Well every song can be rescueable I suppose, but when Hannah and Jay James both did their own versions they were in the lower half of the votes that night.

And I remember that Amber girl from The Voice USA a few years ago tried it and she never quite connected with the public I never felt, she weren't the worst of her year and she did one really outstanding performance here's a link if you're interested https://youtu.be/4VNaahM3uC4 however she had to have the pimp slot about three times before she went which shows that Skyfall doesn't really do much to change the contestants fate.

I forgot that somebody will almost certainly get something from Dream girls, We've gone nearly a whole series without somebody warbling though Listen :O

Saara is the only one who do any of them justice, which means we'll have Matt doing vocal runs all over one of the songs *shudders*

Some more:

5 After Midnight - Shotgun (Junior Walker & The All-Stars) Misery

Saara - Sledgehammer (Rihanna) Star Trek Beyond

Honey G - Straight Outta Compton (NWA) Straight Outta Compton

Matt - Hopelessly Devoted To You (Olivia Newton-John) Grease

Ryan - Born To Be Wild (Steppenwolf) Easy Rider

Emily - Hakuna Matata (Jimmy Cliff version) The Lion King

Yeah I can see honey doing the straight outta Compton track!

I don't think Ryan's happy with his choice he was in a massive tit on Twitter earlier

With the whole "blackface" controversy, I think she'll be given Lose Yourself by Eminem tbh. It's been performed on the show before (I think) and there's less swearing to cut out.

Ooh what did Ryan say?

He said this

Fuming

Oh dear, he's probably getting Footloose.

Yeah, last night, Ryan tweeted "fine then, I'll just do that.." Then this morning, he tweeted "not being able to be me, pisses me off." I'm guessing he's unhappy with the song choice. What are they going to do if you just say no, I don't wanna sing that song.

There have been some last minute song changes with other contestants though, surely kicking off on twitter is not the most diplomatic way of trying to stand your ground.

Funny how a couple of weeks ago Simon was complimenting his attitude and how despite being in danger every week he hasn't moaned. The moan has started.

Maybe they've given him the Jungle Book song that Katie Waissel did (and added lots of dancing animals around him)

With Brian I'd expect anything

Looks like Ryan's deleted those tweets criticising his song choice. Must have had it changed or someone's had a word. This is his most recent tweet.

Ryan Lawrie @RyanLawrie_
Got a wicked song to perform at the weekend! I can't wait for you all to hear it.

I doubt he'll have had it changed. Whatever songs the contestants get given, that'll be the song that they'll have to sing. Most likely a case of someone's told him to delete the tweet and type a positive one.

if Saara sings the 'Les Miserables' movie theme ("I dreamed a dream"), she'll deffo nail it & will continue gain public support.

If she was to do a Les Mis song then I would give her On my own- It's a better fit for her I think

That would be amazing, but too theatrical for X Factor I think.

I am kind of dreading this theme, they will use the same tired songs as usual, I wish they'd be a little more creative.

I'd personally love Saara to do this,

will be a bit tricky for Emily this week. she needs to up her game by not singing another ballad. she missed her chance showing her versatility during Disco theme. now, what uptempo movie songs that'll suit her? Fame / What a Feeling / Footloose...?

It'll not be her choice. She'll be told what to sing.

honey g - turtle power (partners in kryme from tmnt movie 1990)

5 after midnight - on our own (bobby brown from ghostbusters 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaIZvCDWAcQ

BIB I would LOVE to see this get used, it is such an underrated song and also very uplifting in some ways too.......the problem is the old "its not very well known" argument would be used or they would not be allowed to use it etc etc.

It is time the songs were a bit more creative and different as opposed to what the Teenie Boppers and Hipsters have on their Top 10 on Spotify.......

Emily - Flashdance...What a Feeling (Flashdance)
Ryan - I Wan'na Be Like You (The Jungle Book)
Matt - Stand By Me (Stand By Me)
Saara - My Heart Will Go On (Titanic)
Honey G - Lose Yourself (8 Mile)
5 After Midnight - Greased Lightnin' (Grease)

they use the theme from the first ghostbusters film nearly every series..why not use the theme from the second it got to no.4 in the UK and was produced and written by cowells best bud LA reid,

someone, probably emily, will get lumbered with the gary jules version of "mad world" from donnie darko

Going by the XF track record i'll put a punt on a few from previous years

Emily - kiss me (Shes all that) its in her style but its just ever so slightly more energetic than the slow dross she has been doing

Matt - earned ut (50 shades) well you know, falsetto fa la la laaaa

Ryan - my girl (my girl) simple and clean song that doesn't need bells and whistles

Saara - my heart will go on (titanic) or Dont want to miss a thing (Armageddon) because obvs

5am - jump and move (happy feet) something that can require a big dance break. I dunno.

Honey G - gangstas paradise (dangerous minds). Lets see how she rolls with the big boys lol, shes butchered everything else so why not?
