Charlottechicken Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well, if he sings 'Could it be Magic' (a very good song!) I will have to vote for him I bet snoop doggy Leona doesn't keep chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Nah, he's singing: Oh Chookie, you came, and you gave me your Eglu And we bought a White Star.... Oh Chookie, we watched as she scratched through the Hemcore, Then we went to the bar...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Oh no! I'm reliably informed that it is in fact Ray that has been miss singing 'Mandy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I would have put money on him doing something like 'Copacabana', don't know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'm a bit behind the times with X Factor this time round. Is it the final tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 According to 'tinterweb they are singing: Leona: Without You & Could It Be Magic Ray: My Way & Mandy Ben: Somebody To Love & I Made It Through the Rain The MacDs: Shang-a-lang & Can't Smile Without You My guess is that Ray will go this week as he has the most cringemaking selection of songs, with the McDs and him in the bottom two.

Charlottechicken Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Well if Leona can pull those two songs off she deserves to win. They are both slow but I think they need a voice with strength and depth, and I have never heard them sung by a woman, so I will have to make sure I don't miss it. Should be interesting!

Christian Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Guys! been at work for 5 days but back in time for x factor!!!!! It has to been Ben and Leona (both their 2nd songs) they were fantastic! Christian x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 WOW!!! what a star Leona was tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I think Ben came over all American Idol with his unaccompanied rendition. A chap called Bo, on American Idol, did the same thing with a Badlands song last year, he came second in the end. They all sounded wishy washy for the first song, apart from Leona and her Take That version of Could it be Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Shocking - they were far better than Rancid Ray this week, and for the first time, I thought they deserved to stay in. Ben was, as always, FANTASTIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Gutted McDonald bros went out, they have grown on me more and more each week and i actually think the dark haired one is quite cute! Ray should have gone. I thought of you Shona, when i saw David Seaman on family fortunes. Glad you managed to catch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I dont like chucky but I thought Ray singing my way was very good saturday night. Thank goodness the macdonalds are out, they are ok - but x factor they aint. I really liked both Leona's perfomances I was a Ben fan right from the auditions, but I didnt like either performance and his voice is beginning to grate on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 All my Christmas dreams came at once! You're easy to please Shona! I loved it when his Dad was asked to 'name something you use binoculars for' and he answered, "to see things in the distance" you don't say! I haven't been a Macdonalds fan at all, but I do think they did a really strong performance on Saturday. It was close between them and Ray, although I have to agree with you Chelsea - Ben is starting to sound a bit too grufty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Right folks, I'm going to have a bit of a moan I know we all have different tastes, which is what I love about this forum, especially when it comes to the x factor. I think Ray is ok, Leona is my favourite, but Ray I think has great personality and is a great entertainer, I can see him on the west end any day.But please don't call him chucky I've never seen the film, but I do know its horrible, and I always associate it with that awful murder of that little boy in the 80s They were apparently influenced by the film. I know you are'nt saying it in that way, just that he looks like him, can't see it myself, sorry to go on, its probably me being too sensitive but had to get it off my chest!
