The duets don't seem to attract the kinds of big names they used to anymore. Gone are the days of Beyonce and Rihanna agreeing to sing with the finalists.

According to Saara, Sharon has arranged something for her this week that she has always wanted to do.

Matt and James would probably do Say You Won't Let Go.

Saara and Adam Lambert could do The Show Must Go On or Who Wants to Live Forever.

If 5AM do get The Weeknd, I think Can't Feel My Face is the most likely.

Even Queen don't do BH live completely, so I doubt they would opt for that.

My guess is:

Sia
Shawn Mendes
Emeli Sande
Kings of Leon
The Weeknd


That's just looking at the charts, I'd also guess

Sia with Saara Alto
Emeli Sande with 5AM
Shawn Mendes with Matt Terry


I'm thinking the above might be a lot of high profile guests for the show.

I would have preferred Drake, Childish Gambino and some more Craig David?
X Factor's not cool enough to have those 3 preferred acts in the final. They got lucky last year with Craig David and Adele and even luckier this year for Craig to return. If Saara performs with Sia she's won this, which is exactly why I don't think that willl happen.

Also the way Sia is and covers her face, she seems very solo and like she likes to be by herself when she performs. I couldn't see her performing with Saara. Willing to be proved wrong, but the other issue would be that Sia's voice is on another level. Even with the damage to her voice, she'd sing Saara under the table, especially if they perform Chandelier in the reduced key Saara performed it at last Saturday

Really? I love Ghosttown but I don't think Adam Lambert is a huge name in the UK and not an obvious vote puller.

The Weeknd is very much the "man of the moment" like Ed Sheeran was two years ago so I think 5am would seal victory if they manage to snag him for the duet.

I like the idea of BR (but it's one of those songs that shouldn't be covered in my opinion) and I've heard STL too much on this show already.

Yeah, if 5AM get The Weeknd, that means they are getting the Beyonce/Rihanna/Ed Sheeran push. Adam Lambert is not a big name in the UK, but is kinda popular in Finland (he also dated a guy from there), so I guess that would at least please the Finns. And then there is James Arthur for Matt.

I think these are all good matches.

Aside from Shawn Mendes, I don't know who else would duet with Matt Terry. Justin Bieber? Demi Lovato? I don't know. James has had one of the biggest hits of this year. I'm not a fan but he's in the charts right now and he's on the radio every day. I wouldn't suggest he's being thrown under the bus.

As for Saara, Adam is a great singer but he's so unknown in the UK.

With 5AM and The Weeknd, it's not a set up. The Weeknd is a given for this show seeing as he's huge at the moment and there's no blockbuster act of the same equivalence. I really can't imagine him duetting with Saara or Matt - it just wouldn't work.

Overall, I think they're matched well. But with a duet with The Weeknd, 5AM stand a much bigger chance than I had thought. But if you look at last year, Reggie & Bollie got a much better duet than Louisa.

Either of the two would be amazing! Can't Feel My Face would have the most impact though.
