it doesn't seem very many...

TEAM OLLY
CHRIS JAMES v HOLLY ELLISON
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meatloaf & Lorraine
Crosby

TEAM TOM
COURTNEY O'NEIL v ELIZA GUTTERIDGE
Fight Song - Rachel Platten

TAI v KADE SMITH
Stand By Me - Ben E King

TEAM JENNIFER
BELLE VOCCI v SCARLETT QUIGGLEY
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Now, if Chris is who I think he is, I think we predicted a Meatloaf song somewhere in his future

Will be interesting to see if J-Hud can resist getting up and joining in of course she will

I'm just glad the auditions are over

I've got popcorn and red skin peanuts. I'm still off the booze. This is something I need to do something about, as I'm off out 'out' next weekend for a family 'do' which I really can't get through without alcoholic assistance . So I might need to get some practice in, or I will be drunk in the first 5 minutes (or asleep) .

See y'all later .

I miss Boy George. He had some great put downs!

SO what happens after the battles?

I have always wanted a device that could sort out my moustache and pubestache in one go. Thank you Veet!

After the battles it turns into the x factor with nicer judges.
For another million weeks.

See you later. I am off back to read my book whilst my eldest guesses who lives in a house ( I am usually right)

See you next week x

I really liked Ricky but I'm surprised that I don't really mind Olly. I was expecting to hate him!

Tom is my favourite judge by a country mile. I think his name dropping is a bit tongue in cheek but on the other hand, he really has met and sung with some of the greats.

I think JH is a bit up herself and Will is a bit of a plonker. I couldn't watch the series with Boy George as I cannot support someone who has been to prison for ABH, plus he's a massive has been.

That last battle was fab, just re-watched it on YouTube.

I miss Danny, I liked Boy George (and Rickayyyy)
I get annoyed that some of the good singers(when we occasionally have some that is) never really get a chance to show what they can do!
The Blind auditions are on longer than the actual show!-or it seems?

I've missed so many threads
I will be here next sat!!
I can't believe that S'Tom chose the girl over that bloke that sang sign of the times in his audition.
Im glad that kade got stole by Olly. I knew Will work choose tai.
The 2 women singers that sang en vogue were shit.

Catch you.all next time
