It's almost that time of year again. What do you guys think would be a good choice of winners' single. I'd personally think James Arthur could do Wires very well. If Jahemene wins maybe I Can't Make You Love Me.

 

These are just suggestions nothing is confirmed at the moment!

I've heard it's Skyscraper (Demi Lovato)...

^ Yeah I'm really hoping it is (though I don't really want Christopher murdering my 3rd favourite song of 2011). I think there's a fair chance, it keeps being played, Demi has a connection to the show and it's only been a minor hit, it fits.

 

From the list though I wouldn't mind "I Won't Give Up".

Please let it not be Skyscraper, incredible song but no-one could sing and connect to it anywhere near as well as Demi.

Thinking of the lyrics at the top of my head, not sure how Read All About It (Part III) would reflect the winner's journey on the X Factor, like previous winner songs have done. Same goes for I Can't Make You Love Me actually.

 

I really hope it isn't Skyscrapper or I Won't Give Up - can't stand the originals, so if Chris wins and covers them...

It has to be Wires! :wub:

 

So I voted for it. :D

I haven't *knowingly* heard Athlete's Wires (aside Rylan singing it, but I couldn't really recall the song from that), so I'll have a listen later.

Dear lord. Anyything but RAAI (making it Part VII or something). Professor Green did it best :wub:, so we don't need James Arthur trying to imitate that :drama:

THIS.

 

I wouldn't even want Ella singing Skyscraper let alone Christopher, or especially Jahmene screaming all over it. If it's the winner's single and either of those two win, I won't be able to listen to it. It was my 2nd favourite song of 2011 and I'm not having it butchered.

I am pretty sure if it is a cover it will be Skyscraper, hopefully it will be an original song for each of the finalists like they did on the Aussie version.

I liked the idea where the contestants chose their own singles, is that not happening this year? I know it didn't happen last year so probably won't.

 

Out of those...erm, I Cant Make You Love Me and if not that I Wont Give Up.

There should be a 7th option for Christopher Maloney

 

"There's No One Quite Like Grandma"

 

 

 

Why can't someone write an original song for them for once? These crappy covers are so tiresome now.

I've never understood the decision to do covers, surely it costs Syco more in having to pay out royalties to the original singers and songwriters?

 

Surprised the song (or songs) hasn't leaked yet as I thought once they make the final 5, each act records the song and makes the would be video.

I'd like an upbeat song for once, not the same old ballad which progresses throughout the song the same way as all the winner's singles.

Sound of The Underground has literally been the only great winners single. Hell, even Fame Academy let the Winners do their own singles.

It's probably the only upbeat one too. They should definitely start doing upbeat songs, even if they have to be covers (although of course original songs are much more welcome).

Where's Niggas in Paris? I wanna be Christopher signing that shit when he wins.

Or possible Rack City?

There's an article on DS which details the charity that will receive the profits, and it says the finalists will perform 'their respective winner's singles', hopefully they're right and there is different ones!
