To be honest, The XF final last year did hardly anything for the performers, Katy Perry didn't even move and 1D and Gary feat Elton didnt do much on the charts either after. I imagine there is just too much going on over the weekend

In fairness TT are singing it with Fleur, Ben and Andrea apparently which makes more sense.

 

Ohh that definitely makes more sense. I'm sure 1D wouldn't be stupid enough to do Where Do Broken Hearts Go though... :lol:

So we have not 4 but 5 recycled acts for the final, brilliant :lol: Could they really not muster up a couple of new people beyond Meghan? I guess Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith are pretty much the 2 biggest acts of the year to be fair and obviously 1D and Olly are huge too (but a bit CLICHÉ for an XF final by this stage), it just seems extremely anticlimactic for the grand finale to be a bunch of people who had already been on the show just a few weeks earlier

That final line-up is looking fairly uneventful tbh.

 

I'm presuming there'll be three extra guests on Saturday to perform the celebrity duets. I guess Ed could duet with Ben and Meghan with Fleur (but DS suggests she'll perform All About That Bass alone, so I don't think she'll duet with Fleur).

Yeah I'm thinking that, hopefully they've blown the budget on at least Nicki or Rihanna for Fleur and that's why they had to mostly recycle the usual friends of X Factor :lol:

 

But they could still be the duet partners, they just might perform a song that isn't theirs? But I don't think that really ever happens apart from the judges duets.

Unless Mel B is performing with Andrea, that is a performance I love to watch. :lol: an opera version of "Wannabe" :heehee:

 

Usually some mentors perform with their own acts, but in Simon's case he would have to get someone in to perform with Ben & Fleur. Or we are in for a surprise Madonna performing with Fleur :o

With the way the show has been pushing Fleur this year I wouldn't be surprised if Fleur gets Madonna, Mariah and Rihanna as her 3 backing singers, Whilst Ben gets the Cheeky girls and Andrea gets The Tweenies.

Surely there are more artists than the same few recycled on every show. No wonder the album chart is so predictable at this time of year.

Oh lord I hope Digital Spy I are lying, Meghan simply can't ONLY do AATB when Lips Are Movin is the next single/needs the recognition more

Andrea/Tweenies would be the best performance of the series tho

My GOD please let DS be lying or something :puke2:

I was really hoping for Taylor Swift and a Blank Space performance. :(

same :(

I was really hoping for Taylor Swift and a Blank Space performance. :(

So was I :(

It should be:

 

Taylor Swift - Blank Space

Tulisa - Living Without You

Meghan Trainor - Lips Are Movin'

Olly Murs feat. Demi Lovato - Up

One Direction - Night Changes

Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

 

I don't even like all those songs but that line-up would make far more sense & be far more relevant than what we've got. Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith et al need to f- off.

Tulisa is not relevant, and what a surprise for you to belittle Sam and Ed. -_-

 

The final performances are apparently as follows:

 

SATURDAY

Group performance: Take That - Rule the World

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

Ed Sheeran - Photograph

 

SUNDAY

Sam Smith - Stay With Me

One Direction - Where Do Broken Hearts Go? - This isn't as stupid as people are making out tbh; Night Changes is already top ten and WDBHG? is a real crowd pleaser and will sound AMAZING in an arena.

Olly/Demi - Up

Tulisa's going to be on the show but she's not performing - she's taking Mel B's mentoring place as Mel's too ill to appear!

To be honest I don't know why they didn't use Louis or Cheryl to fill in as they don't have any acts in the final. Seems pointless bringing in a late judge into the final.

I wasn't belittling them I was merely implying that they've been far too overexposed as it is this year and have already had slots on the show. Own X Factor alumni I can understand being brought back for the final but not anyone else. Also artists who have new material to promote should always be given preference in my mind (than say someone performing a 6 month old song). At least Ed is performing a yet-to-be-single from his album so fair play for that but Sam? Seriously... :manson:

Still have no idea who the celeb duets are going to be, radio times app said Madonna was rumored for the show but that's the first I heard about it
