but if Rebecca is going along those lines, she would have been better off with Ultra Nate "Free" which could make more of an impact.

By:
the problem for the club classic choice for Rebecca is the tempo.
not so much the comfort zone but the fact that it favours the singers who are the more confident performers on the live show. but then again it's a 2 song night,so they all get the chance to pull it back. |

'X Factor' winner 'to rush release album'
The winner of this year's X Factor will release their album as soon as possible, according to reports. The Sun claims that Simon Cowell has pushed the release date forward to avoid the lacklustre sales experienced by last year's winner Joe McElderry, who failed to reach number one in the UK album chart with Wide Awake. Traditionally, winners such as Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke have spent a year working on their debut LP, before returning to launch it on the show the following year. A source told the paper: "Joe was virtually forgotten by the time he was launched this year." |

will be funny if he has a sob story VT about his illness tonight:
X Factor favourite Matt Cardle has laid into contestants who burst into tears to manipulate voters. In a thinly-veiled pop at Cher and One Direction, the outspoken 27-year-old said: “I’m not going to cry for votes. That’s not what I’m about. “Some people say, ‘I’ve wanted it all my life’. You’re 16 years old. You’ve wanted it for a couple of years since you figured you could sing. Try hammering away at it for 12 years.” He also called past X Factors “plastic and naff” for producing winners that did not have their own image and were moulded. Poking fun at last year’s winner Joe McElderry, he added: “Bless Joe, he’s done so well, but I don’t think he’s seen like Paolo Nutini or James Morrison and that seems like it’s because he was on TV. “But the way the music industry is at the moment you need a platform like the X Factor. It’s so hard, people go so unnoticed.” Matt also hinted he felt that winning was his only way to make it to make it in the music biz. |

I have never known a so-called favourite on one of these shows to be so constantly critical of everything surrounding the shows...I really wonder whether Cowell will want someone so critical of his 'baby' to be representing it as his winner!

Not too much info from the sneak peak VT. Loads of dancers/dance routines. Only contestants in it seem to be Rebecca and OD, and it looks like they are definitely a 4 piece tonight (echoes of Take That, Westloife and Boyzone already!!).

few points
one d will be much more effective without zain mistiming every note and standing there with a big turd in his pants show me love would be a v ambitious choice, it is a club classic, but it's v v different from anything she has done before, and will definitely require a bit of movement always a woman is a beautiful song and if it is matt's he's in real luck if matt had such bad larygitisi he could barely sing, he would sail through on a sympathy vote. the same could be said for mary, but she wants to be able to sing, as the way we were could bring the house to tears and get her through. amazing heartbreaking song are the x factor judges trying to open up this comp by prompting matt to keep opening his mouth. cant the guy realise he just needs to shut up and sing and he has won. interesting conspiracy theories must surround this case of cantkeepmymouthshutitis the x factor security is quite impressive, the day before and we dont know the tunes.... |

Had to do a double take when I read Show Me Love for Rebecca. This is an absolute club anthem, never mind classic. Plus it's VERY current if you consider the Laidback Luke/Steve Angello remix about two years back.Every kid in the U.K. will know this one. A real boppy bouncy tune. How it transfers to XFactor, don't ask me!?!?!
I can't imagine it being up her street, but no way she'd take it on unless she was comfy with it. Could be her favourite song of this genre and she might just smash it. Her song choices seem almost experimental, though hardly at this stage of a competition. I've a sneaking suspicion that Rebecca is gonna blow us away tonight. *fingers crossed* [;)] |

Yes I agree a good song Rebecca's chosen. It's catchy and if she can just 'perform' it better and wiggle her hips a bit at least I think it's going to go down very well. |

By:
nick, I guess the main problem with leaking Matt's tunes is the fact that he's reportedly been unable to sing, as it appears most of the leaks come from rehearsals, etc.
On TM, vocal coach Yvie Burnett was asked about the schedule. She said the vocal coaches have 1 to 1 1/2 hours with the contestants on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then they have rehearsals with 3 run throughs for sound checks, etc. on Fridays and Saturdays. She seemed to think that Matt's throat wasn't great last weekend and that he probably made things worse with last weekend's performances and had been advised to rest his voice this week. He didn't sing at the secret gig and has missed rehearsals, although she didn't seem to think there would be a problem with him performing tonight. I imagine he'll be singing stuff he's very familiar with due to lack of rehearsal time. |

Dan Wooton from NOTW has tweeted within the last hour that Rebecca is having a battle with Cheryl over what song to sing tonight, and that Matt can barely speak and has had to stop in rehearsals four times.

I miss every show on a Saturday but just tape it and watch it the next morning. Don't know the result so what difference does it make? |

Like the sound of her other song but I don't think 'Amazing Grace' is a great choice. |

what difference does it make?
it makes none, but now you have gone and your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight |

I just can't believe the hypocrisy of someone who fks up the forum with his silly antics so that it's like a bl@@dy ghost town most of the time now, blocks most of the best forumites (obv not including myself in that) and then comes on the thread of someone he's blocked trying to get involved in just about the only bit of banter going on.
The lack of self awareness is breathtaking. |

Amazing Grace for Rebecca has the potential to be her biggie, if she pulls it off right.

I'm more of a reader than a poster but Amazing Grace is tooooo big a song for Rebecca. She will just be adequate singing that song!

It takes a very special singer to turn this hymn into a popular song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfq1fvxDido If Rebbecca is that singer I will grovel to all her fans like no groveller has ever grovelled before. |
