I don't understand all this talk of Cher having the best song. This is subjective really...and all Beatles songs are wonderful anyway. Seems like the contestants have just chose the right one for them.

I dont care that cher has a lennon song...lennon WAS afterall part of the beatles.

What I will care about, is if she attempts to rap during it

It wouldn't be a crime if she did, would it? If done well, it could work.

Possibly. but cher has yet to rap well...in any performance. I doubt she will have a massive turnaround and be good at it this week

In your opinion, shouldn't state it like it's a fact

Yes that would do nicely, thanks.

Compared to the professionals out there, she's pretty 'average'. But as a new, young pop star, she can exploit the theme, regardless.

On a brighter note, if she just sings...I really do think she will smash it. Really hoping for this, as I actually liked her 'stay' and the singing part of last weeks performance. Nice little voice she has

I agree, though obviously her vocals are weak compared to some other contestants. I'm sure she'll get a recording contract in any case.

If its the former, then Cher's song is not valid and would be a cheat....but it wouldnt be the first time that the judges have done this.

'Something' is George Harrison's, if I remember correctly

I think people just need to get over their Cher hate. I'm not particularly a fan but its still a John Lennon song and there have been bigger deviations in themes this series e.g Matt doing Bruno Mars in musical heroes week and Mary doing her audition song in guilty pleasures week. Meanwhile Mary is going to be doing the Shirley Bassey version yet thats not a problem because she isn't hated like Cher is.

Yes, but written and recorded and while the Beatles were together it was also on a single by the Beatles too as a double A side in 1969 with Come Together and made 4 in the Charts,I am reliably informed by one of my Cousins.

Imagine has only ever been a John Lennon song, written.recorded and released as a solo single by him years after the Beatles broke up.So has never been a Beatles song ever as have none of Paul McCartneys, solo or with Wings or George Harrison solo since My Sweet Lord or also any of Ringo's from It Don't Come Easy in 1972.

I'll be eager to see Rebecca's, she could pretty much win it if she smashes it this week.

On the Cher/John Lennon debate, most of this shows include the beatles' solo work when they do this theme. Somebody doing Imagine on a Beatles theme is nothing new.

I have a feeling Rebecca is going to just clinch it in the final with a similar % to Shayne. Matt is great but I think his popularity will start to wain because it was so high in the first place, whereas Rebecca seems to be really emerging after going a bit quiet in the middle. The only way is up for her I think.

I don't think anyone else stands a chance really

People say that every year but talent always prevails (apart from last year, but the same demographic will have been voting for Lloyd)

when there is a good, likable female in shows like this, the public really get behind them

IMO talent prevailed last year; Joe had a much better voice than Olly and Stacey, but he surely clinched it through a teen girl demographic, minor thing but yeah...

I don't think it did, there were more talented contestants who went out earlier on. Stacey and Olly were the weakest in their respective categories and Joe was pretty far down the pecking order in terms of the top 12. Even though Joe won I still think Cheryl couldn't have ballsed up any more spectacularly and she put the complete wrong three through

[Dr.Gonzo]

There's loads better songs to give Matt than that. Hello Goodbye would be a good start, or them high notes... Paperback Writer.

******* Come Together.

Oh definitely, but of the three finalists I mean. Miss Frank, Rachel, Lucie, Jamie and Danyl all had more in the way of talent IMO. I didn't watch the audition stages much last year, but she definitely shouldn't have put Lloyd through and Rikki was completely mismanaged. Cheryl got very lucky.
