Thought I'd try to create a thread which isn't about Ella leaving.

One of the songs the contestants are singing next week will be an ABBA song, what are you choices?

Rylan- Gimme gimme gimme/money money money mash up
James- Knowing Me, Knowing You
Jahmene- Thank You for the music
Union J- Mamma Mia
Chris- Dancing Queen

Struggled with James- i really like him but can't imagine him singing an ABBA song!

Rylan has to do Mamma Mia in his accent, and he could have a whole Mamma-Mia-like production like the stage show.

Chris should do a ballad, James should do a midtempo.

I'd like to see a less well-known Abba song like Chiquitita or Does Your Mother Know...

Shouldnt the acts be singing two songs each, by now?

Yes they are also singing a Motown song. Wonder if anyone will sing a song not done by ABBA for their 'ABBA song'. It wouldn't suprise me.

Rylan - Take A Chance On Me/Waterloo/Gimme Gimme Gimme/Mamma Mia crazy mash up, maybe throw in another song just for good luck
James - Knowing Me, Knowing You
Jahmene- The Day Before You Came - perfect for the miserable little sod
Union J - The Name of the Game
Chris - Does Your Mother Know - super creepy!

The Name of the Game is THE best Abba song, I don't want to see that getting slaughtered like a week old lamb at Easter by any of the acts. Will we see Abba Gold zoom up the charts again after next weekend?

Chiquitita for Jahmene. This is the song Leona Lewis covered in the last X Factor ABBA week.

James - SOS (The same version that Adam did at Judges House)
Jahmene - Chiquitita
Chris - The Winner Takes It All
Union J - Does Your Mother Know? or I Have A Dream
Rylan - Waterloo/Mamma Mia mashup


All songs cater for their fanbases.

Why the 'mash up's' for Rylan? Isn't he capable of singing 1 song on it's own?

My choices..

Christopher...The winner takes it all..
Jahmene.. Super Trouper
James..Another town another Train..
Rylan..Fernando..
Union J..Mamma Mia..

Eton Road did 'Does Your Mother Know' - one of their best weeks - so I can totally see Union J getting that

Abba should suit Rylan so he should have a good week again Probably a mashup for a change

Maybe 'Fernando' for James (can use the guitar)

Chiquitita might suit Jahmene though there's a few places he'll be tempted to warble again

Christopher - SOS Ot they might try to sabotage him with uptempo - Take A Chance On Me

Having Abba songs straight after cheesey week is really poor. Thought Saturday was worst show in a very long time and don't look like next one's gonna be any better.

Is Christopher's prophetic

Though someone further down suggested it for Jahmene too. That would suit him without too many warbles

I picked a mash up for my choice because he always does mash ups, and I think he does them well. But I think he would be fine doing just 'gimme gimme gimme' on its own still!

LOL.

Do people think that these themes will appeal to a younger audience? I mean im 18 and love ABBA, but i know most people my age have barely heard of them!

I'm just glad they're actually having a tangible theme, for once. It's much more interesting to see how they adapt.

Angel Eyes
Day Before You Came
Rock Me
Summer Night City

That's probably the most awful cover I've ever heard.
