Taking into consideration (no my names not simon)

1. how suited it is 2 their voice
2. how adaptable it is 2 get the 'originality' stamp of approval
3. how voter friendly it is

For me id love to say its Alex but i don't think she's been given the best song ( i love 'without you' just she is kinda playin a dangerous game when it comes to bein original)

so IMO im suprised 2 say i think Ruth has been given the best song choice, she will be able 2 belt it out at the climax, which is very much her style and altho it is a popular MC song its not been overdone like some of the others

Oh yeah and lil Diana 'from Blackburn' was Lucky 2 get David Cook's intepretation of 'Always be my Baby' guess thats one of the many perks of bein the shows out and out favourite hey :rolleyes:

    Yeah i think it is clever of Daniel 2 do a less well known song as most people wont have any comparison and will kinda see it has his song, and yeah i would love 2 see jls sing their song accapella, huge risk if they pull it off they could challenge Diana, i mean they've proved they can do it, so why not take that risk?

    Eoghan as he's the only one who's got the song I picked for him, with Anytime You Need A Friend :D

    I hope their performance won't, but JLS's song choice disappoints me as I was hoping for Touch My Body :)

    Don't really know Ruth's. Daniel's isn't amazing but at least it's not one of the 3 most obvious songs he could have got. Rachel having AAO is better than Daniel having it but it's still a shame as I'm haunted by it being Brooksteined lol :)

    Laura could easilly have handled a bigger, more exciting Mariah song, Diana's song would've suited her but although I love Cookie it's lazy of XF using his arrangements week in week out, and odd as Cheryl hated Austin doing Billie Jean.


    Alexandra's choice irritates me the most. She'll do it well but is it illegal to go a series without "Without You" being used? It certainly seems that way, and it doesn't tend to bode well for those who sing it :)

    So yeah definitely Eoghan - it's not a perfect fit but it was never going to be. Why all the ballads?

    I agree with the Alex and the with out you comments however i think Leona would beg 2 differ lol, i guess she has been the only exceptional 2 the rule up until now, i think everyone else has had trouble with it due to the fact the song is massive aka beverley last year her voice was good but not big enough, especially her range 4 this song, i think Alex's is big enough to pull it off, so i guess we'll have 2 see ;)

    Leona was always going to survive a Mariah song choice, and she chose the song herself but there does always tend to be an exception to the rule. Without You was never seen as her standout performance anyway, although I would say it was one of her better ones.

    Cassie from Series 1, Carly from AI ahd Tara from I'd Do Anything all performed it, and weren't eliminated that night but didn't go on to win. Michelle McManus won singing it near the final, in the days before X Factor existed :)

    Lucy who won the Veleb XF also won having performed it, as did Kelly Clarkson on AI. It's obviously not a curse for everyone but it will become more so each time it's used, especially now it's been used by Leona

    I agree that it's unlikely Alex's time is up yet, but it's a shame she hasn't been given a more inventive song choice, especially considering some of the other songs she's been given. There's no denying her talent but I worry that these lazy song choices get in the way of her showing star quality :)

    Its not necessarily who has the best song, but who has the best arrangement

    When they had a Mariah week on American Idol, I preferred the boys to the girls, as they mostly had original arrangements and the girls mostly just tried to be Mariah.

    So (if she sings!) I expect Diana will be "original" with the arrangement they used for David Cook on A.I.
