So far we've been treated to Let It Go, Chandelier and No Fear (!) with LOADS of fireworks *.*

Posted by: Ryan. 5th December 2016, 06:25 PM

And she finished with The Winner Takes It All! It's all going to look so good in the VTs on Saturday *.*

Collab predictions:

5AM + Craig David
Matt + James Arthur
Saara + Emeli Sande

Posted by: Liаm 5th December 2016, 08:32 PM

I can see maybe 5am and Little Mix, all of those do seem like good shouts. Nicole might just do it with Matt tbh laugh.gif

Posted by: Ryan. 5th December 2016, 09:05 PM

At the moment I'd go for duet predictions as:

Matt: Louisa Johnson
Saara: Nicole Scherzinger
5AM: Fleur East

I know Nicole is Matt's mentor, but that is the type of bizarre thing X Factor would do and they can always use the wildcard aspect to explain it.

And for song of the series, assuming they making it to the Sunday:

Matt: Writing's On The Wall
Saara: The Winner Takes It All
5AM: Try A Little Tenderness

Posted by: Ryan. 5th December 2016, 09:12 PM

Nevertheless, one rumour I've seen on multiple sites now is Saara with Adam Lambert singing "Who Wants to Live Forever". Adam isn't a big name but I always feel like he's appreciated by the general public as a performer when he appears on TV - his performance on X Factor a couple of years ago got rave reviews I believe - and that would be quite the duet!

Saara and Adam tweeted each other a few weeks back, and Saara said Sharon is organising a big surprise for her for the weekend. Adam seems like the sort of contact Sharon would have, not that I believe Sharon cares if Saara duets with Adam Lambert or Abi Alton.

Posted by: PaulM1983 5th December 2016, 09:34 PM

Holy hell I'd be well and truly scalped if they sang that together. Adam's vocal on that song is astonishing. That would be a serious moment.

Posted by: Ryan. 6th December 2016, 01:07 AM

The Sun are "confirming" the duets are:

Matt and James Arthur (although James was originally lined up for Emily)
Saara and Adam Lambert
5AM and The Weeknd

With Sam Smith and Little Mix performing as guests only.

The Weeknd is the wow name but Saara and Adam are such a perfect match, if Who Wants to Live Forever is true then that is the only potential Alexandra/Beyoncé of the three I believe. James and The Weeknd are more chart relevant but are less "all-out performance" as the X Factor audience would love.

Posted by: jase. 6th December 2016, 01:32 AM

Sam Smith performing as a guest? He has nothing to promote unsure.gif

Wow @ The Weeknd.. ohmy.gif

Posted by: Liаm 6th December 2016, 04:04 AM

Oh my god Adam with Saara is totally a winning combo. f***, this is actually happening wub.gif

Posted by: BigMixer 6th December 2016, 10:45 AM

The Weeknd was kinda expected as he's been in France for the last week.

Sam Smith?! As soon as I saw his name I was like "Yep, he is performing Writings on The Wall with Matt", but now I see James Arthur is performing with Matt.

Posted by: Tinasha 6th December 2016, 10:48 AM

I thought Weeknd might perform, but performing with a contestant feels very off brand for him!

Adam is a great choice for Saara, he's never really had a hit in the UK but he's still a well known name and huge talent.

Posted by: Tinasha 6th December 2016, 12:19 PM

Why do the Popjustice forums think GEM are performing with 5AM?

Posted by: Sabrina. 6th December 2016, 12:54 PM

The Weeknd ohmy.gif

Sounds too good to be true

Posted by: Qween 6th December 2016, 01:19 PM

Adam and Saara will surely be an incredible MOMENT, but it doesn't feel like quite the calibre of guest star that's going to propel her to victory.

Ooft. Say You'll Be There again please!

But yeah. Weeknd is a huge surprise. Maybe Matt singing Say You Won't Let Go will make the song listenable to me? biggrin.gif

Posted by: Houdini 6th December 2016, 02:08 PM

Saara will win the competition I think.


Why do Little Mix have to come back again for fuck sake! Haven't we seen/heard enough of them recently? I'll probably have the TV on mute or take a leak while they're performing.

Because they're currently the most successful act to have come from the show? Because they have a new single and album to promote? Because they're fantastic performers? Pick one.

I'm not going to go round in circles and get into this "please don't say anything negative about Little Mix" debate again, it's not October 2016 anymore. Bottom line is when they perform I will either have my TV on mute or I will go out of the room for a few minutes.

