Week 8- your ABBA song choices
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? |

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?

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. |

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.

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.. ![]() Though someone further down suggested it for Jahmene too. That would suit him without too many warbles

Whats next, Death Metal and childrens TV theme tunes? 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!

Why do people always pick the same Abba songs, there are loads more to choose from.
