The Sun confirmed this a few weeks ago.

Was the song a hit first-time round?

No.4 in December 1998.

The only two remaining finalists who could really take on this song and do it some justice are Niki and Rhydian. With that said, while Rhyd continues to grow and outshine all of his competitors each week, Niki is fading, the judges comments getting more negative as the weeks go by. Its strange though, if indeed Niki and Rhydian are destined for the final (which if this song is anything to go by, it will happen) then what exactly was the point in the whole 'Hope will not be sent home if Simon's got anything to do with it' campaign?

I can imagine Rhyd singing it, but as they have all recorded it apparently, I think that Same Difference might also be able to do something with. It was a two hander song when Mariah and Whitney did it and I think that's why it might work.

Niki has the voice, but I think she might be a bit heavy handed with her vocals.

I wouldn't have thought that Leon would find it so easy to handle. I suppose I might be wrong, but it seems a bit too much for an inexperienced voice in my opinion.

Obviously, my choice is Rhyd to be singing it as the Winner!

To be honest when I first heard this song years ago I couldn't tell which was Mariah and which was Whitney, and I still have difficulty, so it doesn't have to be work as a duet at all.

The song has been sung both by a solo performer and a duet.

Both options have very good versions out there.

But you do need a Big voice for that song.

Totally hate it, another load of rubbish for the winner, why can they not find a suitable for song for each as not one song will suit them all and the winner could be someone who this is going to sound dreadful by.

I also think it about time they used a song that is not the same old same old LOOK how well I did.

Nope I wont be buying this no matter who wins ..

How long in advance do they choose the winner's song? Anyone know? After the contest has started?

It would be stupid for them to just have a wild stab in the dark with the choice, so I wonder if they pick the song for their likely winner. I'm new to x-factor - Do we have to watch the other finalists perform it too?

If you need big voice they must be expecting Rhydian or possibly Niki to win

Normally last night down to two both will perform the single. Yes they do choose in advance, exactly when I have no idea, but they have to be able to get rights to let someone sing the song, as they dont own it whoever wrote it or a publishing company will own it.

Sorry this one does nothing for me at all.

The best every song for a reality show was Pop Idol One. It was a Westlife song SC nicked off their album as he thought GG was going to win, Evergreen was a great song and now I cannot even list to WL sing it as it really became Wills song.

So there is my ten pence worth on this song.

YUK springs to mind.

Well I think they all expected Nikki to walk this and I have a feeling she was the chosen winner.. ha ha SC et al, along came rhydian to upset the apple cart.

And hey Leon could still win this, and he is hardly who should be singing that song at all.. or Hopeless come to that.

I remember last year when both Ray and Leona had to sing the winner`s single..............it was SO not suited to Ray but Leona absolutely nailed it, and in my opinion she pulled in the floating voters last year. The same could happen this year..............it appears to be perfectly suited to Rhydian`s voice, but not so Leon`s Jamie Cullum meets Michael Buble type voice. We shall have to see

Lets hope whoever sings it and I hope it is Rhydian, as I really don't like any of the others voices.

Not mad keen on the song, but it's clear that Hope and Leon would totally struggle with it. Leon can really only do the Buble-type crooning for want of a better word (witness his much improved performance on Saturday with a song that totally suited his style), and Hope can't really do ANY style of singing IMO. The judges must have decided that the current voting figures for each contestant will remain constant throughout.....maybe.

Very good song !

Not many of the final 5 can carry it ! LOL, I can even imagine some making a mess out of it....

Rhydian could sing it without too much trouble.

Thats a really odd choice of song =S

I think they should get a new song written for them like Shayne did.

That's My Goal wasn't exactly new. It had been written for Westlife.
