James' choice seems a little odd to me.

Jacob...NO!!!! I hate seeing this song being sung a billion times on these shows, though he should do a good job.

Don't like Stefano but like his choice.

Ashthon's is just boring.

I like Paul but that song is sleep inducing.

Thia's choice..can't decide if it is cute or cheesy.

Can't say I'm very impressed with any of those choices.

Jacob, I like him but boring song choice, been done to death and he's likely to go waaaaaay OTT with it.

Thia, dear god, I like her as well, but please you're 15, happy and upbeat would suit better.

Casey, can hear the arrangement already

Naima, do the Manics version and I might love you, but she won't

Lauren, decentish choice, sticking to what she does, although maybe slightly old for a 15 year old?

Paul, like him, but dreadful choice, although I quite like this song, smacks of something he's been covering for years, although an uncensored version would be fun

It's all a bit ballard heavy, shockingly, the only one I can see as being a bit fun is James pick, not too obvious and has potential, oh god, he carries on like this and I might actually start liking him, and I generally hate people who shriek at me for no good reason

Ashton is one of my favourites without a doubt,

but i knew this would happen (just like Lil Rounds a couple of years back) she will pick the wrong song choices. Her voice isn't soulful/rich/deep enough to carry off 'And i am telling you' or 'when you say...'

she has to go down a different route because that will not garner many votes. If she survives (which i think she will by the skin of her teeth) she has to do something else otherwise she will sound karaoke compared to hudson/holiday/duffy

Nice song but a bit boring. She could be in trouble.

Weird, the comments about the Diana Ross (boring) & Stevie Wonder (love this) songs not being well known, maybe they were bigger hits here or a young audience?

I'm glad they say

Can anyone paste all the comments for that site here?

Surprised me as well, but looking at Wiki it either didn't make top 40 or wasn't released

Hasn't the first of the 2 supposedly unknown songs been used by AI in a big way in the past?

I've actually seen contestants eliminated singing both of the songs, but neither performance was very good, both were several seasons ago, in the same season.

I can't really do spoiler tags so I'm trying to give nothing away, but if you need me to, I;ll explan once we've all seen the show

I've watched Stefano & Ashthon's performances

I just saw the Daily Mail story on the performance and can't believe Pia is a teen. I thought she was mid to late 20s and had been trying to break idol for years!

Pia has said that she's been trying for years, then again Thia has too (AGT semi finals 2 years ago) and she's only 15. I thought Pia was 20 though, the same age as me.

As for Ashthon and Stefano, I would rather see Paul and Haley go based on their past form. I don't generally mind Ashthon, and I quite like Stefano.

That's against the T&Cs of this site I think.

Pia is 22...

Stefano reminds me of Richard Hammond (Top Gear)

He reminds me of my Rock Choir tutor who's really funny when he demonstrates his soprano harmonies lol. I told my teacher so last night lol

I entirely agree - they were abysmal choices and abysmal performances.
