On paper this is a great theme. In reality it will likely be a succession of 12 upbeat songs turned into low-tempo, overwrought patience-botherers.

Yep. As I said on another thread, it'll be like a 2 1/2 hour John Lewis advert

Judging by the vocal session with Seann during Xtra Factor, it sounded like the instrumental of 'Elastic Heart' by Sia. I'm only half way through the show at the moment so don't know if his song choice is confirmed later.

Is anyone doing Toxic by Britney Spears as interpreted by either Melanie Martinez or Alex & Sierra?

I am going to snatch Louisa if she does David Cook's version of Billie Jean and the judges try to pass it off as original

Kiera - Return of the mack
i'm struggling to get my head around how she is going to do this , the original is so far removed from anything she has shown so far and i am not sure how she is going to turn it into a dirge like she did with the jermaine stewart track she did at her first audition

It's quite a boring song too, really. Essentially just two chords over and over again. It's identity comes more from his vocal stylings and the production than anything else and as a result it sounds *very* 90s. Unless the rearrangement is really quite radical, i.e. completely different harmonies etc, I don't see how it's going to be anything but dull

Return of the Mack is a horrible song to have to 'reimagine'! Like others have said, the appeal of the original song comes mainly from it's arrangement (that backing track/beat is so recognisable) and from Mark Morrison's delivery of the song. So much swagger! Not really Kiera's bag at all! If she's doing an Ariana Grande song, I'm completely failing to see how that falls into the 'classic track' category - but then, that's always been a bit fluid, hasn't it?! None of these options are making me think Kiera is going to survive the weekend!
