Ok so it's the NOTW but Anne (partner no 1) recalled: ?We had our song, Just Once by James Ingram didn't he sing that last night?

Furball...

"Bruton went for George Michael's I Can't Make You Love Me which he felt "defined my moment on the X Factor". Evans, whose wife died shortly after the birth of their baby girl, dedicated Josh Groban's To Where You Are to her memory, telling the audience: "The last thing I ever sing has to be for my wife.""

MrsJamin · 26/10/2008 20:34

I was properly when hearing Daniel sing that, with the lyrics "you are watching over me from up above" - FGS!!!! The producers/Dannii must have told him he must play the deadwife card if he's in the singoff.

Next week he'll go for Ronan Keating's If Tomorrow Never comes, or maybe Without You.

It could be an entire first album theme.

Honestly, I do feel for the fellow but had real trouble telling X Factor and the Peter Kay spoof apart.

twinsetandpearls · 26/10/2008 22:30

it will be you raise me up whilst a mummified figure gradually raises from the dry ice.

Furball · 27/10/2008 06:54

sorry elf I got confused - they all sound the same to me

MrsJamin · 27/10/2008 08:43

I am really haunted by the peter kay spoof as well, especially as it had similar graphics and voiceover man!
Perhaps he'll sing "Angels" as well

lazarou · 27/10/2008 10:01

Or maybe 'girlfriend in a coma'

twinsetandpearls · 27/10/2008 10:02

pmsl lazarou.

hadababy · 27/10/2008 17:28

Did anyone else notice that Daniel wasn't there when they sang Heroes? Does anyone know why? Or was I just being completely blind and missed him?

Furball · 27/10/2008 17:35

apparently so simon said on the aftershow - the doors jammed for daniel and ruth??? so they couldn't get out onto the stage

NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 17:36

daniel and ruth were both missing on the after show bit ob itv2 Simon said that a door got jammed, which was why the 2 of them weren't there. Sounded a bit odd, tbh. And i'm sure they mimed, so can't work out how they covered their singy bits.

i really can't see daniel doing disco- it will be like the embarrassing uncle at a wedding. Bet he does 'I will survive'!

NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 17:42

i do hope they give JLS something decent, as they proved they can do a performance with their jacko thing- but their name makes me think of sofas!

OP posts:
ElfOnTheTopShelf · 27/10/2008 17:58

What is the reason behind JLS anyway?

For the doors jammed comments - they jammed the other week when one of the mentors was making their entrance with their acts, they ended up pushing the doors open. Guess they haven't fixed them

NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 18:34

i think jls might be their initials, but might be wrong.

Can't believe they haven't fixed the doors!

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 27/10/2008 18:41

app Ruth and Daniel were singing from behind the stage
I thought Austin looked a bit confuzzed at one point

Furball · 27/10/2008 18:51

I wondered if it was supposed to be so it sounded like jealous, but not sure why you wanted a group with that name.

NosfeRaahhTu - not initials as there aRe 4 of them.

ColumboPumpkinCarver · 27/10/2008 18:54

Can I just register my shock at the fact that none of the judges mentioned the big pink elephant in the room, which was that Eoghan (or whatever sp.) was out of tune, flat, and looked like a frightened mouse all through his performance. He looked like he knew he hadn't done well and was even expecting the judges to give him a hard time and then seemed relieved and reassured by their positive bullshit comments. Every week he gives a weak performance, but they never say it. It is not the kids fault, but Simon puts someone similar through every year and every year they annoy the crap out of me. Why? Why do we have to have this dross for teen/tween/granny votes? AAAAaaargh.

And breathe...

NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 19:12

i agree he wasn't good this week, but his 'imagine' was good, 'ben' dull and predictable.

Not sure why they praised him as much as they did- and his hair looked like an electric shock!

OP posts:
NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 19:14

Ahh , furball, you are right-that blows my theory the, unless it's their surnames and 2 are brothers (clutches at straws emoticon)

OP posts:
NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 19:15

stands for 'jack (the) lads swing' apparently

OP posts:
Tippychick · 27/10/2008 19:16

They asked JLS what it stood for t'other week. It was Jack the Lads .....something. I wish I were kidding, sorry.

D'you know, I can't think of any Disco tunes at all. What has been done before?

NosfeRaahhTu · 27/10/2008 19:20

this what they did last year

Rhydian - 'Go West' (made famous by Village People)
Leon - 'Relight My Fire' (Take That)
Alisha - 'Young Hearts Run Free' (Candi Staton)
Beverley - 'I'm Every Woman' (Chaka Khan)
Niki - 'Hot Stuff' (Donna Summer)
Same Difference - 'Feels Like I'm In Love' (Kelly Marie)
Hope - 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)'
(Abba)

Hope were terrible. Simon declared it was a disaster.
