Yes!

Sam is awful and Nicholas is boring and makes Jahmene look like Mr Excitement... which means Luke will go first, but I'll still support him.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Hes awful, and Vanessa I thought the 3 boys you wanted through were Sam, Nicholas & Paul :conf:

He actually looks really cute and adorable with his shorter clean hair

I really hope he washes the hair. He would look so much better on the live shows. If not, nevermind. :hugesmile:

[Black Dagger]

I sort of hope he does, because that is where his main hate is coming from on the social media atm 'Why did he take through the boy who couldn't be bothered to wash his hair ew'

So hopefully he does and just slays on the first live shows to shut people up :hmph:

I'm just worried that it could hold him back. :(

A member on DS is saying that Luke will be singing Desire by U2 this weekend.

It's not confirmed though.

Well done to Luke for surviving another week. He's the dark horse of the competition. :love:

[Black Dagger]

Great stuff.. bound to have an early slot next week after being last boy on two weeks in a row, if he performs like this week he should be safe :love:

He just needs to carry on what he's doing. He's getting better every week. I read on DS that Luke as an EP on itunes. It has six songs in it. I want to get it. :amazed::amazed::amazed:

[BigSister]

Lukes grown on me I didnt really know who he was at first my mum used to say hes the one with lots of hair but still cant remember lol but his talent has won me over
Hoping he stops in long

Luke Friend - Heroes by David Bowie.

Someone suggested this for Luke to sing next week. I think it's perfect! :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

I'd love that :amazed:

I hope they don't play it to safe and give him bloody Aerosmith, I love I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing tho.

[Vanessa]

I'd love that :amazed:

That's a good song as well, but Heroes is better. :lovedup:

I did like the explanation of, "Well, it's because he's sailing through to the next round!"... Awesome from Louis IF it was spontaneous. Of course the whole thing - the use of the boat in the first place, Sharon's comment, and Louis' response may all have been rehearsed. He was a little TOO quick with that comeback!

Although, Louis does have a reputation for using some totally random and meaningless stage props just because it seemed like a good idea at the time...

..I was watching a movie yesterday, I won't say the title or give any of the plot but one of the things was that there was a boat up high in a tree..random...well, there was an explanation for it but all the way through, I kept thinking about Luke's 'boat performance' and how random/odd it was to have that boat there.....

[Vanessa]

i really hope Louis gives him a good song to sing. I was thinking R Kelly would be great for him. :amazed:

[Vanessa]

Seal ! Omg! I love that song. Great song choice for Luke i think. :amazed::worship:

[Black Dagger]

This could be his defining moment :love:

(apparently he's done something to his hair as well)

Has he washed it? :amazed::hugesmile:

[Black Dagger]

Has he washed it? :amazed::hugesmile:

He's not said, he just said he wanted some tips on twitter :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I wonder if he's doing the Seal or the Jack Black version? :suspect:

[Vanessa]

He's not said, he just said he wanted some tips on twitter :laugh:

I wish he'd just wash it. He could look so stunning. :(

[Vanessa]

Good luck to Luke for tonight. Love the song. Can't wait to see his version of it. :love:

[Vanessa]

Another week, another amazing performance. Omg! That gave me goosebumps! Go Luke Go! The dark horse of the competition! :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Vanessa]

OMG! LUKE IS TRENDING WORLDWIDE! :dance:

[BigSister]

Luke was my fave this week amazing performance and great song choice ^_^

[Vanessa]

He was so amazing! That song was perfect for him. I love that he chose the song himself. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

For someone who started as an outsider i think Luke is doing very well. His odds are getting better and he's trending on twitter. Amazing comments about him on ds and on the xtra factor. :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, I had him down as early exit (but that is always pessimistic Lucas, I think all my favourites will flop) but he's not even peaked yet, it reminds me of Marcus Collins/Craig Colton, when they turned Marcus into the pimp boy over Craig very quickly, although they haven't yet imo, they still prefer Nicholas.

He is this year dark horse and could go all the way! :dance:

[Vanessa]

I think this song could work for Luke on disco week. What does everyone think?
Jahmene Douglas sang it last year.

AKrRrGLqpLo

[Black Dagger]

I think he could get his guitar out again and work that :love:

Really intrigued what Louis has in mind, glad he's safe again, I expected him to be this week, he had a good one, needs to keep up the momentum.

I think he needs a song that can show his husky tones. This one is spot on. It made me love Jahmene last year. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

I sent the link to Luke on his twitter. I hope he sees it. :hugesmile:

[Vanessa]

I think this song would be good as well for Luke.

0yBnIUX0QAE

[Marc]

This week was good for him, the last two not so good.

