Some song choices as revealed on Lorraine
Saara - Chandelier
Matt - Say You Love Me
Emily - Mad World
5 After Midnight - Signed Sealed Delivered
If Saara sings that exactly the way she sang it in her first audition, then...wow!

It's by Jessie Ware.

Lauren Murray did it at last year's 6CC. Also performed by Sasha Simone on the Voice UK S4 and a couple times on the Voice US in the last 2 years.

Here's Lauren's version. I didn't know the song but having listened to it I think it's lovely and matt could potentially have a moment with it.

I think they'll all have good songs to suit them to be honest, it's the semi finals!

I'm guessing she can. Her range is really good and her control is envious. I was hoping she'd keep this for the semis so she can do Winner Takes It All again in the finale.

I'm happy with saara's song choices. I think chandelier has the potential to be incredible, especially if she is able for to duplicate her audition. I'd have preferred o holy night for the Xmas choice but I guess the Mariah Carey classic will enable to saara to really have fun with it.

Jessie Ware's tracks are great. I think it will be great for him. Hopefully, it won't be too cheesey.

Out of them choices Mad World is the best song imo, I just can't believe that Emily keeps getting these songs that I like lol as I controversially weren't very keen on her Creep, and her Human was decent I'll give her that, but it probably wouldn't have stoodout as much on a better night.

Saara I'm looking forward to as I think she could still sing Chandelier well live.

What is Matt's song?

And 5 After Midnight will still face some vocal challenges on that song just by the fact that Stevie Wonder puts strong vocals on his songs.
Emily should have done TLC-Creep instead, imagine that

That's not really what I meant. I meant if she's allowed to. They might have her singing it in a different way.

Jank songs! Standard rubbish!

5AM will go this weekend their songs are no longer relevant in this day and age - they should've done Controlla - Drake or Don't mind - Usher! I love Stevie Wonder but 5AM voters are barely out of nappies so how will they even know that song! Stitch up

Matt - don't know one of his songs and silent night is s but if a dirge

Emily - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Saara - not familiar with chandelier and hate the Mariah Carey number with a passion

5am - East 17 is a lame song and only made ok by the chavvy video. Love Stevie but it's one of his over done songs and nowhere near one of his best.

I'll put the vino on ice now - I'll need it 🍾

might need something stronger than that

5am doing "stay another day" is just such a lazy song choice, as is "mad world" for emily

Saara has potentially got two very good songs, depends how she does on the night.

I reckon Saara will open the show because she's the only one with an uptempo Christmas track. Unless the other one's are gonna do something with their tracks.

I'm not 100% convinced on Saara's song picks, even though everyone seems to love them. I did love her audition, but I always think it's kinda lazy and underwhelming when a contestant repeats a song they've performed before in the competition. She would have to completely change it around or make something new and different with it to really leave an impression.

Also, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a dangerous song, which could be an amazing performance, both vocally and entertaining wise, as it could be a disastrous performance.

This could either be what might set Saara to match Matt in the finale or what mean her end in the competition.

Besides that, Matt's songs are pretty much spot-on, I'm quite excited for his "Say You Love Me" performance since I love that song and I actually think he can pull it off.

Also, I'm actually excited for Emily's Mad World which I think might give her a moment, just like what she had with "Creep".

5AM songs are pretty much the same as always, so I don't expect anything different or amazing from them.
