M&S advert

[mrsweasley]

Who are singing 'when you wish upon a star' in the christmas advert? sorry if already been asked. thanks

[bobthefisherman]

it's all the contestants from the X factor.....

[mrsweasley]

Oh, thanks-never watch it,like the fat bloke and the last girl-they still in in?

[bobthefisherman]

I don't know to be honest, I don't watch it either - the missus told me who it was....

[Anngel123]

The fat bloke...I assume you mean Craig, is still in...and a shadow of his former self. Still, it slightly unnecessary to label him in this way. Misha B, who I think is the last singer (the black girl) is also still in.

[bednobs]

i don't watch x factor either, but imho, they all look and sound really strange. That chubby guy sings oddly and looks a bit sideways, the ginger girl also sings and stands really strange. the blonde woman uses far too much eyeliner, the girl group have the most peculiar eye shadow!

[factor-fiction]

The fact that Misha B sings the last words of the song suggests to me that those involved believe she'll win the series since they eliminate singers from teh ad a sthey get eliminated from the show

[bednobs]

she's odd looking too!

<<suggests to me that those involved believe she'll win the series since they eliminate singers from teh ad>>

they have filmed all of them performing the whole song so can edit it to any configuration.

If anything, the 'pattern interrupt' of suddenly having parts (especially the end) sung by a different person would be worth having as the weeks drag by.

[factor-fiction]

We'll see, Zeuhl. I realise they have covered all parts of the song- I just think they will prefer to avoid having to change vocalist for the 'climax' and will have thought carefully about who should sing it.

[Zeuhl]

Indded Factor.

We'll see which one of these warblers the Great British Public (well XF fans anyway) leave M&S's agency's production house to struggle with.

I think John Lewis have (again) trumped M&S in the Best Xmas Ad competition.

that blonde bird is out but is still in the ad
