I like having a theme, but I do think rock is a bit restricted. I'd prefer themes to be like 21st century number ones, 80's week etc where they can all play to their strengths. I mean say (god forbid) Lloyd wins, hes hardly going to release a diva song, or Stacey won't release a rock song.

Yep, but sure aren't they supposed to be challenged each week rather than be spoon fed a number that suits them time and again? I'd want to find an artist that can vary their style according to the song they have to perform. I couldn't handle Lucie singing ballads every week or Jamie shouting out Rock songs constantly. Sleepathon stuff.

I'm all for challenging them which is why I like the latter half of the competition where they HAVE to sing a ballad and an uptempo song but I do get very bored with some of the more narrow themes, especially when you have no interest whatsoever in the theme, e.g. last years Mariah Carey one.

Well ok, single artist week is silly but there's so many ways you can approach Rock week and it will challenge quite a few of them. I'm personally looking forward to it, except for Jamie...oh I can't handle another shoutathon.
