Oh no - infighting in Camp Amie! Nondescript Spice is unhappy that Other Nondescript Spice gets to sing some part or other of the song! Here they come, and they're made up to look like villains from some sort of sci-fi porn movie from the neck up, and like it's bedtime in chavtown from the neck down. They're singing "You Really Got Me" by their musical heroes The Kinks. Here's how I imagine their song choice conversation going.

Simon: "So, what song are you going to sing this week girls?"

BA: "I dunno Simon, do you have any suggestions"

Simon: "The Kinks"

BA: "The Kinks? Isn't that like... doing it in public and getting tied up by your partner and eating food of each others bodies and stuff? I know we're desperate for votes but isn't that taking it a little far?"

Simon: "No girls, there's a band. Called The Kinks. You're thinking of the word 'Kinky'"

BA: "Oh right! What did they sing?"

Simon: "You Really Got Me"

BA: "What? You want us to sing a song by this band but you don't even know what they sang? How's that gonna work?"

Simon: "No girls, one of the songs they sang was called 'You Really Got Me'"

BA: "Ohhh right, how does it go?"

Simon (singing): "You really got me. You really got me. You really got me"

BA: "So you want us to sing this song by The Kings or whatever they're called and you don't even know how it goes?"

Simon: "NO THAT'S HOW THE GODDAMN SONG GOES"

Yes, I'm ever so cynical about The Kinks being Belle Amie's "musical heroes".

LOL

Would have been strange for two acts to sing the same song on the same night, still this IS X factor we are talking about.

Apart from that, the blog was great. Made me giggle.

Updated post-results show! Forgive me for how awful it probably is.

What makes Diana fun is you get to play "guess the lyrics" as she sings. I'm pretty sure I hear a "Hush hush gay men" early on, then something about her "Wiccan Heart". On to the second verse and apparently she likes "Jams on bread", then the bridge which appears to be a tribute to the deliciousness of limes "Limes / La-la-limes / La-la-limes...". Then Ms Vickers invites us all to "Cook a Jew", which strikes me as a little tasteless in more ways than one. It's actually not a horrible song, although the chorus is a blatant rip-off of RHCP's "Under the Bridge".

Oh wow, it must be contagious, I could have sworn I just heard Dermot ask if "Wiccan Heart" was available for download now. Also she may be pregnant - that or she just keeps clutching her stomach to prevent THE CLAW from escaping.

Can I also be painfully shameless and ask people to read my blog?

It's not as witty or grammatically correct as the others posted here but it's alright if you have nothing better to do.
