This weeks song spoilers

Poor for matt.
Ok for Rebecca and 1D.

Good for Paije and Mary.

Yes a bit gospely so will suit him plus he must be on later.

Yes don't like Matt's song at all.  Hope that's not his song.

I agree Lou.
If these songs are confirmed it's only a matter of tme before we have a new favourite.

Figgy

Possibly yes.  Poor choice for Matt.

He shouldn't hav started slagging off everyone in the press ;)

YAWN

Greta song for Mary.  Big Shirley Bassey version no doubt.  Great stuff.

Yep, excellent for her.
She'd top the vote if she was on last with this.

Here you go lou.

Absolutely brilliant.  Probably my favourite female singer. 

Quick story.  I bought my Sister two tickets for christmas about 10 years ago to see Shirley Bassey in concert.  By the time the concert came round she'd unfortunatelt split with her husband so I went with her.  It was great to see her sing.  The flowing dress, feather boa, big hair, high heels ............ and that was just me in the 8th row!

It was a truly memorable night she was absolutely fantastic.

Agree it's a bad choice for Matt [:)]

Not sure Mary can do well with any song now though tbh.

1D, Rebecca and Paije have all got good choices imo.

Cher also has a good song but I'm wondering what she will do to it. Surely no rapping in this but I feel the rapping normally covers up the weakness in her singing.

mary is shocking in every department;not just at stocking shelves lol

Benjy

I think Mary will knocke em' dead with that song and Cher's a good singer with the rapping parts spoiling it for her.  Opinions.

I agree Lou.
It's a song she will have sung in the clubs loads of times.
It's also a choice that just cries out pimp slot.
Rebecca and 1D obviously won't get it. Matt's song wouldn't suit the final slot. Katie, surely not.
Wagner and Paije maybe, but if there was a market I'd have Mary as a short priced fav to be last up.

Matt's song wouldn't suit the final slot

olly sang come together in the pimp slot in rock week last year.

in fairness it didn't quite suit it then, but he was still on last.

Figgy

Wouldn't make her 'short priced favourite' to sing last in a bit of a lottery but favourite yes.

Matt also was on last about 3 weeks ago so not his turn again yet i'd guess.

I guess it was his turn, Papa, but as you say yourself it didn't really work.

The last 4 pimp slots? Rebecca, 1D, Matt, Cher?

I wish Matt would sing 'Here Comes the Sun' guitar in hand.  Miles and miles better than the 'Come together' dirge.  Awful song, one of the only ones I'd barely listen to of The Beatles out of everyone they've ever done.  Poor choice and yes I though Olly Murs murdered it last year too.

I'd definitely lay Mary for pimp slot if she was very short.

Expect one of the big 4 to get it again tbh. They don't really have turns.

...this year, at least.

Matt should do 'Working Class Hero'

[;)]

Cher will maybe do something like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHb-BVqI8Lk

If Cher can do Imagine, can Wagner do The Frog Song?

roger

A 'Lennon' only song although they're doing 'Imagine' which is the same thing.

not keen on 5 directions song, but with all of them will depend on the versions they do really

Wagner....Get back/hippy hippy shake/ hey jude

if that's true, would he not be closing the show with those songs?

roger

A 'Lennon' only song although they're doing 'Imagine' which is the same thing.

Yeah!

After which Paije can do The Frog Chorus

Like to see someone do McCartney's 'My Love'.  Beautiful song that's as good as anything he did with The Beatles imo.

Its the biggest pimp rebbecca has had. She has got the only one with a tune. Merseyside will go bonkers.

Who under 50 will recognise this song?

You read it here first Rebbecca goes favourite. If this is true this is the Rebecca launch pad. I have layed Matt off a bit. Matt's song is a poison chalice last year it was a nobble Olly/ Joe to win song. I have been waiting for a reason to cash some of my 10's in. I hope i ahve made a mistake and these are not the songs.

Cher has got the most recognisable song. Not as good a tune though. Could be a good week for Cher.

Who under 50 will recognise this song?

Meant who under 50 will recognise Matts song.

told u all b4 REBECCA is THE CHOSEN ONE

He also gave it to Kris Allen on AI to try and nobble him.
Obviously it didn't work, but it was one of his weakest performances.

