X FACTOR 2018- **SAT Sept 1st 8pm** it really IS that time of year again! There are new judges, probably a format and it's Saturday night (and the occasional Sunday) sorted until December :-)

I have just been reminded it starts this weekend- I'm in denial.

I'm not sure about the new judges. I think I will miss Nicole. Maybe not Louis. But we have a New Replacement Louis. I don't like Robbie Williams, and having his wife there might be a mistake.

So- first thread of the year. I will be back when I have had a proper look at what is happening this weekend.

This is one of my favourite songs.

It's very hard to sing.

And very emotional.

Why don't they just let him sing any other bloody song that he knows? Oh, because the magical powers of Simon's water will save the day ...

PavlovianLunge · 02/09/2018 20:24

Well, he’s not my tumblr of gin, but he’s going to be catnip for the youngsters.

And of course the dropping of the paper was completely unscripted. Obviously.

Sorry, bit behind here but why do you get a pubescent boy to sing Woman's Work???

Just weird.

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 02/09/2018 20:25

That lad has a great unique voice and live that song but it had zero emotion cos he did Not know the song and it didn't mean anything to him.
