Rihanna, Robbie, Will.I.Am & Christina Aguilera for the duets?

[Tom4784]

Rihanna, Robbie Williams, will.i.am and Christina Aguilera have all been lined up for duet performances on the X Factor final.

The four special guests will be partnered up with the finalists on the Saturday night showpiece. Yesterday it was reported that Matt Cardle would team up with Christina Aguilera, but that remains unconfirmed.

Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am is expected to team up with Cher Lloyd, who he helped mentor at the Boot Camp stage of the competition.

The X Factor final kicks off on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1

I think it's more likely that Rebecca wll sing with Christina rather then Matt. I'm thinking:

Matt & Robbie
Rebecca & Christina
One Direction & Rihanna (If this happens I'll be surprised if they don't win)
Cher & Will.I.Am

[Princess]

Hope the Robbie thing doesn't happen,especially since he's not exactly meant to be a solo artist anymore. I know the boys are on Strictly this weekend and they're in Ireland on Friday.
edit:And Royal Variety tomorrow,not really time for a XF performance

[Smithy]

I feel bad for whoever has to sing with Rihanna, she's shocking Live

[Niamh.]

Matt should sing with Christina and rebecca with Robbie, it makes more sense to do male/female combinations imo

[Jordan.]

I hope its:

Cher & Will.I.Am
One Direction & Rihanna
Matt & Christina
Rebecca & Robbie

[Locke.]

Cher and Rihanna should do Love the Way You Lie.

I don't care if shes already performed it.

[Stacey.]

Nope, it's Matt that's dueting with Christina..

And it'll be Cher with Will.I.Am, Rebecca with Robbie, and One Direction with Rihanna probably.

[Jamie.....]

Cher will most likely duet with Will.i.am
And wouldn't it make more sense for Robbie to duet with One Direction as he's in a boyband?
Then for Rihanna and Christina I'm not really sure

[Tom4784]

See the thing is I can't see them putting Matt with anyone that could improve his chances more. Since Robbie's doing Strictly apparently I'm guessing that part isn't true. I reckon Rebecca will definitely get Christina though. One Direction are gonna steal it from underneath Matt's nose if they get Rihanna though.

[Jack_]

Wouldn't Christina or Will.i.am benefit someone more than Rihanna?

[Beastie]

Robbie best not duet again. lol. He was sh!t last year when he sang with Olly.

Rhydian was right with his comments. He said something like "He was like a drunken singer at a wedding" << something like that anyway! :hugesmile:

[Beastie]

Matt and Chris Martin would be good. Doubt Chris would want to appear on the X Factor though. Shame.

[Niamh.]

Wouldn't Christina or Will.i.am benefit someone more than Rihanna?

Yeah I would have thought this too, As someone else pointed out Rhianna isn't great live either, I reckon Christina will steal the show

[Tom4784]

Wouldn't Christina or Will.i.am benefit someone more than Rihanna?

Will.I.Am wouldn't affect things either way, Christina & Rihanna would both benefit the contestants. Both have loyal fanbases and Christina can pretty much always give a decent performance. Rihanna would be good at getting the floating votes though given her popularity.

[robb]

Somehow I can't see Christina singing with Rebecca. That would leave Rhianna or Robbie.

[Smithy]

One Direction have said they're with Robbie and are doing "She's the One".

[Tom4784]

Somehow I can't see Christina singing with Rebecca. That would leave Rhianna or Robbie.

I don't know, Duets work best when there's contrast rather then similarity. I think Rebecca would be pretty fantastic with her, they could compliment each other fantastically.

[Tom4784]

One Direction have said they're with Robbie and are doing "She's the One".

Maybe your thread is correct on the Matt & Rebecca front then. Matt & Rihanna, Christina & Rebecca.

[Legend killer]

Oh gosh Cher and Will is gonna be a massive fail

[Smithy]

Maybe your thread is correct on the Matt & Rebecca front then. Matt & Rihanna, Christina & Rebecca.

I hope so

[Tom4784]

I hope so

Matt & Rihanna would be interesting, I don't think they'd compliment each other well but her fanbase could work well for him.

[Smithy]

I could imagine them doing Russian Roulette, I'm not too fussed as long as Rebecca and Xtina do a duet, seeing as Rihanna is shocking live :joker:

[DoubleDig]

Im happy with Matt and Rhianna. 2nd choice Christina

[Vicky.]

:love:

[Smithy]

:love:

ikr Russian Roulette >>>>>>> Everything else she's done

[Vicky.]

ikr Russian Roulette >>>>>>> Everything else she's done

Russian roulette, LTWYL and Unfaithful are the only songs of hers that I like.

[Smithy]

Russian roulette, LTWYL and Unfaithful are the only songs of hers that I like.

LTWYL Pt II or her on Eminems?

[Vicky.]

LTWYL Pt II or her on Eminems?

Her on eminems. Part two is brutal D:

[Braden]

OMG. Christina and Rebecca would be a dream for me. :love:

[Spik3]

I heard that Avril Lavigne will be one of the duets.

[Mr XcX]

TBH (You can tell they want Matt / Bex to win from guest stars)

Christina and Rihanna.

[cub]

Robbie?? Two years running? Not very special is it?

[Marc]

Robbie just ******* off and die!! Seriously.

Aguilera is undoubtedly going to do a good song no matter what!

[Marc]

Hopefully Rihanna will play Russian Roulette with the boys..


...and Harry loses.

[Pato]

Cher and Will I Am - probably sing check it out ? If Robbie sings with One Direction could actually make them worse I remember last year with Olly he ****ed up, I honestly thing Christina Aguilera's too good a singer to duet with some-one she'll just sing them off the stage

[Z]

Christina would overshadow Cher and One Direction, so she's surely with Matt or Rebecca. I really hope Robbie isn't duetting on the final, he was a wreck when Take That performed on the results show earlier in the series, looked like he was on drugs to me, that aside he was pretty shocking and I think he would ruin One Direction's chances of winning (which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing IMO, but it's unfair on them) and would leave it up to Matt or Rebecca to win. I can't picture Rihanna/Rebecca at all, so she's surely with Matt, will.i.am is obviously going to duet with Cher if he's on... so I think Christina/Rebecca singing something like Hurt, Rihanna/Matt singing something like Russian Roulette, will.i.am/Cher singing whatever abomination he's done recently and Robbie/One Direction doing She's The One as somebody else already mentioned. Interesting... It's hard to gauge if Rihanna's current popularity would steal the win for Matt or if Christina's superior vocals would win it for Rebecca.

[Saph]

will.i.am should just **** off!

Wooo christina! has she ever been on x factor before? ;o

lol Robbie, yippie.... ;/ Rihanna's a slut so she can piss off to :)

I think they should make Cher do a song with THE Cher!

[Stevep]

If Matt gets Christina he has won...especially if they perform 'hurt' together. She has a great voice, underrated.

Are these acts confirmed?

I don't think anything's fully confirmed but apparently one of One Direction confirmed Robbie?

[Stevep]

ah ok, cheers.
