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

Now these 2 doing MC Hammer would have been great

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2018 21:12

Gerard Way does a brilliant version of Superstar

Roussette · 27/10/2018 21:12

80s love that one. Love so many of them too, we've only just begun is one of my faves, rainy days and mondays, and close to you, oh yes

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2018 21:12

Yes Nancy

Piggywaspushed · 27/10/2018 21:12

The Man That Got Away : Judy Garland ; Nothing Compares 2 U (the Sinead version) ; Dreams : The Cranberries ; George Michael : Father Figure.

Sorry, just my list of tearjerkers.

Also Colleen by Martin Stephenson and also a song by 10000 Maniacs : Verdi Cries. But getting obscure now!

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:12

They remind me a bit of Wham! Might be the clothes though.

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 21:13

Oh man, even these two sound off tonight.

Raahh · 27/10/2018 21:13

They have missed a trick. They could have done anything - Chaka Demus and Pliers, Pinky and Perky

The world was their lobster.

This is a bit flat , and not guilty enough.

I loved the original of this song, can’t remember who sang it, anyone know?

dillite · 27/10/2018 21:13

Why is he wearing a puffy jacket? Getting ready to be voted out already?

Roussette · 27/10/2018 21:13

These aren't such an assault on the eardrums as previous acts

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:14

Adele can make me ' have something in the eye' at times. She is good at emotion.

Yourownpersonaljesus · 27/10/2018 21:14

Noisy and nancy I also frequented The Venue. I lived walking distance from there. Did either of you go to Paramount City or Tuesday night at Camden Palace with Jonathan and Eko?

Raahh · 27/10/2018 21:15

Piggy I love 10000 Maniacs- Natalie Merchant had a fabulous voice.

No wonder my kids have said they don't want clothes for Christmas if this is in fashion

Yourownpersonaljesus · 27/10/2018 21:15

Sorry I know that's nothing to do with X factor!

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 21:16

Yourownpersonaljesus I was at school / 6th form in my venue days, I didn’t do much on weeknights!

PavlovianLunge · 27/10/2018 21:16

I liked that more than I was expecting to.

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 21:16

Yourown I went to Camden on a Tuesday once or twice.

It was always an exercise in dodging the swinging dreadlocks of over-excited grebos on the dancefloor though Grin

dillite · 27/10/2018 21:16

Is one of them dressed as a greenhouse?

Raahh · 27/10/2018 21:17

Destiny i think it was maxi Priest?

Oh Raahh another fan!! Hoorah!

Annoyingly, I have no CD player in my car anymore so can't play my album.

Destinysdaughter · 27/10/2018 21:17

Found it!
