X FACTOR- This week's tenuous theme is 'Guilty Pleasures' - so, anything goes! *** Sat 8.35/Sun 8pm**

[Raahh]

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

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

Actually, agree with Ayda. It was depressing.

The winner takes it all is one of best one of their impressive career. Its heartbreaking.
Such a great pop song.

His hair is nice

He will be wearing arran jumpers, and opening for Daniel O'Donnell by Christmas.

I love ABBA's S.O.S, makes me cry every time for some reason.

He has nice hair I agree! Very shiny.

Jane Damned with faint praise

Raahh the voices on that song are just perfect. It reminds me of The Carpenters (OK I'm old, so no one else will know them). Beautiful pitch on a lot of their songs that can just make you stand still and listen

Aw Louis is so nice!

Noisy, yes I’m 43. We used to go to a dodgy dive in Beckenham on Fridays & the Venue on Saturdays, I’ve probably spilt snakebite in you at some point

trying to find something positive to say

Raahh

OH just said it's like Janet Devlin has come back as a boy

See- we have de-railed ourselves now with Abba talk.

Which is fine by me.

We would be banned by Digital Spy

Rousette most of us are old here

Noisy well, I didn't check if he was wearing shoes...

nancy I spilled plenty of snakebite in me back in the day

Rou , I heard ' goodbye to love' by the carpenters the other day. Another tear jerker!

I'm 47 at Christmas.

And 19 in my head.

This would be so much better , if he was wearing a frock. Raahh are you a TRA now?

Do you have to keep on subject on Digital Spy?

I joined in the past, was on there for about 6 months but got sooooo bored, very cliquey, whereas on MN I'm just in my own clique and don't care

Winner takes it all is such a lovely sad song, I listened to that and Take a Bow by Madonna when I was dumped at 16.

roussette I also love The Carpenters!

Digital Spy could do with removing some sticks out of their arses- I used to comment of the Four in a Bed threads but then fun police turned up and banned any sort of negative commentary so I had to leave. I also am now at work and can't watch FIAB anyway.

Rou : we're a click but we love newcomers too! We're just perfect : we leave nobody out!
Dermot has lost weight I think.
I like these guys. I understand them! Lol

Ahh, now.

I loathe the Carpenters.

Around the same time, as the Abba resurgence, there was also a Carpenters revival, and greatest hits. If a voice can be too saccharine, then that is how I describe Karen. I am in a minority, i know

There is a great album of cover versions, came out in about 94-ish. Some very unusual acts involved.
