I misread that and was still wondering who Louis was eyeing up to sing with the boys at the weekend
![]() After having read replies it appears there is some guy called Weeknd? Never heard of him. Adam is a different calibre to anyone that has ever been a contestant on XFactor, I hope Saara doesn't drown in the background, really looking forward to seeing him

Drake - the biggest selling artist in the world - only 'just about cool' for you?!!! At least you admit this is purely about your personal sensibilities, but I promise you there is a vast range of music that people are into, and you're right at the far end of just one spectrum! After all, we're talking about the XF - the show who thinks it's totally OK to do My Heart Will Go On for the millionth time, or where Disco, Motown and Louis Walsh's cheesy picks are the height of entertainment. This is Saturday night TV we're talking about, not an R&B/Urban music gig! Adam Lambert will do very well, in this setting, and any 'cheese' in the performance will likely be exactly what the audience wants!

Well, quite - anyone who is really looking for 'cool and edgy' probably wouldn't be looking for it in the XF in the first place. Most of the audience will think that Adam Lambert is quite cool and edgy ... I mean a lot of the audience would prefer a Micheal Buble duet to Drake

I wasn't really looking forward to the final this year to be honest - not keen on Matt or 5AM at all and I don't think Saara will win. But now I can't wait since hearing that Adam Lambert will be on.
I love him - he is the best talent show contestant ever and it was a joke when he didn't win on American Idol. Saara must be thrilled to be singing with him. I don't care if he is cool or not - he is a great singer and will make the show worth watching. |

Saara has a history of coming second in Finland and Adam came second in AI. Hope it's not a sign.
Saara should definitely win XF but you could have said the same for Adam in AI. Unfortunately he didn't get the votes on the night. I hope Saara's fans aren't complacent now she's the bookies favourite and vote more than ever this weekend. Can't wait for Saara's duet with Adam. Two amazing singers / performers. |

![]() I don't know what the success stats are for winners vs other contestants for X Factor or American Idol, but plenty of successful acts have been runner ups too. |

I wonder what Matt will sing with James
![]() To me, James sings like he's in pain and I can't see his voice complementing Matts. Never heard of Weeknd ![]() Sara doing 'Who Wants To Live Forever' with Adam could be amazing

Or maybe hope it is a sign? Historically in Finnish talent shows coming second was the real win - to the point that Idols (local version of Pop Idol) contestants openly admitted at the finals or semi-finals that they don't want to win.

This is true and I'm sure she has an amazing career ahead of her whatever the result but she deserves to win and I'd love to see her reaction if she did.

All this talk about people not knowing Adam Lambert is a bit silly. He performed with Queen at the New Year's Eve show the other year which was watched by around 10 million viewers. It's not like he's a nobody.

All that said I do think of all the duets, it's this one that has the most potential and I think st the very crux, it's this that will have the voting pull not neccassarily the partner themselves. |

It was mentioned there's rumours the song will be Who wants to live forever and Queen might be making an appearance. They have form for coming on the show, I wonder if they would do that for Saara?

They really do then give her the most challenging songs.
I LOVE Queen, and Who Wants to Live Forever, and I think saara and Adam could put on a really memorable performance with it. It's such an incredible song, doing it well will send chills down everyone watching. |

It's possible Queen, or Brian May at least, might join Adam and Saara on stage- and they are fairly well known.

Who wants to live for ever could be such a moment. Also 'the show must go on'. That is such a number

i liked him on AI, he was robbed that year and probably one of the two worst decisions i have seen on talent shows as far as who won the series, but not sure i would describe him as "edgy or cool" especially given more people probably know him from having been on Glee than for his music
![]() ![]() I think he's a great duet choice for Saara and I imagine an absolutely storming performance that will steal the show |

There's a difference between someone being cool and popular. Katy Perry is popular but she isn't cool (for instance). Edgy, isn't really a thing in underground audiences but in popular music I think audiences have become a lot more comfortable with underground influences (look at the rise of Diplo for instance). Converesly Adam's music falls into the Kelly Clarkson/Pink/Mother's Day gift category (not that there's anything wrong with those artists or music types). If you took the time to read my post before wearing out the exclamation point on your keyboard, you might have noted that I said it likely doesn't matter. I recognise I'm coming from a mid-twenties, postgrad sort of peer group so my music taste will be partially connected to that. I also said that he's talented and seems nice. No offense to him intended, he's just cheesey but, like you said, for a lot of the audience that will be just fine. |