Been used a lot in AI - Carly in Cookie's year, then Kris Allen and Crystal most recently.

Not a good song for Matt at all so hoping he does something else.  We've heard that katie and Cher have insisted they do other songs in the past so why can't Matt knowing there's so many fantastic Beatles songs to choose from ask to do something else.  Hope he does or it's a mistake that he's doing it.  Very drab, dull song.

Not sure i am happy with Rebecca's choice,why wont they let her loose on something?

Denman

Yes same old same old for her I'm afraid.  Great singalong song but something more upbeat would have been nice.

Can't see why people are knocking Matts song choice

Perfect for his voice and will give him a chance to move, which he can do judging by his performances in group songs.

The song is a bit on the sexy side which should play well to the bored housewife Aka "Armagnacs missus" which is his key vote audience

Jackson done a version of this which i thought was brilliant

Would have been nice Lou,im sure she will be great but i am just wondering why they wont give her something to stretch that fantastic voice,maybe they think she doesnt need to yet.

If Rebecca does a version based on Eva cassidy she will be thrown out of Liverpool

A1

Even if it's perhaps better than most think surely it's it's hardly the best they could give him?  A bit of a slow, dreary dirge with lyrics that make no sense.  Of all The Beatles vast catalogue ................... that's the best they could pick for him?

Denman

Who knows but not an ideal choice I don't think.

Lyrics that make no sense Lou

Come together right now, over me 

Use a bit of imagination Lou

And as for it being "A bit of a slow, dreary dirge" , listen to the jackson version Lou

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZzZactGQU

Wow are these confirmed?

Rebecca will absolutely NAIL Yesterday....espcially the Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say bridge...this will be special!

Matt lol that's an awful song up there with Hey Jude as stitch up songs.

Cher is the only contender to Rebecca for me worth backing her again with that song...it'll be rubbish but ramped by the judges

Come Together is great for Matt.

it's not an emotinal song tho, funky but never going to bring the place down whoever is singing it....help would have been ok for him

Come Together would have been more suited to Cher imo

I am begging to doubt Matt is doing come together his price is coming in. I am not bovverd I had to aly some of my tens off at some time.

Fortunatley rebbecca is also coming in.

Is there any bad news re 1D. Help is bad for them. Why's that if Simon wants them so bad.

A1

I love The Beatles but this is nonsense surely?



He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

Lou its not as good as that[;)] seriously you maybe thinking about Olly last year, but to be fair Matt is a far better singer, Olly was more of a performer if that helps any

Yes Matt far better singer but awful song isn't it?  Look at them lyrics ...... pure gobbledygook.

you never know it may just suit him on the night, Rebecca is in the same boat singing songs that are really not up her street, never mind we could have a new fav after Saturday...Paije

Mary and Paije got killer songs I think.  Yesterday not brilliant but Come Together!!

'Come Together' is an truly amazing song

....... but back in XFactor world: probably not so good for Matt, no

deejay

Not for me.  Like I said look at the lyrics i posted below.  Pure gobbledygook.

Lou

Rarely have such self-confessed anti-political 'gobbledygook' lyrics been so dissected, interpreted, talked about, and, in the end, accepted as part of the music world's consciousness as those in 'Come Together'. And anyway, the line "one thing I can tell you is you got to be free" impacts that much more amidst all the 'nonsense'.

Also, it's a kickin' tune

So what does it actually mean then? Apart from the obvious (lewd) interpretation of the last line, I haven't got a clue!

. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=191

don't think anyone does really

stu

Exactly.  Deejay's just highlighting the last few words.  What about the other 90% of nonsense?  Decent enough tune but just ridiculous lyrics.  Rubbish.

there are different interpretations of the lyrics.

one view is that each verse refers to a different member of the band, which is quite interesting.

