Simon CowellTVX FactorSimon Cowell has confirmed reports that all of the X Factor finalists have a different winner's single.

 

In previous years, the acts have recorded different versions of the same song.

 

However, Cowell confirmed at today's press conference that each finalist has been given a song which is "geared" to them.

 

Cowell also revealed that he believes the race for Christmas number one has become more "exciting" since Rage Against The Machine took the top spot last year.

 

wHAT THEYshould have done here is release all four singles and then let the top 4 be decided on the basis of the sales of the singles.

 

I think Rebecca and Christina could well steal the show if they sing Beautiful or Hurt, One Direction have no chance now- Robbie's a great artist, but he's been on the show before, plus the other acts would appeal to young regular voters- Matt and Rihanna could be interesting, Cher and Will.i.am could be good too

 

 

I think what ever order they finish in, they will all get somewhere in music :)

Just read the EPG on my digibox and it says for Saturday:

"Rihanna and Christina Aguilera perform live"

and for Sunday:

"Take That perform live"

I know Rihanna will perform What's My Name? and Xtina will sing something from Burlesque (probably Express, as it's the US single to the help the album/movie), but what will TT sing? They haven't announced a new single as far as I know!

Take That are on the gillionth time...surprise, surprise. They were always going to struggle to top Sir Paul though.

 

LOL at everyone thinking One Direction have no chance with their duetee. Yeah...as opposed to some washed-up popstar who flopped so hard with their latest album yeah...

I really hope Rebecca and

X-Tina

are AMAZING!! Rebecca has gone up to 2nd in the betting and 1D dwon to 3rd. I've always had a sneaky feeling someone would do an Alexandra Burke (JLS were fave to win the week of the final, then Alex and Beyonce were incredible and she won!) I would love for Rebecca or Matt to win.

 

Imagine if 1D won? It would be a disgrace that Matt, Rebecca, (maybe) Cher, Katie, Aiden, Paije, TreyC, Mary amd John were all better singers and 1D won. And i REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hate Zayn! He sings all these ''ohhh's and ''aaaahh's and he sings them as if he thinks he is AMAZING(whcih he isin't)

 

Soooooooooo, Basically, i want Rebecca to win! 0x

really looking forward to the final this year

FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

 

SPOILER TAGS, USE THEM

 

Anyone not using them will have their warning level increased by 10% as i have said on at least 3 previous occasions.

I'd assume Cher will do 'Check It Out', seems the most obvious choice although something by the BEPs isn't out of the question either. Rebecca is probably most likely to do 'Hurt' I'd imagine ... suppose 'Beautiful', 'The Voice Within' or even 'You Lost Me' would be decent choices too ... don't have a clue about Matt. Really gutted at who he's got, but heyho, she'll outshine him anyway.

Silas is gonna go ape$h!t at Jack.

I don't even know why i bother

I am going to predict which songs they will do:

 

 

Matt & Rihanna - Russian Roulette

Rebecca & Christina - Hurt

Cher & Will.i.am - Check It Out

One Direction & Robbie Williams - Shame

 

Well, they say that now but it's subject to change depending who is bottom on Saturday no doubt.

Nope. They have the final 4 they wanted, pretty much from the start now. All 4 will bring in viewers for their own reasons now. I still think they did a smart thing by making Cher get to the final (even if it was unfair - although it was never confirmed that there wouldn't be a bottom 2, so it's not illegal or anything for them to do so) - she'll bring in the most viewers now I reckon. Whether people love her or hate her, they usually can't wait to see what performance she does.

 

Yeah, it's not like

Robbie got Olly Murs 2nd place lol.

I hate Buzzjack.

How do you know?

Michael Buble is just as big as Robbie, if not bigger last era. People just assumed that it was because of Robbie, because they don't like Michael Buble's sort of music, personally.

 

 

Really looking forward to Saturday night. Not so much Sunday, but the performers on Saturday look better than Sunday's main headliners :zzz:

Would be funny if Matt came 4th!

 

One Direction & Robbie Williams - Shame

That would be the most cringeworthy television ever. :mellow:

On Saturday, Dermot's exact words were "The vote is now open, and will close in tomorrow night's result show. Now it's all in your hands. It's your votes and your votes alone that can get your act safely through to the final."

 

Cant wait for

Matt and Rihanna's

performance. :D

Seriously, can you guys use spoilers. I know what the duets are but even I'm getting annoyed that people keep posting without spoilers. -_-

sorry forgot spoilers!

I think:

 

Matt & Rihanna - Russian Roulette

Rebecca & Christina - Hurt or Beautiful

Cher & Will.I.AM - Check It Out

One Direction & Robbie - Rock DJ, Let Me Entertain You or a horde of other songs

 

I really think the duets could change it all tbh.

One Direction could even come 4th thanks to their horrible duet choice!!!! Rebecca has a really good chance of winning I think!!!

 

Ooh yes

Russian Roulette

would be PERFECT for

Matt/RiRi

<3.
