What TWO songs, one from each theme, would you like the remaining contestants to perform on next Saturday's Quarterfinal show?

Here's some song choice ideas from each of the themes that the remaining contestants could perform -

ABBA:
From their Greatest Hits CD, ABBA Gold.

1. Dancing Queen
2. Knowing Me, Knowing You
3. Take A Chance On Me
4. Mamma Mia
5. Lay All Your Love On Me
6. Super Trouper
7. I Have A Dream
8. The Winner Takes It All
9. Money, Money, Money
10. S.O.S.
11. Chiquitita
12. Fernando
13. Voulez Vous
14. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
15. Does Your Mother Know
16. One Of Us
17. The Name Of The Game
18. Thank You For The Music
19. Waterloo

Obviously, Rylan will be doing a mash-up, and thus slaughtering at least 2 of ABBA's songs, but would really love to hear him perform their album track "So Long" in the hope it will be prophetic.

Rylan should do a mash-up of Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie and Voulez Vouz. He's starting to remind me more and more of Erasure (obviously his voice isn't in the same league as Andy Bell's voice) and they've covered both these tracks. I think it would suit him perfectly.
