Another thread of misty-eyed nostalgia...
...Ruth doing Purple Rain and Simon continually ogling her....
...JLS and their stupid colour-coding.... ...Diana's screechy performances that needed subtitles, and the one where she appeared randomly on a swing... ...Austin crying all the time, though also actually if we're honest being quite a good singer... ...Laura lying on a fluffy rug and wailing incomprehensibly... ... Eggnog-- just existing, plus the weekly outrage as he got through, and when he ran on stage in tears when Diana went out... ... Laryngitis/bonfire night-gate.... ...Alexandra doing Listen, Toxic, and Candyman.... ...The chubby one from JLS saying 'merry christmas'.... ...Scott being hilariously sulky before disappearing back into obscurity... And this year we get a raft of reasonably pleasant karaoke singers and some VIRGINAL teenagers getting crucified by the press, to a backdrop of drugged-up celebrity guests and a bloodthirsty, chavvy lynch-mob masquerading as an audience. I miss last series!!! ![]() (sorry this was a pointless thread, just wanted to vent )

See, I loved Diana, felt sorry for her when she was ill, and had no idea about something to do with a bonfire? Could someone enlighten me? Good thread OP. |

Couldn't stand the live audience auditions either. |

The forum went into meltdown when FM's asking how she was too ill to perform but well enough to be screaming at a bonfire display. I agree with the OP I really miss last years show

Do you reckon it's too late to complain to Ofcom?

My own laugh-out-loud moments from the last series were:
- JB's classic delivery of "Merry Christmas", as per previous posts; - A dancer doing the splits on roller skates with his backside towards the camera during Diana's "Call Me"; - Daniel Evans appearing in on stage a Mini (car not skirt) for "It's Not Unusual", and his survival in the competition generally. |

The weird thing is, I can't put my finger on why the "Merry Christmas" thing was so funny. I have no idea why JB saying that in the middle of the song was so comical, it just is.
Maybe it was a similar effect to Stacey's sudden Dagenham-ese rapping during Walk this Way on the last results show. |

Eoghan Quigg avoiding the bottom two week after week was the funniest bit - this forum went absolutely mental every time. And after Diana's free pass it was literally split down the middle - you were either pro- or anti- Diana, and there was no middle ground.
Either way, we were united for our love of Ruth and hatred of Eggnog.

I miss the posts about the Youtube videos subtitling Diana's 'performances' - them gave me the biggest laughs I had all year. Esp 'There Be Bunny Herbs' (everybody hurts) which up to that point had been one of my fave songs but now I can't listen to it without crying with laughter.
