Eaton Road might struggle i think.

I have a feeling I won't be liking "Tracks of my tears" when Ben's done with it (No offence, Ben fans)
Something else that's quite scary....I had a dream I was singing "Dancing in the Street" on The X Factor...and now the Unconventionals are

Thanks Glenski

I'm amazed at Nikita doing 'heaven must have sent you'. It's one of my favourites and one of the most underrated songs of all time.

I actually like all of the song choices except for Rays.

Didnt Shaun sing Ben last week?

Should be a great show, i like most of them songs.

The only one i dont know is nikita's, but she sounded pretty good on the sound check

Peter Cox has done the best version of "Tracks of my tears" imo. Be interesting to see how Ben gets on.

All in all, some good choices there.

yeah
67890

Thought so. Thanks. Hopefully we will get the full versions of the songs with it being a 2 hour show.

Great song choice for Leonna,she could steal the night i think!Not liking Kerrys choice,one of Stevies worst songs i think,and pretty forgetful!Same for Rob,i think he will be going on Sat

Dont agree with You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. One of his best is you ask me. No Idea how Kerry will cope. Should be safe.
I agree that all night long might not go too well though

Eaton Road sounded awesome in their rehearsal though.

I think Kerry should be able to cope with that song, not easy to sing mind you due to the key changes, not being in the usual places as most songs have them in the bridge or middle 8, but she must be confident to choose it, they werent told what song to sing, it was a free choice.

But Rays' choice of Jacko's "Ben" he could struggle with those high notes, not unless he has got very tight underwear on....

Eton Road will be first off....

Dont think so. They sounded decent in the rehearsals.

Eton Road won't be voted off first, but they won't last very long. I thought that their rehearsal sounded pretty average.

Surely it is "Heaven Must HAVE sent you"?

Does anyone else think that theres a chance that Leona and Nikita could suffer from the same fate as Brenda and Maria did last year?

That they share a similar fan base which means split votes. Which could lead to ones early exit. I hope not.

4Sure an The McDonald Brothers better pray to be good tommorow.

Kerry an The Unconventionals should be good.

I hope so anyway.

Hmmmm. maybe, I can only go by my own personal experiences.
Maria had an awesome voice but no personality imo. Brenda also had a fantastic voice AND personality but no X Factor . Leonna is like Maria, she has the voice, the look but unfortunately no personality whereas Niktta has the voice, personality and X Factor IMO. Therefore I don't think Nikita will suffer the same fate, at least I hpe she won't

never liked this song even when Jackson sang it - should have sang Got to be there and only Like Stevie Wonder songs when he sings them - think most of the choices are poor really - would liked to have heard some Four Tops and more soul classics than All night Long...

Would liked to have heard

Ben sing What Becomes of the Broken Hearted (Jimmy Ruffin) or It's Wonderful To be Loved by You
Rob sing Stop her on Sight by Edwin Starr
Eaton singing Behind a Painted Smile by the Isley Brothers. Kerry Stoned Love or Remember Me
4Sure - Still waters run Deep .
Ashley - I'll pick a Rose for My Rose
Nikkita - Automatically Sunshine

..think Motown should be bout the classics..

(love Motown)

Thank you for the info and will look at your site

I like Motown but i am not impressed with the song choices. Hopefully it will be better to watch them.

The only song choice i'm excited about is watching The Unconventionals sing.

I was starting to feel a little worried with Ben and his song choice but then I saw Michael Macdonald singing it and now I know that Ben can do a wonderful job, they have a same kind of voice and singing ways.
