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.

Saturday is 2 hours.. Sunday hour and a half. Looong

Still crazy it's the final already. Hopefully right outcome

Noisy Tony might ring them all though

knobbie looks like he is wearing a soap dish

See you all next week

Wandie fans need to all vote for Dalton & leave TTT in Liverpool

TTT just seems so full of himself. I'm really not sure a career in the music industry will be a good thing for him..

There's still time for 'revelations' to come out before the final, or for TTT to fall off the wagon if he hasn't already.

(clutches at straws).

Platypus I don't think so either.

I need to find the remote. There are creepy crawlies on my tv.

Anyway, nighty night.

See y'all for the final weekend!

I think that this will be bad for TTT overall. He won't be able to deal with the inevitable fall that comes post- X Factor. He doesn't seem stable, sadly.

I've just seen OK magazine where Brendan replied to rumours he's in a relationship with Dalton
"He then went on to address the relationship rumours head on, saying: "The thing is where I'm from there's a lot of toxic masculinity. I'm me and He's him. I don't know why we always sexualise everything. It is what it is, and we still are what we are."
That clears that up then

Dalton and Brendon! An unusual pairing but if any of it's true I wish them luck. Maybe they could do a duet together.

Would be a cute couple if true.

Morning all!!
I'm catching up.
Who THE BUGGERING HELL is voting for Tony??!!
Totally agree this does not seem good for him. The manic running around when he's finished a song or gets through is so cringe. The tone of his voice is actually horrid to listen to. He doesn't strike me as a very nice person either. I think it's all fake. Probably grew up in Windsor FFS.

I have no idea who is voting for Tony , in real life i dont know anyone that watches this programme any more !
I can only guess its the Liverpool connection coupled with the Louis factor ( lots of fans, so lots of votes ) but I really do not know.
His done well, with a lot of help, turning his life around, but just hoping the whole thing doesn't go bad for him if he doesnt win.
I hope Dalton wins and Scarlett makes a career for herself as well.
Months of all this must take its toll on people!

If Dalton and Brendan are together, I wish them every happiness, they do look very happy in that picture. I'm not sure a duet would sound so good, though .

I have no idea who is voting for Tony, (all the Directioners, obviously- they've 'got Louis's back' on Twitter) but can't get beyond the feeling of it all being a set up him from the start- they changed the age boundaries (as they did the year Matt Cardle won) so he was in the Boys group and not the Overs, he's in Louis's category, conveniently. It all leaves a nasty taste.
The thing is, I don't think there is much support for the acts once the show is over. All this 'happy family' stuff is for the cameras, I think. I mean- how much contact do they have with the mentors once they win? Once the tour is over? Not very much I imagine. Then the follow up single might not do so well, and it's bye bye...

Another connection with Matt the Hat, that bodes well for A and A- the year that Matt won, One Direction came 4th.

Look who had the bigger career.

Good luck to Dalton, Brendon, Scarlett and A&A.
