What Will They Sing in The Final?

The final will probably have each act singing 4 songs:

One Judges Choice that they haven't sung before
A Christmas Song
Their Best of The Series
"A Moment Like This"

So, what songs will they use for each category?

I'm hoping they won't do a christmas song this year, as the ones they did in the final last year were awful. Andy was just OK, but Shayne and JS didn't fare too well.

Here's Some Of My Idea's, and one's I think Simon is likely to have considered:

Judges Choice:
"The Rose" Westlife
"Pure and Simple" Hearsay
"Superstar" Jamelia
"Hero" Mariah Carey
"Unbreak My Heart" Toni Braxton
"Beautiful" Christina Aguilera
"Survivor" Destiny's Child
"We Belong Together" Mariah Carey

I doubt he would risk it with some of those more up tempo songs. The one in bold are what I think is most likely.

Xmas Song:
"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day"
"All I want for Christmas is You" Mariah Carey

Best of Series:
"I will Always Love You"
"Chiquitita"
"Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest word"
"Summertime"
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

and:
"A Moment Like This"

So hope the MacDs stay just so they will get to sing this (they are the only act I can see being 'allowed' to sing it, and pull it off ).
Great minds think alike AM....I was thinking about this for the final earlier today - I love this song.

It's a beautiful song. I saw David Essex sing it live a few years ago. Sent shivers down my spine I think the boys could really do it justice.

I agree with you for best of series and Xmas song, but "Unbreak My Heart" is a song sung in a very low key and I think Leona would struggle a lot with it.

Yes, I thought about that after I posted, I would agree that she might not be able to pull it off. "Hero" has been sung so often, and he wouldn't want 2 Mariah songs in the final. If he hasn't given her much up tempo stuff before, he's unlikely to start in the final with "Survivor", "Superstar" or "Pure and Simple".

Would love to hear the Mc D's sing Silent Night as their Christmas song. If Ray was in the final, no doubt he'd do a swing version of Winter Wonderland.
