The first week's theme for the live show is #1s and one of the guests is.... PHARRELL :manson: :nocheer:

 

I bet someone sings Happy as well... I like that it's a vague theme to start off with though so everyone can find their feet on the live stage.

I also bet someone sings a song that wasn't a #1 single anywhere in the world but they'll get away with it because it was a big hit.

 

Pharrell :cheer: slaying your non-top 40 faves since April 2013, I hope Happy gets a big boost, let's not underestimate how many people live under rocks

Or the good old "it was #1 in New Zealand/Slovakia/Outer Mongolia" :lol:

The broad themes are always good though, especially early on. It allows people to sing to their strengths. Sometimes the themes can be too dense, and when you're on rotation picking songs, if you're left with a niche theme and all the good ones that suit you have gone, you're a bit stuck really.

I've always hated disco week. NONE of the contestants afterwards are ever going to release disco in any series :lol: Rock and dance are ok but there's always a couple who just sing a piano version and get away with it becsuse the song fits the genre in its original arrangement. The Australian version is good for themes, for example this year they have only had rock week and the others have been wide like judges challenge (the mentors pick a song for acts that is someone else's rather than their own), Legends, top 10 hits, latest and greatest etc.

If they go with girlbands week which people think they will, I bet they will go with songs they have covered like Word Up and Just Can't Get Enough, with the latter doing the "ballid" version that they used on an advert earlier this year.

ie, Union J singing Love Story :lol:

That got to #1 in Australia :P

It was 'Listen' that was performed even though it wasn't a number one anywhere at all, wasn't it?

That got to #1 in Australia :P

 

but wasn't the theme that week UK number 1s? But then again they had Louis as a mentor and he probably hasn't looked at any number 1's other than Westlife's :lol:

I think when they say #1s they mean #1s from around the world, like Kye Sones sang You Get Wnat You Give in 2012 and that was just #1 in New Zealand or somewhere minor :lol: but Listen I can't fathom, it was #1 in someone's personal chart I'm sure :kink:

'What About Us' to be performed.

 

Thanks.

the excuse this year will probably be 'but it was #1 for half an hour on [insert obscure country where it takes about 5 sales to get to #1] iTunes!!!!1'

 

as well as disco can we not have big band week ok? or halloween week seeing as the choice is so limited and we always get a few non-theme songs from that anyway?

Mel B has followed Jake, Andrea and Paul on Twitter. Cheryl has followed Stephanie Nala.

 

Read into that what you will...

All Fired Up being performed then *.*

It's heavily rumoured Ben, Jay and Fleur are the top 3 overs based on a tweet that was posted on Digital Spy that I can't find at the moment! :kink:

> implying the UK is an obscure country

...Steph Nala, really?

...Steph Nala, really?

 

We haven't seen much of her but I do think she has big potential and I like her voice.

I really don't know who I would go for though.

 

Maybe Lauren, Kerrianne and Stéphanie would be my top3.

Although I loved Chloe too, but she seems to get a lot of hate and I don't want her to turn into a Katie Wassel , she and Cheryl don't deserve that.

Lola isn't bad either, but she's a bit bland so far.

Oh and Emilie is cute but vocally I'm not impressed and she's only 15.

Jake screams trie hard. He has big muscle but he sounds way to desperate and he's getting on my nerves. He should stick to shows like Geordie Shore or stuff like that.

 

I would be gutted to see Jack rejected over Jake and Paul. :cry: He's such a nice boy and I like his stage presence and voice.

I'd go for Kerrianne for sure.

Andreas needs to go through above all of those boys, praying he does!!!
