If she didn't have a moment with Listen, I doubt this will do it. I wanted 'Aint No Other Man' for her this week and really thought she would get it.
Yeah but maybe Listen was too big for her...not saying this song isn't but it avoids the obvious comparison.
I would have loved that song for her too! Or something a little jazzy like Candyman (but again that creates the comparison with Alexandra) or even Julie London's version of Fly Me To the Moon!
I've said it EVERY SINGLE WEEK so far during the live shows, and I'm saying it again nowwwwww: "Simon Cowell: We need to find a relevent popstar that can sell records. I KNOW! Let's have our acts sing out-dated songs that are completely irrelevant nowadays". I'm predicting whoever wins will flop if it continues like this.
If Hannah doesn't survive this week, it will be a great injustice. Though it completely depends on how she does it. It may either mean she connects really well (like Mary B and Diamond White) and finally gets a lot of votes or does it well but in a mediocre way and lands B2. Please be the former.
I think Abi may do well with this - it's a very unusual choice for her but it's a good song. And I love Rough Copy's song but I don't think it's their type of song...it's a bit too jazzy/swing? Sam's got an easy song to sing so I think he's going to get the neutral song treatment this week and go B2 - who knows?
At first I thought the same about I Can't Get You Out Of My Head when it was revealed so I hope I am wrong this time.

We're agreeing so much tonight! :eek:
Candyman would of been great too, but yeah, the Alexandra comparisons probably wouldn't of done her any favours - like Listen. I hadn't thought of Fly Me To the Moon actually! But that version would of worked!!!
Can anyone confirm whether Tamera's song is the Julie London/Michael Buble Cry Me A River or Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River? Due to the nature of the theme I'd suspect London/Buble's but I'd love it if it were Justin's!!

Oh God, I *love* that song. They seem to be sticking to the themes fairly rigidly this year. A little creativity here and there wouldn't go amiss without completely taking the piss. I think Hannah would be better at it than Tamera though. Hannah has more gumption.
I hope they're not going to Bublify Nicholas too much with that song

if she does the timberlake song I would expect Louis's rulebook to come out and quite rightly so , it might have the same name as a big band song but that's all
Love that song for Tamera. Hope she does Diana Krall's gorgeous version of it.
Miss Frank will always have the best version of That's Life on X Factor imo and their elimination after it still hurts me. No doubt Abi will ruin this song like she's done with every single one of her performances so far.
Hmmm at that song for Hannah. I've no doubt she will sing it incredibly but I think she's going to draw comparisons.
Love Nicholas' song but I'm not sure if he will be able to conjure up the right mood to make the performance work.
Sam B's song is quite cabaret. She will be vocally flawless again but hmmm.
Someone mentioned above that Tamera should have done Ain't No Other Man by Xtina. I would have loved to see that, but I would also have loved to see Sam B or Hannah give it a crack too.
Abi Alton – That’s Life
Ahh the two-time defending "kiss of death" song. I don't know how this will work.
Hannah Barrett – This Is A Man’s World
Good choice, but if she overdoes it, she could be in the B2.
Luke Friend – Moondance
Nice nice nice! This is the song I would have chosen if I were Louis and not some random person on the Internet.
Nicholas McDonald – Dream A Little Dream
Ahh a song covered by Bublé. Good choice, actually (well, better than Rock with You).
Rough Copy – Hit The Road Jack
Will we FINALLY see the old Rough Copy? Oddly, a chunk of the singing is done by women. How will this work?
Sam Bailey – New York New York
This isn't exactly a "sing in place" song. They're really giving her a kick at the win.
Sam Callahan – Ain’t That A Kick In The Head
Wow a song covered by Robbie. If he keeps his vocals in check and his charms directed properly (i.e. not 100% towards the dancers), he will be good. If this sucks, we might have another Can't Get You Out of My Head and Gazza will milk it.
Tamera Foster – Cry Me A River
People want a shining moment from her? This could be it! Of course, Tamera's my favourite and I think she can always have a moment.
The (female) producers desperately want Abi out...but as we know, week 5 is ALWAYS the shock week for one act.
why would it be a shock for her to go home this week , shes been top of the least favourite poll most weeks , the only shock is that shes lasted this long tbh
Woah that list is very uninventive. Moondance. Really. Cringe.
I adore that song and I love Luke's song choices every week. Bit of a stretch to call it Big Band though - it's a Van Morrison song!
I reckon he and Abi may be in trouble this week.
Also, Sam B's song is just another karaoke classic. Sharon had the chance to show some versatility with Sam's voice this week, but blew it. She'll blow the lid off it again, but at this stage, Sharon needs to stop phoning in the song choices. It's the X Factor, not a cruise ship.

I don't think they're suggesting it would be a shock if Abi went, but rather one of the presumed power-contestants would go.
I think Hannah may go this week unless she wows with This Is a Man's World (which I think she really has a chance of doing) and she's give a later slot (which I think she won't get) - this is a sad, but brute truth reality. And Sam C may be in the B2 with her. The controversy here would obviously be if Sharon takes it to deadlock and Hannah goes home. There Week 5 shock. I so hope it doesn't happen but at the moment I feel it may...:(

We saw last week the versatility, she has proved all the people that thought she was a ballad singer wrong. Tamera, Hannah, Sam C and Nicholas have all done the same thing, and maybe they should start showing some versatility.

It's going to be another yawnfest.
I find your attitude wholey disrespectful. These songs are massive songs that are classics
Not everything has to be crappy dub step/ rap/ RnB
There's a million genres of music and just because Sam bailey isn't singing Rihanna doesn't mean she's irrelevant
You just the people who need to, worry about making money. It's nothing to do with you! You prob download it for free anyway

Having said that, I am actually interested to see what some of the acts will do with these songs.
Yes very surprising indeed haha.

Think Fly Me To The Moon would have been a better choice for him.
But!! They really are trying to get rid Abi aren't they!!
Oh well! That's Life
(Sorry couldn't help myself.)
they weren't limited to a theme of big band songs on the voice tho

you might not like the song but its clearly appropriate to the theme if you check its history

The Mama Cass version is probably the most famous version, but it actually dates from the 30s.
