Week 6 songs

Lou you do make me laugh - now you're the one arguing it's not about opinions! I think it's your 'opinion' that the music industry view him that way, and I certainly wouldn't agree.

stu

Tell you what.  Have a good look on the net (I'll trust you to be honest) and see how many times you'll see McCartney and Rod Stewart are great singers .... then do the same with Elton.  Tom Jones ..... good singer.  Eric Clapton ...... guitarist not good singer.

but lou they have sold trillions of records something matt can only dream of THATS THE POINT

are you relative of matts lou SOUNDS LIKE IT TO ME COME ON BE HONEST

I'm not sure I've got time to do that Lou and even if I did, not sure I'd trust what I found on the net to make my mind up. Anyway, it's rather a pointless debate as we're not betting on how good a singer EJ is!

fair enough stu you can quit while you're behind and we'll agree to disagree.

Lou is clearly deaf.  Why would anyone go on to net to see if somebody was a good singer?

lol matt being compared to sir ej;UR BONKERS

lou, ffs, rod stewart...

Yep, sorry Lou, I think you've lost all of us on this one...  Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney?!?!  Could you have chosen two weaker singers to compare Elton to?!

I'm not saying they're better or worse - all three have unique voices and to some degree are an acquired taste.  All three are ultra talented and all three have made millions from their undoubted songwriting / performing ability.

But I don't think any of this trio would go down as the greatest singer.

Anyway, it's all just opinions at the end of the day.  Like comparing apples with oranges.  Or in Matt's case, comparing apples with orang-utans!

Rod had a terriffic soulful voice Nick and has an incredible range.  Try belting out one of his songs in the car you'll get nowhere near it.  Very high voice.  Gone now obviously but he aint bad for 65!

"You Wear it Well" ...............aaah great singalong stuff.

Mark E Smith is better than any of them...ah

You'll be saying Shaun Ryder next...  Talking of which, I hope you got on at 10s for IACGMOOH!

1.  Never heard of Mark E Smith

2.  Don't touch IACGMOOH but after chatting with 'Figgy' have had a cheeky £14 to win a ton on Nigel Havers.

"COME RACING"

I'm not sure I'd back him with yours Dizzy

I joined the Stacey craze a little in the end

He'll go down similarly to MES would with this audience I suspect

That's definitely a good shout - on Havers too at 8s.  Those two stand out a mile on personality alone - and both should be good trades later on...

Stacey will go one way or the other - either winning it in a canter or walking out in floods of tears early doors.  Either way a little too short for me at the moment...

Anyway, back to matters at hand - Elton is a god-like pop genius make no mistake!

I'll agree Elton is a pop genius yes.

And a very nice boy too.

ALLEGEDLY!

And he doesnt like rude vile pigs!!

Den

You a scouser?  liverpool fan?

I might be.

Why won't you say ...... had a little story to tell you.

Ooooh i like story's,go on then yes i am.

Nothing much.  I met Jason MaCateer last year and I told him I've always been a big man utd fan.  He was a really nice bloke and said that he plays for the Liverpool vets team and Utd have Denis Irwin, Pallister, Lee Sharpe etc and after the game they all have a pint and get on really well.  Funny how the rivalry goes when you're out of the team and that bit older.

Half of my family are from manchester and most are reds,i think there is a very grudging respect between alot of fans.

Yep true

I hope after this regardless of who wins, what with you wanting rebecca and me Matt you'll still treat me to a pint afterwards!

If rebecca wins forget beer its champers all round.

Ha ha ok it's a deal!

lou only drinks krug or crysal

george what was that classic fall track where they walk into the hacienda in the video?

i am not ramping with stacey because i have had a quick monkey on and i am not going to lay it off; i am just strongly suggesting you all get in because it is an absolute certainty in my eyes, total certainty...

I've only known of three certainties - and two of those lost

what were they mikey

Nick - that was a lame attempt at being witty from me

i am being ridiculous in saying certainty, of course it isnt, i just v v strongly think she will win

nick

My missus watches it (I can't stand it) and wanted to put a pony on Stacey without knowing the odds.  When I told her she was a nutt she thought it a bit skinny so has held back.

eat yourself fitter gb

lou - i cant stand the program either and wont watch it = even though there's money to be made from it.

Surely it's got to be even money her lasting the pace though?  The public will put her through misery every night with task after task...  The value bet has to be for her to walk!

Can't stand her myself. When she was on X Factor, one minute of her talking/acting scatty and I just couldn't bare her.  Nice singer but how could you have anight out with her?  Worse still a night in!

Fall videos were usually quite amusing nick, if only to see what the latest fanny MES had copped off with. Extraordinary success rate for such an ugly drunken tw@t

Maybe even rivals Lou

The funniest is 'The Mixer'  On tour in eastern europe it seems on a boat with a couple of local prostitutes and a psychopath with a fiddle. Seek it out

Cardle is to not a sing a gal song this saturday. He is going to sing 'a song for guy'. Boom Boom.

