Gary and Christopher are doing Rule The World by Magic FM, as made famous by Magic FM on their comeback tour. Tragically, both microphones are in perfect working order.
Actually, this is a better version of Rule The World than I've ever heard. It's just like the regular version, but about a third of it is wailed atonally by a man apparently doing an impression of Cilla Black driving a nail through the sole of her foot. Brilliant.
We're into another ad break now. This is because Nicole Scherzinger is about to duet with James Arthur, and she needs a few minutes to scour the arena for working microphones, gather them up, drive out to the woods, bury them all in a shallow grave, drive back and perform their song dangling the one remaining working microphone just out of reach of James's face, while she laughs and rolls around on the floor and cackles "microphonemicrophonemicrophonemicrophone" to herself and imagines that she's the queen of the world, sitting on a thrown made of microphones, and then marrying a giant microphone and kissing it on the mouth.
I will admit that at this point I may have been liveblogging X Factor for slightly too long.
