[Jevans]

Yes it's been confirmed!

what a great week this week

[tate]

Confirmed then?

This should on paper be a great week

[Beastie]

Yes!!!!! Can't wait

[Shaun]

Oh gaaaaaaawd.

[Jevans]

Mary Byrne rumors a double elimination as well.

[joeysteele]

Just please, I love the song but not again on X Factor I hope will someone get 'the long and winding road'. or 'Let It Be'.

Theres likely over 1000 songs in the Beatles songbook, lets have a good and totally new selection, Actually the right song and Paije could shine this week, No place for rapping in Beatles songs from Cher though, surely.

[Jordan.]

Meh. :/

[Shaun]

Hmm. Well noone will touch my favourites because they're too impossible to sing (While My Guitar Gently Weeps) or too unknown by the masses (In My Life).

Some I'd be interested in seeing:

Paije - I Want To Hold Your Hand (quite probable given his past performances)
Rebecca - Oh! Darling (recently covered by Florence + the Machine, would like to see her or Katie try it)
Cher - if she DARES bring in some rap I'll throttle her. I guess 'Come Together' would provide her with a platform to gurn and move stupidly, à la Olly Murs.
Katie - see Rebecca, or Let It Be
Matt - Something would be quite nice from him. Not much in the way of falsettos for him.
One Direction - I'd rather they died. But I imagine they'll get something like She Loves You.
Mary - hmm. Blackbird? That'd be interesting.
Wagner - lmao. err. Back in the USSR? Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da? I Am The Walrus? omfg I hope it's the latter. COO COO CA CHOO.

I agree, such a fantastic back catalogue so hopefully they will not rake over old ground

And with Cher? Oh god, please no rapping over classics such as these. If they even think of mashing the Beatles with Jay Z / 50 pence etc I think I may actually blow

Yes Yes Yes to that one, great song

[Smithy]

Oh for christ sake :/

[Jevans]

I like Cher sort of. We know she can rap just please Cher I beg you don't rap during Beatles week or a set artist week like Elton John week last week. It's not needed :s

[Z]

Meh

If they pick a well known song, they'll murder it
If they pick a not so well known song, they'll bore the audience and put themselves at risk

So I expect they'll all pick predictable, done-to-death songs and ruin them. I think Mary, Rebecca and Matt will put in passable performances but I'm not holding out much hope for the rest...

[MeMyselfAndI]

what an awful theme like 30 years old

[Jack_]

May as well bring back my beloved Big Band Week now

This!! Mary doing a belting-stand-on-the-spot performance would actually be appropriate as well! I can only assume they're not doing it because Cher and One Direction would fail miserably at it.

Are you being serious?

[Locke.]

Don't like it when the theme is based around one artist/group, should always have wider themes.

[Tom]

I hate artist based theme weeks especially done to death and cliched ones like The Beatles. I've said it before and will say it again, Simon is always going on about how the contestants need to be current and relevant, how the hell can they do that with themes like this?

I agree. However The Beatles have done so many songs that they are an exception!

[Niamh.]

Brilliant, I was hoping they'd do a Beatles week!

[Jevans]

Mary rumored to do 'Something'

If you can't do a half-competent Beatles cover you're going nowhere in music. Their catalogue is too varied to say "this theme isn't broad enough".

[Strictly Jake]

great theme. I love the beatles. But I wish they did it when they could sing two songs therefore they could do the beatles and queen!
