He does it really well, but most of the X Factor viewers won't have a clue what it is, unfortunately.

Even though 'without you' is no very creative that would probably be the song choice to get the most votes for Sam bailey.
End of the road would be good. They would have to do something different as well to make it sound less like a tribute band but it would show off their harmonies.
Skinny love for Luke definitely.
Nicholas no comment
Well it's a good thing that there are two songs this week. One of them's definitely up-tempo.
bib: No one should attempt a Kate Bush classic.
I voted for "First time..." for Tamera but I regret it now, I think Emotion would be better and she wouldn't have to deal with the Matt Cardle stigma on the song. Having said that, First Time is a great song that should fit her register. She can really belt out the high parts and bring the show to a halt so may as well go for a big risk at this stage.
I know i give Sam a lot of crap about the typical song choices and as a result I feel a bit hypocritical picking Without You for her but she will slay it as usual I'm sure. And I like that song.
I picked One Day Like This for Luke because I think that could be a major moment for him. I can picture the white spotlights, key change and supporting choir already.
Gahhhhh I'm dying to know what Hannah's choices were now
Tamera - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (she said she won her first competition with that, so she should just about be able to remember her words)
Sam Bailey - Without You
Rough Copy - End Of The Road
Nicholas - Just The Way You Are
Luke - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Hannah Barrett
Dance With My Father, Luther Vandross
Broken Strings, James Morrison
Ain’t No Sunshine, Bill Withers
There you go
Rough Copy - End of the Road
Tamera- This Women's work
Luke - Bridge over troubled water
Yep but judging by his fans twitter reaction it will be skinny love and bridge over troubled waters
I think I am going to vote the same as you.
No worst songs for them
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.
