X FACTOR -Celebrity Edition- It's the LIVE SHOWS already!

[Raahh]

Doesn't time fly, when they really shorten the format?

I think the audition stuf was just a bit pointless, and now that Jenny has been re-instated, and Vinnie Jones is in, without even having to sing, it makes it seem like they all got a nice jolly abroad. The Only one who took is seriously was Jezza Edwards, who was deluded into thinking he could actually sing .

Re-cap of who is who (can't find a proper list of who is singing what other than Megan is singing an original again)

Simon and the Groups

The Islanders- Love Island alumni
V5- female group of Social media influencers
Try Star- Rugby players .
Max and Harvey- twins with a CBBC show

Louis and the Unders
Olivia Olson- best known for Love Actually- aged about 12
Megan McKenna- Someone from Towie. Who has already released things.
Kevin McHale- a singer from Glee
Jonny Labey- actor and perdormer. Probably better at dancing.

Nicole and the Overs
Ricki Lake- Presenter and actress.
Victoria Ekanoye- Corrie Actress
Martin Bashir- Journalist. Not known for singing.
Vinnie Jones- Footballer and actor
Jenny Ryan- The Vixen , from The Chase. Was dumped. Is back.

So there you are.

I have vodka. No Stoptover for me. No sirree.

.

Oh, and we will find out who leaves tonight, no Sinday show anymore!

Please excuse the the spelling errors , I am attempting to type with a dog sitting right under my chin.

Raahh, the live shows already? Goodness me they are rattling through it arn't they?
Ds2 reminded me about one of Robbie Williams groups who wanted to change their name and how funny the suggestions were! (Not one of the Robsters better ideas really. ) that was a hi light in a dull season.

The twins and V 5 ( from the post office) are huge on social media so I think they will do well. Unless the kidz are not watching this.. ( too busy grooming their eyebrows being influenced by others etc)
Thanks for the thread !

80s it's nuts!I feel like I have been robbed of the the usual X Factor experience, all the drama over who gets who, and discussions over poor song choices and Dermott whispering furitively in the wings in an 'arena' .

Yep, the six chair thing was brutal but oddly entertaining. All gone!
Will they have enough acts till Christmas?

Well, they should have , there are still about 12 acts and the live shows generally start around now. The last couple if years, I have noticed the series finishing a bit earlier than it used to (so not in line with ending up with a Christmas number one).

I will miss next week, my sister is having a Hallowe'en party, I have said I will go. I don't feel I will miss much.

And yy- I really kind of liked the 6 chair challenge in a warped kind of way. I feel like having celebs on , means the judges won't be as judgy as they should be.

They will fawn over all the celebs, I agree.
It'll turn into a ' we love you 'feast. Even if they are not very good.

Strictly is doing Halloween tonight. Having Halloween in the week causes so many problems ! Lol.

I do like the Strictly Hallowe'en specials .Can't discuss it on their thread. They scare me. Which is appropriate, for Hallowe'en.
So, I will probably witter about it here for a bit, as it might be more interesting than the X Factor anyway .

So far I've enjoyed some of the music on Strictly, I always loved the Gwen Stefani song.

Apart the Backstreet Boys they have steered away from the obvious, but I don't get the relevance of Small town boy by Bronski Beat- which is not scary, and is about being gay and has nothing to with Stranger things apary from the 80s connection .

Karim is good but the judges don't seem to like him.

80s They've given him 10s the last few weeks. I think the them fell flat.

And went way over the heads of most on the the Stricty thread, it seems. I love Stranger things- I knew it was Dustin and Eleven. If you've never seen the show, it would mean nothing.

And the song was all wrong.

*theme

I couldn't get into stranger things but dh liked it. I like karim a lot.
Michelle looks the same every week and the judges love them!

This is one of the few properly Hallowe'en things all night. It's been an odd show.

I do like Michelle though.

Michelle is good too. She has charisma.

They do both look great.

She is lovely. I won't repeat the rest of the Ru Paul Charisma mantra on here...

I was served n Boots today by the assistant manager ,who was wearing the same eye make up as Mostsi. He looked great .

*Motsi

I don't watch ru Paul either Raahh! The trailer was enough to put me off! I've heard it's good though!

Motsi is nice. I like her enthusiasm and eye make up tonight.
It has been an odd show though!

Billie Eilish!

DD1 not happy with the quality of the singing. (Massive fan).

I must admit, I do like Billie.

Billie is cool! I love that song ; it has an almost cartoonish vibe to it!

However, using it in this context, really misses the point of the song!

Hmm, it wasn't sung well by the singer there but kelvin is good!!
Billies set at Glastonbury this year was v good. She is so young too.

Raahh, just you and me on here today then! Hanging on in there for ' new' X factor! Lol
