Just had a thought. Robbie with Wrong Direction. He'll look like Gulliver :lol:

I agree ... she'd totally outclass him vocally (mind you ... she'd outclass most anybody). I think Rob should be paired with One Direction ... his voice would sound quite good then.

Edit!!!! In case anyone was thinking I was having a go at Rob ... I mean Rebecca would show up ANYONE! She's my favourite X-F performer ever ... who cares if she doesn't move around the stage? I play a CD to listen to it ... not watch it! Only prob for me is ... although I'd like her to win (although she's going to be mega even if she doesn't win) I can't bear the thought of Biffa Cole being the winning 'mentor' (and I use that term very loosely) for a third year on the trot!

 

I don't like Rebecca but Robbie's singing ability is not to be tested anyway. (it is not easy to outsing Rob, he may be inaccurate at times but he always sings LOUD) I remeber TT dueting a million live songs with Leona (GREAT version), who predictably outsang the 4 four of them. The whole meaning of these duets is to support the finalists not for acknowledged artists to prove themselves.

I don't believe Rebecca has what it takes to become mega anyway but I'd prefer Rob to duet with the lady with a classic. I hope it is not Angels again...

I had expected the rest 4 would be dueting with the other finalist but... I was proven wrong.

Oh god Rebecca is another one of these singers who makes watching paint dry sound incredibly exciting. Technically a great voice but has no other qualities of a star. The public lap up such blandness and her covers album would be huge for mothers day but get, even those who adore bland singers who lack diversity get bored - we have seen this from the huge drop in popularity of the likes of Dido and Norah Jones. And even if we look as Leona who is very similar to Rebecca in terms of lacking star quality and stage presence but has a technically great voice (and certainly can hit far higher notes than Rebecca but doesn't have a better overall tone imo) - she has seen a dramatic decline in popularity everywhere but especially internationally. It takes a hell of a lot more than a technically perfect voice to last in music - doign the exact same thing over and over only passes in the short term. Cowell is the king of short term sucess for acts so he will sign her regardless. But this nonsense is delusional morons like Walsh about her having 'everything' is typical XF fodder of the highest order. I mean can you just imagine a live show with Rebecca? I can and am already nodding off at the thought of it. :lol:

 

Again I will say I hope this is untrue. None of the acts this year will be around in a decade - Matt is my fave but is still on the bland side - at least he can write his own songs and can change things up - it would be best for him to come second though and not sign with Cowell who would ruin his career and turn him into Steve Brookstein the 2nd. :lol:

 

Other rumors now suggest TT will perform with One Direction? I wonder why it hasn't been made official like it was last year?

Edited December 9, 201014 yr by De Niro

It has been confirmed now. He is singing with One Direction :zzz:

 

What is he playing at? I see no need whatsoever for him to bother doing this. He will be on SCD with TT so why is he putting all this pressure on himself and leaving himself open to critisism from clueless folk? What is the point? The only thing I can think of is his management want him to perform a solo set later on Sat or Sunday night to finally promote IAOOC properly and in exchange Simon wanted him to do this? :wacko:

 

I really don't get it at all. Robbie has had very bad luck with performing on the XF last year - and while the YKM performance was very good it is only the negative from the Bodies/Angels performances people remember. He shouldn't bother, especially with such a busy weekend. I mean tonight the Royal Variety is filmed tonight - flying to Dublin for the LLS tomorrow, two performances on SCD Saturday - then performing in front of 20M people on the XF - and than possibly another solo performance on the Sunday? For someone who admits being lazy he certainly is doing a lot of work. :lol:

 

I will be pleased if it means a solo performance on Sunday final to promote IAOOC - but otherwise he shouldn't bother imo. If he wanted to do it so much why are the other four TT lads joining? One Direction are a boyband afterall so the whole thing fails to make sense. As long as Angels isn't sung - they should do Rock DJ.

TT are also appearing

But what will the 5 of them sing then? A medley? They have already sung the Flood! Anyway I am so happy this is happening because I predicted it would from day one. :D :banana: :winner:

I believe it is another poor year for XF anyway. Do we have any clue for the songs then? I gotta feeling Robbie will duet something different this time! I hope it is something special ,I have been good at predictions lately. I think lazy days would be great for the occasion. It could also be she's the one or feel.

