[Black Dagger]

Bloody horrific.

[Liam-]

Why have they given one of the best songs to ever be written, to Stevi ****ing Richie? that's beyond awful

Fleur's song though >>> I love that song sf much :lovedup:

[Black Dagger]

Yass, Fleur is one of the few I'm looking forward too.

The rest are all cliched, predictable rubbish.

[Crimson Dynamo]

stevie

bwahahahahaha

classic

Lauren will be perfect for this

:dance:

[Crimson Dynamo]

paul and ben look doomed

[Liam-]

I'm looking forward to seeing if she can actually sing a song without rapping or it being too, produced or poppy.. even though it's a relatively uptempo song.. she's going to take it to church.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Andrea sounds quite good

[Liam-]

Yeah Andrea's song is pretty uptempo, which will appease his 'he only sings ballads' haters, but it's still a big, powerful song for him to play with at the same time.

[Jord]

Stevi lmfao

[Strictly Jake]

Andrea- yeah he will do well
Paul- had been royally stitched up here he is a gonna
Only the young- yeah they are also in a lot of trouble!
Stereo kicks- it's not really suitable for them
Fleur- I'm not sure, she may do a good job of it
Ben- out of the whole theme he could have been given a big powerful song this is really mediocre but I hope he does well
Jay- I actually predicted this song for him, I think he will do well
Stevi- this song should never ever ever have been given to him!!!!

Yeah overall it's really bad

[Raph]

Looking forward to Fleur, dreading Andrea, stereo kicks and Stevie.

[LukeB]

Lauren is going to smash hers :worship: It won't be as good as Leona Lewis's one though

[Liam-]

Alexandra's I'll be there >>>

But yeah, i like Stereo Kicks, but they're going to ruin one of my all time favourites.. their only saving grace is James.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I can just see the Pricks grimacing and bending at the knee and grasping with their hands doing this borefest jackson flop

[Ryan57]

Not as good choices as I'd hoped. Only The Young set to destroy another old classic. Hope they finally go home.

Ben singing my favourite song of all time. :flutter: Wish he'd be doing something more suited to his voice.

[Vicky.]

Andrea will be great

Cant wait for Stevie :laugh:

[Braden]

Here for Linzi Martin featuring in Lauren's performance.

[Mystic Mock]

Lauren will be directly compared to Leona with this song so I'm a bit worried this week.

Jay James and Stevi are being heavily favoured as usual.

OTY, Paul, Ben, and Stereo Kicks are in trouble in the sense of I'm not sure if their fans will like the songs that's been given to them.

[Shaun]

Paul vs. Only the Young, then.

[Brother Leon]

Looks very underwhelming. Lauren and Boyband better not ruin one of my fave songs.

[Vanessa]

Andrea Faustini - Somebody To Love, PERFECT

Ben Haenow - Man In The Mirror WRONG

Fleur East - Will You Be There INTERESTING

Jay James - The Show Must Go On BORING

Lauren Platt - I’ll Be There NOT SURE, COULD BE GOOD

Only The Young - Blame It On The Boogie CAN YOU SAY CHEESE?

Paul Akister - Don’t Stop Me Now HE'S BEING THROWN UNDER A BUS

Stereo Kicks - You Are Not Alone ATROCIOUS

Stevi Ritchie - Bohemian Rhapsody MURDERING A CLASSIC

[joeysteele]

Is this really Michael Jackson v Queen week or another halloween night.

Awful choices and a massive insult to take a song like Bohemian Rhapsody,to not only butcher it as to running time but to then add insult to injury by giving it to Stevi.

This show really is a joke now and it shows no respect for great artistes or their songs.
On paper all this looks really horrendous.

[Locke.]

LOL. Stevi with the potential to deliver the greatest X Factor performance ever

Might give it a miss ,dire song choices.

Wasnt bohemian rhapsody meant as a pisstake song to start with? I always thought it was :joker:

[Vanessa]

It's still a hard song to sing. Stevi is going to murder it! D:

[Vanessa]

Jay has lost his voice. Will he get a pass like Diana Vickers, i wonder? :suspect:

[Natalie.]

let's hope not

[Vanessa]

let's hope not

I know i shouldn't say this, but i hope his voice doesn't come back. :fan:

[Strictly Jake]

Wasnt bohemian rhapsody meant as a pisstake song to start with? I always thought it was :joker:

No it wasn't a joke. In fact it was Freddie's baby as it were. It was all members creative styles and minds all coming together to deliver a piece of art in my opinion. If you properly listen to the lyrics it's a very powerful song. But when it gets covered by people like stevi it's made into a joke

[Strictly Jake]

See I think they have tried to be clever with stereo kicks performance. It's being mentioned that people need to know them all individually. I think this is going to be performed in very much the charity single of you are not alone was. They are all going to have individual bits that you can distinguish who's voice is who and it's then going to have harmonies and a massive gospel choir in the background. I say trying to be clever, because no matter how hard they try they should have never been put together in the first place.

[Babayaro.]

Queen's greatest song given to Stevi of all people ffs

[Vanessa]

Queen's greatest song given to Stevi of all people ffs

I know, right? :joker:

[girlfighter24]

Out of those song choices the two I am looking forward to are

Ben Haenow Man on the mirror - Out of all the song choices this is the one I am most looking forward to on paper it shouldnt work but I think its a great choice for him and will be a different performance from him considering last week where he did rock.

