As well as the Abba songs, each act is singing a 'Song that will get them to the final' a.k.a tenuous reason to just sing anything.

And I think Robbie is back. Have we missed him?

Girls
Scarlett Lee
This Is Me by Kesha
Winner Takes It All by ABBA

Groups
Acacia & Aaliyah
Blinded By Your Grace / I Win by Stormzy / Lethal Bizzle
Money, Money, Money by ABBA

Overs
Danny Tetley
This Is My Life by Shirley Bassey
Thank You For The Music by ABBA

Boys
Anthony Russell
Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi
Name Of The Game by ABBA

Brendan Murray
Run by Snow Patrol
I Have A Dream by ABBA

Dalton Harris
Feeling Good by Muse
S.O.S. by ABBA

A mixed bag- I think Dalton will have a good stab at 'Feeling Good' (not really sure why it is attributed to Muse, the arrangement is very similar to the original on their version).
Simon might be sulking, but 'Winner Takes it all' could be a, erm, winner Grin
I can't stand TTT or Bon Jovi, so that's a no, and Brenda is going end up sounding like the Westlife version of 'I had a Dream'. Only as if a breathless little girl was singing it. (I hope he gets a stool for the key change Grin ).

I need lots of snacks. Grin

Tetley was quite good at the end

nancy75 · 24/11/2018 21:16

And of course better than Tony

NoisyBrain · 24/11/2018 21:16

Poor ABBA guy trying to find something positive to say

Piggywaspushed · 24/11/2018 21:16

Nice pause Bjorn.....

damning with faint praise.

uglyandlovingit · 24/11/2018 21:17

The two girls were the best there, I thought.

uglyandlovingit · 24/11/2018 21:17

Haha! That Abba guy was horrified!

BlancheM · 24/11/2018 21:17

Awkward 😂

nancy75 · 24/11/2018 21:18

The girls version of Abba song was the best one, they know they don’t sing like ABBA & they don’t want to, it was better than a bad copy like Brenda or TTT

The80sweregreat · 24/11/2018 21:18

Oh well. At least they are doing the tour, more than I ever will!
Who will get the push?

dillite · 24/11/2018 21:20

It's really hard to guess who will get the boot tonight, they were all kinda dreadful

nancy75 · 24/11/2018 21:20

80s don’t write yourself off! I’ll go on it with you next year, we can be the old version of the 2 girls ( we can sing the Eastenders theme tuneGrin)

Raahh · 24/11/2018 21:20

nancy that is why I liked it. Covers are better when they improve on a song,imo, not just sound like the original, really. It's why the Joe Cocker version of 'A Little Help from my friends' works. And the Wet Wet Wet version sounds...wet. Grin

Love the singing boxes! Good song.
(Shame Amazon is such a shit employer)

So many perfume ads.

uglyandlovingit · 24/11/2018 21:21

Is there no results show tomorrow then?

The80sweregreat · 24/11/2018 21:22

Nancy! Lol I really cannot sing a note! Cats run away! I get paid .. to stop singing!

Raahh · 24/11/2018 21:22

Two acts leave tonight, I think. There is another show at 8pm tomorrow.

So how many get through to the final?

The80sweregreat · 24/11/2018 21:22

' anyone can fall in love'
As Sharon has discovered!

uglyandlovingit · 24/11/2018 21:22

Brenda and the two girls I think

NoisyBrain · 24/11/2018 21:23

Good.

nancy75 · 24/11/2018 21:23

80s you & me bothGrin you’ve seen enough to know we don’t need to be able to sing Grin

Raahh · 24/11/2018 21:23

I really hate that perfume ad with Dakota Johnson and her mates swimming. I can't even remember what perfume it's for, so it's not exactly doing it's job Grin

The80sweregreat · 24/11/2018 21:23

Dalton is back! Yay

NoisyBrain · 24/11/2018 21:23

The80sweregreat · 24/11/2018 21:24

A and a are through! Gosh
