Apparently, he'll be singing "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and "You'll Never Walk Alone". Can't wait.

Two ballads? Thought he might do an uptempo camp number and a ballad.

It's a great song, and he'll probably nail it.

But no doubt we'll get Dannii doing her "fake gush" routine again, over the second & third parts saying Rhydian is singing about her. So roll on the HILARIOUS crying.

He'll nail them, but they've been done before - and I would've liked to see a bit of variation between the two songs. I remember him wanting to sing BOTW a few weeks ago, but Simon banning him - because it wasn't a love song, if I remember rightly, fair enough in Love Songs week, anyway that probably means he's picked it this week, and is comfortable singing it - as Leona sang it last year, I wonder if there'll be another comparison? (Hopefully in favour of Rhyd - nothing against Leona but I prefer him - plus it would be very unexpected!)

I wonder who picked YNWA, it's not their own mentors this week, is it? It wouldn't make complete sense as the mentors choose most of their acts' songs anyway. It's been done by G4 and Ray, and by Jordin on AI - I also get the feeling that the concept of singing it in an operatic style's pretty established (probably the same as BOTW actually, as I remember Katherine Jenkins describing it as an ideal song choice in an article once).

Anyway, let's hope if these are true Rhyd will do as good a job with them as he has with all his big ballads, and indeed everything he's tackled so far. and that as there's little variation in his songs this week, there'll either be more of a variation in the final (because he will be there!) or it'll be one big flamboyance fest - after all, he'll have to do the big ballad winner's single anyway

YNWA has been sung in an operatic style (notably by Mario Lanza).

Thanks I did look on there, but it is so badly designed I can never find what I'm looking for

Thank you, Chi!

Glad Rhyd's songs are confirmed !
Really looking forward to hear them.
SD - like the songs, loove them to bits, I hope they stay because they deserve to.
Niki and Leon- no suprises there, playing to their style again.

Didn`t Tony Bennett do The Very Thought of You ? It should suit Leon`s voice. Love both of Rhydian`s - my only small gripe is that both are very similar but he should pull them off brilliantly. I would say Niki or SD could be in danger Saturday.

oops sorry just read the comments above!!!

great choices for Leon (my fave)
Rhydian's songs too gushy for my liking
Niki - too obvious for me
Same Difference - don't understand them so can't comment

I thought weeks ago that Niki should be singing Eva Cassidy songs. Looks like she's well and truly jumped on the band wagon now.

Well Same Difference and Rhydian are safe. It's not as if they needed the best song choices either. Looks like Leon is the chosen fall guy this week.

singing songs that have been performed by nat king cole and marvin gaye before could be a bit out of his range

They are big songs, Rhydian's yes, Olga (morning, BTW!).
But they can't give him "The Prayer" , it seems, they thought it's not good enough
I like SD's songs.
Niki- hmm, depends- if she pulls them off... If she goes on bum notes in the upper scale, she might go..

Don't agree - Leon's songs are fab

Some Rhydian fans will be getting bored with the lack of "campness" in recent weeks

Niki for me is in trouble cos I don't think she has the fanbase that the other 3 have
