[Tom4784]

Andrea - Predictable, will probably be given diva songs at every opportunity. Give him something different to sing.
Jake - He's just gonna be given terrible song choices every week isn't he?
Paul - Yawn.
Jack - Somebody did a accoustic version of Straight Up on American Idol/XF US (I can't remember), it'll probably be a ripoff of that version.

Chloe - I was looking forward to her doing Call Me tbh.
Lauren - wtf is this? Irene Cara week?
Lola - I'm in a boredom induced coma at the mere thought of this.
Steph - This will be terrible.

Only the Young - Ew, stop with the cheese.
Stereo Kicks - I can't draw up enough energy to care about anything this group does.

Ben - Who?
Fleur -Could be good.
Jay - Painful.
Stevi - Sensational choice.

[Liam-]

I'm disappointed with Mel and Simon, Andrea's song is nothing but predictable, He'll knock it out of the park, but it's just so.. non-exciting and Ben's choice, Jesus, it's just awful, wtf is Simon playing at?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

jealous guy :flutter:

not here for the rest

[Josy]

Jay James I'm Gonna Be - 500 Miles (The Proclaimers) :facepalm:

Omg Stevi Ritchie Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley) he is going to pull it off again this week with that choice the same as his song from last week :laugh:

[Raph]

Andrea's song - BORING

Excited to see what the others have to offer though :) here's hoping Andrea pulls a Danyl Johnson and ends up in the bottom 3 in week 3!

[Liam-]

Cheryl isn't putting much effort into her acts songs either, 2 Irene Cara songs, John Lennon and Blondie? 80's 101 :laugh:

Here's hoping Lola lands herself in the bottom 2 this week and gets sent packing for boring everyone to tears once again :fc:

[girlfighter24]

Not sure on Ben's song but he will nail it

[Black Dagger]

Jealous Guy :love:

That will be a MOMENT.

Chloe has been screwed right over, that is nothing but cheese, she'd have nailed Blondie and instead they gave it to the one on borrowed time.

Jay James :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

What the actual hell have they done???
Firstly Chloe jasmine would have been great at call me, instead they have given it to Steph who will not suit singing the song! And given Chloe fame which if she is trying to be taken as a serious singer is an awful choice, I don't like her anyway so she will hopefully go home. Steph should have been given a slow meaningful song she doesn't have the type of voice for upbeat track, I love call me, I love blondie, I love Steph but them combined. No no no. I actually like the choices for the other girls though

The boys, yeah not too bad I guess but could have been better

The overs, seriously?? Jay singing the proclaimers? Is that a joke?? He will find himself in the bottom with that! Stevi was supposed to be singing addicted to love but to be fair he will be the exact same whatever he sang. Fleurs and bens ain't too bad!

Groups, stereo kicks song is extremely camp not the market they should be aiming for but then again Louis is there mentor and only the young, as much as I enjoy a good boogie to come on Eileen it's kind of a novelty song and they would have been better off with the original choice of power of love!

It's all so wrong!

My predictions, Steph straight out with Jay and Chloe in the sing off...

[Shaun]

well this is going to suck. hard.

also, jealous guy is a ****ING LENNON SONG

[Black Dagger]

muLfJWOfqGQ

I expect Jay will do this version, and bore us all to death apart from near the end where he wakes us up with his wailing.

[Crimson Dynamo]

whooah what rubbish uninspiring songs

Its like they bought a crap 80s compilation wedding album

[Firewire]

Awful song choices

[Locke.]

Looks like Stevi will be the best performance two weeks in a row

[Drew.]

Jay James will be sent home packing with that terrible song choice, the rest look pretty boring. Looks like Stevi will be the star of the show again.

[Headie]

Uhm how have you never heard of Fame, it's iconic http://i.imgur.com/ejogNFP.png

Next week's theme is Movies theme

[Black Dagger]

I love night at the movies.

But this automatically means that Ben does Aerosmith and I'm so over that on X Factor.

[warrenhill]

In the end its Simon's decision as to what they sing......The judges dont have the final say....:nono:

[Samm]

Movies ew

Chloe will smash it tbh

[erinp5]

WTF!!! the Proclaimers :crazy:

[GoldHeart]

and also lauren will put her own spin on it

i will have to see how the others pan out

[girlfighter24]

Really looking forward to Ben's performance as I think it will be more like this version

[Mystic Mock]

Is Jay and Jack's song choices serious? It sounds like obvious sabotage to me.

[Black Dagger]

Jack's is obvious to change around, they've done it on AI, he'll be fine with his guitar.

[Pete.]

Lol Stevi's gone

[Vanessa]

OMG! Andrea is going to make me cry with that song. It reminds me of when my mum was alive. I used to listen to it all the time when i lived in Italy. :bawling:

[Mystic Mock]

The only joke act left in the competition is not going in week 2.

[Vanessa]

I just realised i don't know Ben's song. Is it any good? :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Not sure on Ben's song but he will nail it

I don't know that song.

[girlfighter24]

Paul sang it for his audition

This is the best version of the song

Cheryl isn't putting much effort into her acts songs either, 2 Irene Cara songs, John Lennon and Blondie? 80's 101 :laugh:

Here's hoping Lola lands herself in the bottom 2 this week and gets sent packing for boring everyone to tears once again :fc:

no

[Vanessa]

[Black Dagger]

I remember when the auditionees sung One Moment In Time on the final and they brought out the fat one on a throne and Sharon/Dannii looked on in disgust, one of the greatest performances on the show ever. Hope Andrea delivers.

This song always makes me cry. :sad:

[Marc]

Sick of Andrea already

[Vanessa]

:fist::laugh:

[Marc]

I hope Jack does Andrew Garcia's version of Straight Up :love:

[Marc]

Jay James will be trouble

[Jordan.]

And she criticised Louis for giving two of his acts Katy Perry last week hypocritical hoe

[Shaun]

based on song choices I can imagine a bottom three of Jay, Only the Young and Stephanie again... Lauren and Jake're in trouble too.

[Amy Jade]

Actually looking forward to Stevi

[Black Dagger]

Nah I think Lauren will glide off her week 1 glory now for a few weeks, do think people will get bored of her by week 6 though.

[Mystic Mock]

Hopefully Lauren will turn this cheesy song into something special tomorrow.

[Beastie]

I thought the 80s songs were going to be a bit more upbeat. I love Only the Young but not sure about their song choice.

Where is Footloose? A bit of Cyndi Lauper? Simple Minds? or.. HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS or.. FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS!

I love the 80s and they could have had a spectrum of BETTER SONGS.

[Beastie]

A few of them have good songs. Like a few of you have said Stevi will pull out all the stops again and survive another week.

I am sure they are giving a few of them downgraded songs in the hope to get rid of them.

Where is the queen of pop herself??? MADONNA!!

[Natalie.]

Stevi shall be great :laugh:
I love Jealous Guy..

[Z]

These choices bore me
