The last time anyone sang it was 2007 (Same Difference) :lol: It has been sung by someone in all three seasons of the US version because the final theme was always Christmas!

 

 

Huh, you're right. Why do I have it in my head that it gets performed every year? I could SWEAR I remember it being performed a couple of times and I didn't even watch the 2007 series. Maybe I'm thinking of Strictly Come Dancing or something.

 

In any case I would be surprised if the XF performance does much for it.

Agreed, it's not like there's going to be anyone watching X Factor who hadn't heard it before and then decides to buy it.

'Uptown Funk' really is going to be humongous isn't it?

 

Has anyone ever done a rendition of a soon to be released single before?

 

(From memory I think somebody did 'Cooler Than Me' in 2010?)

I remember that Diva duo/group doing 'Barbara Streisand' on the weekend in which it was due to chart, but i can't think of them ever doing a song this premature to its release :o

Someone (possibly 2 people?) sang 'Clown' on XF when it was still an album track. Not really the same thing but that's the only example I can think of of a future hit being performed on the show.

Well it wasn't a single, but I think Daniel did "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" by Whitney before the album was released.

 

Great to see Leona climb so much today! Hope it continues to climb today/tomorrow, especially with Christmas parties happening. Love to see it chart in the top 100 officially this sunday. ^_^

They may as well bring the release of Uptown Funk to this or next Sunday, clearly gonna be a huge hit.

 

Oliver Heldens top 100 on pre-orders :wub: I hope it can go top 5!

I'd rather they keep it as it is, nothing worse than having a broken run at #1 if it happens, 1-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 :D

 

8 weeks at #1 seems slightly optimistic :lol:

 

could see it doing a Rather Be though

Nothing worse? Is it really that bad if it were to happen?

No.

 

January so it can be number one for consecutive weeks and not a one week wonder at the top spot.

I think

Uptown Funk

is a really imaginative choice of X Factor standards. The pre-order will surely fly up after

Fleur's

performance.

Well, technically every winner's single fits that description (and the group charity singles they used to do too).

 

I think it was Cher Lloyd who performed Cooler Than Me and Jedward who performed Barbra Streisand? I remember the latter since Simon Cowell said he thought it would get to #1 despite the fact that Joe McElderry had his lead single out the same week! :o I was a bit surprised he said that about his own artist on the show that he won (even if it was obvious he wasn't getting #1).

 

I remember someone performing an album track from an un-released album before, I think it might have been a Whitney Houston album? I think the X Factor performance could've even been its world premiere.

Wasn't 'Turn My Swag On' not yet released when Cher Lloyd sang it at her audition?
It was Diva Fever who performed 'Barbra Streisand', in 2010, so the winner would've been Matt Cardle, as well. :P I think both the Soulja Boy and Keri Hilson 'Turn My Swag On' versions were on iTunes already, but just were generally unheard of by the British public so impacted, as opposed to having an upcoming release date. The Alexa Goddard version benefited the most anyway chart-wise, and that wasn't released until a good couple of months after!

The proper Keri Hilson version of 'Turn My Swag On' wasn't available (I think it still isn't unless it was quietly added at some point?), the version that charted was a bootleg version by Greg Street (which used Keri's vocals and credited her as a featured artist along with Soulja Boy).

 

The original Soulja Boy version also charted a bit lower down.

Maybe she could release it as her winners track, but I doubt that will happen, I'm sure Simon will have something else up his sleeve.
