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

This is a bit whiney.

Anyone know Flag Day by The Housemartins? That's a sad song.

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:19

Is that a plastic skirt?

PavlovianLunge · 27/10/2018 21:19

I like Molly, but that was rough as a badger’s ball-bag.

Destinysdaughter · 27/10/2018 21:19

That was snoresville

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2018 21:19

YourOwn you'll have to be kicked off the thread now

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 21:19

What was the song?

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:20

Only Housemartins song I know is ' happy hour' !
Louis is very good I think : firm but fair.

Er- that was dull. And if that was her guilty pleasure, it was dull. She would have been better off singing something fun, ffs.

I've never heard of it. Simon did let her down.

Holy cow, I agree with Robbie on this one!

Roussette · 27/10/2018 21:21

Ayda will not be back next season. Too big for her boots.

It's pissing me off how Knob and Ayda are propping each other up

nancy75 · 27/10/2018 21:21

That was boring! Has she only just learnt to talk, I knows she’s young...

Destinysdaughter · 27/10/2018 21:21

Gosh a lot of pp are getting ill!

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:22

She's only 16!!

Piggywaspushed · 27/10/2018 21:22

80s I'm astonished!!

The Housemartins are / were ace. Paul Heaton has the greatest voice. Like a cool Danny Tetley Grin

TheFairyCaravan · 27/10/2018 21:22

I've never heard of that song

Piggywaspushed · 27/10/2018 21:23

Maybe they'll have a Queen week??!

PawneeParksDept · 27/10/2018 21:23

I'm behind right now as I had to pause it.

Misunderstood was hugely disappointing I thought.

Wrong song after wrong song tonight

yes, but Simon, does she know that song? How is it her guilty pleasure?

'Caravan of Love' Is a great House martins song. And Me and the Farmer.

Only Robbie could get away with that jacket

dillite · 27/10/2018 21:23

Whatever happened to the scary eyed 16-year old from a few years ago? Did she do anything after being on the show?

NoisyBrain · 27/10/2018 21:24

Piggy Build by The Housemartins makes me cry. Beautiful song.

The80sweregreat · 27/10/2018 21:24

I loved happy hour but I don't know any other songs by them! I always think of fat boy slim and the beautiful south though : they all seemed to know or be on each other's songs!

dillite · 27/10/2018 21:24

I missed the last one, kitten got the shits in the hallway- probably from hearing whatever was on TV.

MrsDoylesBodyBags · 27/10/2018 21:25

Hello everyone, I'm late to the party. I couldn't really call any of these songs Guilty Pleasures I loved the Maxi Priest song ^until Misunderstood^ destroyed it. They look like Zig and Zag
