[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[tate]

omfg treyc has to do alone by heart !!!!!!!!!!

Perfect song for her, cannot believe that Simon's puppet has picked Aerosmith for her instead, would love to hear her hit that high note

[Beastie]

kill me NOW

Just don't watch then mardy bum!

[Beastie]

omfg treyc has to do alone by heart !!!!!!!!!!

Yes! I am not a fan of Treyc due to the fact she is not too connecting with the audience.

BUT.. this song would be perfect for her! It is so emotional and I think this is the perfect song she would get the "emotional connection" with the audience!!

[tate]

mardy bum!

Would love to hear that song done one week!

[Beastie]

That's what I want someone to sing to thebeast! :D

And exactly liek you I looked on the American Anthem CD ;)

:D I know there is loads of other songs but I am guessing they will choose well known American songs so that is why I looked at the CD :D

Omg.. I love Power of love!!

Don't need money.. don't take fame.. don't need no credit card to ride this train!!! :hugesmile:

[Tom]

*waits for Patrick*

[red]

A lot of these songs from the "American Anthems" CD are brilliant!!



The Knack - My Sharona

[Beastie]

*waits for Patrick*

Omg yes!! I love that song!!

My MY MYYYYYYYYYY SHRONAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

"do do do do do do do do do do do do"

Myyyyyyyyyyyyy Sharona!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Callum]

There You'll Be - Faith Hill, American anthem? :rolleyes:

I like the song but it's hardly an "American anthem"

[nanaimo]

Billy Idol - White Wedding

Would love to hear this on Saturday night

last time i heard billy was british ;)

[Mystic Mock]

born in the usa should be sung,even though none of them are american pmsl.

[Tom4784]

Aiden's apparently doing something happier.

[Tom4784]

There You'll Be - Faith Hill, American anthem? :rolleyes:

I like the song but it's hardly an "American anthem"

She's quite huge in America, also that song was quite a big hit if I remember.

[Jevans]

Legend:

Wagner Viva Las Vegas by Elvis

[MTVN]

Love the song TreyC's doing

Wagner's is a bit predictable tbh.

[Smithy]

American Anthems, so In other words, a song by an American Artist :/

[Mystic Mock]

American Anthems, so In other words, a song by an American Artist :/

yeah paije,matt or aiden- i kissed a girl and i liked it.:joker:

[joeysteele]

Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is
Berlin - Take My Breath Away

I want someone to do these :)

2 of my favourites as well Vicky, I could see Aiden doing Foreigners but I don't think Dannii would give him it somehow.

[Mystic Mock]

2 of my favourites as well Vicky, I could see Aiden doing Foreigners but I don't think Dannii would give him it somehow.

yeah she seems like she wants to sabbotage him.

[Jevans]

Boy Group One Direction meanwhile hope to win votes with ‘No Boundaries’ by Kris Allen, a rather unknown here in the UK.

:/

[MTVN]

Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is


Yeah, that's a great song, Maria Carey's cover version was awful though.

[Kerry]

Yet another week where they can sing just about anything then......

[joeysteele]

yeah she seems like she wants to sabbotage him.

I think Dannii knows what she is doing, for 4 weeks she has seen the public sail him through to the next week.

Ms Cole is I think trying to force Danniis hand to remove the intensity because Ms Cole knows its a winner and the public like it, so she is putting him down now and trying to hit his confidence.

Dannii is an if its not broke don't try to fix it attitude mentor, she is aware the public like it. Were she to remove the intensity, it may be that the public would not see him in the same original light they do now.

Dannii will vary it,she has seen him through these last 4 weeks, to remove the intensity from him would be playing right into Ms Coles hands.

For me, I would buy his recordings now and also all the things he has done on X Factor so far.

[Patrick]

:rolleyes:

Why American? Does Simon really lick their ******ing arse that much?

Jesus Christ.

[Smithy]

:rolleyes:

Why American? Does Simon really lick their ******ing arse that much?

Jesus Christ.

Because 90% of artists in the charts are American? :conf2:

They had a best of British last year, Im sure they'll have one later in the series, dont worry

[fruit_cake]

I'd like to see Rebecca sing this... not gonna happen though!

HG3pXD90U94&feature=related

[Niamh.]

anyone got any more updates on the song choices? Can't wait to hear what Matt, Rebecca and Aiden are snging

[lime]

anyone got any more updates on the song choices? Can't wait to hear what Matt, Rebecca and Aiden are singing
Apparently
Cher-Jay Z version of New York
One Direction- No boundaries by Kris Allen(never heard of it)
Yeah really hope Danni gives Matt a good song choice this week,another bad choice might knock his confidence.