But you're basically saying Little Mix shouldn't be back again because you don't like them, no? tongue.gif What about the many who do? It's be like me saying Stormzy shouldn't perform at the Mobos because I've had enough of him. You're welcome to dislike Little Mix but I'm sure you knew what you were getting into when you posted that...

You can say whatever you like about Stormzy or any other artist for that matter, it has no effect on me personally.

I presume Matt and James would sing Impossible rather than anything else, can't see Say You Won't Let Go working that well in such a setting.

Posted by: Liаm 6th December 2016, 08:28 PM

None of them are really high calibre wow performances. Whilst The Weeknd is a big name, they'll just do a bog standard usual 5am performance of Can't Feel My Face and Matt will shout his way through Say You Won't Let Go. At least with Saara the quality is most probably going to be knockout, Who Wants To Live Forever in particular will be incredible.

Posted by: Jonjo 6th December 2016, 08:31 PM

We should just do away with all the guest acts and just have Little Mix perform numerous times, instead <3

Posted by: PaulM1983 6th December 2016, 08:47 PM

Just watched Saara's gig in Helsinki. Good god, the vocals. She has never sounded better. Wow.

This is true, though if I wasn't pimping R SAARA for the win so badly I'd be screaming for her to duet with Nicole. The vocal SHOCKWAVE would be something to behold.

He's been confirmed as a performer now, but I think the papers got confused, I really can't see him doing a duet too.

That is quite low for Louis and a bit uncomfortable to read. Unnecessarily nasty. Totally agree with Liam's tweets!

Posted by: P@ul 9th December 2016, 07:37 AM

All Louis said was that they already have Nicole and Sharon and to stop asking him about Cheryl??
Liam looks like an idiot now getting so riled up over a daily mail article imo.

Posted by: Qween 9th December 2016, 09:41 AM

Liam would have had a point if he didn't go LOWER by going personal against Louis, but then Liam hasn't exactly been known to think before he speaks either.

Posted by: Tinasha 9th December 2016, 09:42 AM

Have you all not watched the video though? It's disgusting... I don't know many people who wouldn't lash out if their partner was attacked in that way.

The video shows Louis as somewhat crazy and aggressive though, like Cheryl REALLY get's under his skin. It made me uncomfortable.

Posted by: Qween 9th December 2016, 11:50 AM

I think I'm probably biased by my UTTER LOATHING of Cheryl (and bafflement at her success and general status as beloved by the nation).

Posted by: Serg Mix 9th December 2016, 02:37 PM

It was disgusting and Liam was right with his tweets.

Posted by: DiamondHeart 9th December 2016, 04:57 PM

Louis needs to just be quiet, I prefer him over Cheryl as a judge but he just lacks professionalism (half of the reason I find him hilarious) but this is just unneeded.

Posted by: P@ul 9th December 2016, 07:32 PM

Madness and Louis Tomlinson both confirmed to be performing. Bit underwhelming compared to Adele and Coldplay last year.. Madness only made the cut to perform on an early Xtra Factor live show in 2012...

Posted by: COMM 10th December 2016, 04:07 PM

Well I'm missing the first half of the final tonight due to a staff party but expect a drunken, tearful post at 1AM whether she leaves or progresses to tomorrow night.

Posted by: bah... humbug... 10th December 2016, 04:55 PM

Anyone predicting who will leave the show tonight....


I'm going for 5 After Midnight

Posted by: Liаm 10th December 2016, 04:57 PM

Almost certain it will be 5am.

Posted by: JosephCarey 10th December 2016, 04:58 PM

Yeah I'm expecting it to be 5AM also! Hoping and praying for Matt though cause it leaves a clearer route to the finish for Saara tomorrow kink.gif

Posted by: Dobbo 10th December 2016, 05:08 PM

If Saara can pull off her songs she'll be fine but if not I think she'll definitely be going. Likelihood is she'll pull them off though.

If so tough to call between the others, I feel Matt's steam might be running out at the wrong time unless he's picked up a new wave of voters who were backing Emily originally.

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 05:24 PM

There seems to be a rather odd sense of 5AM doing well among the GBP, so I am fearing Saara might be out tonight. But that might also be gay hyperbole, lets hope so.

