X Factor 2014 (Spoiler Discussion)

Euphoria Intensifies

I'm not actually going to get to see the show on Saturday cause of a family thing, so he better not be performing then!! Imagine a performance with Wagner, Rylan, Stevi and Jedward, I would actually die if that happened

You don't have to imagine it, just look it up on YouTube when they did it last year (minus Stevie obviously). The ideas are as stale as ever in The X Factor production camp.

So according to the 98FM website, Take That will be performing with all 3 acts on Saturday night - I'm assuming as a group performance. Apparently they'll be singing Rule The World.

And for their favourite performance of the season, they'll be redoing:

Fleur - Uptown Funk
Ben - Man In The Mirror
Andrea - Earth Song

It seems far too soon for Fleur doing uptown funk. They're really going to have to upscale it and mess it around a bit.

Acts performing this week have been confirmed with the songs they're singing.

Take That - Rule the world (with three contestants)
Ed Sheeran - Photograph
Meghan Trainor - All about the bass

Thats a great song for Ben but teh winners song id have to hear to see if it will suit him.

ibarelycare

People can take their tinfoil hats off now, since the winner's song is WAY more geared towards Ben


Fleur's got two stompers before that anyway, really looking forward to seeing her perform Can't Hold Us.

dubstarr

If Andrea wins i will chew off my own arm,if i have to listen to Whitney Heuston

ShazGV

Ben should sound good doing that Imagine Dragons song, but not particularly looking forward to any performances tomorrow. Tbh I actually forgot the final's tomorrow until I saw the song spoilers, that's not good.

As far as I know, third placed contestant leaves tomorrow night and then the winner is announced on Sunday.

Sunday.

They will each have their favourite song, then the duet on Saturday, then lots of padding with vox pops and family messages. And then the 2nd runner up will get the boot.

Sunday will the last 2 - performance with all the other contestants (except one or 2 this year, possibly), winners songs, lots more vox pops and tears, celeb performances and then the winner (Simon) is announced.

All the above will be done in 20 minutes, the rest of the show will be Simon staring smugly at the screen while smelling his money, chuckling occasionally.

Love ben's song choice! Kind of disappointed that two finalists are doing the same winning song though. Seems like a bit of a cop out.

Yeah that's really annoying me. So boring hearing the same song twice in quick succession.

Is there anyone who doesn't feel that Simon wins every year no matter what?

Does anyone else think it's a bit Cat on Fleur that Andrea gets a song that obviously suits him while her and Ben have to share a song that TBF probably will suit Ben better?

Dunno, he has Sinitta following him around 365 days of the year, that's not winning in my book

I don't get it at all. Did they have problems sourcing a song for Fleur or something? It's hard to see how fleur can even put her own spin on the song to make it "her own". Strange!

Well, I guess it's what Simon wants...

Mel B too ill to be there tonight. TULISA is her replacement on the judging panel.

Voting has been leaked and guess what... Fleur didn't top last week's votes!

This year’s leak comes just hours before and final and is rather surprising as it show’s that Fleur East is actually struggling in the voting.

Despite being the odds-on favourite to win all this week, last week she managed 22% of the vote even after her ‘best performance of the series’.

Fleur’s cover of Uptown Funk may have shot to the top of iTunes but it’s Ben Haenow who is topping the important public poll.

He’s yet to be in the bottom two and in last week’s semi-final had 50% of all the votes at the top, more than double those of nearest rival Fleur.

Again, TellyMix is not a site I would readily trust - and Josh Darvill is certainly not a person I would trust in any way.

It's enough for me to change my prediction.

Now why do the words "agree to disagree" spring to mind here...?

Soft Falling Rain

I think it's the catchyness of the song rather than the performance that got Fleur praise. Vocally she's weak, her performance last week anyway was nowhere near the power of Bruno Mars.

Jesus I'd even argue that Alexandra Burke has the far superior voice, but because Fleur can dance a bit she's treated as the next coming.

Agreed.

But X Factor tried being a half decent singing competition back in those days. The public at large didn't like it. So they dumbed things down further and the flock came :P
