Semi-Final Themes

[Arneldo]

#1 - Michael Jackson songs.
#2 - Contestants choice.

Expected MJ songs with Janet performing on Sunday.

[MarkWaldorf]

Yay this is what I wanted!

[CaraRawr]

omg, love it. hopefully joe will get man in the mirror. <333

[Niamh.]

Brilliant, best theme yet!

[Wildcat!]

That's really nice for them to do a MJ theme, so close to last year. Well done Xfactor!

How could they not though when MJ died this year, it would be a crime not to!! Great material there to work with too:dance:

[Arneldo]

I hope they do some up-tempo MJ songs. Last year it all all MJ ballads, except JLS.

[Princess]

Good themes,contestant's choice is always good.

[Niamh.]

Olly will do an up-tempo song I reckon, can't see anyone else doing one though

[Wildcat!]

Yeah, probably Olly. But its hard to do MJ up tempo songs, because they are all so unique with his ad libs. So, it makes sense they find it easier to do the ballads. Here's hoping though, maybe Danyl would do an uptempo number?

[Niamh.]

maybe, you'd never know with him really. And yeah, it'd be very hard to do an up-tempo MJ song alright, as much as I liked JLS last year I didn't think they did "The way you make me feel" justice last year, it's my favorite MJ song too so I was a bit disappointed with their version

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Stacey to do Thriller :)

[Niamh.]

Stacey to do Thriller :)

:joker:I'd love to see that:joker: It's times like this when I wish Jedward were still in!! Imagine them doing it!!

I rather put a screwdriver to my head them listen to them again :joker:

[Niamh.]

they were shockingly bad but they made me laugh, I got a warped enjoyment out of them:joker:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

They never made me laugh, well their bottom two performance was funny as it was incredible out of tune and **** you just had to laugh!

[Niamh.]

haha, they even laughed themselves when they were shown the playback on Xtra Factor!!

[Fom]

omg, love it. hopefully joe will get man in the mirror. <333


I want to see Joe do an upbeat song...

[Niamh.]

I want to see Joe do an upbeat song...

yes actually now that you mention it!! we all know he can do a good ballad, give us something different Joe!!

[Wildcat!]

Joe should do, I want you back, if theyre allowed jackson5 songs. Its upbeat, but he will get to show off his vocals.

[Niamh.]

[setanta]

[setanta]

That's ok cuz you'd probably give out to me over it. :tongue:

[Niamh.]

was it mean? you're very bold!!:nono:

[setanta]

was it mean? you're very bold!!:nono:

More a condemnation of the media and general public really over there total hypocrisy when it concerns Jackson. I thought it was quite funny to be honest with you.

I'll watch it later then, I liked his music. Nobody will ever know about all the other stuff

No we wont really but we'll remember what was said about him and how that was reflected in how society viewed him. Whatever happened it's still a very sad story but it wouldn't shock me if he did fiddle, you know... that's how pervasive the medias power is over us.

of course, If someone says it there will always be a doubt in peoples minds. I think he probably did but like I said we will never know

Thats really funny! :hugesmile:
Good parody. a lot of the words, ring true.

I honestly still can't make up my mind. Sometimes I think he was just an innocent vulnerable victim and at other moments I feel he was an insecure and troubled individual who's power and money heightened his disconnection from what was morally right : his reality was shaped entirely from what he had inside him.... and that could definitely have had a depraved element to it.

To be honest, on the whole Pedofilia thing, we will never know! But for me, seeing him how he lived his life, and how sheltered he was, I just cant see him ever doing something so evil. There is no way, that Michael wasn't a very caring sensitive human being. Just my opinion of course:blush:

true but maybe he didn't see it as being evil, alot of paedophiles don't. not saying he did do anything of course, that one we'll never know!

[MarkWaldorf]

I think Joe will have an upbeat MJ song and a ballad for personal choice. I'm personally hoping he picks his audition song - Dance With My Father.

[Stephanie]

i think they should all sing their audition song so they can show how much they have improved

[setanta]

Sad thing is if you were to put a gun to my head I'd probably say he did it, you know?

[Niamh.]

me too, I don't think living in "Neverland" and sharing a bed with kids is normal behaviour really

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its sad to watch that vid (great song and Joe would kill it) to think that behind the performance was an evil egotistical father ruining young lives for his own selfish profit.

yuk

[Jords]

Goood themes :D

[Patrick]

Joe should sing 'This is it'

This semi final is really going to make up for the pathetic themes lately

[Tom]

This is It is awful

[Harry!]

I am ok about these theme but it has been used before, Should be good though.

[robb]

Another male theme week. Not biased at all is it.
Right up Joe's street, this, I would have thought. No malice intended.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I hope Olly does The Way You Make Me Feel, he'd be great at that I reckon.

Part of me does wish Jedward were still in to see them do Thriller :joker:

[Z]

I find that statement (many others have made it though) ridiculous.

It would surely be more biased if they had a female themed week, as there is only ONE girl left in the competition, and this has been the case since Lucie went out in week five.
