Theme weeks this year..Favouring the over 25's?

Firstly we had rock week which obviously favoured the over 25's now we have Queen week..Its no suprise the year Simon gets the over 25's we get theme weeks which are best suited for them

Why do you think it mostly suits the over 25's? Cant under 25's sing rock or Queen songs then?

And what about the year when Simon had the over 25's before.....was it all "favoured" for his acts then?

Just because the overs are the strongest voices, doesn't mean that the themes are favouring them, just that any theme that is picked - they will rise to the challenge better than the other dross.

Please as if the Diva theme was suited to Olly and Jamie. (They both did great that week though.)

so what was "we will rock you" then...only one of queens biggest hits, thats what... the overs had to endure diva week..and big band week and every other pathetic themed week that didnt suit most of them..so whats your problem with queen week..as everyone keeps banging on about acts having to versatile whats the problem.... to me themes are pants because i dont want to hear a rocker singing whitney houston or a diva singing slipnot.. themes dont work for any of the contestants..they all have weeks where they are out of their comfort zone... this week it may be Stacey and lloyd out of their comfort zone. like the others they will have to deal with it!
