I started one ... ... *now runs and hide to get a bulletproof vest*

I hope Cheryl will not mess up with the song choice for Katie because it will be critical to get the right song.

Anyone knows what theme will be next week ?

hm ive heard Disco or best of british. Storm was raving about his costume (oh god can u imagine if its disco!!) but i hope they dress katie far more simply this week and a simpler song she can just stand and sing!

Disco ... that would be a Storm in the making ha ha.

But honestely i'd rather have the british theme because it would be a better and more varied theme for everyone.

I like Katie too, hope people give her a chance this week! Loved her sing off performance, a song like that can keep her in the comp abit longer, Cheryl needs to pick wisely this week

Forgot the unreality links don't work here
I'll put another similar one:

It would be intresting to hear Katie sing Madonna's Frozen or The power of Goodbye or Gwen's 4 in the morning ... or maybe Pink's I don't believe you or glitter in the air.

Katie say regarding her song choice

"If I give you a clue, you are going to know who it is... They are very rock 'n' roll. ..."

hmm any ideas?

Something by Oasis? One of their lower key numbers might be good - I am still waiting to be as won over by Katie as I was at her first audition, and I want her to sing something low key.

Didn't think of Oasis, could be! I hope whatever she sings is a slow / mid tempo song.

I liked her from the begining but then wasn't sure. She won me over again with the Beatles sing off song last week tbh...

I only thought of Oasis because of her "rock and roll" comment - they like to think of themselves as bad boys in the rock and roll sense of the word!

I thought she was much better in her sing off which is why I am happy to give benefit of the doubt until at least I see what she brings on Saturday.

I am hoping that all this "diva, wannabe" hype is just that - hype. Also Lisa seemed to think she was lovely, and she's actually had a chance to assess at close proximity,

rock 'n' roll hmmm .. there could be a lot of bands.
I was hoping for no doubt or gwen

Hey there! Just wanted to drop in and say I'm a tentative Katie fan. I had this big impression she was a "diva" and just in it for the fame but after Sunday I was pretty impressed.

I listened to her auditions properly and think she actually has a decent voice and from interviews and stuff I've seen she seems like a pleasant girl. Maybe a drama queen but definitely nice with a good voice. I hope she manages to wow everyone on Saturday and earn herself a bit more time to win people over. I'm not supporting her completely yet but I might be if she keeps up the good singing!

Fingers crossed for a good song choice from cheryl and a good performance from katie. She needs a chance to get people to see through Gamu Gate or whatever the papers wrote about her and judge her on her performances.

Sorry for consecutive posts.

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera would be a great song choice with meaningfull lyrics - at least for the survival song. Hopefully she won't need one this week.

That might be a good one - but I'm not so sure its a good idea in Katie's case. Her problem at the moment is winning back over public opinion.

Christina is a "diva". She's got a huge voice with tones that make that song practically impossible to cover well by anyone else.

Katie's voice is not a big voice. Its more a "pretty" voice from what I've heard. Not saying she couldnt sing Christina, but I'm not sure the ultimate comparison would do her any favours.

Just trying to play devil's advocate.

I think she could do a Katie Melua song very well. Someone like that, who's quirky voice Katie could possibly do justice too.

Thoughts?

I think you're right with christina ...you have a point there . i thought it would be an idea because of the lyrics.

Now Katie Melua ... that would be a great choice for her... When you thought me how to dance, I cried for you or Spider Web

Though i got a feeling that we're expecting diversity from x factor and all we're going to get is the same old same old song choices.

Katie song choice is


Hope everything goes well for her!

I think thats a great choice for her. She can show that she can sing with that one - I wait to be turned around in my opinion of her talent levels. MUCH better than some big diva number or trying to do Queen, which frankly no-one can do justice too except Freddie Mercury.....

I know its a bit funny of me to post in appreciation when I'm not her biggest fan, but I genuinely want her to do well, if you get what I mean. I think its one of those "underdog" things, plus the fact that I genuinely liked her first audition, and her quirky personality.

I wish her good luck. If I like it I will say so, if I still feel afterwards that she is overrated I will also say that, but then bow out of her appreciation thread gracefully

Go on Katie. One shot now - pull it out of the bag!!

Fingers crossed for Katie! I hope she does well!!

I really liked that well done Katie

That was an excellent performance from Katie! I really liked it.

Well done Katie. Looks like I'll be hanging around your appreciation thread on and off for at least another week. MUCH better.

Well done for Katie tonight. I reckon she's safe this week.

Credit where it is due, that was Katie's best performance to date. It was warm and sincere and I rather enjoyed it.

P.S. I am not even drinking.

Good for her.
