Next week is 'Queen' week (some song choices revealed)

[King Gizzard]

QUEEN legends Brian May and Roger Taylor are to play on X Factor - as the dwindling band of contestants belt out Bohemian Rhapsody together.

The extravaganza will see oddballs Jedward - John and Edward Grimes - attempt the opera-style vocal acrobatics made famous by the late Freddie Mercury.

Last night the tuneless twins' starring role - which will take place on Sunday's results programme - was tipped to leave telly's talent show judges Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole covering their ears.

Insiders fear even the 18-year-olds' mentor Louis Walsh could be left squirming.

The Sun can reveal that guitarist May, 62, and drummer Taylor, 60, have been secretly coaching the remaining acts ahead of tomorrow's show - which will see them individually perform Queen hits.

Aparently anyway according to someone on Twitter..

And Jedward are apparently doing Radio Gaga

What songs do you think would suit the contestants?

Already rumoured song choices:

Radio Gaga - Jedward
We Are The Champions - Danyl

[Shaun]

*enters thread excitedly screaming "MAKE WAY SISTAS" and realises he's made a mistake*

:laugh2:

Danyl will probably sing Bohemian Rhapsody. :sleep:

[\PJ/]

Don't stop me now-Olly.

[King Gizzard]

That is a huge shout PJ

[CaraRawr]

Yay.

[Patrick]

Oh FFS
Why cant they do Michael Jackson?
Instead of ****ing queen

[\PJ/]

That is a huge shout PJ
HMMM your right,but it think he can pull it of.

[Tom]

Oh what a coincidence that the year Simon gets a rock singer in his category is the year we get 2 rock weeks

[alc09]

There's got to be a Jackson week. Got to be.

[Tom4784]

Oh FFS
Why cant they do Michael Jackson?
Instead of ****ing queen

Because people have *****d him out so much I'm actually sick of the sight of him? Everyone's over him now and they did an MJ week last year so they're probably mixing it up. Plus Queen > MJ.

[Christina]

Hmm should be good then :)

[Fom]

Queen week?! YES PLEASE!

[Jack_]

This could be brilliant.

[Tom]

Oh FFS
Why cant they do Michael Jackson?
Instead of ****ing queen

Maybe N Dubz week would be more to your taste.

[Maia]

Maybe N Dubz week would be more to your taste.

Bring on N-Dubz week! :joker:

[Alf]

olly - crazy little thing called love
joe - good old fashioned lover boy
stacey - we are the champions
danyl - somebody to love
jamie - radio ga ga
lloyd - dont stop me now
j + e - we will rock you

[MarkWaldorf]

I think some big acts could suffer like Lucie if they get lesser known songs.

[Patrick]

Maybe N Dubz week would be more to your taste.

:sleep:

[Tracyjay]

I hope someone sings "Fat Bottomed Girls" !! Maybe Olly

[Jordan.]

Bring on N-Dubz week! :joker:

I agree!!!

[BigSister]

I think dont stop me now could be better for the group song posssibly

[Stacey.]

jedward will piss over everyone! :D

[Harry!]

Ok not my fave band in the world but they have some iconic tracks. I still hope for one theme though this year to happern.

[Arneldo]

When I first read this I was very excited - but then I remembered that Jamie is still in and he is going to butcher one of Queen's song, just like he's doenw ithe very song he's been given so far.

[Tom]

Its a shame Kandy Rain aren't still in, they could've done Bicycle Race

[podge2007]

Bit of a disappointing theme considering we had Rock Week so recently. It would have liked a more relevant theme like 21st Century Hits, Number 1s etc.

Song Choice predictions:
John and Edward = Radio GaGa
Olly = Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Danyl= Somebody to Love
Jamie = Killer Queen
Stacey = Bohemian Rhapsody
Lloyd = You're My best friend
Joe = I want to break free

This, I think, is most likely :] though Danyl might do Bohemian Rhapsody.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I can just see Danill doing the national anthem with a rock twist

[xDramatick]

Lloyd's screwed :(
I'm actually concerned.
The only song I could see him pulling off is 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' but knowing Cheryl this year, she'll give him 'Don't Stop Me Now' or 'Fat Bottomed Girls' ¬__¬

[Fom]

I would like to see Joe do 'Somebody to love'

[setanta]

It's going to be a total disaster. You're playing with fire when you decide to cover Queen, and that's when you're actually good! They're going to butcher them.

[Niamh.]

I know!! I love Queen. Stacey is going to ruin that song and Lloyd........Oh noooooooo:bawling:

[setanta]

I know!! I love Queen. Stacey is going to ruin that song and Lloyd........Oh noooooooo:bawling:

They're all going to be absolutely tragic. Shouldn't be allowed to go near a Freddie Mercury vocal.... the only person who pulled it off was Rhydian.

[Niamh.]

Olly, Joe & Danyl will probably be ok

[setanta]

Possibly. I just don't think Queen should be touched really. Strange decision to have it this week.

[Niamh.]

yeah, atleast it'll show up the really bad ones properly I suppose though being bad counts for nothing anymore apparently!

god this should be a great horror show:joker:

[Marc]

Huge Bias.

I hope Olly does Don't Stop Me Now

[pinkmichk]

i love queen think the only person who wont struggle with a queen song would be olly love him to sing somebody to love

[Marc]

Hopefully Lloyd messes up

[Niamh.]

god this should be a great horror show:joker:

Maybe that's why they choose to do a Queen week because it seems to be "horror shows" are what people want! Jedward for example:joker:

i always seen x factor as a joke
you get one bright star every three years, although they are i wouldn't call Leona or alexandra very charamatic singers:joker:

[Niamh.]

Yeah, Leona has an outstanding voice but the personnality of a brick. Alexandra just irritated me beyond belief, especially after the beyonce "scene" cringe!

but simon has used them well cause they be gone soon enough
i can't see Olly lasting long or even Stacey

[Niamh.]

I can see Olly lasting, he reminds me of Will Young and he's still going strong! I think Leona will last cos she has got a superb voice, I don't think Alexandra will, JLS are already passing her out

[Beastie]

I can see Olly lasting, he reminds me of Will Young and he's still going strong! I think Leona will last cos she has got a superb voice, I don't think Alexandra will, JLS are already passing her out

I think Will Young is better than Olly but I do like Olly's penguin dancing!

[Beastie]

I can't wait for this anyway!! QUEEEEEN :D

[Stu]

Freddie Mercury dies of AIDS, John & Edward still roam the planet. Life's not fair.

Nah-Nah-Nahiii.

[arsenalforever]

Yeah, I love Will Young. Olly will depend on what songs he has after and what road he goes down

[arsenalforever]

Depends how he's first single does I suppose

[Niamh.]

Depends how he's first single does I suppose

Yeah, you can never really tell what people are going to be like till after X-Factor I think.

I loved Will Young when he was in Pop Idol but he was so much better when he did his own stuff (not counting Evergreen or whatever it was called)

[Mrluvaluva]

They have to rely on props/acrobatics blah every week. If they had to just stand there and sing one week..well......

[King Gizzard]

baz they are going to, yvie and brian said that theyre working on it for one week, just singing

yvie seems to think they would be good, she must be high.

[Mrluvaluva]
