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?

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.

Simon better watch his comments like last time

He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket

If someone sang like that in my pub, I'd change my pub.

If Wandies fans are voting for this tuneless bellend then their love for Louis really is blind.

Oh gosh, they have dressed Scarlett is yet another awful outfit. They really have no idea have to dress fat people, do they?

Wait, Is it not Abba night tonight? Why aren't they singing Abba?

Jersey? Was Bon Jovi from the Channel Islands?

Every time Robbie corrects Ayda's pronunciation of semi she just doesn't get it. She thinks she forgot to say semi. Daft bint.

I think he is a dick correcting her pronunciation

I've said it before but I have a friend who is obsessed with him and votes for him like mad every week

Yes I at her "But I just love him" statements

Yup, Wandies fans , by and large, aren't bothered about whether he can sing . They aren't voting for him, are they.

The love for Louis is greater than the love for Anthony.
Louis having a dig there! He wasn't a wendie for nothing

dill - 2nd song presumably - this round, I think, is anything they want

You know it’s game over when they describe your act as ‘fun’.

dillite they are singing two songs -a 'song to get them to the final' and an Abba song.

Don't think I've posted on here as yet but have been following each week as it's what gets me through this dross. I love A and A. Think they're the most relevant of any of the acts. Think TTT has had his day. I love that song - on a drunken night out - but that was shocking.

Outraged New Jersey I believe

As a fellow big girl

Boiler suits and play suits are a massive no

The worst thing you can wear with a tummy

Is she overruling the stylists or are they shafting her?

Oh well ; Anthony is on tour. People will sing along and have a good time.
He'll be forgotten by next years thread but that's life eh?

Also, the Wandie fans will want retribution for the fact they didn't actually win (not that it did them any harm).

Can’t believe we have to watch them all again, I must have been really bad in a previous life to deserve this on a Saturday night

I had such grandma moment today- DD asked if she can put some music on so I said yes. What did she put on? Cardi fucking B shit! I was like, no, no, no, no, no. There will be no such rubbish in this house!

Oh- the Apple advert! DD1 is beside herself. Billie Eilish (though you don't hear much of her) is her favourite singer.

Oh no! It turns out that Dalton does have a sob story, and it's awful 

Top marks to him for not wheeling it out for sympathy votes though.

I can't abide Cardi B.

Her child is called Kulture.

Oh, the irony.

He has had an awful life, poor bloke.