Posted by: Tinasha 10th December 2016, 05:25 PM

I have a horrible feeling Saara will be out tonight too. Especially with her song choices sad.gif

Posted by: Sabrina. 10th December 2016, 05:34 PM

Yeah think it'll be 5AM too

Posted by: Cameron 10th December 2016, 05:37 PM

Saara has exceeded all expectations so if she goes out tonight, 3rd is still fab

I feel like she's got the most momentum at this stage. Expecting 5 After Midnight to be out today and then it being Matt vs. Saara tomorrow with the best performer on the night winning

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 07:11 PM

I'll seriously have a meltdown if Saara leaves tonights.

In one sense this is very true, but the closer she's got to winning the more I've allowed myself to get invested. I tried not to after the emotional DESTRUCTION of HRC, but here we are.

I've got a feeling Saara's going tonight sad.gif

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 07:50 PM

I can make a convincing argument for any of the finalists to finish in any order, I really think it is down to the performances on the night. If Saara does the America's Got Talent version of her song though that will be quite the moment, it is basically Chandelier 2.0 in its arrangement.

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 07:54 PM

I do have to say that 5AM's odds are shifting dramatically for the better for them, I wonder if something has been leaked from a dress rehearsal?

Posted by: WiseManFromLeeds 10th December 2016, 08:01 PM

Hope 5AM go tonight, they're clearly the weakest imo

Posted by: Dobbo 10th December 2016, 08:03 PM

5AM would be the worst winners of all 13 series. Yes, including Leon Jackson & Joe McElderry.

Posted by: jase. 10th December 2016, 08:04 PM

Just shoved an extra Ł25 on Matt (would get Ł100 back. already placed Ł60 on him last week and would get Ł180 back so Ł280 in total)

5AM were sub-par.

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 08:20 PM

Wow, that was as bad as expected. Really wanted them to do something different with the song.

and of course the judges are praising them only cuz this is finale rotf.gif

Posted by: Slade 10th December 2016, 08:20 PM

I actually enjoyed that?? One of their best performances (which isn't saying much really kink.gif), dance breaks can be a bit hit-or-miss for me but that one worked.

(Saara to kill it tonight please)

Posted by: christmdhas 10th December 2016, 08:22 PM

Kieran's always been somersaulting. He came to my school in 2015 before 5AM and somersaulted about ten times laugh.gif I met him and had a brief conversation with him, that's my claim to fame.

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 08:29 PM

It's obviously NOTHING NEW, but Matt really is hilariously camp.

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 08:30 PM

Wait at Matt's brothers being hotter than him.

Posted by: Cameron 10th December 2016, 08:30 PM

Ideally I want Saara to win, but I wouldn't be sad at a Matt win either

I wouldn't really OBJECT, per se, but he's so boring and bland as a singer/performer that it would be Ben Haenow all over again (or Joe if indeed he does turn out to enjoy the peen).

Posted by: Dobbo 10th December 2016, 08:32 PM

Not a great idea singing a song with that title tonight!

Posted by: Cremey 10th December 2016, 08:33 PM

I'd actually prefer a 5AM win over a Matt win. He's dull personified.

I think he might have one hit and then maybe a #9 silver certified album but thats it.

Also, Lauren Murray's judges houses >>>>>>>>>

So even Zayn came to support Louis? So nice.

Posted by: Slade 10th December 2016, 08:35 PM

That Matt performance was nice enough on the whole but AS EVER could have done without the OTT falsetto right at the end. His style is so formulaic!

Posted by: christmdhas 10th December 2016, 08:36 PM

Matt seems to have decreased in quality gradually.

Posted by: bah... humbug... 10th December 2016, 08:36 PM

I found that dull and boring

Posted by: torresgirl 10th December 2016, 08:36 PM

That was a bit bland and lifeless from Matt. He does have a good voice but I never feel engaged with him.

Posted by: Dancember 10th December 2016, 08:37 PM

Matt's performance was so dull, even 5AM were better than him mellow.gif

NOT Nicole looking disgusted @ Derm referencing the flirting between herself and Matt rotf.gif

Posted by: Dancember 10th December 2016, 08:38 PM

Matt wouldn't even have Ben Haenow levels of "success".

5AM are probably the most likely to sustain a good career outside of the show, but Saara deserves to win!!

Posted by: WiseManFromLeeds 10th December 2016, 08:39 PM

A couple of technical issues there!

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 08:41 PM

This was far from his top 5 best performances.

Winning means a lot to Saara, without it she won't really do a thing. 5AM (and Matt) will do what they do regardless, I reckon.

