December 7, 20168 yr Will probably be Saara's flop Eurovision entry, No Fear. That wasn't even a Eurovision entry! It finished second in the Finnish national selection.
December 7, 20168 yr To be fair I imagine X Factor could use Eurovision Classic very loosely and everyone has been asking her to perform No Fear, and it was also part of her homecoming set. I think her song will be either No Fear or Rise Like a Phoenix.
December 7, 20168 yr According to Dan Wooton at the Sun, The Spice Girls were supposed to duet with 5am, but have dropped out and will be replaced by Clean Bandit and Louisa to perform Tears. Nicole is duetting with Matt and Saara is doing Bohemian Rhapsody with Adam Lambert.
December 7, 20168 yr To be fair I imagine X Factor could use Eurovision Classic very loosely and everyone has been asking her to perform No Fear, and it was also part of her homecoming set. I think her song will be either No Fear or Rise Like a Phoenix. It makes a huge difference to her chances whether she sings a failed song nobody knows or one of the most anthemic, feel good Eurovision winning songs. But I can't see how they'd have the nerve to call No Fear a Eurovision classic.
December 7, 20168 yr Saara is doing Bohemian Rhapsody with Adam Lambert. Oh. I really wanted Who Wants To Live Forever. Bo-Rhap has the potential to be a mess.
December 7, 20168 yr Author Bohemian Rhapsody :mellow: oh dear, praying these rumours are false! :lol: Seems to be loads of rumours going round at the moment, Harry Styles has been linked to Matt after a planned Sam Smith duet fell through.
December 8, 20168 yr Sam Smith is upset he won't be the first "openly gay" person to perform on the X Factor.
December 8, 20168 yr Saara will be performing a Eurovision classic (!) that "all of her European fans wanted". This could go one of two ways, Rise Like a Phoenix was rumoured a couple of days ago which would fit but be strangely inspired. The other is that Saara said two of her dreams are coming true at the weekend - could it be that her dream is to perform an original? She performed No Fear in Helsinki on Monday, preparing it for Saturday perhaps? Not sure this is the best plan for her victory chances, but Rise Like a Phoenix is a proven vote grabber - it wasn't just Conchita herself even if she played a big part in its success. Did you check for a source for this? All I can find is a poster called Hannah who posted it on Digital Spy and TIBB. Until shown otherwise I call bullsh1t.
December 8, 20168 yr Author Sam Smith is upset he won't be the first "openly gay" person to perform on the X Factor. :D!
December 8, 20168 yr I just got it from Sofabet commenters who linked to DS but I see everyone is doubting it now! Regarding Bohemian Rhapsody, if anyone can pull it off it is Adam and Saara. People won't care less about Louisa and 5AM although Matt and Nicole would be good. I think Saara and Adam can appeal to a different demographic (the Sam Bailey demographic) if they can pull it off. We seem to be getting lots of sudden changes to "confirmed" reports though so I'' waiting until tomorrow evening when they usually do the Facebook teasers. On various occasions we've thought Saara's song choices were worrying and each time she's pulled it off, I have no doubt she'll do the same with Bohemian Rhapsody if it turns out to be the case.
December 8, 20168 yr True, we shouldn't really worry so much about Saara. She triumphs with everything, except maybe Sound of the Underground but even that was down to the production iirc. Edited December 8, 20168 yr by Charlie345
December 8, 20168 yr I have major doubts about Bohemian Rhapsody as a good song choice for a duet. It's an iconic song, but the songs structure is a mess. And from what I know, even the original band never performed it live completely. Who Wants to Live Forever would be a much better choice.
December 8, 20168 yr Bohemian Rhapsody is one of those songs you just can't really cover :( I really hope it actually is Who Wants To Live Forever!
December 8, 20168 yr Dreading BH especially in the limited song lengths of X Factor... Yeah I mean how much of it will they do and what bits? 3 minutes at the most and probably completely ruin it.
December 8, 20168 yr Matt - Nicole Scherzinger, after Sam Smith & James Arthur turned him down - Song: All I Ask (rumor) Saara - Adam Lambert - Song: Bohemian Rhapsody 5 AM - Louisa Johnson / Clean Bandit, after Spice Girls pulled out - Song: Tears Matt VS Saara. Matt's been my fave since the auditions, but I love an underdog, so Saara winning would be great too.
