I did ponder about the finalists performing with their mentors. I mean all three have a back catalogue of hits, though when I contemplated it, it did strike me as the perfect car crash to end such a wreckage of a series :heehee: I'm guessing that 1D and JLS wouldn't work as duet partners, Coldplay probably only agreed to perform based on the cheque and the fact that they wouldn't be reduced to such disgraceful antics and Westlife and Buble have been tried and tested (and awfully dull). I still think the finalist should sing one of their mentor's songs WITH their mentor. Though I can't imagine any N Dubz song being suitable for LM. :heehee:

Ed Sheeran's 'Lego House' please? I don't think it's been asked already, but I may be going blind.

Amelia Lily has as much chance of winning than Leon Jackson has of having another #1 record :smoke: I want Little Mix to win. The least offensive out of the three and could actually be interesting post-competition.

I predict The Feeling GH won't even make top 75 :kink:

Somebody should go back to the results thread and add them all up.

I'm torn between wanting Marcus and Amelia Lily gone. The former for being bland as hell (his recording voice on the charity song and M&S advert is HORRIBLE) and the latter for being undeserving of being there in the first place. Hmmmmm.

Sorry for some reason I was thinking of that song but I meant Flo Rida :/ Corrected.

01 Ed Sheeran - The A Team (Favourite) 02 Calvin Harris - Feels So Close 03 JLS Feat Tinie Tempah - Eyes Wide Shut 04 Diddy Dirty Money - Coming Home 05 Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight 06 Flo Rida - Good Feeling 07 Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger 08 Dr Dre, Eminem & Skylar Grey - I Need A Doctor 09 Chris Brown - Beautiful People 10 Wretch 32 - Don't Go Nice to see a group where hopefully a couple of males will make it through :-D

I hope iTunes don't fix the T-Pain error. DREADFUL DREADFUL song. I haven't heard anything that bad since 'Bedrock' :kink: I was really surprised when I listened to DTME. I was expecting a whole song of rapping but his voice is really shocking (in a what the hell sort of way). Doesn't really scream #1 record to me though it is a quiet week...

Taio Cruz for first #1 of the new year then? :(

They need more of the 'could've been a princess...' section. Only having it at that one part of the track is not good enough for me Imma fraid. It's the catchiest part of the song. Still think the track is brilliant though.

Coldplay need to perform a portion of 'Paradise' and then break into 'Princess of China' by which point Rihanna will appear on stage *nods*

Coldplay need to get on the X Factor final and perform 'Princess of China'. That and 'Paradise' are both divine. I can't believe they're still throwing out decent tracks after all this time. Rihanna's bound to be on TXF final again. She'd chew off her own leg for that show :heehee:

I really think they need to release a single for the winner in the summer and follow the JLS type release pattern as Rooney said. It just seems silly to hold back a below average song for the first live show when that boost barely did anything for Cardle and McElderry. A single in July followed by another in October and the album would be a FAR better option I think.

Were we all so blinded by a corking tune that we overlooked Katy Perry's blatant homophobia and gender role brain washing? SCANDAL.

Am I the only one who finds something extremely boring and irritating about Marcus? *runs*

I think saving for a Masters and deciding that clothes and toiletries and heck food is more important than CDs plays a HUGE factor :lol: Plus also like I said - a lot of content is available on Spotify if I really want to listen to an album. I still download songs from iTunes. ^_^

I really hope Nirvana can get Christmas #1. Such an iconic track. The X Factor Winner is bound to sell less in Christmas week if it's out the week before. Nirvana would only need 300k I should think. I never cared for RATM. I still don't like the song that much now, but Nirvana defined an era and it would be a brilliant way to mark the song's 20th anniversary.

I haven't bought any albums at all in the past two years except Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream' and P!nk's Greatest Hits, the latter of which was a Christmas present. Considering back in 2004 time - I would spend the best part of £20 a week on new albums or singles says a lot. It's not that I think music has gotten worse, everything's on Spotify so I don't feel the need to waste my money when it could be used on other more important things. Maybe I'm an evil, evil person for not supporting the industry and such but I will now only buy an album if it is absolutely brilliant. I think lowering album prices is the only way to try and boost the failing market. Yes it would be bad for the major supermarket chains/independent stores but they're going to slowly decline under Amazon and company anyway who are doing just that.

I bet the X Factor Winner will knock Sheeran out of the top 10 singles :( Shame because even though I dislike Pitbull and Bruno Mars, I feel we have a top 10 YTD singles atm that is reflective of what has genuinely been popular and defined the year.

So I hope next week will be based entirely on votes please. They've already manipulated the series enough - it's only right that the public drop the one with the least votes from the final. I'm glad Janet went. Amelia Lily next week plz. Who is performing next week? I didn't watch live.

I am not sure if they ever got to #1 on iTunes but I assume it was likely as 'Hero' was the #1 download for a fortnight, YANA for a week as did 'Heroes'. I couldn't comment on where they were before the performance without looking it up. Maybe I will :kink:

Wonder if either would make iTunes top 10 without the Finalists' performance tonight? They're climbing quite slowly. I still predict a fortnight for the Finalists before the Winner takes over (and hopefully Nirvana the week after that).

I don't think she's vile. There's something unlikeable about her. Her awkward way of speaking and drawling certain words in songs. The fact she couldn't sing 'Falling in love with you' properly grated on me a little is an example of this. The fact she seems to be caught in some fan-girl faze of wanting to be Ellie Goulding and Florence Welch's love child. Her boring personality. The way they try to pass her off as 'different' and 'quirky', when all I see is a sub-par Diana Vickers (when considering how awful the original is, is a worthy achievement) but with ginger hair and a lack of reliance on creepy hand movements. These things make her unlikeable on the screen and tbh I don't think she has done anything that makes her appear as the 'ready made popstar' Louis Walsh seems to want the public to see. As much as Misha B gets hate for her antics etc, she looks like a popstar to me. Her first performance last night from the vocals, to her presence and how she worked the crowd is something you'd expect to be seeing at an actual concert from an artist, not 'MmmBop!'.

P.S If I were Hanson, I would sue that mop head.
