I want my money back if it's repeats again!

I'm inclined to agree with that - I would have liked to hear Andrew sing something he would have probably sung with his cathedral choir last year but then you'd get the stumbling block of no-one really knowing what it was, so people would be too wtf to vote for him.
That said, it isn't all their call, they go with a list of things they can sing and the show has a large influence over what is actually sung (like I said, Andrew Muir/Imagine/Last year's final), so we don't know that it is necessarily them choosing to repeat.
That said, Shaheen is rather excellent (unsurprisingly) at singing Who's Lovin You so why shouldn't he sing something he is good at? It suits his range and he can perform it easily, he probably sings it in his sleep or something, if he really wasn't 100% last night it would also allow him to rest his voice a bit without needing to prepare too much for the final.
Maybe he could sing something different from his tour, or maybe even something he didn't prepare for that, but even so, provided he can sing it well it doesn't really matter what he sings, my point is that it may well not be exactly their decision what to sing.
