Sam and Nicole sing "And i am telling you" Both amazing vocalists. Nicole has supported sam from the very beginning, always wanted her to win.

If this goes right, do you think there is potential for it to be the new best duet ever on x factor? Always thought it would be hard to beat Beyonce and Alexandra but this could be it...

Really?

Nicole is no Beyonce - and Sam is no Alexandra. I can't see this being anything special. It is quite predictable and dull.

Almost as dull as Nicholas performing with someone from Westlife.

By comparison to the others, Sam stands out. By comparison to other mainstream artists, she really doesn't.

The world is not ready for Nicole and Sam.

She will eat Nick and Luke for dinner and obliterate them.

Fair enough,your right nicole is no beyonce.. i prefer sam over alexandra :P

But, dull? Both are fantastic vocalists with a powerhouse song, could easily be something special.

Don't know how you can call this almost as dull as nicholas and shanes duet.

Sam is a much better vocalist than Alexandra, in my opinion at least. Although I agree that Nicole has no way near the amount of star power as Beyonce, and also the fact that she's a current judge on the show takes the excitement down quite a bit

I agree.

Sam, vocally, is in a different league to Alexandra - as is Leona.

But Alexandra has a rich, deep, lovely tone to hers.

Still prefer Sam B and Alex, though.

I agree Beyoncé is an amazing vocalist, but I've always found her tone kind of harsh. I prefer Nicole's tone, but I am a biased fan of hers.

When it comes to "who is a better singer?" discussions, I always find that range is completely overrated.
For me it is tone that is the most important thing, and Alexandra has one of the richest and most distinctive tones I have heard. Sam B and Leona pale in comparison IMO.

I agree on some parts, im not bothered about range at all. But im a sucker for Leona's head voice...

I think Leona's tone is easily the most recognisable. Elephant, Let It Go, The Silence and Start Without You all sound unrecognisable!

Sorry but Sam is not better than Alexandra. No way on earth. Alexandra has a much wider vocal range than Sam. All Sam has is a loud voice.

Just because someone has a wider vocal range doesnt mean she is better. Id choose sam anyday of the week over alex.

Technically, Alexandra wipes the floor with Sam. All Sam has is a loud voice...there's no technicality there. She has virtually no vibrato.

I'd love to hear Sam B take on The Silence.

I actually think Sam B is technically more able than Alex. But Alex can add more feeling to a song.

Vibrato doesn't mean someone is more technical than someone. Haley Reinhart for example - I think is better than Alexandra, and her voice has almost no vibrato when she holds notes, and it sounds fantastic.

If some people think Sam is better then Alex then that's their opinon, personally, I think Sam, Leona and Alex are by far the best vocalist ever to be on XF, and are my 3 favs, along with Little Mix.

I love Nicole. I think she is a brilliant singer, etc. However, I do think this duet option for Sam, is a very lazy choice. There seems to be no effort put in at all, picking Sam's duet partner.

To be fair they're all lazy. Shane for Nicholas is practically slothful.

Just because Nicole is a judge, doesn't mean she won't make a good duet partner for Sam.

I personally think they are going to smash it.

I love Nicole but she doesn't have the right voice to pull off this song. Neither does Sam, her voice will sound too screechy and they will have to take it down a few semitones to cater for their vocal range. The song requires raw, old school soul. I'm not even a big fan of the song but this is how it's meant to be sung http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWxDVvwzRH4. Really doubt Sam and Nicole will manage THAT, should still be okay though.

So much growling :')

I think sam is going to do an amazing job at belting the notes out and not sound screechy :P

EDIT: Oh and how jessica never won that series, i just dont comprehend. shes amazing.

OMG, that performance makes me howl with laughter every time I watch it
I'm sorry but those extreme facial expressions are ridiculous!

It'll be funny to see Nicole running vocal circles around Sam B.
