    Oh dear god

    Diana said she's gna do something "really different" this week

    Most likely, TRY do dance!

    Haha, if Alex goes this week [which I wouldnt be shocked about happenin since the uk voters are clearly 'tards] would that leave Diana doin a duet with Beyoncé :rolleyes:

    that'd be entertainment!

    Hope JLS go this week, since they shoulda went last week, shower o scobes

    If Alex was sent home, I literally would turn off the telly & never watch it again. I've already turned a blind eye to Austin, Laura & Ruth going, who were clearly more talented, along with Alex, than the others put together.

    Beyoncé is said to be in talks to sing a duet with X Factor finalist Alexandra Burke.

    Show supremo Simon Cowell is reportedly looking to strike a deal with the singer which would see her perform in the final of the talent contest.

    Burke, who last week sang Beyoncé's 'Listen', has become the bookmakers' favourite to take the X Factor crown.

    Alex is the only talented contestant left on the show - I really hopes she wins

    Hopefully for Diana it will be 'who can sing like Larry the lamb.'

    Does anyone not see the similarities between Diana's 'original style' and Christina Aguilera style singing with her yodelling, bare feet, something tragic has happened to me, hurt, messy hair kinda look or am I going mad? She's beyond unoriginal. I'd be amazed if she goes this week... I'm just gonna watch the results from now on I think and get my mam to pray to baby jesus that she gets kicked out.

    Not really. But more importantly, Christina Aguilera actually has a fantastic singing voice.
    Notwithstanding the vocal masturbation that she insists on doing of course.

    Don't you mean just sing? All she does at the moment is emit some sort of nasal sound.

    There is no theme, but the mentor chooses a song and the act chooses a song
    Wonder how it will go down?

    Dannii will probably burst into tears about something relating to song choice. Thank god she's been axed.

    Alexandra to win. Obviously.

    I wouldn't say the rest are not talented though, they are talented and good singers.

    Rumour has it that Robbie Williams will take her place. :)

    Haven't heard anything, I'm afraid. :( It'll be interesting to see what song the mentor picks and what song the act picks.

    Can't wait to see what Diana will screech out.

    There's some crazy guesses over on Digital Spy and Wikipedia.

    I've heard on the grapevine that JLS are doing "Umbrella" and a Westlife song.
    Diana is doing "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne. Not heard about the others yet...

    OMG. That's LOLsome. I'd say Alex would do a great 'Unbreak my heart' as it's a real belter.
    JLS = UMBRELLA? :confused: Oh well, I'm glad because I dislike them.
    Eoghan = YEAR 3000 :eek: Jesus!!! WHY?!
    Diana = GIRLFRIEND. That could be good if she filters out the screeching.

    To be honest... tonight is going to be a disaster... in my opinion anyway... Eoghan singing Year 3000... Busted couldn't even sing that one properly

    Bloody Hell, has Simon Cowell gone mad altogether? Sabotaging his own act, by the looks of it. Those are two horrendous song choices - one of Abba's worst songs (imo) and flippin' Busted??
    JLS might actually make the final 3 now, although I don't know that first song (I'm Already There?)
    Diana might actually do a good job of "White Flag". I will definitely not listen to "Girlfriend" though - hate that song o much. :mad:
    Alex - does it really matter what she sings? She could sing the phone book and she'd still be miles ahead of the rest.

    AFAIK (ie Wikipedia) it's the Michael Jackson song "girlfriend" as opposed to retarded avril lavigne

    He's been telling anyone that will listen all week (i.e. the tabloids) that he thinks Alexandra is the strongest contender and deserves to win.

    If the final is next week, does that mean two acts are going tonight? Or are there always three in the final? :)
