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!

Saara - I hope it is "Rise Like A Phoenix" but fear it is Abba's "Waterloo"

5am - Thinking something by Usher....maybe "Yeah"

Matt - Obviously Adele.....I am thinking "Hello"

Not sounding good for Saara.

EDIT - Actually.....I'm betting it'll be "Euphoria" which could be great!

Saara is clearly doing Waterloo then because they've done ABBA week in the past, like **** would they give any attention to anything else Eurovision, they ironically see it as a joke.

Ugh don't like the thought of saara doing Waterloo. Unless she puts her own spin on it and delivers a masterclass like she did with winner takes it all.

Maybe but many - myself included - have said they expect her reprise song to be 'Winner Takes It All'. Is it likely she'd perform 2 Abba songs?

If it is 'Waterloo' I expect her reprise song will be 'No More Tears (Enough is Enough)'.

Not sure a Eurovision classic is the way to go but if anyone can pull it off it's Saara.

While I'm not keen on Eurovision route for saara, I do think she'd smash 'rise like a phenoix'.

Lyrically, it really sums up her X Factor journey and it is a big, showy vote-puller of a song that would allow her to have a real moment. Cheesy? Oh gosh yes, but good cheese!
Waterloo would be a catastrophic choice as it is beyond naff and complete karaoke. It would confirm that producers have not only thrown her under the bus, but reversed right back on top of her.
Euphoria would be an inspired choice, and I could see Saara doing a ballad version of it.

So this is Harry Styles confirmed then, with the first performance of his new solo single and then a duet with Matt

Or maybe James and Leona?

She mentioned during the 2012 series that he was her favourite finalist and she congratulated him via Twitter on his album getting to #1, which made him the first winner since her have a UK #1 album with his second studio album.. He also mentioned on an episode of 'The Xtra Factor' in 2012 that she's his favourite-ever finalist so it seems like a good match.

I also read that they're apparently trying to get her for the final since its a decade on from her victory.

Could you imagine the hype of an "unannounced artist" - turning out to be Reggie n Bollie. I'm expecting if they've booked someone and not revealing who it is, it's a more significant name than Reggie n Bollie, who aren't exactly setting paper alight with their output.

Regarding Saara's Eurovision song, I'd be surprised if it was Waterloo. It's just not a "big" enough song in terms of what she could do with it for the final. I'd imagine it's going to either be Rise Like a Phoenix, or preferably Euphoria.

Damn, 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, that would've been SO good (no pun intended)

Not impressed with any of the guest performers, but then I didn't really expect to be.

Saara thinks a Eurovision "classic" song is appropriate for the final? Did she learn nothing from 6 chair challenge?

She is from Finland, she probably has no idea that the UK thinks Eurovision is a joke. Eurovision is taken a lot more seriously in Europe, especially in Scandinavia.

Exactly. Can you just see her being completely sabotaged and singing Celine's "ne partez pas sans moi" in French? L'autobus se retourne sur Saara!!!!

When did Rylan reveal this?

What an embarassing end to Saara's journey- they must be laughing at her backstage. You can still get some good odds on her coming 3rd, but not for long.

Rise Like A Phoenix whilst a very standard choice for a Talent show to pick because the whole arrangement of the song will be predictable as anything that you'll ever see for a Talent show, it will suit Saara more than Euphoria imo which is a standard Dance track that the original singer doesn't even sing that well live.

And I definitely agree with you on Waterloo being a joke choice.

They may as well just give her the Jemini track and be done with it. Or will they give her a Lordi mask to wear?

Anyone that sung Hard Rock Hallelujah and pulled it off would deserve to win as that was definitely a time where the public got the winner right.

I can't really imagine what style of music they are going to give her if she wins and does an album. Eurovisions greatest hits maybe?

Saara will be lucky to crack 10% of the vote.
