    I though OTY would do something from the Lion King.Fleur as i said earlier will probably do My love is your love or Ghetto Gospel.I think Ghetto Gospel would be really good for her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Song choices being revealed one by one over Twitter.

    So far...


    Only The Young - Something About the Way You Look Tonight

    Lauren - How Will I Know




    LOVE OTY's choice, they did a great version of that in the audition stage.

    Lauren actually also did her song in the audition stage funnily enough.



    Next clue is for I Will Always Love You...so looks like Andrea is probably singing that...UGH!

    Hmmm ok it's actually been revealed that it's Ben who'll be singing I Will Always Love You.

    Ben is talking about his choreography so looks like he is singing something uptempo.

    I bet Only The Young will do Crocodile Rock!

    Is he jazzing his version up a bit so :p

    It could be interesting. I don't know of any versions sung by someone with Ben's type of voice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    SK - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Bleh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Full list



    Boys
    Andrea Faustini - I Have Nothing

    Girls
    Lauren Platt - How Will I Know?

    Groups
    Only The Young - Something About The Way You Look Tonight

    Stereo Kicks - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

    Overs
    Ben Haenow - I Will Always Love You

    Fleur East - I'm Every Woman

    Stevi Ritchie - I'm Still Standing




    Mostly predictable as usual. Looking forward to OTY and Fleur. I hope Lauren doesn't do a slowed down version of How Will I Know again. Boring!

    Looking forward to OTY & Lauren, hope Lauren keeps the original uptempo version though, it would really suit her. Fun & young!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    After seeing those song choices, I'm reluctant to put Stevi in my predictions - it's a good choice for him... On the other hand, apart from Stereo Kicks, everyone else in the competition deserves to be there more... Don't know what to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,883 ✭✭✭MelanieC


    Extremely predictable as usual. I just knew Stevi would be doing I'm Still Standing,no doubt he'll have some mad choreography as well which will mean he'll be gasping for breath again. He's being set up.

    Looking forward to OTY. SK - a bit meh as per but maybe James will be able to salvage it.

    We may be in for a shock elimination this weekend - I'm thinking maybe Ben or Fleur. I would be delighted to see either of them go.

    Really? Both of them have sung their songs already this series. Nothing we haven't seen before from them.

    Ben's choice - wtf?? Unless he does something radical with it, it simply won't suit him.

    I actually hope the double elimination backfires and Stevi sails through. Channel Christopher Maloney, Stevi....you can do it! Give this show the winner it deserves!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Kunkka


    Stereokicks will survive with that song choice in my opinion. Stevi is gonzo sadly :(:o

    Probably Only The Young then I'd say...... tough to call though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,317 ✭✭✭gavmcg92


    It could be interesting. I don't know of any versions sung by someone with Ben's type of voice.

    Here you go. Chris Cornell during an Obama fundraiser in 2008. Going to be a complete copy of this I would assume. Absolutely love it. With Ben singing this, he has the potential of stealing the show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Ugh I think that's a horrible version! But yeah that is highly likely to be the one he'll sing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,317 ✭✭✭gavmcg92

    Gives me shivers if I'm honest. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 876 ✭✭✭Euphoria Intensifies


    Quite like that Chris Cornell version actually - first time I'd heard it. I think you're spot on that that's the version Ben will sing.

    Stevi's choice was SO predictable. Looking forward to it though :D

    I did think Ben was being set up with that song but now ive heard that he will probably walk it.

    I didn't see either of their auditions so it'll be new to me at least. :D

    Walk like an egyptian:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,726 ✭✭✭Pretzill


    Stevie's choice is really predictable - except for the egyptian costume? I think this is the hardest week to predict because on one hand your sure stevie will go and with a double elimination stereo kicks are the next worst imo - but it's the point in the show where there could be a shock exit - I actually like Fleur and Ben but I don't think they have the public behind them (least not Fleur)

    I think the song choices are pretty poor really - it's a pity noone looked at Elton's back catalogue a little closer - Sweet Painted Lady et al. He had some great songs that weren't big hits - and tbh Houston's big numbers bore me.

    Fleur East's family to join her on stage for tonight’s X Factor performance

    “It’s about women and celebrating that,” Fleur says as her sister, mum, auntie and more will take to the stage for her rendition of Whitney Houston’s I’m Every Woman


    What next in the race to crown Fleur the winner :D

    oh cringe!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭allym


    They really are trying so hard to win her the public's affection. Makes me think she must not be doing too well in the votes? I know she hasn't been in the bottom two, but for all we know she could be coming third last every week.

    It may be cringeworthy. But I reckon that's an awful lot of extra pressure to put on a performer imagine having to sing with yer ma on the stage - I said it before Fleur is a consistent performer - but doesn't seem to have the public backing - I think that's a shame because out of the contestants left she's the only one who appears to have what it takes to have a good career in the business.

    Oh sure - I'm not really looking at Fleur at all. More Simon and the producers trying every trick they can to get her far :D Possibly.

    Yeah,if anything that could go against her. The public don't like being manipulated & can see through these tactics (like Jay & his grandad's suit last week!)

    Been looking at all the "Favourites Polls" on Digital Spy & OTY are running away with it,believe it or not! Hooray! :-)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Really hope Andrea gets Kanye.

    Stereo kicks really picked awful songs.

    If I could vote, I'd choose:

    Fleur - Family Portrait
    Ben - You Are So Beautiful
    Stereo Kicks - Run (but it's NOT a Leona Lewis song ! Grrrr)
    Lauren - Don't You Worry Child
    Andrea - Heartless

    Lauren - Don't You Worry Child

    Agreed with all of the above! Actually I'd like either Joe Cocker song for Ben, not picky.
    And I have no idea what Kanye West song that is but I want it just to hear Andrea do Kanye. :D

    No the contestants (or producers :p) picked them. The public decides what they sing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,317 ✭✭✭gavmcg92

    Right there with you. Best songs from that list.

    Oh I do know that one! It's the Gay Fish one from South Park :D

    Seriously out of his comfort zone so I'd love to see him try it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,883 ✭✭✭MelanieC


    I hope SK do Against All Odds,best of a bad lot. The other two have been done to death on The X Factor. Something In The Air would've been a better Phil Collins one tho.

    I think Ben is cheating a bit by having two songs from Joe Cocker in his three. Obviously his forte. He's hedging his bets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Some decent choices in there...
    I'd pick:

    Andrea - Heartless

    Fleur - Family Portrait

    Ben - With A Little Help From My Friends

    Lauren - Ain't Nobody

    Stereo Kicks - Fix You (I'd actually rather see them do Run, but only if Snow Patrol start getting their due credit - sick of them banging on about Leona Lewis on this bloody show)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭ItsChecoTime

    Presume it will be more like The Fray's version, but it will still be a bit of a change which he desperately needs