"here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly...." - GEORGE

"he wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football...." - RINGO

"he bag production, he got walrus gumboot, he got ono sideboard...." - JOHN

"he roller-coaster, he got early warning...." - PAUL

if you take the lyrics at face value, and don't read anything too deep into them, then of course they make absolutely no sense whatsoever.  which for a saturday night mass-audience entertainment show, probably doesn't make it an ideal song.

still a decent funky tune though!

let it be is my fav song of all time but paije is a joker and should leave it alone

the y give katie stupid choices that make her befg during the song

over rated the beatles imo

over rated the beatles imo

What about Shakespeare? Do you think God is over rated? (Assuming he exists).

the y give katie stupid choices that make her befg during the song

what does 'befg' mean?

Bund Evangelisch Freikirchlicher Gemeinden

who is this shakespeare u speak of ?

Beatles

The greatest ever for me.  So many wonderful songs.  Youngsters from 14 to 90 seem to know all the words and sing along to all their songs.  Just brilliant.

no youngsters know beatles songs . let it be my fav song but dont fink much of the rest of there songs

dan

I think loads of youngsters know The Beatles songs.  Don't ask me why they just do.  Probably hear then on Muma and Dad's/ Nan and Grandad's radios and CD'S.

i would doubt they do tbh . the beatles are overhyped because they was 1 of the originals. queen have so many better songs

dan

That's in your opinion you mean.

If the beatles only ever caused this to happen they deserve immortality.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQYDvQ1HH-E

In essence pure epicurean philosophy.

lets be honest if u walked round town centres and asked kids around the age of 14 to 16 to name u a beatles song 90 percent of them wud struggle to name u 1

If true then :

Katie .....help
Does not matter what she sings, she is bottom 2 material again.
Although I thought her 'Don't Let Me Down' was rather good.

Matt.... come together
Slow, dull, dirge of a song. Olly Murs sang this didn't he?? Will drift for sure after this.

Rebecca......yesterday
Not sure about this. Could go either way. She should sings it acapella to make it stand out.

Paije.....let it be
Visualising him singing this with a big happy cheesy smile. Just does not suit him.

Mary......Something
She has the best song of the night, imho. However Mary will destroy it if she bellows it out with no emotions.

One direction....All you need is love
This is going to be a bit car crashy. Its going to look uncomfortable and sound dreadful when these kids strain the lyrics out with no conenctions to the words.

Cher......Imagine
Terrible song choice. Must be one of the cheesiest song ever. If she sticks a rap in the middle about loving the world then she is doomed.

Wagner....Get back/hippy hippy shake/ hey jude

You know what you're going to get. However he needs to start doing something different. I can already picture and hear him singing 'hey jude' with the foreign accent of his. Could be in danger this week.

Botttom 2: Katie and Wagner (sorry)

Imagine. great song choice. No rap please.

Paige could get pimp spot and nail this if he does it soul style. If I was dirsting I'd start off
Ray charles style then build it into a belter.

Rebbecca I have bet she nails this.

Extraordinary how most say Come Together is dull. It's a classic. Io reduce subjectivity look how others found it - it was a chart No 1 mega seller, Rolling Stone magazine had it as No 9 on their list of The Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs, and Michael Jackson chose to cover it.

Matt also has a choice of singing it moody or upbeat, not many songs give that choice. It also suits his style.

Rebecca has a tougher job because Yesterday, like last week's Candle, is much more iconic than Come Together, it's many peoples favourite and many people have fixed ideas about it. On past record she'll pull it off though. (I don't think XF would want her to sing it a capella, nor would I as a backer).

Matt must be doing an upbeat version as there are dancers involved

Should see a different side of him and I reckon it will go down well

Lyrics that make no sense Lou
Come together right now, over me 
Use a bit of imagination Lou

Could be double entendre but "Come Together" was the slogan for druggy Leary's bid for governor of California:

CHER GETS PIMP SLOT AND WATCH HER SING IMAGINE[;)]

cher is on 4th

I've heard she's on 9th.

What an 'ecncore' figgy?

Make that 'encore'!

No encore. She's just on during the 1st 10 mins of I'm a celeb.
Singing while having various insects dumped on her.

Now that i would vote for1

Seriously though Figgy I think if Cher cuts the rap and she surely will with 'Imagine' I think she's in with a shout you know.

She's just not likeable Lou.
She'll be gone before Mary.

Yes I agree not likeable but wouldn't surprise me if she made final 3.
