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

No I did not see him! Boo! Rick thinks he is cool now with his Danish wife.

Which reminds me, Aha have been on TOTP a lot lately. They had so many singles I have no recollection of. All shit.

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 20:44

Ooh I thought of another one. The Chicken Song by the Spitting Image puppets. I am showing my age.

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 20:44

Joe really was ted to stay at the back, he is young & ashamed

Raahh · 27/10/2018 20:44

As a Liverpudlian (though I don't live there any more)

I resent them and their attempts to MOBILIZE all SCOUSERS

No. If they're shite I ain't voting

ROCKY BALBOOOOAAAA does get a vote of "c'mon lad" from me though but it's a sympathy vote

Roussette · 27/10/2018 20:45

Raahh Mmmbop takes me back. My DCs loved it for this really short time. Yes, a moment in time

off to google Hanson and will be really disappointed

Destinysdaughter · 27/10/2018 20:45

I like Shan. Hairology was from Glee and yes, basically flicking your hair around!

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 20:45

Hmmbop was number one when ds2 was born.
He has never ever forgiven me! Bless ( I like it)
Ds1 has ' rhythm is a dancer' ( number one when he was born) which is s much better song all round. The rivalry!
It's 'ever so 'umble' Sham. ( sorry Shan)

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 20:46

Shan just made me sick in my mouth a bit

dillite · 27/10/2018 20:46

Hi all! I am here. Circus was fab but parking in the dark for the first time was not at all fab and now I am drinking alcohols.

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2018 20:46

God she's like Dana

Raahh · 27/10/2018 20:46

The Chicken Song was great- very clever . I loved Spitting Image. It would never be allowed be now.

Er, what?? Talking should not be allowed.

She will be voted off for being mawkish.

The Blue cover of this , with SirElton , killed it for me.

Oh Jesus the whole program is a guilty pleasure, minus the pleasure bit. "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" is the desperation song on here trotted out every other week.

What happened to Fright Night? People dressed as zombies?

Roussette · 27/10/2018 20:47

Oh dear hahaha... DH has just said 'shut up and sing'... to the monologue. He's drinking Rioja.

I actually like this girl

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 20:47

My guilty pleasure is Boney M ( I know every song Blush ) and spirit in the sky ( the doctor & the medics version)

PawneeParksDept · 27/10/2018 20:47

Since when was liking Elton John something that qualifies as "guilty pleasure"

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 20:47

Noisy : stick a deckchair up your nose ! I love the chicken song. The novelty song is just not made anymore!

TheFairyCaravan · 27/10/2018 20:47

How is this a guilty pleasure?

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 20:47

Soooo much melisma

sunshineNdaisies · 27/10/2018 20:48

I was like "Just get on with it"

And she was shit

I love elton and most covers are shit comparisons

Vote her out
