I WOULD look forward to a rock week, were it not for the fact that Simon Cowell's idea of rock comprises of Kelly Clarkson and Busted.

Thing is you're actually right. :( It wouldn't surprise me at all if One Direction where to sing 'Year 3000' :(

 

I wanted songs from 2010 as a theme :(

 

That would at least show they could all do upt to date songs!

 

Girls Aloud week. :magic:

Imgaine Wanger doing Love Machine :lol:

*Accidentally hits delete* :kink:

Before we get into GA, surely a MADONNA week is LONG overdue. I hear Tesco Mary does a DIVINE Erotica.

They shouldnt have theme weeks.

AMEN!!!! I think they should just sing whatever they want each week tbh... Every time there's a theme, some people have a huge advantage and some have a huge disadvantage

Haven't we already had a week dedicated to the whores? Despite being joke of the industry with their 80000th line up and general $h!tness now that Keisha is gone, a Sugababes week is long overdue. Some of the best British pop songs of the last decade came from them.

Every time there's a theme, some people have a huge advantage and some have a huge disadvantage

 

This is so. Mary is STUFFED with rock week.

Yeah :( I don't mind her but she is becoming boring, although she can't go before Wagner. She could sing some kind power ballad maybe, there has to be some classed as rock. I think Cher might struggle to with Rock week :( Luckily, I can think of a few for Queen Becca, I think she'll be fine!

I disagreeeeee. I can so so so so so see Mary belting out a Heart track, 'Barracuda' or 'Alone'. Bet Louis gives her damn Bonnie Tyler however.

Oh you just know One Direction are going to get Busted or something of that ilk, and Mary's going to get Bonnie Tyler :(

For me, what I would choose & my predictions:

 

Mary Byrne: Should sing // Heart - Barracuda/Alone = Predict: Bonnie Tyler - Hero

 

Matt Cardle: Should sing // Aerosmith - Cryin' = Predict: Snow Patrol - Run

 

Rebecca Ferguson: Should sing // ?? = Predict: ?? [i think she's fucked here. She's not been versatile at all, therefore, I can't think of any rock songs that she could sing.

 

Cher Lloyd: Should sing // Run-D.M.C. ft. Steven Tyler - Walk This Way // Predict: Girls Aloud vs. Sugababes - Walk This Way :lol:

 

One Direction: Should sing // Queen - Somebody to Love [X-Factor arse-rapes this!] // Predict: Busted - Year 3000

 

Wagner: Should sing // Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven // Predict: Meat Loaf - I Would Do Anything For Love [another Meat Loaf one!]

 

Katie Waissel: Should sing // Rod Stewart - Sailing // Predict: Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 [would also be a good choice!]

 

 

It's going to be a shitty night, let's be fair.

 

EDIT: Actually I could see Rebecca doing the Hendrix version of 'All Along The Watchtower' (Dylans original is a lot more folk-sounding, which would go gorgeous with her voice however), but to show versatility, she should go for the first option.

I think Mary could cope. I can imagine her singing 'Amazed' by Lonestar as a ballad (yeah, it's country, but this is X Factor themes)

 

Worst off would be 1D (if they had any kind of harder rock song, not pop-rock lite), Rebecca possibly (though I think she could pull it off, it's Cheryl's choices that may be making her boring), Wagner (obvs) and Katie COULD sound crap on a ballad though I reckon she could very easily pull it off. And if Matt growls again I will probably :puke:

 

Speaking of Katie, I'd never seen this before, but I don't think she comes across as fake or a bitch in this video. Arrogant maybe, but not too much (I'd say more self-assured), and apart from that, likeable IMO.

Next weeks theme is

Rock Week!

(sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't see by skimming through the thread. Who can sing what? I think Matt would be good with something by

Muse or Florence & The Machine

and maybe Rebecca could do

Sweet Child O' Mine? Would be a change for her and will suit her. Or maybe Bring Me To Life by Evanessence?

as for Cher,

Miss Nothing or Make Me Wanna Die by Pretty Reckless might be good

I have a feeling Rebecca may get to do this version of 'Sweet Child of Mine'...

 

 

:(

 

'Walk This Way' is inevitable for Cher though :( - Really hope it's something different though. Does this also mean, Matt's going to do that awful voice again and sink further down the popularity stakes?

I wanted boybands as a theme.

Have heared so far it's rock week / teen heroes hmmm unless one song is rock and one is teen heroes cause surely they cant sing two rock song's would be abit boring

 

anyone else seen any other rumor's?? cause we know there singing two song's each can't see them both being rock song's

Edited November 23, 201014 yr by Brooke_x

Mary should do Proud Mary.

One Direction will obviously get some pop-rock. I can't see them attempting actual rock somehow...

There doing two songs each though aren't they so will there be two themes?

Yeah 2 song's each and have heared rock song / teen heroes so far dont know if it's just rumor's

Mary Byrne –

All I Want Is You by U2

 

 

APPARENTLY she confirmed this on an Irish Radio station.
