No Hallowe'en theme for X Factor, oh, no. Unless they do it next week Grin

This week, the song choices are:

GIRLS
Bella Penfold – Diamonds Are Forever – Shirley Bassey (w/ Kayne West rap)
Molly Scott – Little Do You Know – Alex and Sierra
Scarlett Lee – Always On My Mind – Elvis
Shan Ako – Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word – Elton John

GROUPS
Acacia and Aaliyah – Surprise on the night
LMA Choir – Proud Mary – Tina Turner
Misunderstood – Close to You – Maxi Priest (w/ original rap)
United Vibe – Party in The USA – Miley Cyrus

OVERS
Danny Tetley – Crazy For You – Madonna
Giovanni Spano – Surprise on the night
Janice Robinson – Show Me Love – Robin S

BOYS
Anthony Russell – I Want To Know What Love Is – Foreigner
Brendan Murray – Believe - Cher
Dalton Harris – I Have Nothing – Whitney Houston

Going off that list, I'm not sure they get what a Guilty Pleasure is. Surely it should be something like 'Agadoo', or Renee and Renata.

And it must be the 8th outing for 'Proud Mary' this series.

Bit worried about A and A- I think they are being shafted, and i suspect the 'surprise on the night' will have been because they were asked to do something odd.

And since when did 'Diamonds are Forever' have a rap??

I'm going to need a lot of wine Wine

I won't be here tonight as I am going to watch an actual real life circus rather than all of these clowns. But you all have fun!

oh, have a good night, dillite. My sister usually has a Halloween party, but she's not doing this year ( I'm a bit relieved- I don't like dressing up, but I do like the food and alcohol!).

I feel robbed of some one doing Thriller like a little Michael Jackson.Sad

Crazy for you? Old Teabag's at it again!

Not looking forward to LMFAO choir Sad

Have fun dillite

I'm in! But guilty pleasures... really? What in the name of all that is holy do those songs have to do with guilty pleasures?!

Se y'all laters Grin

Destinysdaughter · 27/10/2018 18:04

Signing in for duty! Feels like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel with these 'themes' tbh. I haven't read the list of songs above ( sorry) as I like to be surprised ( or more usually horrified...) 😀

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 20:16

Evening all, very disappointed with the lack of Halloween theme again, they know I live the monster mashAngry
I think it’s time they let us pick the songs for guilty pleasures week. I’m voting for shut uppa your face & anything by Boney M. How on Earth is Elvis a guilty pleasure??

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 20:16

Evening all.

LOL @ LMFAO Choir Grin Flippin' Proud Mary. Again.

Can't wait to hear what Brendan's going to do with Believe. I sense a JL version coming Hmm

Totally agree that the whole point of 'guilty pleasures' seems to have been missed. I'd have a lot more respect if someone was singing Atmosphere by Russ Abbott Smile

terfing · 27/10/2018 20:26

These "themes" are far too loose and subjective!

noisy they really haven't got the right idea, have they? a true guilty pleasure is something cheesy and a bit too embarrassing to admit in public- but you can sing all the words when it comes on the car car radio. Like admitting to liking anything by Shia.

I am sick of Proud Mary, can't stand it- but it can hardly be called a guilty pleasure.

Shia? Sinitta!

I’ve just read the song list to Dd, the only one she knows is Miley Cirus, so they’re doing a really good job of appealing to the yoof!

terfing · 27/10/2018 20:31

How many are leaving this week? 1 or 2?

I am just watching the Strictly re-cap. Dr Ranj danced to Monster Mash in a great costume. Grin

My guilty pleasure would have to be anything by the Bay City Rollers , I suppose. Proper cheesy rubbish, like Shangalang.

DS1 hates Proud Mary so he's in for a treat! I'm looking forward to lots of moaning when that comes on.

terfing from what I read, they were keeping quiet about that. It might only be 1 though.

Evening everyone. I shall be here for a bit however we've got a new baby hamster who I'm trying to train so when he comes out I'll turn this off otherwise he will be frightened half to death.

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2018 20:36

Hamsters need training??

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 20:36

Fairy awwww!
Yes, I see that X Factor would scare a hamster.

Dermie is building up his part.

Oh- 2 are going.

OP posts:
Roussette · 27/10/2018 20:37

I watched SDC as they synced for once. Loved Faye Tozer's dance but she is a trained dancer

Love Dermy too, XF is nothing without him Grin

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 20:37

My guilty pleasure is ' reach for the stars' by S Club 7.
I heard a slower version once: it was very good!
Most of these are not in this category.
It's the double! They are kicking them out fast this year!

TheFairyCaravan · 27/10/2018 20:38

Yeah they need to get to used to being handled and being out of their cage

PawneeParksDept · 27/10/2018 20:38

I don't really know why I am watching but I am. Not enthused about any of the songs really.

Roussette · 27/10/2018 20:38

Ye gods, Knobber is the biggest twat ever