Stereo Kicks- I love this song choice for them I think this will be their best performance yet because it will be stripped back and do what they do best. It will all be about vocal and will be able to hear them do a solo.

[Mystic Mock]

The FB crowd are ****ing me off for attacking Lauren for doing ballads (despite doing Dark Horse last week but they didn't like it because she looked hot) while their precious Jay James does ballad after ballad in this nasal falsetto tone and a face that makes me feel violent.

Now they can't say Andrea only does ballads. :laugh: Lauren has done uptempo before, but Jay never does. :fist:

Are people still branding Andrea as a ballad singer after him tackling Relight My Fire?

A Song For Liam

Is Cowell in this life? Or in one of fantasy? He’ll be caught in a fans slide If he don’t get with reality He should save all our tears -- Open his ears and see -- Stevi’s just a poor singer who tries our sympathy-- Because he’s stayed too long, it’s time to go -- Struggles high, is flat too low -- Anytime he does go, can’t be soon enough for me, for me.

Mama, Stevi just killed a song
And I don’t mean to scoff
But I turned my volume off
Mama, X Factor had just begun
But now I've had to turn away
Mama, ooo ooo ooo
Stevie’s screeching made me cry
And if he’s not gone this time tomorrow
X Factor’s gone, it won’t be on, and nothing ‘ll really matter.

Too late, the final’s come And so has my greatest fear
Fecking Stevie is still here
So goodbye X Factor - I've got to go
Gotta leave you off my screen and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (every day the din grows)
Good music shouldn’t die
I sometimes wish Cowell had never been born at all.

I hear a tone-deaf screeching little man
Scaramouch, scaramouch why won’t his fans all go?
Thunderbolt and lightning – He’s really, really annoying me.

Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro – not magnifico

Am I just a lone voice? Won’t nobody listen to me?
Stevie’s just a wank singer, an affront to real melody
Spare my poor ears from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you make him go?
Bismillah! No – Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
Bismillah! No - Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
Bismillah! Cowell won’t make him go - let him go
He will not let him go - let him go (never)
Never make him go - let him go
Never let him go – ooo ooo ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh for fecks sake, he gives me earache, gives me earache, For feck’s sake make him go
.
My doctor has some earplugs put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you he should murder each song that he tries? So you think old Liam should just listen and cry? Oh this is crazy – can’t do this to music baby Just get Stevi out – just get Stevi right out of here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Music’s all that really matters
Anyone can see
Good music’s all that really matters to me.
Every day the din grows.

Love from Kirk.

p.s. When Stevi's singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' turn the volume down and drown him out by singing this version at the top of your lovely Welsh voice.
(or call the heddlu and report him for crimes against music:hehe:)

pps - nThe fecker won't format correctly - sorry.

First verse won't format - sorry

[Strictly Jake]

There has been talks again that Sk could be split into two groups. I don't see this happening. But if they did, it's unfair and pointless because it's obvious which 5 would make a good group. Just need to get rid of the 14 year old, Reece, and the Irish one then there is a potential group there! I know this is in the wrong topic but meh

[GoldHeart]

some pretty good performances
but most the songs surprised me
and i thought they'd choose more iconic well known songs like
Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal ,Bad or even Beat It
i expected Ben to sing 1 of those or even Dirty diana
and i thought somebody would do startin somthin
and im surprised stevi didn't sing i want to break free :laugh2:
and i thought somebody would sing we will rock you

[Vanessa]

Are people still branding Andrea as a ballad singer after him tackling Relight My Fire?

No, now they've moved on to Lauren. :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

No, now they've moved on to Lauren. :laugh:

Yipee!

[Vanessa]

Yipee!

She needs to do more uptempo. I know she was sick this week, but all i hear from her is everything slowed down.

[Mystic Mock]

She did do Dark Horse last week though, and imo everyone should play to their strengths on TXF as long as they don't sound the same every week which to me Lauren doesn't.

None of them could of done the dance sections those songs require. The stage wouldn't allow for Smooth Criminal either (unless they did a less intense lean).
Also, Billie Jean has a part of the song that is just instrumental which is then when the moonwalk takes place. The judges would of complained about copying it I assume. They could of taken that out I guess, but it would of been a bit weird. I think they were better off avoiding those songs.

Jay same thing. All he ever sings is ballads. :sleep:

[Vanessa]

Next week is Big Band week. Andrea should sing either "My way", "That's amore" or "Con te partiro'", Andrea Boccelli. Something italian. :flutter:

but they dont have to do the whole dance performance
its not the west end theatre . and in previous xfactor years we have had billie jean and dirty diana and there was no problems
and as we know this year contestants have done their own spin and different versions of well known songs
so i think they could of done those songs
i wasn't expected the least popular songs :shrug:

Dirty Diana doesn't have a required dancing part. Those spins in the past haven't been all that great really. Aiden Grimshaw singing Thriller was absolutely woeful beyond belief. Billie Jean was done with a twist by Amelia Lily, I forgot that. You make a good point there. It's not really a song requiring dance so, yeah, it could of been done.

However the likes of Beat It and Smooth Criminal really are nothing without the dance parts. There are some songs that should just never be touched, though. Thriller has never been done properly for example.

I think the acts were far better off doing the MJ songs they did thinking about it. MJ's slower songs are mainly easier to do. Only The Young did the only up tempo MJ song and destroyed it.
