I dont know if this type of thread has done before and if it has I apologise but I haven't seen one and thought of doing it.

I was watching some past performances and I got to thinking of songs that past contestants should have sang on the show.

For me a prime example is Janet Devlin. I think one song Kelly should have got her to sing is Linger by The Cranberries.

What are some other songs that you can think of for other past contestants?

Christopher should have sung more Liverpool anthems (You'll Never Walk Alone) and walked it to the final.

I have always wished Leona had been given the opportunity to sing Hallelujah first.

I still can't get over Gary Barlow giving Maloney 'Alone' by Heart to sing. I mean, Melanie would have so clearly slayed that song it's ridiculous. AND she would have been safe that week

Alexandra should have performed "Saving All My Love For You" during the live shows. She nailed it during her audition and more recently here, I think it would have been another show-stopping performance had she performed it during the live shows.

Her performance of it at young voices was absolutely stunning.

I wonder why?
I wish Alex had sung Sweet Love by Anita Baker. It would've fit her perfectly. I wish Ruth had sung River Deep Mountain High!

They could've done a mash-up when they performed Katy Perry's "E.T."!

It might have been rather hard for Misha B to sing Beneath Your Beautiful considering that it wasn't released until a year later

Was just about to post that lol!

I don't know how many people here watch X Factor Australia, but I would have preferred Samantha Jade to have sang I Will Always Love You rather than Take a Bow at the finale.
Then again, she won based on what she did, so maybe it would be better not to change a thing...

I recall Ella Henderson having sung the Evanescence track "Bring Me To Life". I'm no fan of hers but I think she'd have done a great job with another of their songs, "My Immortal". I guess that song is not widely known enough to be used on the show though.

Oh you're referring to the X Factor live shows.....I was thinking beyond that (I.E on a future CD/Album track) as she HAS sang this on Trevor Nelson's LIVE LOUNGE radio shows and she was sensational on it too.....would have been a great addition to one of her mixtape downloads!!