Lou Macaris B are you some sort of attention seeking muppet?

It's not an opinion when it comes to EJ being a good vocalist. He is a good vocalist. I don't/didn't buy his records but that doesn't mean that he's not a good singer.

I stumble across a lot of posts from you on X Factor and I really find you annoying at times mate. You always seem to have the obvious view about something when the horse has already bolted weeks or months ago. You can bleat on about Matt all you like. He's the favourite. I don't see any anti post comments from you when he was 5/1. We can all tip up 7/4 shots.

How on earth can you say EJ was not a good vocalist? You're talking pony mate.

Tell me who you think will be evicted this week?

Another cavalry member

Yo George.

Is he for real or just a wind up merchant?

What does cavalry member mean? LOL

does anyone know which elton john songs they are singing, apart from mary...

lou's ok pete, just a little sanctimious and in possession of the most stupendous persecution complex, and trying desperately to protect/ramp his matt bet, which makes him a little irritating sometimes.

the cavalry is his little name for all those he thinks are doing the persecuting...

rumour that chers doing "CANDLE IN THE WIND" PAIGE DOING CROCADILE ROCK

I don't see any anti post comments from you when he was 5/1

Just in the interests of fairness Lou was tipping Matt when he was 5/1 or thereabouts.

to be fair lou tipped matt@9/2

Ok, if that's a fact then fair enough.

Still a ramping bellend though.

Cavalry's come to defend him now

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly.
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy.

But I bet he can spell ante-post. [;)]

g.b you heard anything about song choices ?

Nothing much crab. I sometimes get the order on saturday, but relying on DS and xf updates for songs like everyone else

I'm kinda at the stage where I think it doesn't matter anyway. Roll on the Matt Becca showdown tbh

A predictable few weeks of shrinking the field ahead I think

... and Cowell desperately trying to keep 1D in the game

Lou has, shall we say, something of a persecution complex Pete 

rumour chers doing candle in the wind ..gb

Latest rumour is that she's doing "Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word". Rumours are usually a waste of time, best wait for XFactor Updates.

13s [;)]

QUOTE surprise this week[;)]

Henry/Crab

Thanks for speaking up on my behalf.  I've added to my Matt bet so am now all in at 5.15 so to say I'm tipping a 7/4 favourite is grossly unfair.  Thanks for letting him know.

Cheers

Lou

Song spoilers are out Rebecca sings candle in the wind

cher no chance she is vermin

Decent choice for the fraud.

Ropey, to say the least, for 1d if correct.

Cider

Any idea what Matt's supposedly doing?

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the rumour.

Matt goodbye yellow brick road

Hope so but the there's so many good Elton ones I suppose any one of about 10 would be good.

just confirmed rebecca candle in the wind;def fav after show 2m nite

stroodle weres link on Rebbecca doing candle?

hope its not tiny dancer

Mostly awful

But I think that's a fair reflection of Elton John songs

Don't know Mary's. What that like?

Mary's not bad .... you'll know it when you hear it but not one of his real classics.

No dltsgdom.
tbh the single artist theme makes it pretty narrow. ej has a distinctive voice so direct comparisons are inevitable so tough for the serious players to pull it off well, imo.

marys can you feel the love to night lou ..lion king number

Yes so I hear .................. not one of my real fav's.

I like

YOUR SONG
DANIEL
SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT
CANDLE IN THE WIND
GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD
ROCKET MAN

And I like PHILIADELPHIA FREEDOM

Warning! Warning! Danger! Danger!

I smell rapping. Approach with caution.

Cher Lloyd – Mashup of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word and Mockingbird

sad songs sayso much crab sad

not a great song for 5 directions?

I like it cj personally - but guess we'll see in time. Think it could potentially at least bring out a bit more of a ballad performance that I think they need.

make or break time for Cher

Is it not a wee bit unfair giving someone "Candle In The Wind"?

Certain fav after that, as soon as you hear the 1st note pile on

also be suprsised if that isn't the pimp slot either just to double the effect

i beg to difer i cant see it going down that well

Rebecca gets the best song - but the layers will still find lame excuses to oppose her

Not sure if thats the best song considering its association, I dont think Elton week would suit Rebecca on most songs with her voice, but would imagine she must be fine with this song or they would have given a less meaning song for the show, possibly a last slot with this song.

People really think they will give her that song and then not push her to the max after the performance - good luck with that one Rebecca layers.

Ramping only works if it is somehow commensurate with the performance that has gone before.

So, Keane did a cover of Matt's song choice.

Songs should work well for both Matt and Rebecca, but Rebecca's will go down best with the judges / public and I expect she'll be favourite after tonight's show...

I think Matt should do okay - it seems like a pretty safe song that should fit in with his girly voice.  Rebecca's song is a more risky choice, but if she can get it right she will probably be favourite.  I don't think the judges will want to say anything too negative about these two as the show is looking increasingly like a two-horse race.