[LeatherTrumpet]

one direction and treyc have a major song choice fail

cher could be major epicness

[Yuna]

How about something a little more original for once? Those songs are so ****nig boring.

[Jevans]

# Katie Waissel – Don’t Speak by No Doubt
# Cher Lloyd – Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys

I hope Cher doesn't ruin the song :(

[robb]

Aiden's apparently doing something happier.

Bet he does a Radiohead song soon though lol!

[Niamh.]

# Katie Waissel – Don’t Speak by No Doubt
# Cher Lloyd – Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys

I hope Cher doesn't ruin the song :(

oh no I love that No Doubt song:bawling:

[Tom4784]

Katie could turn things around with that song.

[Novo]

Brilliant song choice for her and it's a hugely popular song as well

[Niamh.]

Katie could turn things around with that song.

she's going to murder it:bawling:

[Novo]

This seals it, she is going all the way

[Niamh.]

This seals it, she is going all the way

all the way home

[nanaimo]

subjected to Chers c-rapping again this week, good time to make the tea ;)

[Novo]

all the way home

After she wins

[Niamh.]

After she wins

the lowest vote competition........

[Novo]

the lowest vote competition........

In the week there is a twist and they do vote to evict....

[Twilight]

Katie will be amazing.

[Tom4784]

she's going to murder it:bawling:

Probably not, it's suits her vocal range and she's got the ability to pull it off. She's been in the bottom 2 twice when she wore silly outfits, It's more the outfit's fault then hers I think.

[Niamh.]

In the week there is a twist and they do vote to evict....

then she will be top of the voting...........

[Novo]

then she will be top of the voting...........

In the final...

[Niamh.]

Probably not, it's suits her vocal range and she's got the ability to pull it off. She's been in the bottom 2 twice when she wore silly outfits, It's more the outfit's fault then hers I think.

it doesn't help but she has a mediocre voice and is unlikable, that also doesn't help her

[Niamh.]

In the final...

show that she sings in tomorrow............

[nanaimo]

In the final...

I'll give you 10/10 for persistance Novo :cheer:

[Novo]

show that she sings in tomorrow............

we are talking about Katie here not mary :nono:

[Niamh.]

we are talking about Katie here not mary :nono:

:joker: Mary will be there a whole lot longer than Katie, she gets the biggest cheers every week

[nanaimo]

Novo if katie doesn't go tomorrow night, i will type i love Novo X100

[Novo]

Novo if katie doesn't go tomorrow night, i will type i love Novo X100


Going in my Sig as a reminder

[Tom4784]

it doesn't help but she has a mediocre voice and is unlikable, that also doesn't help her

I disagree, I think she's got a good voice. Just because she ain't Leona Lewis doesn't mean she's a bad singer, she's got a more intimate voice, very retro in a way. She's only considered unlikable because the press has made her the pariah of the series.

[Niamh.]

Novo if katie doesn't go tomorrow night, i will type i love Novo X100

Going in my Sig as a reminder

:laugh: I nearly want her to stay now just to see that!

[nanaimo]

lol....and sunday night not tomorrow

[Tom4784]

I don't think she'll go, It'll be Treyc or Wagner or both.

[Niamh.]

her not being leona Lewis is absolutely not the reason I dislike her or think she isn't a good singer I can assure you. I'm not a fan of that type voice at all (Leona style) . Aiden has an unusual voice which I like as does Rebecca and Matt (ish)

[Novo]

Difference is with those 3 you have mentioned is that they have Zero personality

[Niamh.]

Difference is with those 3 you have mentioned is that they have Zero personality

how can you tell that from just hearing them sing?

[Novo]

how can you tell that from just hearing them sing?

Xtra factor, video dairies, Interviews. Can remember one interview with Rebecca Katie and Cher, and Katie was doing all of the talking and Rebecca was just sitting there nodding her head at basically everything Katie was saying

[AJ.]

Good songs for Katie & Cher. Does that mean Cher's going back to rapping&singing then? Can't see Katie leaving this week with that song.

[Niamh.]

Xtra factor, video dairies, Interviews. Can remember one interview with Rebecca Katie and Cher, and Katie was doing all of the talking and Rebecca was just sitting there nodding her head at basically everything Katie was saying

yeah cos Katie is such an attention seeking camera ***** probably.

All three are among my favourites but I wouldn't say any of them have unique voices. Matt's not got a unique voice, you'd find thousands of him in America, Rebecca's got that retro voice and Aiden's voice can be found in a lot of music outside the top 40.

