How come in the Beatles theme week,cher did not sing a Beatles song?

she sang " IMAGINE" which is a John Lennons song and was written after the Beatles were finished...

I wanted her to sing 'Let It Be'

It would've been better than Paije's version

She wasn't the only one. To my knowledge (I fully admit I haven't googles it) Wagner sang Hippy Hippy Shake which was a song by the Swinging Blue Jeans not the Beatles.

yes
but it was at least sang by the Beatles
Imagine was not

I was surprised Louis didn't bring this up.

It's a Beatles theme, it fits far better than most of the theme week songs done so far this year.

Probably Simon threw his rulebook in the River Thames

The x-factor rules are there to be broken...I mean the standards change about every 5 minutes.

i would have thought the answer was obvious........................ cos she is cher

Louis only gets his rulebook out for Simon's acts. Plus, he doesn't want to upset The Nation's Sweetheart, the press would be out for his blood!

I agree. It really annoyed me that no one mentioned it on the show or the Xtra Factor. Why bother having theme weeks if they don't stick to the theme?

Regarding Wagner and the Hippy Hippy Shake, as pointed out above by someone else, at least the Beatles sang and recorded that song as a group, before the Swinging Blue Jeans if I remember correctly.
