Bad song choices for some singers are an issue

Some singers sounded bland, because they needed a song they can give oomph to.
Heres how it should be done for some of them, although I'm not sure if they would be able to sing less popular songs from the charts

three songs that have just been done to death
I completely agree, no originality at all.....!
I know. We should devise a drinking game for XF cliché bingo.
One shot for each of the divorcee karaoke power ballads someone screeches out.
One shot for every time Cowell says 'I didn't like that................'
One shot for Cheryl saying 'I thoroughly enjoyed that'
And a whole effing bottle if they wheel Louis Walsh out for the lives
as long as we dont have to drink for a gormless look on grimshaw's face or a blank one on rita's. i dont think my liver could handle all those shots.
Think we'd both be face down in the gutter by now if we play by those rules
How about a shot for forums clichés? ;-)
I was disappointed with these choices as well. It felt like the girls were pandering to the viewers and that horrible audience.
Plus, I don't care how popular it is - I hate 'and I'm telling you' with a burning passion >:(
Last week on bootcamp Simon said he did not like Kiera's voice.
Now today he stood up and clapped for her saying she is amazing.
and this is the same simon who will criticise acts for singing dated songs and that performance tonight was straight out of the mid 80s
Was there a list? How extensive was it? Were all of them given their first choices? Were there any song clearance issues?
Their told what to sing they don't have much say in the matter even the most intelligent can't win that argument with the Cowell crew
The Cowell crew has no say on that at least.
It was bad last year , it was horrendous the Sam Bailey year
I think the problem is that what is left of the voting audience like the dated ballads Whitney etc as a lot of the young people have deserted the show.
This is a key year as if it's yet another bad winner I can see the show being rested.
Cowell will pull out all the stops to get Louisa as the winner although this could backfire
Simon can do all he wants to artificially dictate what the public wants but with teenage girls and bored housewives mainly voting on these shows, I'm almost sure that a bland male will (once again) win X Factor. So it'll either be one of Nick's acts in the boys category, or one of Simon's "male" acts in the overs category winning. That's my prediction anyways.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!! (and this is coming from someone who actually rates Seann Mikey very highly, but I don't want him to win as he'll be much better off coming 2nd, 3rd, etc... then doing his own thing without the shackles of SYCO attached to his feet).
I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more contestants doing some of the excellent Empire songs - all written and produced by Timbaland. 'No Apologies', especially, is an amazing track.
