Thoughts?? Also last week were they posted in order of performance? Vote Che (sorry had to add it :P)

There is a reggae version of WAWW and SOTR on you tube, So I guess Max's reinvention will be similar to these. The second link is a bit of a mash up of both songs.

Reggie and Bollie always got changed last minutes LOL

They can't make them sound good unless song very simple

Reggie n Bollie singing the same song of their 6CC?
Looking forward for Lauren's performance.

Louisa to do the Chris Cornell version of Billie Jean and get a standing ovation 'sigh'.

And why are they doing the same song as 6cc

Poor Anton. That's all I can say

And get another predictable reggae selection.

Lol at Anton's mash-up!! As if he would really go for those tunes (but at least he is giving Luther Vandross a break this week)!

His song choices look like a car crash waiting to happen...

Also.......define classic...

I assumed it was supposed to be classic as in old classic songs but I assume I must be wrong

But do classic songs need to be that old???...also, who decides what classic is???

I mean if you google classic songs there is nothing current.

and the definition is
judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.

Haven't warmed to Lauren yet, but that could change tomorrow. Love that song!

4th Impact are singing sound of the underground and the clapping song not boom clap?

Update: sorry ignore that must of been changed

I don't know, I imagine the Clapping Song would segue into Sound of the Underground more naturally - similar tempo and rhythmic energy. Plus it goes with the slightly dodgy grown-women-dressed-as-little-girls thing they seem to be going for with 4th Impact.

4th Impact should of sung Bang Bang.

Simon is hoping that we have forgotten that Chris Cornell did his own version then David cook did the same version on Idol

I'm just watching Xtra that I taped last night - Max said he is playing a ukulele.

I can't imagine what those songs sound like with a ukulele

Type Israel Kamakawiwo'ole into Youtube and you will find out.

It's a rip off of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fahr069-fzE

I know! Didn't someone else try it on X Factor a few seasons ago & Cowell tried to pass it off as an original version?

Why are the making Max do stuff like reggae and playing the ukulele....this isn't him. ...

I think Simon is trying to make him sound different from other Balladeers... otherwise he's competing with the like Che and Louisa... and we already got loads of them.
