I don't understand Louis as a mentor; he seems to be stuck in the olden days.

Granted, there are many "old" songs, that are timeless and can always be interpreted in a modern way, but the songs Bad Lashes and Girlband sang were very dated.!!!

It was a good pick for JLS - "Boyz II Men", are a classic boyband, whose songs will never be "old fashioned". But, honestly, what was he thinking with the other two....?

I think it's hard to find good songs for groups to sing that are particularly modern because there aren't many successful boybands and girlbands about at the moment. Louis' approach on the show has always struck me as a bit 90s to be honest though.

I am surprised he didn't pick a Girls Aloud song

Don't just blame Louis.

Dannii picked an awful song for Rachel, and Simon picked a crap one for Scott.

It's like they are prepared to sacrifice their least favourites as they've already picked their own winners out of their group i.e. Simon is clearly favouring Austin, Dannii favouring Alexandra, Louis has plumped for JLS and Cheryl seems to be choosing between Laura and Diana.

The others will fall by the wayside.

Even I could pick their songs! Simon should of know that scott's song was a really bad choice, seeing as he's been in the music business for years!

I agree that the groups should pick their own songs. Usually when they are dubious about the song choice, their own performance of the song isnt good at all.
I think Bad Lashes and Girlband did so much better when they picked their own songs.

Bad Lashes should have done I Kissed A Girl, they would have definitely stayed in had they done it.
