I said the same thing today and The Ballad of Lucy Jordan is not a common song. How strange that we both thought of that song!

Spooky.

We'll have to have a range of shoes called the Lucy Jordans.

Opportunity Knocks had the clap-o-meter.
It was probably having the clap that made old Teabag like that programme more.

Its been announced that the winners song is going to be Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Diana sung this at boot camp, but, even though I want Diana to win, I think that all the contestants still in would be able to do their own take on it. I'd especially like to here a rock ballad version of it by Ruth (whos my 2nd favourite after Diana)

I'm now reading it may not be "Hallelujah" some sources are saying its going to be "Born To Try" originally done by Delta Goodrem, which would fit better with the X Factor winners song "mould" but Simon Cowell has been associated with "Hallelujah" a few times this year it was sung a number of times on American Idol, it was on the boot camp set list and its on Il Divo's album.

I'd prefer Hallelujah though, as I love the song.

Come on Alexandra........................I believe that Britney won`t be giving a masterclass this week so perhaps Alexandra might have time to give Britney one.....

( a masterclass obviously)

No she isn't.

Though she will be giving a masterclass in how to shave a tuppence.

Loved Diana's second REM song, the first was dire. Hopefully she'll make it through to next week, and be able to sing songs more suited to her voice. A voice I've decided sounds like a young Cilla, in that it's very nasal, and comes from the back of her throat. That must be why I like her, as I love early Cilla.

Alexandra and Ruth were amazing too, but won't be getting my votes.

That's what I don't like about Diana. To me she sounds like Cilla on Speed (crossed with Little Richard) and I thought Harry Hill had it just right, on TV Burps last week, when he said she did a Kenneth Williams impression. It's a shame because, underneath all the gimmicks, there is a good voice.

P.S. Laura's voted for Oggin again.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wins as all the little girls are in love with him.

Right, I'm off to vote again, to cancel Laura's Eggnog vote.

Lilly · 29-11-2008, 22:41

No way should Ruth have gone tonight.

She was excellent.

I don't think Diana was at her best tonight. I actually thought she might have gone this time.

West Ender · 29-11-2008, 22:42

Well, Oggin's still in.

Oh, the power of the under-10s' votes.

shillelagh · 29-11-2008, 22:47

Ruth shouldnt have gone ..... it shoud have been eoghan ..... but thats the way the public vote. He's probably got all of northern ireland voting for him!!!!

lindsay ormerod · 29-11-2008, 23:09

Diana atrocious yet again and JML marginally better, Ruth should not have gone, can't believe the Gonk is still in either! And if they let Diana murder my all time fave "Halleleujah" there will be hell to pay. Grrrrrr

andrewb · 29-11-2008, 23:25

Her second song. Ahh. :] :]
