THEME: Disco

GUESTS: Olly Murs // Nathan Sykes

Olly Murs at his career low and Nathan f***ing Sykes. Can they not afford stars anymore?! :lol:

NATHAN BLOODY SYKES AGAIN!??

 

HOW HAS HE MANAGED TO GET 2 SOLO SLOTS :mellow:

 

Disco is a better theme this year than it was a couple of years or so ago.

Olly Murs because he is one of the most successful people from the show. Nathan Sykes because Global Radio (Heart and Capital) won't play anything associated with X Factor if they don't.

f***ING DISCO. That will do no favours for Saara, she'll end up coming across like a 40 year old over from 2005 called Louise who is doing it for her kids and her dead dad who filled out the application for her on his deathbed.

 

I will eat my hate if 5am don't end up """""""""""""""singing""""""""""""" Get Lucky. And it hardly matters for Emily as she'll just do a maudlin John Lewis version of a Donna Summer banger. I'd rather club classics, and the rule should be that you have to sing it in a clubby arrangement.

Actually doesn't Rapper's Delight sample Chic? I bet Honey G will do that :lol:

Lol at Capital FM bribing X Factor to have Nathan Sykes do a guest performance yet again :')

 

Can't say I'm pleased with the disco theme as it means they'll only be able to do dated songs (well I guess Get Lucky qualifies too so at least there's that option for a recent song)

I mean I guess you could count songs from this decade like Sugar, Blurred Lines and She Came To Give To You as having disco influences and thus counting under this theme? It's much less tenuous than Michael Jackson as a diva or Kriss Kross as a boyband :lol: That would be a better way to go but I know that as a theme they take disco to mean Donna Summer, Earth Wind & Fire and Jackson 5 so we probably won't get any of those sort of songs except Get Lucky :lol:

I think Emily will actually get 'Get Lucky'! Although I think Ryan could do well with it.

I'd pick;

 

Saara - Get Lucky (Naughty Boy's arrangement)

5 After Midnight - Treasure

Matt - Take Back The Night

Sam - Billie Jean

Emily - Heart Of Glass

Honey G - Ain't Nobody (LL Cool J)

Ryan - Sugar

I quite hate disco week but it did provide the exact moment when I turned from a casual Diana fan into the ultimate Diana fan:

 

 

Maybe Emily will finally have her uptempo moment like Diana had hers after three slow songs in her first three weeks!

Maybe we can stretch the disco theme very far and let Saara perform her very own bollywood disco dancey bop:

 

Last post in quick succession I promise, will Nicole be giving us THIS at the beginning of next week's show:

 

 

(If not I think that could be a good song for Saara)

Does Flashdance What A Feeling class as disco? If so book Emily in for the Drew Ryniewicz/Lauren Platt version right now!

 

(I'm reading Popjustice and keep finding things post-worthy but THIS IS THE LAST ONE)

 

Or maybe the Jasmine Thompson (non-Felix Jaehn remix) version of Ain't Nobody *.*

Giorgio Moroder produced it so I'd say yes, it's not classically disco but especially under X Factor categorisation rules I'd say it was fine :P But Emily would butcher that, her having her uptempo moment would be better but she'll do an Abi Alton this week rather than a Diana I'm sure.

God I LOVED this. Her version of 'With or Without You' is also one of my fave all-time X-Factor performances :wub:

Someone on DS suggested I Feel Love for Saara and I now NEED that to happen. It'd probably end her XF journey but I feel like she'll most probably go next week whatever happens :lol:

Saara cant go yet, she is by far the best on the show. She will never win but deserves a final 5 finish at the extreme least.

I have no recollection of making this thread whatsoever? :unsure:

^ it's been split from the week 5 topic!
