'X FACTOR- It's BIG BAND week- and for someone, it's time to face the final curtain... ***Sat 8.10pm/Sun 8pm***

[Raahh]

Here, in case extra alcohol or earplugs are required, are the song choices-

GIRLS
Bella Penfold - Strong by London Grammar
Scarlett Lee - Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli
Shan Ako - Summertime by Billie Holiday

GROUPS
Acacia & Aaliyah - Act Our Age (Original)

OVERS
Danny Tetley - My Way by Frank Sinatra

BOYS
Anthony Russell - Beyond The Sea by Bobby Darin
Brendan Murray - Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera
Dalton Harris - Listen by Beyonce

Now, I used to love Big band, and it's not unusual to use 'modern' songs with a big band twist. But it has to work- I said last week, Rhyd doing Shirley Bassey's version of 'Get the Party started' - that worked.

I fail to see how 'Say Something' is going to work with a big band. It's a really hard song, and even Christina, with lungs the size of a Zeppelin, sometimes sounds lost in the mix. Brenda will just vanish with a Big Band.

I'm cross TTT is doing 'Beyond the Sea' one of my favourites- Will Young on Pop Idol did a great version.

I think A and A- still without a proper mentor - have been hung out to dry. The original song is a cop out- no-one has bothered to find a decent song that suits their style.

And bloody 'Listen' - Beyonce. Again. Really?

So, see y'all later!
(It's only an hour and half- we can do this!)

Destiny
[Outraged] DH just said the same thing
My god he's shit FFS

So now he looks like a drunk at the end of a wedding, as well as sounding like one

He doesn’t scrub up well does he? He still looks rough as fuck...! 😀

Drugs will do that to ya. We had a man at work yesterday who's been a drug addict since he was 13, he's 28 now. He was completely destroyed mentally and physically and looked like someone twice his age. It was sad, so very sad.

Not really a fan of Roboscouse, but that bit with Rooney was cute.

The song, however, is shit. Like a drunk at a wedding.

That was a bit better than last week.
I think he'll survive.

No I do not want to download Anthony's song. Get him off the stage

Hey it's better than when he had ISSUES

and also when he had DEMONS

and also when he had the EYE OF THE TIGER

Ah Brits do love the underdog!

I think he’s going to win this - the Louis fans seem to be the main voters

Destiny no, he looked like he had been thrown out of the back of club, and left with empties.

Pawnee

Yeah but not that much Destiny

You were super in to it - the polite way of saying off his face

He may well win.
Louis really does champion him too.
That will help

He’ll win cos he’s WERKING CLASS

Ayda's make-up is awful. It looks quite trashy.

Simon will have a hissy fit if he wins. What on earth will he do with him?

dillite he will be quietly dumped in the reject room, alongside Matt Cardle, Matt Terry & Ben WhoNow

You know it's Xmas when Julia Roberts is doing a Xmas ad.

Aww Lidl Muffins

(Where’s me cannon?)

Oh, I've got the Muppets now.

They are far better than TTT.

Julia Roberts looks hawwt in that ad

Do muppets eat bread and crumpets?
Really?

I have muppets too. No Julia Roberts or Lidl.
