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

Boys

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

Brendan Murray

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

See you tomorrow

Goodnight every one- see y'all tomorrow.
Hopefully, with chocolate peanuts. Grin

Yep Anthony defo off his face tonight. Louis should never have been allowed to bring a friend on, is so unfair.
Glad to see the back of Tetley and Brenda, Tetley is just damned dreadful, Brenda is insipid but I bet he's a nice lad. Imagine having to live in the house with Tetley and Scouse Anthony.

I love A&A! I not that's not a popular opinion, but they are brave enough to do something different. I've earned to Scarlett and obviously Dalton is the best singer by far. So it has to be Anthony out tomorrow for me.

I always watch on catch up so read this thread at the same time. Always makes me smile 😁 I don't know wh6 the hell I keep watching as it's just got so shit in the past few years. The remaining 4 are the best of a bad bunch imo. I don't want any if them to win (bit like the apprentice really!)
TTT's walk is a bit like micky Flanagan's piss take!!

Aridane · 25/11/2018 10:29

Sorry -missed what Dalton’s back story was? What was it?

Onecutefox · 25/11/2018 15:02

It's in the news, Aridane. Google his name and click news.

JaneJeffer · 25/11/2018 16:31

I'm just catching up and fucking hell Robbie and Ayda's outfits!!

JaneJeffer · 25/11/2018 16:36

And teabag has borrowed his nan's jacket.

Destinysdaughter · 25/11/2018 17:08

Sorry missed you all last night, had newish DP over and he hates X Factor! Just catching up now. Was impressed by Scarlett actually but her outfits are still hideous! Dalton was amazing as ever and I’m actually going to pick up the phone and VOTE for him tonight! 😀

JaneJeffer · 25/11/2018 17:13

I thought Brenda was more bearable this week and then he gets voted off Grin

Some very boring song choices this week.

The80sweregreat · 25/11/2018 18:12

I felt a bit bad when Danny was saying' people only see me as a pub /cruise singer 'as that is how I do see him. He might cash in on the publicity though and his on the tour so it could be worse for him i guess!

AutumnCrow · 25/11/2018 18:17

Dalton is a real treasure. I hope he wins.

nancy75 · 25/11/2018 19:24

Hi all, checking in for later

80s hows the head today? Grin

Aridane · 25/11/2018 19:25

Thank you, onecute - Imhad thought posters were talking about what was said in the show last night rather than what’s in the press

4nonblondes · 25/11/2018 19:32

Oh, glad I spotted this thread. Didn't realise it was on tonight too.
Will they pick the top two tonight?

uglyandlovingit · 25/11/2018 19:35

Robo Scouse is the worst of the 4, but the girls deserve to go because they have had enough chances.

Raahh · 25/11/2018 19:37

Oh my. I'm watching Strictly.

I know we said the singers on that were awful- but

Rod Stewart. Why??
Painful doesn't cover it.

The girls have been very unlucky, and if no-one on the show wanted to work with the style of music that they sing, then they should never have been put through, really. They are obviously not ever going to release an album of Dream Girls covers. (thank god.) Grin

Oh, and I ventured in to my local shopping centre today (I try to avoid it), and it seems I missed the Christmas lights switch on on Friday night!

We have the same ugly upside down white and red skinny upside 'cone' tree as last years, and red lights everywhere (bloody awful).

I missed out out on Edele from B*Witched , Kevin Simm 'Winner of the Voice'(they didn't even mention Liberty X Grin), and a host of others that the poster mentioned, that had been on BGT and other shows.

Gutted, I am. Grin (And have had 'C'est la Vie' stuck in my head all afternoon, even though i missed it!).

Piggywaspushed · 25/11/2018 19:56

Gah! I had only JUST got C'Est La Vie out of my head after it was an answer on Pointless! Damn you, Raahh !

The80sweregreat · 25/11/2018 19:57

I feel fine thanks! Had a lazy morning and lots of tea.

The80sweregreat · 25/11/2018 19:57

I love c'est la vie! A 90s classic.

Destinysdaughter · 25/11/2018 19:58

So, I did it, I picked up the phone and voted for Dalton! Not done that since the early days...😀
