SO its songs that have been #1 in both the US and UK?

Thats a nice wide one. I like

Sounds good... a lot of songs to choose from so shouldn't be to tough for any of them.

Good theme. I hope they choose songs that show off their voices and not just ones that are popular with people.

So...who's going to get Umbrella?

Which Nelly Furtado Number 1 will Ruth get?

just hope nobody does nay of the previous x factor winners no. 1's- leona?!

I was thinking Sakira. sp? you know who I mean. Hips Don't Lie woman.!

Good theme

What's the betting on Austin getting Roy Orbison's 'Crying'?

Loool nxm

Well theres no excuse for not finding a song that suits them.

I seen that on the Sky EPG for next week.

Not a theme is it, covers just about every genre there is.

Glad they're having the results show on the same night, was getting worried after the last 2 weeks that they would be copying Come Dancing and string the voting out over 24 hours.

Great theme, everyone should get a decent song. Whether they will is a different matter.

So is UK and US #1s

or

UK or US #1's

Yogan can do SoulJa Boy.

Do you mean Eoghan?

Because I am laughing so much right now at the mental image of Eoghan dancing to Soulja Boy

I bet it's UK or US #1s.

That's a bit better if it's restricted to songs that have been number 1 in both but I'm not 100% sure they mean that.

I think its better to give them a wide choice for week one, as it gives us an idea about what kind of act they want to be

I thought they mean songs that are Number US OR UK (?) but maybe its both.
La Bamba, Hips Don't Lie, or Genie In a Bottle would suit Ruth

Yes Daniel is bound to be singing that Brian Adams song, what's the betting every week his song will be one that can be aimed directly at his wife to maximise the sob vote.

They've got to give someone 'Tears Dry on Their Own'. If that was a number one. Sure it'll pop up in one week if not this one.

(Eoghan)
haha i'd vote for him if he does that

I think it will be both UK and US #1s. But Id prefer it to be UK or US #1s.
