how do they choose the songs?? and who get's first pick??? it seems to me its another way they can manipulate the show behind closed doors!!

Cheryl had Candle in the Wind last week, and this week, Imagine, Yesterday and Help.. Maybe she gets first choice

I thought that each act had turns of having first pick with the songs (when it's down to a specific artist to choose from) but yeah Cheryls lot seemed to have to creme de la creme of Beatles songs on Sat. hhhmmmm

I think I remember Danni and Simon having a dig at each other on a previous show because they had both wanted the same song and I can't remember who got it but I suppose technically that could happen a lot it just doesn't because of the differences of the acts and the fact that different songs suit different voices

I think the judges are on a rota for who gets first pick each week, not sure how it works but I'm 99% sure that was explained in a previous series.

yeah, it was when Louis and Dannii both wanted Rule the World in Take That week, JLS wanted it but Rachel ended up singing(and murdering it)

I bet Simon has the final say though

Read in Dannii's Book that each mentor takes it in turns to be first. Louis and Dannii had an argument with Louis saying she stole a song he wanted but it was the week where she chose first so she didn't.

I rekon it is just between Cheryl and Simon , with Louis and Dannit getting the scraps
