X FACTOR- This week's theme is 'Crazy in Love'- (Sat 8.10/Sun7.30) and there WILL be a double elimination!

[Raahh]

So- dress in your best pleather, cos leatherette is for losers

I know it's only Friday- but I couldn't wait this week.

The theme was tenuous- check out the song choices-

Girls

Grace Davies: 'Hesitate' (original song)
Holly Tandy: Ariana Grande and The Weeknd - 'Love Me Harder'
Rai-Elle: Jean Knight - 'Mr Big Stuff'

Boys

Lloyd Macey: Shania Twain ft Bryan White - 'From This Moment On'
Sam Black: Little Mix ft Charlie Puth - 'Oops'

Overs

Kevin Davy White: Whitney Houston - 'I Will Always Love You'
Matt Linnen: Alicia Keys - 'Fallin'

Groups

The Cutkelvins - 'Saved Me from Myself' (original track)
Sean & Conor Price: Julia Michaels - 'Issues'
Rak-Su - 'Mona Lisa' (original track)

So, it looks like there are THREE original songs. Which they can make fit any theme

And not Beyonce, despite the title. (But we do get Whitney- maybe this is to sabotage Kevin?)

So...plenty of time to digest this information.

We might need it.

Simons skin is looking decidedly dodgy. Wtf is going on with his tache?

It wouldn't be the same, Simon. It would be better.

Sorry pressed too soon but the comparison is hilarious.

Boring!

I wish they'd stop saying that Issues is a great song, it's a shit song.

Sean and Connors performance was just nothing to me. They may has well have broadcast dead air for 3 minutes. It would have left me equally unaffected.

Sorry, Dermot, my granny is 86. She doesn't look it, and has a lovely voice actually, but I don't think I could get her to audition for X factor.

I'm still in denial that I'm nearly 46

The true love advert featuring Ewan ‘having an affair ‘ McGregor - I bet Debenhams are bloody livid with him

Rashh, 46 is young. Try 52! 😃

I was in Tescos today upgrading my phone and he kept making me say my DOB out loud! I am accustomed to lying about my age and it was very traumatic.

nancy I doubt they are. He's a man, they never seem to lose out on anything when caught having affairs.

Do we have the single Mumble Son's fan on this thread?

Looks like it

Oh here we go, we have another shitty original song coming

When i have to scroll for DOB on line for anything im there for 10 minutes! I can hear them laughing at me. Those computer gremlins.

80s in my head, I am 19 , forever, it is my first term at university 1990, and 'Groovy Train' by the Farm is in the charts

dillite sadly true.

Original songs are not a good idea.

80’s you are still a kitten!

Try another 9 years on top 😜

Original songs are pretty much all shite

Raah I'm 45 today. Don't usually like birthdays, but have really enjoyed this one! DH for me a turntable and I have been having a blast playing all my (very) old, and my mum's old records with the kids

So they wrote a song that happens to fit the theme, the week before the theme was announced?

Why do the blokes have to stand behind a table every week?

My arse they wrote this!!

What is this tonight? Who's The Oldest geriatric competition? Well I am 30-going-90, how about that? Do I win?

They played Natasha Bedingfield before this as if to point out the plagiarised tune...

I'm 52 as well, 53 in Dec, am in total denial about it too!