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 08:42 PM

The only takeaway message from that Matt perf is that he is most definitely, 100% into women. I know WHY they're pushing it this week, but it's pleasing to know that X Factor doesn't do subtle at any time.

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 08:44 PM

Annoyed with Nicole and "your very own", "England vote!". Why is she shading Saara like this.

Oh dear. I think this may be slightly too theatrical for the general public.

Posted by: torresgirl 10th December 2016, 08:50 PM

I don't like the song choice for Saara

Posted by: Dobbo 10th December 2016, 08:51 PM

Weaker than her last couple. Still miles better than the other contestants tho of course.

Posted by: Dancember 10th December 2016, 08:52 PM

That wasn't her best performance, still miles better than the other 2 acts tho.

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 08:52 PM

Once again she performed the shit out of that, but I don't feel like that was anything like as much of a moment as Chandelier or TWTIA, which she clearly needs.

Posted by: Slade 10th December 2016, 08:52 PM

Not quite up there with her moments from the past couple of weeks, but still great.

The build-up was good and then those long notes at the end were astonishing *.*

Posted by: jase. 10th December 2016, 08:54 PM

So tempted to stick Ł20 on Saara being first out. ARGH

Posted by: bah... humbug... 10th December 2016, 08:56 PM

To be fair that was the best of the performances of the night, but not on par with her previous performances.

Posted by: RobBob 10th December 2016, 08:56 PM

It wasn't her best but she sure performed the shit out of it. That VT was incredible though, had me in tears and so emotional at how much she has just blossomed, there really hasn't ever been an X Factor story like it.

Actually feeling like Matt will be 3rd after that, even got a dampening from Simon to boot.

Saara's performances wasn't amazing, basically the 2 high notes very the only great part of it. Hoping the duet is much much better!

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 08:59 PM

That definitely cements my belief she will leave tonight

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 08:59 PM

It wasn't her best performance but she did the best she could with it, and I think they chose the song with the best of intentions. The bookies have responded well though so it's looking positive so far!

Posted by: Cameron 10th December 2016, 09:00 PM

I love how XF have the 1 member who couldn't sing a note.

I am surprised he is still performing. It has taken guts, I hope Simon didn't push him cry.gif

Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 10th December 2016, 09:04 PM

Tbh I think it's so disrespectful to be mocking him - he is probably not in the best mood to sing rn

Posted by: gooddelta 10th December 2016, 09:04 PM

Good on Louis for doing this performance considering his sad news.

This is a pretty good track and Steve Aoki on the X Factor final is quite a sight! The pre-drop chorus of this track sounds like Atemlos Durch Die Nacht *.*

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 09:04 PM

Some people really should just stick to token middle 8's on album tracks

Wasn't that bad a song actually, #1 contender though I'm not too sure. Fair play to him for performing.

I hope it does well, mainly for Aoki than Louis though. I'll admit it does take guts to perform after what's happened though

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 09:08 PM

If I were to don my extra cynical hat, I might even suggest that the reason he went ahead and performed was largely because he/the people at his label know they can spin the sad news into a bigger hit.

But I'm not wearing my extra cynical hat so I would never suggest that.

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 09:09 PM

If he goes #1, really hoping it won't be a #1 out of pity, plummeting on the charts the next week.

Saara can hopefully still win this, she was incredible, even if slightly less incredible than the last couple of weeks.

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the biggest selling songs of all time in the UK so it's not like it's an unpopular choice and she bounced well off Adam Lambert.

Matt was great too but Nicole definitely outshone him (though who wouldn't she outshine? Maybe only Beyonce laugh.gif)

5AM are so weak...they NEED to go out tonight.

Remember that It's Oh So Quiet was the first week Saara wasn't bottom 3 so it's not THAT silly a choice, it's a proven vote grabber already. She'll show her versatility with an uptempo in It's Oh So Quiet and a likely ballad in the winning single.

I think you missed the rest of my post where I talked about versatility tongue.gif besides, she only did Chandelier a week ago!

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 10:51 PM

Saara had 3 breakout moments with It's Oh So Quiet, Winner Takes It All and Chandelier - you could put No More Tears in there too although I don't quite rank that amongst the other three in terms of "breakout-ness". All four could be justified. I do think it's a big error, she should have gone with one of the two ballads but maybe singing Chandelier or Winner Takes It All for the third time this series was pushing it too far as of course only Honey G gets such a privilege.

