Rock Week? [More Song Choices Added]

[Jordan.]

Dont know if its already posted but Mary has apparently comfirmed one of the the two songs they are performing will be rock songs.

Rumoured songlist (so far):

* Katie Waissel – Sex On Fire by the Kings of Leon
* Mary Byrne – All I Want Is You by U2 and Brass in Pocket by The Pretenders
* Wagner – Creep by Radiohead and Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer
* Cher Lloyd – Walk This Way by Aerosmith
* Matt Cardle – Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N’Roses

Rock week, with these acts, really only Matt can possibly shine this week,One Direction doing a Rock song, Mary and Katie too, what a stupid theme with the acts that are remaining.

[Niamh.]

I love rock week! rofl @Wagners song choice, how fitting

[Benjamin]

I think katie will do well for Rock week, as will (as much as it pains me to say) Matt, possibly Wagner too.

Normally I do,I love Rock week usually,it can be one of the stronger tests for the acts, I just don't see any real capable Rock voices,except for Matt who is very versatile in his range.

I agree Wagner will likely be a hoot, but really the others,still maybe I will be proved wrong, I was surprised at Joe Mcelderry last year on Rock week.

mary has a very powerful voice which will be great for rock, I think Matt and Cher will do great too. Not too sure about rebecca and One direction and Katie and wagner will be brutal as always

[Legend killer]

Someone has to do a red hot chilli song

[Niamh.]

Someone has to do a red hot chilli song

oh I would love that! They never do though :(

[Dr.Gonzo]

Cher could do Walk This Way. Rap already included :)

Maybe Matt could remind Bon Jovi how to sing one of their songs.

Oh good choices Gonzo! I'd like matt to do Always if he did a Bon Jovi song

[Dr.Gonzo]

Yeh, Always is good, but I think Bed of Roses would blow everyone away.

[joeysteele]

Well from reading above the suggestions of songs for the acts, maybe it could be a really good week, it certainly would be if Dr Gonzo, legend killer and Niamhxo were picking their songs.

[Legend killer]

oh I would love that! They never do though :(

Yep sadly they dont appreciate good music , like we do

[Iceman]

Hmm not sure that Rock week will be good, any suggestion on the second song yet?

[Dr.Gonzo]

Also, finally, this will be a great chance for Rebecca to break some new ground. Please, for the love of fictional Jesus, give her something ballsy she can rock that effortless voice to. I'm thinking... Crying by Aerosmith.

[Smithy]

OMG YES!! that would be epic!! :worship:

[Jevans]

I think Rebecca sould sing this.

Its perfect

Edit: so video will work.

[Dr.Gonzo]

I can't view Youtube at work. What is it?

[MissKittyFantastico]

How dare you :nono:

One of my favourite songs that though, this will be interesting :joker:

[Niamh.]

well lets see if you still love Wagner after he murderers one of your favourite songs!!

[Z]

I think One Direction and Katie will be good, for some reason I can't picture Matt or Mary pulling off rock songs, I'm the complete opposite to everyone else in this thread haha. Interested to see how Rebecca fares... Cher doing Walk This Way seems like a likely bet to me: there's scope for rapping and Girls Aloud covered it.

[Tom4784]

I wonder what the other theme will be? I'm looking forward to Wagner, he'll be magnificent.

I can't see Mary pulling it off but Matt defo, he's got that husky voice (apart from when he goes into falsetto obviously lol) that should work, and decent power in his voice too.

I'd actually love to hear him sing this, might be a bit before a lot of people's time on here though *suddenly feels like a granny*

[Niamh.]

Is Tina Turner rock? I think What's love got to do with it would be good for rebecca

[Jevans]

I'll Take It All - Joss Stone. It also happens to be a Bond Theme for a one of the games.

[Mystic Mock]

wagners song man.:joker:

[Patrick]

I'd love to see a theme where they go 'Back in time' and sing one song they sang in their XF time.

From Auditions, Bootcamp, Judges Houses and The Live Shows.

That way we'd get Cher singing a new and improved version of Turn My Swag On, and Wagner could sing LURV SHACK! LA LA LURV SHACK!

:love:

Yep i hope so, i think Cher singing Turn My Swag on will do great for her. :love::

[Jordan.]

Mary's second song added. Wtf both choices have to be rock? :S

[Mystic Mock]

my mom says brass in pocket is not a rock song.

[Jack_]

Terrible theme - infact most of them have been terrible this year. If we're having themes like Rock and The Beatles, why can't we have Big Band Week?

big band week wouldnt suit most of the acts like it didnt last year.

Ive never heard it but i looked on wikipedia and apparently it is. :/

[Stacey.]

Rock week is horrible, hopefully they'll make Wagner's music real loud so we can't hear him.

