X FACTOR- It's time for the first LIVE shows! ***Sat 8.25/Sun 8pm***

[Raahh]

We need to pace ourselves, it's on for over 2 Hours tonight!

I will post a list of who is singing what when I get to my laptop, but i noticed that Ronseal was singing 'Natural Woman ' so someone has a sense of humour!

2 hours????

I wish it started earlier. If they didn't have ad breaks every few minutes it wouldn't be so bad. Is there a theme?

Song choices-

GIRLS
Bella Penfold – Beneath Your Beautiful – Labrinth and Emeli Sande (w/ original rap)
Molly Scott – Fake Love – BTS
Scarlett Lee – Natural Woman – Aretha Franklin
Shan Ako – Imagine – John Lennon

GROUPS
Acacia & Aaliyah – Finesse – Bruno Mars
LMA Choir – Circle of Life – Lion King
Misunderstood – Chewing Gum – Original
United Vibe – Slow Hands – Niall Horan

OVERS
Danny Tetley – Hero – Mariah Carey
Giovanni Spano – Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting – Elton John
Janice Robinson – Clarity – Zedd ft Foxes
Olatunji Yearwood – Jiggle It – Original

BOYS
Anthony Russell – Issues – Julia Michaels
Armstrong Martins – Story of My Life – One Direction (w/ original rap)
Brendan Murray – Break Free – Ariana Grande
Dalton Harris – Life of Mars – David Bowie

I don't think there is a theme.

OMG Teabag singing hero. I need more wine...

I'm trying to put off opening the wine for a bit- but I'm wavering.

2 hours? So 30 minutes singing and 90 minutes ads then.

I have some Passionfruit Gin Liquor from Aldo tonight so I am ready.

I'm going to need ALL of the wine for Teabag doing Hero. Cheers!

Am I ready? I'm not entirely sure.

Raahh are we ever?

FFS_ Dermie walked on to Greatest Showman song.

The theme is 'This is me'??

That makes Ronseal's song even more comical!

No walk-out for the judges

Quite clever of Tooting Tony to be doing 'Issues' though... he has a few of those!

Jane I hadn't realised that. How odd.

How does this fit the tenuous theme?

And it sounds like their last 'original' song.

We are still watching Harry Potter as it was paused but I will catch up soon

Mnd if I join you? I have wine and a box of truffles I picked up half price in the Co-Op earlier. I'll share :)

Not loving these tbh

You'd think Simon hadn't a penny the way he dresses.

Simon has gone soft.

Penny welcome!

Penny you're welcome to suffer alongside us

Ayda's critique sounded very rehearsed.

Thank you Raahh!

These are odds on to win? What have I let myself in for? Sorry! I may need to keep the wine for myself...

Oh bugger. I missed the beginning.

Evening everyone!

Can Tiny Tooting Tony do anything other than bloody Issues??? FFS

Ok... they dance.

I liked them the other week. I'm rapidly going off them.

I think it's a fix that Tooting Tony is in Louis's group, after Louis paid for his rehab. Especially as the category has been changed to 16-28 to keep him in it. (It has been that before, but was 16-25 again recently).