That said I do think that will lose her the title, I think one of the two ballads would put her right in the hunt but this isn't going to have the same effect. Nevertheless I'm pleased we'll get to hear her winner's single even if it won't get released, it's just such a shame she's going to finish second in a competition for the FOURTH time but the fact she has made it here after that start is still remarkable!

Posted by: BigMixer 10th December 2016, 10:53 PM

Posted by: torresgirl 10th December 2016, 10:54 PM

Chandelier was stunning, goosebumps show stealer etc. put her 10 levels above the rest. Its oh so quiet is kooky and won't show what she can really do. How can it possibly be her song of the series? I just don't get it. Still hoping she can pull it off butt his makes ot so much harder.

Except it will - it will show she can do the whacky uptempos as well as her winning single which will surely be a ballad to show off her huge vocals? I much preferred Chandelier and Winner but this really isn't as bad a decision as it's being made out to be imo...

Posted by: Dobbo 10th December 2016, 10:55 PM

Should have been The Winner Takes It All - quite fitting too if that in fact won her the comp.

Posted by: Lukuzz 10th December 2016, 10:55 PM

Matt has been the winner since day 1, predictable and boring as it is its pretty much a given. He will have a relatively successful first single/album then probably disappear into obscurity or be a cover album singer like Jahmene or something. Hopefully Saara will at least get a decent career out of this and get to release actually good

Wasn't that the same for Fleur and Uptown Funk though? You have to do the song that gives you the best chance of winning. I wasn't a Fleur fan but that was Fleur's best moment so she repeated it.

And I must admit, Uptown Funk in the final had a lesser impact for me because I'd seen the exact same thing the week before! Besides, that was undoubtedly Fleur's defining moment, I'd say Saara's had three - Chandelier, The Winner Takes It All and It's Oh So Quiet, so she's definitely picked wisely I think. I didn't even enjoy that performance much cause it's not my thing but I can see why it's been picked and I think it makes sense! She clearly has two sides as an artist and she'll be showing both off tomorrow.

I like her so I enjoyed her personality on it, she's infectious but I'm not sure the average punter tuning in will get it. That's my concern. That its too far out there. I guess we'll see tomorrow. I think the song choices were bad tonight as well and she survived it. Maybe there's hope lol

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 11:06 PM

It's Oh So Quiet is certainly completely justified to be a song of the series, it was her breakthrough performance where she started to gain public support. However it was The Winner Takes It All and Chandelier that turned her into a potential winner and I have to agree with the majority that it doesn't make sense from a victory point of view to not perform one of those two. We imagine she topped the vote in weeks 8 and 9, she almost certainly didn't in week 3. These were even the two she performed at homecoming (alongside Let It Go (she was Finnish Anna) and No Fear (Eurovision)) so that suggests she knows they were her "big two".

She could still pull it out with a magnificent winner's single performance but I fear by that point it will be too late. I'm not going to cry sabotage as the producers have been fantastic to Saara on the whole throughout the series, and I still think she may actually be their preferred winner of the two. But this is definitely a misfire of a decision. I wonder if enough people tweet then they could do a last minute song change tomorrow, however I doubt the public voice will be loud enough.

Posted by: Tinasha 10th December 2016, 11:11 PM

Oh So Quiet isn't what I'd have gone for, but it's still one of the better choices for Saara, in Wembley it might be quite the spectacle. But I feel like tomorrow's choices won't matter THAT much now as tonight's performances will have the most impact.

Though it was more down to Nicole, the song choice and the poignancy of Prince's passing, Purple Rain really was the moment of the night and seems to be the main talking point, I worry it's given Matt the edge. I really feel BR was a terrible choice for Adam and Saara, they could have gone with a much more powerful song.

Posted by: Ryan. 10th December 2016, 11:19 PM

I found Adam and Saara's duet great! I imagine Who Wants To Live Forever would've been even better, but there was something so endearing and sweet about their duet. I agree that it seems to have been outshined by Nicole (not Matt as he was barely audible once Nicole arrived) but she seems to have given Matt the advantage unfortunately.

Posted by: bah... humbug... 10th December 2016, 11:23 PM

We really don't know what the winner's single is going to be, it most likely be a ballad since Ed Sheeran wrote it, its going to be more suited to Matt, he seems to kills it when he sings ballads, and obviously the winners track is going to be last track to be performed by them, which gives him the edge. I do think Saara will finish 2nd. I must admit boys haven't had successful careers as winners, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry, I can see Matt disappearing after a year or two, preferably sooner.

