really, nobody cares

Fleur would never enter into a world of releasing big band music, and I wish the UK's fixation with tedious, soulless pudding-faced crooners like Buble and Groban would piss off.

the theme, really, is that they're all going to be performed by a live band there on the night. Forcing them all to sing songs that were out 60 years ago is neither productive nor interesting.

It doesn't matter what genre they're going to go out into after the show though, it's about there being a theme and people sticking to it, they should be able to show their versatility.

Look at the backlash Tulisa got when she gave Little Mix a Kesha song on rock week, there was uproar, so i don't see how it's fair for Simon to ignore the theme himself.

He will do his own version and it's going to be amazing, as always.

Don't say it's Big Band week if one of them is going to skip it.

And the excuse 'It's got trumpets in the song' is hardly a good excuse either, if that is what defines big band, then they might as well give SK 'Down with the trumpets' by Rizzle Kicks

What makes you think that they haven't given Stereo Kicks that song? The production could be trying to protect them like they're doing with Fleur.

Are the 3 pets going to be on in the last 3 this week? Meaning Fleur, Stereo Kicks, and Jay.

You know what, knowing Louis it wouldn't surprise me if they had been given it.. but they're probably going to be doing something by the Rat Pack, 'That's Life probably.

You can pretty much assure one of those 3 will be last, more so Jay than anybody else.

[Shaun]

Well I'm all for the abolition of themed weeks to be honest Unless they're really broad like UK #1s, Queen/MJ... maybe some better ideas that're more current would be a sort of 'Live Lounge' week with acoustic/stripped-back current songs rather than 'big band' ones.

Not one of them are going to release big band music, and to be honest no one has on the show since Leon Jackson. Pretending it's an interesting genre to anyone other than the nannas is futile.

I mean expecting Fleur/Only the Young to do big band is no different to expecting Andrea or Ben to do hip-hop.

[Liam-]

I don't think there should be themes either, just let them choose the songs they like and suit them best and let them get on with it i think, but since there are themes, i believe they should be stuck to

I would love an 'unplugged' week tbh.

[Shaun]

still waiting for a Nicki Minaj week

[Mystic Mock]

Lauren suits more modern Pop Music to me, but Smile is probably the best choice for her this week.

[Vanessa]

Stereo kicks still haven't decided which song to sing?

They're probably trying to find a song that suits him.

But they won't have enough time to learn the song.

As long our favourites go through who cares is what I say?

[joeysteele]

Oh no,some of those are awful, not I wanna be like you again,didn't Katie Waissal do that when she was on for this same week.

Why near always the same songs.

Does anybody think that Ben could be in danger because of song choice

yes, i do. that song has been done to death.

[Mystic Mock]

The women that fancy him, and the guys who have got a male crush on Ben should save him I think.

[Black Dagger]

And the fact he's nowhere near the bottom of the pack in terms of talent anyway.

But his like Lauren for not moving around the stage very much, heck he doesn't even take a few steps on most of his performances lol.

I do like Ben though, but I just find it strange that a Rocker is stuck by the Mic-Stand and not move in the slightest.

Btw I had a look at who doesn't like Lauren on DS, I only did it quick but it seems to follow the FB crowd.

3 Girls didn't like Lauren, 1 guy didn't like Lauren, and 1 N/A didn't like Lauren.

[Mystic Mock]

I'll be doing Ben next.
