to share them. My bingo card has some crosses on it .

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.

Am I the only one that thinks she just isn't that great a singer?
My ears actually hurt when she's wailing.

Good God this is awful!

lelley them being sisters would make more sense

I don't like it.

This is crap.

I'm getting too old for this.

I'm still not over the JL ad. As a kid, a stupid night light is no substitute for a cool monster to play with at night. He'll be crying into his pillow every night!

Well, actually, Simon , I dispute that these are the best covers he did.

Since Grace is singing 'I can't make you love me' which Simon himself, has often said is one of favourite songs. And a cover. but I hate the song personally

See- this is where theme weeks go to shit. This is not a song that is associated with George at all. Not in the way that 'I can't..' or 'They won't go when I go ' are.

Even 'Don't let the sun go down on me' has more of a connection.

She is very shouty

I hate the tinny sound of the drum machine backing track

Not just you, music. Not just you.

Oh looks, Simon has allowed the backup accessories to sing a couple of words.

I didn’t mind that Seal cover.

I don’t understand why they didn’t ding a George Michael song, I don’t get this lot, they’re really not that great

But....it's not a George Michael song!

Always playing on the sob stories

It's Adamski and Seal yes, apparently loved by George.

I really wasn't feeling it at all. Is the sound off in the studio?

This is a group who was good to start with and is just getting worse

That wasn't one of Georg's greatest covers. I'd say, I Can't Make You Love Me and Let Her Down Easy were better.

Wasn't that Seal?!?

Platypus I love the JL ad. And I'm sure Moz came back.

I can't connect to the Cutkelvins any more. I just don't think that was good at all. It wasn't good or relevant. It was an all over the place mess.

I am so jealous of how cool that girl is

My is going down far to fast for my liking

Next is the Mumbling sons.

A break. Thank god. A chance to look for more alcohol

Fresta I love those songs, especially I can't make you love me.

I'm off to forage for some booze too.

Rousette I only have one bottle of and no more alcohol in my place, so next shop I will be stocking up for xmas and the foreseeable
