X FACTOR - And it's beginning to look a lot like 'Christmas week'!

[Raahh]

oh and 'A Song that will get you to the final' a.k.a one they have probably sung before.

Here is the list-

Matt Terry
Silent Night
Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me

Emily Middlemas
John Lennon - War is Over
Gary Jules - Mad World

Saara Aalto
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is You
Sia - Chandelier

5 After Midnight
East 17 - Stay Another Day
Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)

I heard 'Stay' on the radio the other day, and guessed it would be 5Am's pick- cue big fluffy parka jackets, vocals that were poor in the original any way, nice bells. Ignore the fact it isn't really about Christmas.

More bloody Sia, who must be on the payroll his year.

A falsetto Silent Night will be bloody awful, so i hope he tones it down. There will be a choir though. Of children probably. Who will also feature when Emily drones her way through 'War is over'.

I have no idea who I want to get to the final from this lot. Maybe they will bring back a wild card

See y'all later.

I've gone for vodka this week. it seemed needed.

I'd vote for New Wave/Punk week though!! Great idea!

Well, that got shouty.

Poor Tears for Fears?

They're laughing all the way to the bank!!

X factor's done it for me. I hate men singing in falsetto since it started.

We need HoneyG and Ed Balls to have a dance off right about now to wake us all up.

Matt will suffer because I imagine there will be a lot of people who don't know the song. And that often has an effect.

A new wave night would be fun!
A bit of Blondie or Japan..

Also. I may be old but there seems to be a point in pop history when songs seemed to stop having an actual tune. Or is it just me...?

Destiny- I know

Fairy I would pay actual real money to see that happen.

Awful

Destiny- yes, tunes don't seem to be as necessary these days.

I wonder what happened to Cody from The Voice...?

Matt should bring out a fragrance called 'Desperation'

They would do new wave, then Em would do Heart of glass JL version!

Agree derxa. I cannot imagine for all the tea in china downloading that !

Was watching an interesting doc about Northern Soul last weekend and they were saying that Happy by Pharrell was a direct descendent of those tunes. No wonder it was so popular.

Bring back songs with tunes! 😀

I think they should do a Grebo week. The world needs to hear covers of PWEI, Carter USM, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Gate Bikers on Acid et al!

Who is Cody from The Voice?

Yes, i can see that.
Happy was upbeat, singalong, had a tune , caught in your head type song. It makes people smile.
Sqoosh, never heard of any of those !

squoosh Yes! I can just picture Emily doing a Mega City Four number

Cody sang 'Mad world' on The Voice too, didn't she?

And what happened to Kevin? Poor Kevin. Hi big comeback hasn't really happened.

So she is the actual Chandelier!!

Sick of Sia.

Ooh Cody was Boy George's protege on the Voice last year. Did some interesting cover versions and was quite unique. Got to the finals. Was curious to see if anything came of her.

I don't like this. It's like she's rushing through it
