You know, as a whole, this is a fine set of feel - good tunes. Most of the songs will not challenge the contestants too much vocally (Sam may struggle). So I'm looking forward to a good show....

...after I've watched strictly of course !

Great songs from the 70s to the 90s!

Matt or Saara could nail A Little Respect with its cruel vocal range and beautiful melody. Either would be immense. Shame ....

I don't think Emily will go in the drop zone this week, although that song choice might set her up nicely for next week.

And the song really is a cursed song with it also claiming Austin.

SERIOUSLY? it's disco week and she's still doing a ballad. She's got no versatility and is now just boring to watch.

It's not Emily's fault she has been saying for a while now that she wants to do some dancing

The show has pigeonholed her as they always do with girls like her.

This whole year is repeating last years rubbish, humiliate everybody bar the chosen one, and the joke act.

Absolutely. I could name 100 better disco songs off the top of my head but it's same crap different year as per usual.
Are they really that clueless about music or do they just they just think the public only knows 50 songs exist?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I reckon Emily is close to Matt in the votes and they are trying to kill her off a bit...they could have easily given her an up tempo song , Saara has the best song

I know that, but she must have some say in the song. Previous contestants have complained about their song choices.

Emily was not given an uptempo song because she can't sing an uptempo song. God, it's nothing to do with trying to humiliate her. She can only sing slow songs. She would actually murder an uptempo song. You can tell she just hates the idea of changing it up, she doesn't want to be versatile. I hope she goes this week. She's just boring and has a kid voice.

Wow, your psychic

Samantha is currently bookies favourite to leave:

The song will just emphasise her shouty voice so don't know why Simon has picked it

BIB, it's hard to really say if they're not giving her an uptempo song to sing to be fair.

Also it all depends on if the uptempo song would even suit her voice.

X factor is about the voice now? lol kk

And getting the usual big production number

Absolutely no imagination once again. I was a teenager in the disco era and I can't ever remember dancing along to any of those, apart from Best of My Love and the occasional slow dance to Wishing On A Star

Play That Funky Music, in the right hands could be good - Adam Lambert did it on AI and he stole the show, not that Ryan could compare to Lambert........

Saraa would have nailed 'Don't Leave Me This Way'

Thats your opinion not mine.

I imagine Saara will 'smash it' this week.

The only thing she 'smashes'in this house is my eardrums with that shrill sqauwk.

If they had given her that to sing all the pre-publicity would just be talking about the Communards version

Well it should be a basic requirement for an act like Emily yes lol.

It's no worse than Ice Ice Baby!!

She performed an uptempo ellie goulding number at six chairs and it was pretty epic to be honest.