Feel is huge but I don't think it is the most suitable song for one direction.. If they sing Come Undone I will kill myself (they won't).

What are your predictions everyone? (don't bet too much money on Shame though :kink: )

Edited December 9, 201014 yr by 7heDreamer

Well him performing with TT again makes no sense. I'm annoyed he is doing the duet in the first place but would have been pleased had it meant he would get to promote IAOOC after 2 months of nothing- a medley or something would have been great. But he is singing with TT again? No doubt Never Forget. That and the Flood are the only two songs they are performing for some reason. They are doing both tonight at the RVS and at the weekend on SCD. And I can't see him singing solo and with TT on the one show. I know they have a lot of time to fill up but that would be silly. Great for sales but I am sure they have others lined up. Eminem and Prince were originally due but no longer it would appear.

 

Ideally TT as five would be doing the duet - on the Sunday Robbie would do a solo meldey and then TT will sing Kidz or SOS (next single whichever it is).

 

Rumors suggestion 'She's The One' will be the duet song. A bad choice imo - Rob hasn't sung it in a very long time plus an upbeat song is needed - Supreme would be great but Rock DJ or Millenium are obvious choice too.

Matt is still sick and can't rehearse properly. I wonder if he's got the same chest infection people at my work have been smitten with. It's lasting weeks and weeks and weeks :blink:

 

Anyway, Robbie and One Dimension. Why????? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

 

They could duet on Teenage Millionaire. Or Karma Killer. :lol:

 

More likely some drippy ballad though -_-

The ignorance is young people online (epsecially on DS) never fails to astound me. By the way people go on one would think he was the male version fo Kerry Katona as oppose to the best selling British solo artist in the history of UK music. :lol: The ignorance of people (most of whom I can only assume are below 15 and would have been too young to have seen Robbie before his long break) who are making out that the other three acts have been given superstars while 1D have been lumped with Robbie who is apparently nowhere as big as the others. It's worrying the sheer volume of ignorant people - I mean firstly Xtina's last album totally bombed and she is hardly relevant - she has also less than half the amount of albums Rob has this decade despite being huge in the US - Will.iam (or however it's written) is more known for the BEP. Rihanna granted is one of the biggest pop stars int he world right now so that is different - still though her big studio album from last year didn't sell much more than RKTVS despite her being huge int he USA. Plus her newer album has sold nowhere near as much as Rob's second GH in the UK. She is more of a singles artist so it's silly to compare them really anyway. The facts are though none of the other three will ever reach the album sales Rob has and will never have a hope in hell of selling 10 million concert tickets in stadiums accross the globe - for people to make out Robbie is the lesser of the stars is exactly the sort of ignorance that the tabloids are largely responsible for with their endless need for throwing facts out the window.

 

I wish he wasn't bothering with this silly duet. He is just leaving himself open for critisism when there is really no need. The only consolation would be if he gets to perform a solo track later on the night or on the Sunday as well as with TT.

Edited December 10, 201014 yr by De Niro

She;s The One seems to defiantly be the song for the duet with Wand Erection- a terrible choice. What had potential to be an upbeat, fun and stomping performance had the correct song been chosen, will now be naff and cringeworthy. Mind you no matter what song is sung it's bound to turn out to be naff. A near 40 year old man singing with a bunch of kids - it's just naff :lol: Besides Rob cannot stand She's The One (mainly because he didn't write it and has to pay Karl whatshisname each time he performs it) and hasn't sung it in a long long time. It all makes no sense and if he doesn't do a solo performance to promote IAOOC for Xmas (even if it's predictable 'Feel') I will not be pleased. Otherwise what exactly is the point? Hell I'm now starting to think the duet with Rebecca would have been better afterall - Something Stupid even though I hate it would have worked well with the two of them. Hell even Rudebox rapped with Cher would have been a better option :rofl:

 

Why are there no big line-up for the Sunday night like last year? We had Macca, George Michael and Robbie. TT are the only act being mentioned. Oh and Wagner. :P Prince and Eminem had been mentioned ages ago but obviously fell through.