Chandelier was the best performance from Saara, but since that was pretty recent I see why she went for Its So Quiet, to be fair I did find that was one of her best performances along with Chandelier, its hard to predict, but with the winners track I think its leaning towards Matt as the outright winner.

I would have though with The Weeknd been one of the live guests they could have used him to sing with Saara, for me that would be a better duet instead of Matt having his own mentor Nicole, probably the track from the 50 Shades of Grey movie 'Earned It'

Posted by: jase. 10th December 2016, 11:30 PM

Well whatever happens (I do think Matt has it in the bag now), Saara should be extremely proud of herself. If you'd have told me that she'd be in the final all the way back in the first week (I'm sure I commented back then about how she screamed FIRST ONE OUT) I'd have cracked a rib from laughing so hard.

Posted by: Liаm 10th December 2016, 11:30 PM

Not by a lot though, this has to be the closest final ever! Most times at best it's "oh either might win but it will be ___", I think this will genuinely depend on the night but with Saara singing It's Oh So Quiet rather than Chandelier or The Winner Takes It All I can't see it tipping in her favourm even though we all know she'll slay Matt vocally.

Posted by: JosephCarey 10th December 2016, 11:35 PM

Yeah I really think it will come down to tomorrow night's performances. Saara was the clear favourite going into tonight and Matt's just eroded the lead it seems, so the playing field is pretty level going into tomorrow!

The Weeknd just isn't the kinda artist who'd do that, he doesn't even do interviews. Plus they wouldn't be suited. I think Adam was a good person to duet it with, the choice of Queen song just needed to be better. They needed something sensational not just 'sweet'.

Posted by: Qween 10th December 2016, 11:45 PM

I think every song choice tonight (and seemingly tomorrow too) has been 100% designed to guarantee a Matt win. They gave her a big Queen song, but not one which would further enhance her status and push her further ahead in the odds (especially following Nicole and Matt and being utterly overshadowed by it) and then picking It's Oh So Quiet, whilst justified, as her song of the series when CLEARLY it isn't the most suitable choice. I mean, I can't complain too much as to imagine her coming second at the start, or even 3 weeks ago, would have been fabulous, but it's VERY clear they want Matt to win.

Posted by: gooddelta 10th December 2016, 11:46 PM

Argh, I'm dying for Saara to win because I'm not even sure if we'll ever get a single from her at all if she doesn't, let alone an album.

Matt will be signed and be a reasonable success regardless.

I've always thought it was Matt's to lose since day 1 however so it wouldn't exactly be a surprise. He fell into the bottom two last week because his performances were pretty lacklustre by his usual standards but he's stepped up for the final for sure.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th December 2016, 01:19 AM

Sarra going through is just brilliant, she has been my favourite since the first live show. I agree, Matt will get a recording deal and probably do well regardless. Saara needs to win to get a chart single and at least one album.

So thrilled for Sarra though as she has done so well.

Well I've caught up on tonight's show and whilst I loved Saara, those were not the song choices she needed at this stage, and it's Oh So Quiet certainly isn't. It's baffling that they'd even consider it considering the absolute rave reviews her recent performances have deservedly received.

BH was every bit as disjointed as I feared. It just doesn't work shortened like that.

That said, I can't wait to see her performances just to see what she can pull out of the bag.

Decided to watch Part 1 of the Final. I don't think I've seen a Singing Competition in about 10 years.

Saara looks like someone that I could get behind. Everybody Wants to Rule the World was the best performance of the night by far. I would put Bohemian Rhapsody as a tie for #2 with the Matt/Nicole duet for sure. Judging by some of the comments here, it sounds like she has had better performances? Care to share which ones?

Matt is the winner. I can see that from a mile away. He won't make much of an impact tho. Saara should win in my mind. Take Me Home was the 2nd worst performance of the night in my mind. Does this dude have a personality? I couldn't see it in this performance. Purple Rain was awesome, tied for #2 (and perhaps edges out Saara's performance), but let's be honest, Nicole carried him there.

5 After Midnight. Hmm. Does anyone notice only 2 of them can sing and 1 of the guys that can sing, can't dance - what a mess. I did like Crazy In Love - but, let's be honest.. it's not the most vocally challenging song. Tears was the worst performance of the night. Right artist went tonight as far as I can tell.

