Surely Don't you want me baby by Human League would have been the perfect song for Only the young. I have an 9 year old God-daughter who loves it and I cant resist singing along to it.

I think Chloe Jasmine will sing this verison of "Call Me"

 

Edited by BrookeOlivia

'Call Me'! :wub: Perfect time to remind ourselves of one of the best X Factor performances of all-time! It was this performance that cemented Diana as my favourite X Factor contestant ever at the time (and still is now of course!)

I was going to post this, easily one of my favourite performances ever from the show :wub:

I hope Jake will do some kind of acousticy version of Total Eclipse or he will probably be a goner

I think Simon wants Jake out, he sees him as competition to Ben as the 2 pretty boys and having Jake as the last act to be told they were through (even though he may well have finished high up in the votes) gives people the impression he is struggling.

 

I think Mel's other 3 boys are so safe right now that unless Jake goes Mel could end up with her 4 left with only 8 or 9 left in the competition.

 

I expect dodgy staging, an odd version of that song and bad comments from Simon this weekend for Jake.

Jake will stay in, like Simon says, as long as the "girls" continue voting for him.

Stevi Ritchie

Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley)

(I'm Gonnna Be) 500 Miles?! A (horrifically shit) group sang that on Aussie XF a couple of weeks ago and it was possibly among the worst performances I have ever seen, what an awful song choice :lol: Call Me isn't right for Steph either and Imagine is hugely cliched for Lola... I love the choices for Lauren and Chloe though!

 

 

Also, before they go all "OMG SO TOTALLY ORIGINAL TWIST!1!1!1!" over Jack Walton acoustic-ifying Straight Up, I guarantee it will just be the Danny Gokey version from American Idol in 2009.

Stevi doing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'? Haha oh lord...
Call me could work for Steph, it won't be a spectacular performance but it could save her!
Andrea singing 'One Moment In Time'? So predictable! Christopher Maloney Part 2 tbh.
Andrea's song choice is going to wind me up no end (mainly coz we know what the comments will be already and they really shouldn't be!). Him for the Week 6 (?) shock exit please! :nocheer:

Disappointed by Lola's song choice, she really needs something upbeat. Not expecting anything great from Jake or Jay with those choices either. Be very interesting to see if Ben can pull off Jealous Guy given how Aiden royally screwed it back up in series 7. And Stereo Kicks are gonna be awful with that no doubt.

 

Ones I'm looking forward to are Steph (of course), Only The Young & Stevi (just for the sheer cringe factor).

Interesting that 'Call Me' has been swapped from Chloe to Stephanie! 'Call Me' has worked perfectly for a quirky voice before (Diana! :wub:) so maybe it'll work for Stephanie too.

 

Horribly predictable choice for Andrea and I can see people getting fed up of his song choices very soon if they carry on like this, rather than the more inspired choice of 'Earth Song'.

 

Jay's song seems a very strange choice and I can also see Jake being in trouble with his song choice.

Diana's Call Me was one of the most iconic performances of that years series in my opinion; there is no way Steph is going to pull it off as she doesn't have the voice in my opinion.

I think Diana has a bigger and more dynamic voice than Stephanie even if they have the same kind of quirky tone... I'm still really unsure about it but I guess we don't know, we'll have to wait and see if it works or is a mess!