Hell I'm now starting to think the duet with Rebecca would have been better afterall - Something Stupid even though I hate it would have worked well with the two of them. Hell even Rudebox rapped with Cher would have been a better option :rofl:

 

To be honest ... I find it embarrassing for Rob that he has landed One Direction to Duet with ... I do think he deserves a bit better. It just goes to show how much Simon is desperate to seal the deal on OD winning. I'm guessing he thinks that a load of Rob fans will vote for them the way he thought TT fans would vote for Leona. But whilst Leona didn't need any help from anyone ... One Direct need all the help they can get. I did honestly think Rob would be duetting with Rebecca. IF he is duetting with One Direction through his own choice ... then I hope the doors slap shut on his face again ... because it'll just show he has no taste!

I agree - he has made a big mistake. And tbh it sends out an odd message - that an upcoming boyband who were manufactured containing people who wanted to be solo artists singing with the most sucessful solo artist to emerge from a boyband. :huh: I can only assume seeing as he gets on very well with Simon that they came to an agreement that he would sing solo after? I can only hope. It say son the front of tomorrow's 'Star' that Simon is fixing the show for 1D to win - I assume this iss due to them having Robbie? Strange that the majority of the kids online think the polar opposite :lol: I think as you say Simon is hoping Robbie and TT fans voting for 1D on top of all the little kids that will do so anyway will lead them to victory? :wacko:

 

I still don't get why something upbeat isn't being sung. Yes I know Simon loves ballads and nothing else but something fun like Rock DJ, LMEY or Supreme would have been a far better option. Even 'Could It Be Magic' :P

Maybe nobody else would duet with Wrong Direction and Simon had to pay Robbie loads of wonga to agree. :unsure:

 

Anyway, I don't think they'll win. With or without Rob. -_-

Oooohhhh I do like Matt's winner's song :w00t:

 

Not sure I want him to win though. He'd do better away from Cowell's record label. <_<

I still don't get why something upbeat isn't being sung. Yes I know Simon loves ballads and nothing else but something fun like Rock DJ, LMEY or Supreme would have been a far better option. Even 'Could It Be Magic' :P

 

I believe she's the one is much more suitable. It is ONE DIRECTION! Can you imagine them singing LMEY or RDj reallly? Could it be magic would be best suited that's true. They all have childish-sweet voices with nothing rock about them, and they are a band... She's the one is 80% sweet (Robbie will possibly sing the rock part) and is vocally ok for them. Also as a rule of thumb winner DO choose balads (to move grannies? :lol: ). I am pretty sure Simon's fav Robbie songs are no regrets, angels and she's the one!

 

It is rumored TT will sing SOS on XF... So this is to be the next single indeed! (the best choice imo as a song; still weird for a christmas single, if they start promoting now they will probably release between Xmas and new year's eve...)

 

Edit: wouldn't kidz be perfect with all this revo in Education, financial&political crisis though? :lol: Gary is disapointing me, he should have thought of that ! :rofl:

Edited December 11, 201014 yr by 7heDreamer

I am delighted with the news they will sing SOS on Sunday. I can't wait to hear this song live. The energy will be fantastic :D

 

Suppose there is still a chance Rob will perform solo tonight after all the contestants perform and perform one is eliminated. I'm not holding my breath considering nothing has been announced. Although it was never announced he was performing You Know Me last year so who knows?

 

I can just imagine She The One tonight now. 1D will sing it up after the first chorus - then Rob will come out starting with "We were young" etc - with 1D singing the 'smiling' and 'flying' parts in a nice boyband style harmony :lol: CRINGE :arrr:

I'd better tune in I tonight then! I don't want to miss this :lol: :lol: :lol:

Perhaps he got a call from his pal Cameron :naughty:

Duets a bit of a let down so far. Rihanna outshone Matt who's voice isn't up to his usual standard. And Xtina swallowed up poor Rebecca with her annoying need to oversing every single word.

 

Rob up now. He better not forget lyrics or miss the que :lol:

Bloody hell that wasn't remotely as bad as I feared it would be :o

 

It was actually quite enjoyable and Rob didn't make mistakes thankfully. It was well thought out and you could really see how honored the lads were to sing with such a superstar. It was amusing when Rob lifted up the blonde kid at the end and the poor child didn't know what was going on :lol:
