Luke - One Day Like This
Nicholas - I really don't care, all of them sound awful :sleep:
Rough Copy - End of The Road, all of them sound awful though
Sam - Without You
Tamera - This Woman's Work
They are singing two songs, but you only vote for one of the above songs, the other song they will sing is what they think will get them into the semi-final, I think that's what Dermot said anyway.
Tamera - The First Time... - as she actually knows the words to this one.
Luke - One Day Like This -Would be his 'moment' song, it's just so epic!
Sam - Without You - cliched but she would do amazing with the top notes and she's already sung Clown.
Nick- Just the way you are - want him to do something modern!!
Rough Copy - End of the road - after being compared to boys to men, they kind of have to.
The original by Bon Iver is utterly beautiful, and no other version comes close. But it's reasonably current and well-known, and will improve his chances greatly.
Nicholas McDonald - Just The Way You Are (Bruno Mars)
If he wants a career, he really needs to sound more contemporary than the baby Cliff Richard act he's got going at the moment. Awful selection though - why not go with the upbeat 'Locked out of Heaven' if you're going to choose a Bruno Mars song?
Rough Copy - And if You Ever (Gabrielle & East 17)
They haven't got the chops to do Boyz II Men and I don't think the R Kelly song is suited to a group.
Sam Bailey - Without You (Mariah Carey)
Potential competition winning performance if she gets it right.
Tamera Foster - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack)
Offers her the most opportunity to catch up, given how terribly she's doing at the moment.
Finally some good song choices, clearly this is the music they have wanted to sing so far!
My prediction/hopes
Luke - One Day Like This
Nicholas - The Prayer
Rough Copy - End Of The Road ( I've been waiting on them singing this, one of my fav songs of all time)
Sam - Without You
Tamera- Any of the 3 all great choices, The First Time is probably the most show stopping choice, and it'll obviously be the Destinys Child version of Emotion
not really keen on any of the options for Nicholas. hope he doesn't get the prayer tho as that could just be so dull. altho i'm not sure amazed would be much better for him, they are really giving him bland options.
if sam B ends up with without you it will be the worst possible option for her as it will just reinforce the stereotype she should be trying to get away from. would be interesting to see how she did the living years but I would expect to see a big choir on stage with her if she gets it.
if tamera ends up with FTEISYF then it could be bad for her as it will inevitably be compared to matt and his performance of that is one of the standout songs of all the time I have been watching the show, cant see this woman's work suiting her either tbh, its not a song for a 16 y/o girl, I would think if she ends up with emotion she will do something closer to the destiny's child version than the bee gees as well but do they want to be making the beyonce link again ?
rough copy , not overly thrilled with any of those choices either but I think if they end up with I believe I can fly it wont be a good choice for them after some of their earlier songs
not sure about luke's choices either. bridge over troubled waters might expose his voice a bit , I love one day like this but its not a song I think would suit being cut down to 2mins for the x factor.

He really put a lot of thought into his choices, didn't he? :sleep:

The X Factor stage isn't worthy of Kate Bush in person or song!
Weirdly I have 'Hounds of Love' CD playing on my pc right now :eek:
Back on subject.... Didn't Sam already sing Clown at auditions, if she did how can they re-pick that song for her?
I don't! I really like it a lot!
