We are promised big stars. Well, some 'big' stars. There is a new boyband I've never heard of, put together by Simon in US called Pretty Much . Must be cheap.

Here are the songs they are performing tonight- when presumably one will leave

Grace Davies
Live and Let Die - Wings
Roots - Grace Davies

Rak-Su
Dimelo - Rak-Su
Mamacita - Rak-Su

Kevin Davy White
Whole Lotta Love - Lez Zeppelin
Fastlove, Pt 1 - George Michael

Also due to perform over the weekend are P!nk, Sam Smith, Little Mix, Becky Hill (the only Voice contestant to ever have a career)and Louis Tomlinson.

Simon must get cut rates if old X Factorites perform.

Disappointed by lack of Stormzy.

I'm not sure who is doing a duet with who though. Or if that will be tomorrow. Or if Nicole will be half-cut on stage singing 'it should have been me' during Sam's set.

I am feeling a bit better this week- though lingering headaches remain. I haven't had a drink for a fortnight, and can't really face the final soberGrin, so might get some mulledWine and mince pies to tide me over.

I have so much to do. Two wasted weekends have left me with loads of stuff I need to sort. Like costumes for nativity playsGrin. But I'm getting out of taking dd1 to her football match too bloody cold and dh is the manager, after all..

So, see y'all later WineBrew

But thanks to you and this thread, I've discovered some delightful crap popstars, with amazing hair.

Why do we not know any of their names after weeks and weeks of them strutting about in odd clothes ? We are useless! Lol

nancy75 · 03/12/2017 19:55

I have no desire to know the names of any of Rat Soup!

Embek At the risk of repeating myself (a bit like their lyrics)Grin
there was nothing about their first audition that made me think they would get this far. I thought they were just the usual boyband , that would either get split up or quietly dumped.

I still don't get it. And yesterday proved, they can't sing 'live' on the occasion they actually were. (But they probably won't ever have to again).

Ratty, trackie and bratty?

Roussette · 03/12/2017 19:56

I haven't got a clue about their names! Can't even type their proper group name, no idea what it is and when tonight is over they will be erased from my brain as if Will Smith men in black zapped me with his zapper thing

TheFairyCaravan · 03/12/2017 19:56

The one with the purple trackie on is called Myles according to Twitter

nancy75 · 03/12/2017 19:57

I might clean the kitchen while pinks on, I can’t stand her

dillite · 03/12/2017 19:57

raahh I am glad to hear that you are happy to have discovered some Russian gems. It's only a fraction of the iceberg's tip of course, but we can't have it all at once.

80s Louis went through a phase of name-checking them, all the time. I'm not sure what he was trying to prove. He didn't know the names of his own acts.

But I just knwo 'Banana one ' 'Curly haired one'

The other two (but there is a group called that already Grin)

Pink always reminds me of a female Eddie Izzard

LineysRunner · 03/12/2017 19:59

God I love Elkie Brooks's Lilac Wine. Makes me heady.

Piggywaspushed · 03/12/2017 19:59

I know Miles's name salivates inappropriately

dillite to say I look forward to finding more, is probably not quite what i mean Grin Wink

This sounds like something else.

Who is Ellie Brooks?

Crispbutty · 03/12/2017 20:00

Now this is proper live music! And a decent performer who entertains.

I love pink. Seen her live and she was amazing.

The80sweregreat · 03/12/2017 20:00

She does look like Eddie! Yes.

Roussette · 03/12/2017 20:01

I have just notice Pinks homage to the Bay City Roller's skirt.

Oh god . When I hear the 'searchlight ' bit I switch off. I've heard this too much.

Is her outfit this new 'modest' fashion that's in now?

The80sweregreat · 03/12/2017 20:01

Purple trackie was crying. Bless him.

Cary2012 · 03/12/2017 20:02

Tracks Vs Suits is apparently the inspiration for their name. I found this out from a year 7 this week. Its about being street. Apparently.

I nodded sagely and longed for the days when Will Young won Pop Idol and you could understand the lyrics and there were more than four lines on a loop.
