I'm not a fan of Matt (but I think he's ok), but I can't see why he should sabotage his chances of winning by choosing someone as dreary as James Arthur to duet with.

Great news for Matt to have the 1D fans on board and the Larrys will go insane at the thought of Harry and Matt singing together.next best thing to Larry Stylinson for them .
was excited about 5AM getting the Wkend but this is even better.no disrespect to James Arthur but the 1D -Harry Styles fanbase is massive.![]()

Now what if Saara had chosen to sing with someone like Sia, whose video for Chandelier has been watched billions of times on YouTube - would that have been a farce as well?
As I said, I don't agree with the duets full stop. However, no it wouldn't have been a farce had Saara been singing with Sia as she's obviously a fan of her music having already performed Chandelier twice and Alive as her sing off song in week 1. No one is going to convince me Matt is a huge fan of Harry Styles and has always dreamed of this duet. It's simply a way to get him more votes. |

She didn't though did she. You can always say 'what if' but the fact is Saara wanted Adam because she's always been a massive fan and didn't care about his popularity.

Personally, I'll vote for Saara if I prefer her performance on the night, even though I think Harry is cute.

To be fair, it wouldn't look too good if Saara got Sia as a duet partner and she decided to wear a wig that covers her eyes or even insisted to sing with her back turned towards the audience (that's how Sia frequently performs).

Someone just tweeted on Twitter: 'If Matt Terry wins, I know it's a fix from the start. All thanks to a friend who had a convo with someone on a train.' Hmm, interesting.
Maybe they want Matt to win after all, I mean obviously he was asked by the producers to audition, Matt even admitted it himself. Now he'll get all the 1D votes. BUT 5am still have The Weeknd who are HUGE. I'm not sure though, I think the young people who are into this show are more into all this pop stuff. Saara has Adam who not many people here have heard of or know any songs by him. |

i wouldn't look too much into this...
i was listening to capital, and they briefly mentioned this alongside all the other rumours of potential duets. if this had been anywhere near confirmed, i am sure Matt still wouldn't be drifting further and further out to win..... now 5/2 Also, is it only me, but matt and Harry would be awful together |

What are you all on about? At least Saara got to sing with her idol? Um, they tried to get Matt with Sam Smith (they would have blown the roof of) but it didn't work out.
So you think it was fair that 5am got The Weeknd and Matt got James Arthur who's already performed on the show? As long as it manipulated for Saara, it's ok. |

These duets are shaping up to be really good! Harry Styles seems a much more interesting choice than James Arthur. As for Saara, she wanted to sing with Adam, if she wanted to be smart she should have expressed a desire to sing with Lady GaGa as some of us speculated, it was a real possibility.

For a number of years it has been openly acknowledged that producers approach acts to enter, it doesnt make it a fix, they all have to be voted on by the public Frankly I have not heard of the weekend, I have seen Adam Lambert with Queen and he is incredible, Harry Styles is nothing special, Matt would outsing him. |

Saara's had an amazing run, but it's now finally time for her to be thrown under the bus to get the Matt/5am final 2 that has been scripted and predicted by virtually everyone since before the live shows even started. Saara will be on first with a crap song- maybe they will bring back Che's burger from last year?

Are you saying that Saara has made the wrong choice with Adam ?
I disagree, they'll be a perfect match & if they sing one of Queen's classic songs like The Show Must Go On, it will be a fantastic performance & I for one is looking forward to Saturday ![]() First of all, it is to be commended that Saara has chosen to sing with someone she truly admires. On the other hand, this is a competition and I don't think she's been savvy enough to pick someone who is more popular with the public and would pull in votes. Adam just isn't a vote puller in the UK outside of a few niche, hardcore fans. But then Saara hasn't done anything by the rule book this series and has found herself in the final, so who knows!? |

Rylan just was giving final exclusives in relation to the final on Saturday
There will be a performance from a yet unannounced artist, which will be an exclusive. The Weeknd, Little Mix and Kylie Minogue will be performing. 2 X Factor winners will come together for an incredible duet One of the confirmed acts to perform on the final will do a duet with one of the acts. The final contestants will be having a mentoring session with Kylie Minogue this week New song choices. Saara will perform a "Eurovision Classic" song which her European fans have wanted her to perform throughout the live shows. 5AM will take on a RnB Dance anthem performed by an all time great RnB male artist Matt will perform one of the biggest songs of this past century, which was sung by one of UK's biggest female artists EVER The winners single(S) are not what people will expect, it is different from previous winners songs - Rylan described it as a Radio and streaming hit! |

Since Simon supposedly fell out with Harry over his record deal, I would take this with a pinch of salt, of course it might happen thought!

I think harry is an even worse choice for of duet partner for Matt than James was. However i agree he will get more votes. It's a tactical move, nothing else, as I would have never in a million years thought they'd pick Harry for Matt. It s just not a duet I'm particularly excited to see.
I also think saara singing a Eurovision classic may alienate the British vote. I hope not. |

Adam Lambert will sing whatever Saara wants. He won't limit her to his catalogue or a Queen song, unless that's what she wants.
So as long as the song gets cleared, she can sing anything! |

There was a rumour circulating that Louisa and Little Mix were doing a duet together although I doubt it's true now LM are confirmed to be performing 'Touch' and 'Oops' with Charlie Puth at the final.

Definitely. Anything to be in the limelight! I find it hilarious when she sings when giving her judges feedback...
![]() ![]() And then when did a duet with Sam Bailey she had all the best parts of the song which especially showcased her vocals!! |
