I want them to abolish theme weeks and let the contestants sing to their strengths.

Theme weeks just lead to the same, narrow song list we've had for years.

[InMyArms]

Week 1: Songs that should have been #1 but weren't
Week 2: Songs by Queen
Week 3: Songs by UK artists
Week 4: Big Band
Week 5: Songs from the 50s-80s
Week 6: Songs by their personal idols
Week 7: One song from the year they were born and one song they grew up listening to
Week 8: One party song and their audition song
Week 9: One Contestant's choice, One Mentor's choice, One Audience's choice
Final: Best performance of the Series, Celebrity Duet, Christmas songs, 'The song to win it', Winner's single.

[pothuthic]

Deffo agree with Disney songs!

[ali12354]

Disney All The Way And Movies
Also Songs Which You Wish You Wrote

[StratusSphere]

Big Band week!
Dance Classic week - because dance music is so IN right now and has been for years - they could re-interpret some classics like Show Me Love or Rhythm of the Night
Beyonce week?
Pink songs week? Pink has enough styles of music while maintaining an overall sound to spread across different types of singers, plus she has a new album coming up and has been in the business for at least 10 years...
Boybands and girlbands week?

[iseloid]

Mariah, Aretha Franklin and AC/DC week. Sort out the boys from the men.

A Disney mush fest, no thanks.

[Parneb]

[quote=StratusSphere;59520482]Big Band week!

I totally agree, it sorts the rubbish from the classy ones who can adapt to all types of music.

Remember how Big Band week was the making of Alexandra Burke. She did a stunning performance of Candy Man.


Also, all ages groups watch the X Factor and their tastes should be taken into consideration and not just Rap, insipid pop and endless copies of Beyonce and the like. Variety IS the spice of life.

[CGG_12]

Week 1- UK Number 1's (general to start off)
2- Westlife week
3- 90's
4- Disco
5- Robbie Williams vs take that
6- UK One hit wonders
7- Movie songs
8- songs from 2012, Michael Jackson
9- Mentor's choice, get to final
10- Final night 1: Christmas song, best song from series, duet
Final night 2: Song to win, WInner's song

Not really bothered but would love 90's and 2012 themes

I definitely agree with this.

[elasticlove]

If they do continue with themed weeks I hope they are more concrete about the songs allowed, some of last years choices were absolutely ridiculous.

Was it Tik Tok for Rock Week?

[Anightlikethis]

Too bad they never got round to doing a Girls Aloud theme. Shame on you Simon

They definitely should do a Dance theme. Also maybe U2, Divas, classic rock (not just Queen), and maybe Lady Gaga/Bjork/Cher mix night with costumes

[jackel1234]

I say they do a shake it up week, where the act has to twist the song and make it different in a way... doubt it'll happen though

[mashitup]

I agree with Dance Classic & Disco weeks and maybe a Jagger/Richards week!

[ItsTimmyTime]

I agree that they should be able to do songs to their advantages instead of being pigeon-holed in a genre that they don't like and/or suit. I suppose it mixes things up though. Vague Theme weeks would be better, like how Little Mix started to shine in Halloween week because the basic brief was a creepy/sinister song instead of "A song by _____ only".

I'd love another Britney week though!

And an X Factor week where they sing songs by former contestants to highlight what the show has churned out over the years. There is plenty of variety from quirky pop like Diana Vicker and Aiden Grimshaw, to diva pop like Leona, to R'n'B from Alexandra and JLS, and of course the soothing melodies of Steve Brookstein...

['JPordan'96]

Year the contestant was born (for groups it would be an aveage age)
Legends (MJ, Whitney, Elvis etc)
Elton John week (I Loved this in series 7)
Take that vs Robbie Williams
Movie Songs
Own original song (never going to happen i know)
Album tracks - unreleased
Rock week (real rock = Aerosmith, ACDC, Bon jovi etc)
Country week (i know it wont happen unfortunately!)

[abrightyz]

just theme weeks where they all actually stick to the allotted theme and not necessitate arguments about the crazy rulebook, lolz!!
