I thought it might be that, so I linked the song but put TBA because I'm not sure it's been confirmed?

I think it will be great to see her perform. She's a fan of the show I think as she commented on Ella's performance of Believe last season.

Great thread opener Zack, lots of great info

Thanks. I'm so excited that the live shows are back tbh. I think it will be an interesting 10 weeks to say the least.

Soppyfan · 12/10/13 - 05:47

Oh yeah and since the live shows are here, I wonder if we'll get another Series of that game called Real Time.

Oh and yes folks, You Choose will be returning again so you all will have a chance to do the rankings of the Top 12 and so on but not until the Grand Final on the real show. :cool:

richie4eva · 12/10/13 - 05:48

Here's to hoping the awful Group Song has been scrapped

Can't believe it is the lives already, it has gone so fast this year and no joke acts which makes a nice refreshing change

Ok, Shelley may be a novelty act of sorts but hopefully she will go early and we won't lose any acts with potential due to her despite how underwhelming this final 12 may be

I agree with you Shelley is the closest there is to a joke act. At least there's no Rylan or Christopher this year...:o

xTonix · 12/10/13 - 14:26

Hello all and Zack my mate

I'm looking forward to the girls and Sam B tonight, they are my early favs

but blimey XF is on for a long time tonight, I take it that there will be one act preforming and then 6 years worth of adverts. :rolleyes:

HMO · 12/10/13 - 14:30

Thanks for the thread.

The last two first live shows have been a bit underwhelming. I hope we get some great stand out performances, as well as a great show stopper (like we had with Danyl a few years ago).

I don't mind the group song, but some of last years' were atrocious - they sometimes turned off their mics or something!

JustArun · 12/10/13 - 14:53

Zack's threads are always the best!

I hope Miss Dynamix can get through this first week

Hey Toni

And yeah, the adverts are longer than the show these days

Thanks guys.

On Miss Dynamix, they are great but I think the pregnancy has ruined their chances tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if the producers tried to get rid of them like they did when they found out about Gamu's visa issues.

I get what you mean but I really hope they don't as it didn't really stop Rochelle from performing even after the six month stage. From what I've seen of the pictures her bump isn't even showing.

They're the only act I've really grown to like from the final 12 and it is a very dire final 12.

I also think this could lead to their disadvantage in the live shows. Before finding this out I was sold that they would be the last group standing but now I think that it will be Rough Copy.

Looking forward to seeing Abi,Luke and Rough Copy.

elasticlove · 12/10/13 - 17:29

Poor Lorna.

richie4eva · 12/10/13 - 21:33

Some filler and a group song to cover that 30 minute overlap with Strictly perhaps?

Otherwise god help whichever acts have to perform in that 30 minutes

alcockell · 12/10/13 - 23:45

Quite.

alcockell · 12/10/13 - 23:53

OK - several of us to have a spare tab open to Youtube... I think..
And will Google's servers take the strain?
