The X Factor Semi Finals - The Round Up

Last night, the aromatic smell of victory was floating in the air as the final four took to the shimmering stage and sang their young hearts out for a place in next week's final ( I can't believe it has come so quick!!!). It feels like only yesterday that they were just fresh-faced auditionees wanting a shot at a music career and it is so impressive of how far they have come. Even if they don't win, it does not matter at all -  they are definitely guaranteed a career of some sort in music or any other sectors of the entertainment industry. Last night the pressure was on like Donkey Kong!!! The final four all sang two songs each - one Motown classic and one that they believe will get them into the final! It's crunch time!!!

Song of the Week

Lady Gaga - Marry the Night

My favourite track from Born This Way by a mile!!! Love this song and video (even though you don't hear the song until the end of the vid)! Such a relatable song and also a gem for the dancefloor! Time to wear out this song on my iPod!!! The song is about the recovery from a very dark period in her life where she got dropped for her record label - very raw and emotionally honest!

The X Factor Quarter Finals - The Round Up

And then there were 5! That coveted record deal is drawing nearer and nearer. As weeks have gone by I have noticed that these have gotten shorter and shorter by the week! Just goes to show how quickly time flies! This week  the theme was Heroes and Guilty Pleasures and each of the finalists had two songs each - one 'guilty pleasure' song and one by one of their musical heroes. So who was flying high in the sky and who got a taste of Kryptonite and fell flat?

Ultimate style inspiration - Brigitte Bardot

I can't speak French, so I let the sexy fashion do the talking yeah!

How They Wear: Leather Skirts

How They Wear: Leather Skirts

A bit of nostalgia!!

This song totally reminds me of uni!!!

Love it!! So catchy!

The X Factor Live Show Week 7 - The Round Up

And then there were six!! Movies week! Woo!! Last night, the X Factor took a trip to the movies and provide us with some interesting performances. Bring on the glamour, the gowns and the glitz (and yet another very bizarre dance number from Mr Dermot O'Leary and the women in gold catsuits) as the finalists performed some familiar tracks from iconic movies. But who was a huge box office smash and worthy of an Oscar and who was just a bargain basement, straight-to-DVD flop and was worthy of a Razzie?

I Want Your Wardrobe!!

Find out after the jump who is on my style radar and whose getting me green with wardrobe envy!!!

Song of the Week

The X Factor Live Show Week 6 - The Round Up

In the words of Alan Carr, what a week it's been! Frankie Cocozza exited The X Factor so it opened up a place for one of the previous contestants who never got to face a public vote - Amelia Lily, James Michael, Jonjo Kerr and 2 Shoes. The public made the right choice and voted Amelia Lily back in which was the best decision ever made!!! Not sure why they got rid of her in the first place, to be honest! Anyway, this week's X Factor paid tribute to the wonderful Lady Gaga and Queen, who both totally smashed it at the MTV EMA's last week with knockout performances. So it was time to find out, who was on the edge of glory, and who just needed to shut their Playboy mouth?

The News that made me a very happy woman!!!

Song of the Week

Completely off the Richter scale!!!!

Labrinth ft. Tinie Tempah - Earthquake

Happy Birthday Tinie Tempah!!!

Happy birthday Tinie Tempah!!!

A blast from the past!!! Remember the gig with with Mr Hudson at Loughborough Student's Union last year!!! Memories!!

The X Factor Live Show Week 5 - The Round Up

And then there were nine!!! Note to Dermot O'Leary: As much as I love you and think that you look very dapper in those suits every week, Halloween was last week and we therefore do not need your dancing every week. Sack the zombie choreographer!! Anyways, it was time to whip out those dancing shoes and get the mirrorballs out. It was Club Classics week, but who completely painted the town red and who was just murder on the dancefloor (not in a good way either)?

Beyond Genius!!! Jimmy Fallon - Justin Bieber Sings "(It's Not My) Baby" [HD & 3D Available]

Wondered how long it would take for someone to provide a bit of comic relief amidst the Justin Bieber paternity rumours! More to the point I wondered how long it would be before someone would parody Bieber's monster hit Baby. Probably the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time! Think I may have broken my funny bone after laughing so hard! This is absolutely genius!!! The fact that his singing voice is not-quite-spot-on is what makes it funny and the dance moves also look very convincing too! Very catchy indeed! I will never hear that Justin Bieber track in the same way ever again!! Jimmy Fallon, you are a ledge!!!
