Oh no what is the fascination with Ricky Martin songs on the part of X factor producers?
Commercial links with simon? Poor Stevi. They gave She Bangs to Wagner too of all people!
Stevi pushed right under the bus.

But does the british public know the song?

No fatal 'That's Life' then... yet... I'd be surprised if Stereo Kicks get stuck with it though...

Some good song choices looking forward to tomorrow .

Predictable for Lauren another glued to the spot ballad

It's worth remembering that She Bangs got Wagner through though. It's was Creep that send him out.

I wouldn't say goodbye to Stevi yet.

From The Jungle Book? One of the most famous Disney songs of all time?

Yeah, I'd say a fair proportion of the British public would recognise it alright.

Fleur and Stevi's song choices are a joke.

Not a lot of thought went into choosing that one. Could be the end for them.

They've recycled 'I Wanna Be Like You' as well, also from Wagner's year. Katie Waissel sang it - one of her better performances actually.

Ok. I was asking honestly. I'm not british and Disney songs aren't exactly my strong suit.

It's a Disney classic - why don't you?

big bang theory

Fleur cheating the theme like she did with the 80's theme, how she's able to get away with it is beyond me.

Stevi has the best song choices for me as I like both songs.

I think its a great choice for only the young, it will come across as fun especially if they do it like Robbie Williams which I think they will.

Ben and Fleur also have good songs and I know he,s not popular on here but I think Stevi will be great.

I am excited to see how the production of Bang Bang will be on stage for Fleur. Plus I can finally download it on to my phone off itunes too!

Hopefully she is not hated on for singing the same song that 'made her' (i.e. Miss Frank - That's Life).

Do you mean OTY? I actually love that song choice for them. If I recall correctly, it even served Katie Waissal well during series 7 (one of the few weeks she didn't find herself in the bottom two!)

Andrea: great choice

Lauren - a simplified version like Diana?

Only The Young - well it worked for Katie W

I'm just wondering what they are going to wear

Stereo Kicks - still debating song choice?

Ben: good choice

Fleur: Should sound great with the live band behind her

Jay: Not sure about New York New York - he could come across cheesy

Stevi - don't know the first song, even after a trip to YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_LN3XEcnw

But should be good with the Ricki Martin song.

After viewing the song choices, I'd put OTY and Jay in the sing off, though we still don't know SK's offering yet...

I thought it was the Judges House song - I didn't realise there is another song with the same name. I've looked on YouTube and you're right, it could be the Will i am song

I can't see in what world Bang Bang is big band?? Unless, as someone suggested, it is the Will.I.Am song.

She didn't see Fleur at Judges Houses

Sometimes they do sing songs again. Joe sang 'Dance With My Father' at his audition, and again in the live shows.
