I don't think they've thought this through. If Craig goes will they edit it so that Marcus appears to singing his part?
Its a bit weird. I mean surely if they wanted to eliminate each person from the advert as the weeks go on, it really should've aired when the live show started for completeness

Even on this edit it shows Sophie at the start and Amelia sing. But to me the line Kitty is 'shown' to sing sounds exactly like Amelia's version

Oh my God, Kitty is Amelia, Little Mix is The Risk, the world's going crazy! At least Janet is still Janet.

When Amelia comes back, will she regain her part?

Anyone else think the close up shots of Craig are pretty creepy?

I think the M&S advert is the best part of this entire series

And Craig's side smirk juxtaposed with the little girl is a whole new level of inappropriate

The advert was always meant to be edited as the competition progressed - however I think it's a bit clumsy they way they did it. They should at least have recorded different singing parts as well. Looks a bit odd still hearing Frankie's voice but no Frankie, and Little Mix singing along over The Risk.

And I miss Johnny's little twirl.

Even as a Misha fan I kind of want to see how they edit it if she goes out this week, which in all honesty I think is highly likely to happen.

Its probably going to be like a 'count down ' on that ad where eventually the winner is singing the whole thing.

I don't mind this whole scrubbed from the ad as they leave thing but you'd think they'd have got them all to record at the very least large chunks of the song so they could match up artist and vocal! How ridiculously amateurish to have Little Mix shown over The Risk's vocal, Marcus over Johnny still, if they're going to keep the vocal then surely they should just do what they've done with Frankie's bit and just show extended 'scenes' not someone completely different 'singing' over their part!

A freeze frame of him is.

Kitty has a solo earlier in the ad.
Hahaha Watched it again on TV. Frankie looks strange frozen like that

Is Kitty the blonde? I hardly recognise her.

They should just do what The xfactor are doing; Show each cotestant in the order they went singing and then disapearing never to be seen again and then have Amelia appearing out of nowhere half way through and replacing Frankie with a voice that isn't much better than his.

I don't think they should remove the eliminated contestants from the advert. Seems pointless to me.
And me.

Why make an advert using act who get eliminated one by one, if they're going to remove the eliminated ones!

Absolutely stupid.

They are removing all ex contestants from the ad as they are eliminated, except for the group shot which still shows everyone who got through to the live shows.

That is Frankie's voice.

edit - Frankie's voice is halfway through. I don't recognise the voice after Craig at the beginning.

Idts they are totally different voices for me. Especially the "no regret" part, Kitty's voice is way softer.

I see what the ad. is about now as someone just pointed it out to me. Feeling very stupid, as I can see why it's being done, and it's a good idea to eliminate them until the only one left is the winner. Good gimmick.

Are you sure? Janet sounds like she's been computerised.

Maybe that is what they're trying to do, but surely if the acts leave the advert, shouldn't their voices go too? There is only so much computer technology can do.

Maybe they should just reshoot the song for the advert each week.

There is too much talk about Amelia coming back, here and on other posts. Even if she is the most talented of the four (which I'm not desputing), if she does come back it will look like a fix. Or should I say, even MORE of a fix?
