I have had to look again.
It was "Fighter".
I looked it up on youtube and I have now had to relive one of the most wtf moments of the series!!! Pain.

She sort-of shimmies down at the top of the stairs, stamps down the stairs, stamps around the stage. I turned it off at the time.

So it's the shimmy-thing at the top of the stairs where she lowers herself and does a wiggle. But that was a whole wtf performance!

Sorry, Jessie-fans.

Haha I'm a Jessie fan but I have to agree with you there!
It was full of wtf, oh dear, oh god, *cringe*.

Barry Humphries' lusting over Sam- he's old enough to be her grandfather
ALW saving Ashley over Fran
Ashley's Hey Big Spender
Niamh's vallerrayyyyyy
Tara's Suddenly I see-ah
Jessie's dancing- especially the crotch thing in Fighter
Denise saying Jessie was the best Nancy after the 'Things Ain't what they used to be' performance where Jessie was mostly shoved in the back!
Sam's manic head movements in Survivor at the top of the stairs, and her dancing coming down the stairs
JB- "You didn't move me, but I don't care!"

Sam reminded me of a spider when navigating those stairs during Survivor.
*ahem*

I'm watching back Fighter now and my god it's painful
In a few years time she'll probably look back on that and think 'wtf' herself.

lol i recokon she would like to pretend that week never happened

It sure was bad. But actualy some people have posted comments saying that they liked it.
I'm not sure what they were thinking giving her this song.
And unless she made up the dance routine herself then it wasn't her fault. I'm thinking someone else did.
All that said, she could have tried not to shout.

it was definitely a poor song, i don't think any of the contestants could have done anything with it. I've never understood what christina says and thats when she has been in the studio, she can't sing it live herself lol

Remember when Lewis was called a praying mantis?

Or have I made that up???????????

^ What's a praying mantis?

I think it was Zoe that referred to him looking like a tarantular after his Week 1 Live show performance of Faith. I remember this saddened me deeply. I was, and still am, a huge supporter of Lewis!


There's many WTF moments in this show:

ALW saving Ashley over Fran.
ALW saving Samantha over Rachel. Like seriously, WHY!?
Barry Humphries leering over Samantha. It's sick.
Some of the Arthur's outfits! Bless him.

You're right. Tarantula. A praying mantis is an insect. I won't go further because I don't want to offend Lewis-lovers. (I wasn't one).

The Madonna photo-shoot. Why exactly? We've got free publicity for Cam Mack and ALW. Does Madge really need it?????

I agree with this - those red tights were criminal! and the trouser moment was sick! and soooooo worrying! wasn't it niamh in the pink tutu dress over leggings? ot did sam wear an outfit like that too?

Sam wore a silly looking blue tutu dress for her performance of Survivor.

I only remember the Sam one but Niamh may have had one too. Hey, when you've got a winning formula!

I do think the costume department should have a special fashion award.

The "Bet Lynch Award"?

For creative use of nylon-satin and nylon-lace and nylon-nylon?

Yeh she did, a mad sort of blue tutu and black leggings. I was wondering why since the outfit made her look like one of those twirling ballorinas that you get on music boxes.

thank you - it is indeed horrid

Great thread!

Contenders for the IDA WTF Award are (in no particular order)...

The costume department for loads of the costumes with those red tights in 'Hard Day's Night' almost, but not quite pushing them over the finish line!

Samantha going on her knees in front of BH on the acting task!

BH's lascivious comments (and a lot of his non-lascivious comments)!

Niamh's Valerie

Rachel being saved instead of Sarah

but the IDA WTF Award goes to...

ALW's Meatloaf Moment

seriously - what is with the tutu theme? sam and niamh, really! NO NEED! what is wrong with the costume dept!

yep - all def WTF moments - also, saving sam over rachel

Why do they always scrape Sam's hair off her face - often in that high ponytail?

AND - cover Jodie in lip-gloss so that EVERY SONG she ever does she ends up with her hair stuck in her lipstick? Drives me bananas. They never give good hair to Jodie.

Niamh's was more of a tunic than a tutu. It didn't stick out at the bottom like a tutu does anyway.

I had to look away during Hard Day's Night. I was so scared I was going to see up their dresses. They'd plonk themselves down on those chairs and it was all very inelegant.

this is true - i have no idea what they are thiking! i also cannot understand how anyone could think putting a young girl like sam in hooker boots would look good! and rachels bumblebee dress was shocking!

I nearly included that and then I thought we all knew ALW would save Sam over who ever was in the sing off.

Rachel in the sing-off was totally wtf on Saturday.

ALW choosing sam over rachel last week

Sam singing hurt and the judges loving it. WTF?
^ It was nearly as bad as Jessie's fighter!