[Mystic Mock]

ok thanks.:)

What a excellent choice, love this song, & i think it would suit Matt down to a tea.

[Shaun]

Mary doing Brass in Pocket :love: I love that song, and her voice is well-suited to it.

There is a massive loophole here and Mary could do Mariah Carey-Without You (originally a rock song). But that songs an omen on this show, if you perform it you're either eliminated that night or you win the whole thing

[Niamh.]

Cher is rumoured to be singing walk this way - Aerosmith

and the second song doesn't have to be rock and U2 are rock

[Dr.Gonzo]

Is it a rumour or is it just my awesome suggestion being so awesome it must be true?!

[Niamh.]

well, I think they must have seen your suggestion and thought God this guy is awesome lets do it!!!

I read in this article I was looking at about matt though:joker:

Yeh. They've no contacted me yet to discuss payment for being awesome, but I'll split it with you when they do. Also, I'll use my popularity to get that Xtra Factor nob-jockey sacked so she'll be wagging her eyebrows on the tills at tesco.

O, and I'll tell Cheryl to cheer the ******* up or she's sacked.

But I won't let it go to my head.

YAY!!! Cheryl is a snappy cow this year isn't she?

I think many people think of ROCK and picture Heavy Metal and blokes with long hair, but Rock covers many artists with varying styles.
The main thing to distinguish Rock is that it is usually associated with Electric & Bass Guitars, Drums and possibly Keyboards.

Journey fall into that catagory and is why McEldery did ok with Dont Stop Believing. Its not so much the vocal..its the music behind it. Heart were a group with a female vocal that could sing very soft songs, but were very much a Rock Band.
I think Tina Turner could be described as Rock for certain songs.
The Pretenders (Brass in Pocket) originated from Punk i believe.

Wiki describes sub-genres of Rock as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock, which just about covers most of what the current XF acts can do.

[Tom]

I would've liked to see Rebecca or Matt do Athlete-Wires and Cher do Coldplay- Yellow. Its a shame Treyc still isn't in to do Creep again. And although I hated them and they were crap, would've liked to see that girlband do A Punk by Vampire Weekend.

[Dr.Gonzo]

YAY!!! Cheryl is a snappy cow this year isn't she?

Verily. I used to really like her but I've gone right off her this year. I think she's starting to believe her own hype. I'm not a hater, but it's just how it strikes me.

[robb]

Elton John, The Beatles, rock week........no disrespect (I like rock) but these themes are hardly relevant are they.....

[bbfan1991]

The 2 rumours i've seen suggested what Cher might be singing on some websites are:

Numb and My Generation or Walk This Way and Just Like A Pill:).

[Tom4784]

Elton John, The Beatles, rock week........no disrespect (I like rock) but these themes are hardly relevant are they.....

The Beatles & Elton John are pretty relevant through their achievements in music and their influence in new artists and I'd say Rock is too wide a genre to ever be considered irrelevant.

[bbfan1991]

I'm liking these themes, tis nice to see X-Factor covering different music than the usual cheesy pop which there has been enough every year and in the charts too:p.

[Jevans]

* Katie Waissel – Sex On Fire by the Kings of Leon
* Mary Byrne – All I Want Is You by U2 and Brass in Pocket by The Pretenders
* Wagner – Creep by Radiohead and Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer
* Cher Lloyd – Walk This Way by Aerosmith
* Matt Cardle – Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N’Roses


New songs added

disaster waiting to happen

[Mystic Mock]

bloody hell if katie is doing one of my favourite songs of all time then she better do it justice.

[Ninastar]

Oh no.

[Niamh.]

Katie will murder that song, Matt hhhhmmmm they could have picked a better G'N'Rs song though

[Smithy]

I'd like to see Rebecca do Use Somebody - KOL

[Mystic Mock]

Katie will murder that song, Matt hhhhmmmm they could have picked a better G'N'Rs song though

i think matt will do fine but katie.:mad:

[Tom4784]

I think Katie would do well if they did the Alesha Dixon live lounge version but I can't imagine her being successful with the original one.

[Jordan.]

New songs added

Thanks, I'll add them to the OP. :)

[joeysteele]

This on paper is starting to look a hard week to predict, I think Louis has done a great job for Mary.
Matt should really excel as well. Should be very interesting, I also agree with Dezzy, it depends which way Katie does her song whether it will work at al for her or not.

[Legend killer]

I cant believe no one is doing Foo Fighters - Pretender , classic song

[Tom4784]

Cher's second song is apparently 'just like a Pill' and 'Rebecca's doing You are so beautiful' and 'Thank U'. Matt's also doing 'With or without You' and Wagner is doing 'Achy Breaky Heart'. There's a list of them on the MSN website.

How the hell do you do spoiler tags?!

Never mind, Locke posted a thread with the spoilers I was going to post :tongue:.
