I know, I posted this one first :hehe:

[Adamw92]

Why a 1D song for Lauren :( ugh.

[Headie]

I don't know what the theme is, Uptown Funk doesn't seem to be one that would suit Unplugged :shrug: Xmas is deffo one of the themes though.

[Headie]

I know, I posted this one first :hehe:

We posted it at the same time :joker:

I'm so excited 4 this :clap1:

Agree, Fleur will smash it

[Raph]

The sad thing is that as good as Fleur is, Rachel Adedeji was so much better but just wasn't backed by production :(

[Headie]

I don't think the 2nd theme is unplugged, must be 'free choice' or something

[LukeB]

The sad thing is that as good as Fleur is, Rachel Adedeji was so much better but just wasn't backed by production :(

I think both of them are amazing but I think Fleur is better, Rachel Adedeji Follows me on Twitter :amazed:

That's so awesome! She's one of my favorite X factor contestants of all time! So robbed she was.

[Adamw92]

Seriously not happy with Lauren's songs. Why 1D??? :(

[LukeB]

That's so awesome! She's one of my favorite X factor contestants of all time! So robbed she was.

I was gutted when she left.

I supported Rachel,Lucie, Stacey and Olly that year :p

It was one of the jukebox options last week but wasn't chosen.. looks like producers really want her to sing it :laugh:

Fair, fair! I liked Stacey and Olly but my top three x factor contestants ever as well as my top 3 from that season was: Rachel, Lucie and Joe :D

[Adamw92]

Ugh. It's pretty obvious who they want out this week, I really hope people get behind her to spite them.

Would love to see a shock Andrea/Ben boot just to see the catladies meltdown on Facebook!

:clap1: here for this! I really hope Lauren gets a rebound vote.

[kirklancaster]

Mario Lanza's version of 'O Holy Night' is tailor made for Andrea - if he elects to sing it that way, while Fleur could not have had a better song than Mariah's. It will be fascinating.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

They all sound quite good

well apart from boring ben - this weeks canon fodder

[Headie]

I think Fleur could do this urban version of All I Want For Christmas

[Merry Mockmas]

Lauren's getting the groups this week then lol, I wish that she had Wrecking Ball tbh.

Ben's first choice I've never heard the song off the top of my head, and his 2nd song I can't stand.

Andrea's got two decent song choices for himself there I feel, Wrecking Ball will be his biggest challenge Musically I feel though.

Fleur will need a lot of backing tracks to save her on both songs tbh.

[Merry Mockmas]

Why a 1D song for Lauren :( ugh.

She'll do the better version though.

East17 is the one that I'm dreading tbh for Lauren.

[Headie]

^bye, Fleur will be amazing as per usual

[erinp5]

Same old shyte ....boring

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Andrea has not rehearsed today. He has come down with flu. He's on voice rest. :sad::bawling:

[joeysteele]

Lauren better do real justice to Stay Another Day,that is one of my all time favourite songs.
I hate to hear it done badly.

Mock, make sure she does it to perfection.

[Josy]

Ugh. It's pretty obvious who they want out this week, I really hope people get behind her to spite them.

Oh come on...she's singing a 1d song if they want anyone gone it's certainly not her.

[Marc]

I've never heard the Bruno Mars song but it should be really good for Fleur

[Time to Sleigh]

They got it bang on! :)

[Headie]

I've never heard the Bruno Mars song but it should be really good for Fleur

It hasn't even been released yet... just shows how current she really is :laugh:

[Time to Sleigh]

I really can't believe how spot on they have got it this week! Absolutely brilliant job!!!

[girlfighter24]

Love Ben choices got it spot on I predict a very strong night for him

[Merry Mockmas]

:joker:

I'll sure try Joey, although I hate that song so I'll prefer Lauren's version no matter how she sings it tbh, sorry.

[Adamw92]

She'll do the better version though.

East17 is the one that I'm dreading tbh for Lauren.

See, I could see her doing Stay Another Day similar to What a Feeling, which could potentially sound so good.

[Merry Mockmas]

I'm thinking vote getting wise for Lauren with Stay Another Day as there's much bigger and modern songs being picked on the night than that song I feel.

[Brother Leon]

Lauren going to ruin a classic 1D track.

:joker:

No favourite of mine can do a 1D track worse than 1D.:joker:

Hell could even Stevi sing a 1D track worse than 1D out of this years bunch?

[Black Dagger]

Imagine thinking the producers are after getting Lauren out when Fleur doesnt even have a good song. They clearly want one of each category left in the final

[Black Dagger]

Hating on 1D is so 2010. Theyre good musicians

[Headie]

Hope Fleur does a version like this

Fleur's probably got the biggest song choice of the whole night with that Mariah Carey song, and will more than likely be on later than Lauren in the time slots for the 8th week running.

[Merry Mockmas]

Yeah if you like such imaginative songs like Best Song Ever and Steal My Girl.

[Liam-]

Steal My Girl is a tune, back off :fist:

[Black Dagger]

All I Want For Christmas is a mess of a song for a contestant on this show, it is chosen for anybody they want rid of on Xmas night. Who even cares about running order as well at this stage? SK went on late last week and still got the least votes.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

GMkRMiO8FIU :flutter:

[Merry Mockmas]

Running order still counts, actually probably even more so when it appears to be so close like this top 4 does appear to be.

And even if you don't like the song of Mariah's, most of the people that watch the show (which will be more than just hormonal teenage girls) will connect with that song alone way more than they will Lauren's or the two guys songs.

[Black Dagger]

You make it sound like Stay Another Day is some unknown track when it's one of the best Xmas songs ever, she'll do the Chvrches/Rae Morris (that she did in the live lounge this week) version and be fine.

I'm not saying that Lauren hasn't got big song choices this week, they all have, but Fleur has got the biggest followed by Ben with his Hallelujah song choice.

[Liam-]

Mock, are you covering all bases/excuses ahead of time just in case Lauren is sent home? :laugh:

[Merry Mockmas]

You know me too well.:joker:

Btw as my Mother is crazy over Ben I keep hearing how he sounds when I'm in another room and his performances sound a lot better than when I'm watching him on screen, Lauren holds up quite well away from Clarity, and my Mom doesn't like the other two very much so I doubt that I'll get to test them on this.

[Adamw92]

I'm thinking vote getting wise for Lauren with Stay Another Day as there's much bigger and modern songs being picked on the night than that song I feel.

Well she does have Story of My Life but then I can just hear all the whiny little 13 year old girls saying she "ruined" an "amazing 1D song".

It really doesn't make a difference when it gets to top 4. It's just a simple case of whoeverhas the most fans goes through.

[Merry Mockmas]

Well she does have Story of My Life but then I can just hear all the whiny little 13 year old girls saying she "ruined" an "amazing 1D song".

Just try to ignore them, they're just thinking with their developing vaginas.

Everybody that isn't a teenage girl will think otherwise I'm sure otherwise their ears might need testing.

[Christmas Lights]

1D song for Lauren what the hell :facepalm:
she will make it work though im sure but why stupid 1D

the other songs seem interesting for all of them