I'd back Saara to win, but Matt looks like your standard winner to me.

Posted by: Envoirment 11th December 2016, 04:53 AM

I think Sara's song choice for tomorrow is brilliant. Her performance of "Chandelier" isn't that great imo and "The Winner Takes It All" could be a bit of a dud at Wembley. "It's Oh So Quiet" was an absolutely brilliant performance (my fav of hers) and they can make the production much bigger for the final and think it could have a big impact!


Posted by: Qween 11th December 2016, 08:58 AM

Without getting too LOONY, what exactly is 'not so great' about her Chandelier? She has perfect vocal control and brought so much depth and emotion to it. It's pretty much a textbook example of how to ''make the song your own''.

Posted by: Conderella 11th December 2016, 09:01 AM

I still firmly believe Saara is winning regardless of the song choices. She surely won the last couple of weeks and is going all the way.

Posted by: Qween 11th December 2016, 09:07 AM

I think she's far too reliant on 'wow' performances (which she has given the past 2 weeks) and it's not really been long enough to have a big enough core of fans behind her to be able to still win in the face of Matt having such an obvious ''moment'' last night.

Posted by: P@ul 11th December 2016, 09:57 AM

Don't forget as well that 3/4 judges will prob be pushing for a Saara win tonight and the judges really do impact the vote (look at Simon's comments to Matt last week basically putting him in the b2) Although I don't think Matt will get bad comments for Writings on the wall cuz it was very good the first time and I'm not exactly sure if Simon will be happy with Saara's Oh So Quiet after his "moment" comment etc for winner takes it all, it still very much seems like Saara is their desired choice. Simon said on Xtra that before last night, he thought Matt was gonna be third!

Chandelier was made for an arena environment too. It baffles belief that they didn't opt for it.

Posted by: gooddelta 11th December 2016, 10:40 AM

I'd have preferred The Winner Takes It All personally.

Chandelier was incredible but we've seen it at the audition, last week and in last night's VT in Finland, it hardly needs another airing. Granted it would have been the third airing for The Winner Takes It All as well but it would have fit the 'end of show' theme perfectly lyrically and in terms of impact.

I do agree that It's Oh So Quiet is a slightly odd choice though.

Posted by: COMM 11th December 2016, 12:32 PM

Also "Please Welcome to the stage" made me think of that iconic Taylor Swift pisstake.

I feel like Nicole won this for Matt sadly but I enjoyed the messy "so straight, he's so damn straight" narrative.

Saara would be my favorite winner of all time.

Also Union J ended up putting Skyscraper on their debut album.

For me, her best performances are Chandelier at the semi final, The Winner Takes It All from the quarter finals and Enough is Enough from Disco Week (she served absolutely insane vocals with punchy choreo on this one and I was living for it).

Posted by: Ryan. 11th December 2016, 04:13 PM

Saara's had four key performances and all show different sides to her:

It's Oh So Quiet - first public vote success, embracing her quirkiness, a show number, public finally begin to warm to Saara
No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) - uptempo dance number with her quirkiness toned down, fantastic choreography, her last chance to avoid elimination (a fourth sing-off in week 6 would've been bye bye)
The Winner Takes It All - first sighting of the piano, first proper big ballad, amazing camera shot of audience, the MOMENT of the series
Chandelier - utterly epic, more emotion than ever before, amazing cinematography with staging

heart.gif

Posted by: Liаm 11th December 2016, 05:06 PM

They're definitely my top 4 of hers, It's Oh So Quiet would be my least fave of the 4 but I think she probably just enjoyed that one the most, so fair enough I guess laugh.gif

I did read somewhere that the new era is going to launch early 2016, I think they deliberately dedicated Q4 of this year to Louisa to get maximum impact for So Good.

Saara is probably third for me in terms of who I've felt most emotionally invested in, behind Little Mix & Leona.

Posted by: Mateja 11th December 2016, 07:06 PM

I must be one of the few that can't warm up to Saara at all. She is a competent singer and performer, but I just can't bring myself to care for her in any way at all.

Perhaps I wrote her off completely at her 6 Chair Challenge disaster or after a few unfortunate VTs that made her come across really fake.

That said, I did feel sorry for her when she was in the bottom 2 in the first few weeks of the live shows. She was too good to be on the chopping block that early. However, once she made it on tour (TOP 8), I started hoping she would go home soon.
