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

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 Grin.

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.

Grin.

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

I think Martin will go. Unless people vote for him to wind up Simon!

AutumnCrow · 09/11/2019 20:42

Here I am! Better late than never hopefully.

It really is a festival of dreadfulness, isn't it? Grin

Are any of these three single? Nicole might be on the lookout for a new sporty bf.

Louis is being a bitch tonight.

That was some excellent comeback!

Roussette · 09/11/2019 20:43

OH MY GOLLY GOOD GOD

I have avoided this sleb version of XF till now, but am at a loose end

And YE GODS what the hell is this horror?

Please tell me why all the golden buzzers or whatever they're called have gone and why - in that case- people are still singing?!

Vinnie Jones was beyond appalling! As were all the rest.

p.s. I did see a bit of one programme where the girl from the Chase sang and then I read she was out. Now I know this is CRAP becaue of that! She was monumental

JaneJeffer · 09/11/2019 20:43

I agree with Louis. Levi is way better than the other two.

The80sweregreat · 09/11/2019 20:43

I've no idea who this Megan girl is but I hope she wears some better clothes this week. The dead muppets on the legs the other week was a disaster!

AutumnCrow · 09/11/2019 20:44

I think I'd rather see Louis Walsh having a crack at 'When Irish Eyes Are Smiling' than watch any more of 'the celebrities'

Lockshunkugel · 09/11/2019 20:44

I’ve removed my hearing aids when Vinnie Jones started up - it’s a big improvement!

80s the way this evening is going- and I love to watch, tongue in cheek and all that , have done for years- I would gladly vote for Martin.Grin

Something about it all seems very pre-ordained. More so than normal.

Rousette they brought her back but she's crap.

dillite · 09/11/2019 20:45

rousette Jenny was out but now she's back again.

The ads are more interesting and have more personality than the show. I actually look forward to the ads.

musicinspring1 · 09/11/2019 20:45

@Roussette no one really understands the chairs - not even Simon who calls them Golden Buzzers after his other show Britain’s Got Talent. And it’s not the same as the normal chair format where you can get bumped off the chairs later in the show. It’s a pile of bonkers.

Roussette · 09/11/2019 20:46

Jane I must have been there on a good night!

The80sweregreat · 09/11/2019 20:46

Wonderwall in a breathy voice is wrong on so many levels!
This slowing down songs thing is out of control.

Curry's ad is bad.

Raahh · 09/11/2019 20:47

80s I was thinking the same.

If you must have a cover of it, Mike Flowers is the way to go Grin

dilitte I'm homing in on the ads!

music my brain is too tiny to take this all in. I call all this BGTXF don't know what I'm talking about stuff.

Roussette · 09/11/2019 20:48

Raahh I've missed all this total nonsense. !

The80sweregreat · 09/11/2019 20:49

Mike flowers pop is a wonderful cover Raahh! I love that version.
I bought it on 7 inch cd ! ( shows age)

By next week, the JL ad should have aired. In theory.

Not that they've any money. Might be a mash up of previous ads. Grin.

(I used to work there, oh the scandal when they did the first advert- selling out and everythingGrin).

V 5 are so annoying.
' we're soooo crazyyyy,,'

Roussette · 09/11/2019 20:50

I'm too old for all this twaddle. I don't know anyone except Vinnie Jones. Scary
