X FACTOR- It's the SEMI FINAL- It's ABBA night! Will the 'Winner take it all' or will we be sending out and 'S.O.S' ? ****Sat/Sun 8pm****

[Raahh]

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?

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
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 ).

I need lots of snacks.

Agree that Rod S should retire!

Destiny : good. Dalton deserves a break. His story was harrowing but his turned it around,. I hope he wins.

Piggy Sorry

not sorry

I really really want TTT to go now, preferably before he sings again

Talking of Xmas lights, many years ago not long after the London tube bombings, I was in Oxford St early evening, came out of the tube station, crowds everywhere, pp being varied off in stretchers, police all over. asked an officer what was happening as was convinced it was a bomb. Officer said, it’s Westlife turning on the Xmas lights...! 😱

80s he was so bloody terrible. Put him out of his misery. I know he's getting on, but have some dignity, man.

I really want Dalton to sing a Prince song. Only cos I think he is actually good enough to do it.

I don't like the arrangement of this. It's changed the rhythm and Mariahed it.

Destiny! Oh dear. Westlife! I didn't really get them to be honest. Too many key changes.

Destiny

Oh, Emilie Sande.

Remember when you couldn't get through a series without her being featured every week?

Had Dalton upset the stylist? Did the snatch the pleather from Brenda in his way out & hastily attach fringing?

Sorry, but I like Dalton, and I did not like that. He has no real need to warble.

A nice enough version of a really dull song.

Ayda looks nice ; baby blue!
I do like her. I'm not sure why but I do.

Dalton has upset the stylist and the musical arranger.

Evening.

I'm pissed off we have to hear the girls and TTT sing again

Love his voice but that was a boring song!

Has Ayda got different hair?

Outraged Eric is an Outraged Eric now!

Ayda has had her hair dyed I think! It looks different.

And he’s got a lace shirt with shiny trousers - what are they trying to make him look like?

Dalton's trousers should be burnt in hell

dillite

A and A : they are sweet girls.

I still thin Dalton is great, but that was a pretty dull performance.