[Vanessa]

I disagree. I think he was been good every week. Loved "Let her go". :lovedup:

[BigSister]

ooh dont leave me this way would be a good choice. Im kinda struggling for a good song for Luke and im kinda worried for disco week. Im sure whatever he chooses he will be great though

[Mystic Mock]

I'm normally good at picking songs out for acts like Luke, but I must admit that Disco Week has me stumped.

[Vanessa]

I love this version of the song.

[Gstar]

He's in my top 3 favourites :D

[geee_m]

Yes!

you don't have a clue do you? Haha

:amazed:

[Vanessa]

I'm thinking about which disco songs would be good for Luke. How about Billy Jean, by Michael Jackson? That could work. :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Luke is now 4th favourite to win behind the big three! :amazed::cheer2:

Amazing :amazed:

Glad to see it, I was expecting a B2 performance last night or next week but he seems to be going in the right direction, another vocally good performance on Saturday and he should be on the tour and I'll go :amazed:

I don't think that will help Luke tbh Vanessa, any act that's ever sung Billie Jean on The X Factor normally is in trouble of being in the bottom two and potentially eliminated.

[Niamh.]

Oh you can add me to this :love: will have a listen to the songs you posted in a bit vanessa

[Vanessa]

Oh you can add me to this :love: will have a listen to the songs you posted in a bit vanessa

He should sing "Good timing part 2" on the live shows. :lovedup:

[Niamh.]

Is that his own song? They're not allowed to do that though are they?

[Vanessa]

Is that his own song? They're not allowed to do that though are they?

I'm not sure. Maybe they're allowed if they get to the final. :hugesmile:

Who else wants to be added? Just let me know and I will do it. Ammi, I wasn't sure if you wanted to be added or not. :blush:

Anyway this is Luke's thread.

I'm so nervous for Saturday, Lucas. :eek::bawling:

[Black Dagger]

He's 4th favourite to win now, and is gaining steady support, if his vocals are good then he should be safe, I just worry, he'll be first boy in this week after having late spots the past 3, and if he's forgettable that is a worry, but it should be fine :love:

I'm so nervous. No one comes out looking good on disco week. :sad: But i'm excited as well.

[Vanessa]

I think Toploader "Dancing in the moonlight" is the perfect song choice for him. He'll make it sound AMAZING and it's on his style of music. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

OMG! LUKE MET OLLY MURS LAST NIGHT! How amazing would it be if they did a duet together? :amazed: http://t.co/onn71LXSvs

..yeah, disco week tends to be tough for most contestants, I agree...but at least that makes them all 'even' Vanessa..none of them really in their comfort zone, which is also good...oh, yeah, that might be a good choice for him...good thinking Vanessa...

So after that hectic night meeting some wonderful people,it's back to rehearsing rehearsing rehearsing! (And eating) #friendies #rad #teamluke

From his facebook page.

I asked him if he can give us a hint about the song. :hugesmile:

[Vanessa]

Luke calling us fans #friendies. LOL Love it! :joker:

I've asked him for hints for the past 3 weeks and I haven't got any, so stubborn of him :mad: :laugh:

Here's hoping that they treat him well as the Indie/Rock type of singers get abused on this show quite a lot, especially after a very good performance.

Omg! Luke Friend singing a Justin Timberlake song would be amazing! :amazed:

[BigSister]

Awwwwww the boys meeting olly though ^_^

I get the feeling Luke has Justin Timberlake "Suit and Tie". I think he'll be great, because whatever he sings he always puts his own stamp on it. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

Omg! The idea of sexy Luke dancing on stage! Can't wait! :amazed::evilgrin:

[Vanessa]

If they do a rock week Luke should sing Bon Jovi. He reminds me of him so much. I've been a Bon Jovi fan since their first album. Luke reminds me of John so much. :lovedup:

[joeysteele]

I would like to be included here, he is really awesome in his performances. Would like to see him win this series.

Not sure if he's the one singing that or someone else. I think it would suit Rough Copy as well. :suspect:

[BigSister]

ohhhhh sorry i thought Luke would be singing that the only thing i could see people picking up on was its not really a `disco` song

[Black Dagger]

IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED..

He's singing, play that funky music :laugh:

This is the version I think Luke will be doing. It would suit him very well.

Luke needs to play on his personality with his song. I think he can do it. :hugesmile:

[Vanessa]

'Luke is dedicating this to the Late Great Tommy Cox an Ace Bassist who loved and supported the young Luke with his music and who's favourite song this was'

So going by that, Luke chose the song himself. In which case I'm sure he'll do an amazing job

Aww! :bawling:

[BigSister]

aww thats so nice ! im sure he will do a great job now and be amazing ^_^

[Vanessa]

aww thats so nice ! im sure he will do a great job now and be amazing ^_^

He says he's a bit nervous, but excited. I wish I could give him a hug. :hug:

Luke has fast become my fave after last night I thought he was amazing, why was gary not on is feet? the rest of the judges were. jealous perhaps?

