How childish. If someone has to mime while standing still and badly at that, I think its OK to point that out :P

Ben Haenow sang live though, at least you are not denying it.

She wasn't singing though was she? Even when she was standing still.

Why did Leona and Ben have to sing live and Little Mix and Fleur are clearly miming Black Magic?

And I am tellllling you - please stop singing this song!! So bored of it!

That worked better than I thought! Good performance from Ben vocally and he looks very bangable Sammy01! :wub:

Louisa will win the 100% but she is just shouting.

3rd Whisky :cry:

What a mess

I'm gonna drink a whisky every time I hear Sax 2 and counting :lol:

This is so over the top.

Goodness what an appalling set of duets. I mean I quite liked Craig David back in the day but where did that come from!?

OK just heard that Ben told a fan today they are doing Slamming Doors/Run. Not confirmed but....

Thanks :) I hadn't seen that but I'm still not sure it means it will be twice as the surprise could be within the first performance. But hey I hope you're right :)

Reading some of the above people seem to think Ben is performing twice? Its been confirmed he's singing Slamming Doors and I just thought Leona would sing with him? So one performance for both? I'd love Ben to do two performances but not how I'm reading it anyway.

I'm not a massive Leona fan as some are around here (I did buy a couple of her albums however and think she has a great voice) but I think she deserves to come back if a) she wants to and b) the show are happy to have her. Pop stars careers fizzle out some sooner than others but that doesn't erase what they achieved. And she is along with 1D the biggest thing to have come out of the show. Would you begrudge them a return to the show in five years for a nostalgic performance? I certainly wouldn't. As for the duets (and especially Ben and Leona) I just think you might be over thinking it a little. They have obviously decided the show needs a boost and are pairing current winners/contestants (Ben/Fleur with previous winners (Little Mix/Leona) as a fun thing for the final and to show the "talent" (matter of opinion :)) that comes from it. And of course Ben and Fleur will get another chance to promote their albums along the way. Maybe he wants to give Ben a second shot at performing as they messed up his first single campaign.

What I meant was that the contestants aren't that exciting so I forgot there was actually a contest on the weekend as well :)

I've forgotten all about the contestants with all this going on :lol: Will make up for it being not a great year (for me anyway) Really hope Ben performs well and his album gets a boost. Could have done without Adele but at least it on the Sunday.

I also prefer a few other tracks to Slamming Doors as well but I think it could work quite well for him as a live performance. Just glad he's getting a slot! :cheer:

There are few more ballady/acoustic type songs, Make it Back to Me being one that could work. Not two people I would have put together initially but I'm interested to see what they do if true.

Well well well, could this be true? https://twitter.com/Garlicmorgan/status/674706625589084160

Yes 18130 (just checked the sales thread) I think Joseph said she is just under 18k that at the moment, so she will better that but not by much if it continues to fall. I understand fans want to make the best of this (I know as a Ben fan) but considering the hype and massive coverage she has had in comparison, I'm not sure how this can be seen as anything other than disappointing. The real test will be next week and how big the drop etc

I think the overkill might be Fleur's downfall in the end. Her album doesn't look like making the Top Ten and with the amount of backing she's received not sure that will go down to well at Syco. Sax has done well but its kind of a novelty/one off sort of tune and record companies make little money from singles I would guess.

So he is going to appeal (some are saying it will be on the basis of an "unfair trial") and has been allowed bail until next April. That's a convicted murderer out on bail. Yep you heard correctly. Unbelievable. This could drag for years. Just take the punishment for what you did for goodness sake.

Sorry for being naive (as I would never watch a show like Geordie Shore) but why is her image bad?
