The thought of 5am "singing" that is giving me convulsions.

 

And yes I'm annoyed at no Little Mix, I thought someone at least would have done a formulaic karaoke perf of Secret Love Song :lol:

 

Cue the group performance of Shout Out to My Ex on Sunday I guess?

Yeah, I'm surprised at no SLS, although I'm happy about it :lol: - just coz we spoke about this a couple of weeks ago, I'm yet to see one good performance of it that isn't Little Mix :lol: (I didn't like the XF Aus perf either :( )

 

Coincidentally my overall fave this year, Matt, destroyed it (and not in the positive way)!

Wham (duo), Kriss Kross (duo), The Beatles (who actually considers The Beatles a boyband?!), a Pretenders song disguised as GA because they released a cover of it?! Why do they even have these themes smh. Where are the actual boy- and girlbands like BSB, NSYNC, DC, Little Mix and PCD?!

I think to me the connatations are more how they are marketed and the sort of the music they release, I'd class Wham as a boyband but not Kriss Kross. The Beatles aren't a boyband for sure :lol: I mean I know it's a bit boring to be really strict with themes but it defeats the point of having a theme if they're going to shit on it every time! It's disappointing because it could be such a good theme with some underrated songs getting to shine but it's the same few or ones that barely suit an act anyway :lol:

If I had picked;

 

Emily - About You Now

Honey G - No Scrubs

Sam - I Hate This Part

Ryan - Night Changes

5am - How Ya Doin

Saara - Secret Love Song

4 Of Diamonds - Somebody To You

Matt - You Got It All

 

That's after a quick 5 minute think mind you

Good choices Jack, I'd have gone...

 

Emily - Night Changes

Honey G - Push It

Sam - Call The Shots

Ryan - Story Of My Life

5am - Sound of the Underground

Saara - Secret Love Song

4 Of Diamonds - Overload

Matt - Girlfriend (He has the falsetto for the JT parts)

No Little Mix is a complete shock, they have the hits and are huge and also they are from X Factor so i am totally surprised by this. I am also surprised Louis hasnt given Flying Without Wings to one of his acts as that is the only Westlife song he could try and sneak in.

 

Having Nicole on the panel i would have thought a Pussycat Dolls would have made the list, but again no and technically Girls Aloud are not on the list as essentially it is a Pretenders song. As others have said, the theme had huge potential but they have destroyed the theme, the list is endless but if had any sense and thought about their age demographic for the show they have made a complete mess of the song choices.

 

It would have been wonderful (maybe my own bias) to have had songs by Spice Girls, Take That, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Pussycat Dolls, Backstreet Boys, N Sync, Little Mix and only 1 is on the list, all these acts are or were huge names that made an impact.

Have you seen Saara's song?

Give Honey G something which isn't rap for a change. I'd love to see how she'll do in the bottom two on Sunday if de ends up there :D

My apologies i over looked Sound of the Underground.

I hope they do Higher as the group performance so Honey G can do the Flo Rida rap.

I imagine the group performance will be Hair or something like that. Sam should have attempted Untouched by The Veronicas

Yeah I'm thinking a group performance of a Little Mix song on Sunday, although I was gonna suggest Black Magic!

The group performances don't correlate with the themes though, do they? Wasn't it 'Cake By The Ocean' last week? Well, the jury is still out on that horror

Sam should've done All The Things She Said if they wanted to keep up her "rocky" side, and the lack of long notes would mean she wouldn't be able to fall out of tune every few seconds.

That's true I guess! Although I can still see them taking this opportunity to sing Little Mix :lol:

Lowkey wanted 4OD to perform Work from Home

No, thank you. I don't want to see Queen G in the bottom 3 or 2. -_-

Does anyone know if we'll have bottom 3 or bottom 2 tomorrow? :angel:

 

I'm glad she's getting a little chance to showcase her big vocals judging by this rehearsal, more so than she did in Bad Romance anyway. I just worry if the song itself is a vote-grabber, I think she can quite easily finish 6th in the vote (unless she's on during Strictly/gets horrible production) ahead of 4oD and Ryan - but if the lifeline vote is STILL around then she'd have to leap above a Sam or a 5AM and that could be tricky.

Saara seems to be singing No More Tears (Enough Is Enough). I don't know the song off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'll recognise it. I just hope there's a chance to show off big vocals in the song!