[Black Dagger]

Luke has fast become my fave after last night I thought he was amazing, why was gary not on is feet? the rest of the judges were. jealous perhaps?

I think he's more cautious to give them out, that and I don't think Luke is one of his favourites yet, he's fast becoming a front runner though, I don't think the early slot will dent his chances at all with those comments either, great stuff.

LOVED the lying down at the end and holding his note :love:

[Vanessa]

Luke has fast become my fave after last night I thought he was amazing, why was gary not on is feet? the rest of the judges were. jealous perhaps?

mizzy, do you want to be added to the list? :blush:

[Vanessa]

This boy has so much stage presence and charisma it's incredible. I haven't enjoyed a contestant like this since Leona Lewis. And to top that off he has a great rock voice. Reminds me of Axel Rose sometimes in the way he sings and performs. LUKE TO WIN! :cheer2:

[smudgie]

Could you add me please Vanessa...his performance last night was amazing.

I am still supporting Abi as well:hugesmile:

I'm so glad he made it! I was worried for a minute there! Pheww! Now bring on big band week! Did anyone hear what Luke said about this on Xtra Factor? I didn't get it.

[BigSister]

I didnt either but big band should be really good. i have no idea on song choices.

[Vanessa]

I hope we see him suited and booted. He'd look gorgeous! :amazed:
Some song choices suggestions from DS :

1- Muse version of Feeling Good
2- Hoodoo Voodoo doll, Brian Setzer
3- Moondance, Van Morrison
4- Cry me a river, Michael Buble'

Someone suggested the Sid Vicious version of My Way. That could work as well. :suspect:

Some interesting song suggestions on DS :

Cry my a river, Michael Buble'. I wonder if that could work. :suspect:

Thanks, Lucas. What do you think about Muse Feeling good for Luke to sing? The more i listen to it the more i think it's perfect. :love:

YES! Something like their version would be great for his vocals, it's another interesting week for him, and he's due another late slot :love:

There is so much you can do with this song. I think Luke could put his own stamp to it.

Luke has met Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol! :amazed:

Do you think Luke will wear a suit this week? I hope so. We'll see yet another side of him on big band week. :D

Oooh I'm not sure, it depends on the song choice, if it's like you say, more mellow then probably, but if it's gritty, like Feeling Good then he'll likely wear his jeans again, I am excited though, I hate the wait!

I think his voice is great and very versatile. So he'll be fab again. He has a lot of stage presence and can really work the stage. :)

[Toy Soldier]

He could do well with the Muse version of Feeling Good but he'd definitely have to bring it down quite a lot; his higher ranges are a weak spot.

True. What do you think of Van Morrison Moon dance? That would be even better i think.

[Mystic Mock]

Luke with Feeling Good would be awesome.

I also think U2 if they have a Big Band song would suit Luke quite well.

Someone has suggested "Mack the knife", but i'm not sure about that. :suspect:

[BigSister]

Im thinking thats more on a nicholas song or a sam c song but someone will do that
And yay for second fave. ^_^

I'm hoping it's a good song, like "Feeling Good" or "Me and Mrs Jones". :lovedup:

[BigSister]

Feeling good would be good (haha) because usually a woman sings that so it be nice for a twist plus you said muse did a cover so it would fit nicely for Luke
Plus he did a kinda uptempo one last week so no one can accuse him of playing safe

Great song choices there.
What do you think about Elbow "One day like this"? He has done an amazing cover of it on youtube. Check it out, Mock. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

[BigSister]

Chasing cars by snow patrol might be good as well

[Vanessa]

Are Elbow british?

[Black Dagger]

Elbow are British. They live 20 minutes away from me tbh <3.

I'm so intrigued, I'll be so let down if it's just a basic Coldplay song.

[BigSister]

I think they are yes. They arent very big though so im thinking better song choice as sometimes its the wrong song choice

[Mystic Mock]

Agreed BigSister, and don't worry Vanessa once I get my Laptop out I'll listen to Luke's version.

And I was agreeing with BigSister on the Snow Patrol song lol.

Don't worry, Lucas! As long as he has his guitar we know he will be fab! :love:

How about Jake Bugg?

[Black Dagger]

Don't worry, Lucas! As long as he has his guitar we know he will be fab! :love:

Yes, he needs his guitar back so he can have another moment :love:

[Vanessa]

I think Two Fingers by Jake Bugg would be a good song choice.