What makes Aiden & Rebecca stand out though is their niches, which Matt needs to find ASAP.

[Novo]

yeah cos Katie is such an attention seeking camera ***** probably.

Probably more to do with the fact Rebecca has nothing interesting to say

[joeysteele]

Love the all the way home comment for Katie, naiamhxo.


Aiden, Rebecca and Matt are the ones I like best, I think Dannii will do good for Matt this week too.

[Niamh.]

I think Rebecca and Aidens voices are far more unique than Katies. And Matt well, yeah, I do really blame that on Dannii though!

[nanaimo]

Rebecca is talent, doesn't need to be a drama queen or be a self obssessed wannabe like katie and lily is still better ;)

[Niamh.]

Probably more to do with the fact Rebecca has nothing interesting to say

I'm sure she has plenty to say, she comes across as a whole lot deeper than the fake mess that is Katie

[Yuna]

I'd like to see Rebecca sing this... not gonna happen though!

Deeper?? She is one of the most boring contestants to ever grace the show.. All she does is nod her head everytime the judges say a word... Meanwhile Katie comes out with some great Qoutes most recently when Danni said her make up was a bit to scary and she just came out with " Well happy Halloween " Brilliant :worship: :worship: :worship:

[nanaimo]

well maybe she should be a comedian then

[Tom4784]

I think Rebecca and Aidens voices are far more unique than Katies. And Matt well, yeah, I do really blame that on Dannii though!

I'd disagree, Katie hasn't got a unique voice either but I'd say you don't hear her voice as often as the other two. It's difficult to explain but with Rebecca she's very comparable to Amy Winehouse and Aiden could be compared with David Gray and other Singer Songwriters. Katie's in a similar retro vein as Rebecca but her's is more different.....I'm probably not making much sense as I can't really explain it well. I don't think Katie's got many modern comparisions really.

With Matt I think it's more his fault then Dannii's really. He's still one of my favourites but there's nothing unique about him. He's the male Treyc, good voice and a jack of all trades but a master of none. It's gonna cost him in the end, unless he can find that star quality and that niche which he lacks he won't make it to the final.

[Novo]

She is a Singer/Comedian/Superstar all mixed into one

[nanaimo]

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one Dezzy, I do see what you're saying yes there is a unique tone to her voice but it's just not very good imo but that is just my opinion.

Still disagree with you about matt and do think it's Danniis fault as she has been picking his songs and you can tell by him that he's not happy about it all

[bbfan1991]

I like Cher, Wagner and Katie and don't give a **** what anyone says, thats all:D.

[Niamh.]

It was amazing, only something a very clever person would think of doing

yes, in fact I bet she purposely wore sh1t make-up on the off chance that they would comment and she could deliver the killer line and wow her fans:joker:

[Novo]

Not Cher so much but she is better then most of them

:laugh2:

of course it will:pat:

Love the all the way home comment for Katie, naiamhxo.


Aiden, Rebecca and Matt are the ones I like best, I think Dannii will do good for Matt this week too.

:wink:

of course it will:pat:

She isn't going anywhere

[Beastie]

For me, I would buy his recordings now and also all the things he has done on X Factor so far.

I love Aiden the way he is. However he could do a similar song to what he sang in his audition? He is amazing anyway. He would be a deserving winner :)

[Niamh.]

How many times do i have to tell you Sheamus

She isn't going anywhere

we'll see about that Fredrick

[Jevans]

Katie is favourite to go :laugh: unless she pulls her finger out this week

[joeysteele]

I love Aiden the way he is. However he could do a similar song to what he sang in his audition? He is amazing anyway. He would be a deserving winner :)

I agree with you 100%,I too really love the way he is now, and its also clearly working, he hasn't been in the bottom 2 and I doubt he has even been near to being so either.
I am with you that he could do a song like his audition one, however he does stand out this year,it could be a risk to remove the individuality he has had on X Factor so far.

He would be a deserving winner indeed, no matter what though I will buy his recordings whether he wins or not.

[MB.]

Gaawwwd, are Ondirekshun doing the same old type of song again? Getting sick of those boys to be honest.
Katie's choice is interesting.

[Beastie]

Yeah he should keep the "intenstity". Stuff Mz Cole's "too intense" opinions!

Aiden is the most unique out of the lot!!

Aiden, Cher and Katie are all great!

So is Matt and Rebecca.

Rebecca would be a predictable winner though. Leona x2.

[Ninastar]

omfg. it katie is singing that I will actually have an orgasm.
