But the stars, who hit number one with the duet Especially For You in 1988, will not perform together.
Minogue will sing with finalist Leon Jackson, who is being mentored by her sister, Danni. Donovan is to perform with Simon Cowell's Same Difference.
Meanwhile, opera singer Katherine Jenkins will duet with the bookmaker's favourite, Rhydian Roberts.
Hopefuls
Ladbrokes are offering 1/3 odds for Roberts to win, Jackson is 7/2 and Same Difference are 6/1.
An ITV spokesperson said the songs each performer will sing will be confirmed later in the week.
The fourth series of the show began in August with thousands of hopefuls auditioning.
Dermot O'Leary was introduced as the new host, while Danni Minogue joined judges Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
The X Factor final will be broadcast live at 1915 GMT on Saturday, and the results will be unveiled in a later show at 2135 GMT.
The prize is a £1m recording contract.
Last year's winner, Leona Lewis, is currently at number one in the UK singles charts with Bleeding Love.
Now that sounds like an interesting combination, might have to record this as i'm going to be out.
im so glad niki has gone, i was so sick of hearing her sing ballads afr=ter balads every week. oh and not to be heartless but shes not the first person in the world to lose a parent and she certainly wont be the last. at the start when it was mentioned it was a nice story but then it got to the extent she was using it as a publicity stunt to get kept in,
whats the odds that if she won her album would have been dedicated to her dad
They should bring back Michael Buble for the final and have Leon sing with him.
Jason Donovan is a has been whats the point of him being there and being paired with Same Difference :thumbsdow
Kylie singing with Leon i can't see why okay they will be the same height probably :thumbsdow
Rhydian singing with a fellow Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins how predictable :thumbsdow
I agree i think no matter what their personal back story is i.e. Nikki's dad dying, the bullying of the girl from Same Difference its about singing only
I think Rhydian will win i would prefer Leon to win
I think they could have picked better guests for the final. I'd like to see Leona, Shayne Ward, Take That, Westlife or Michael Buble back.
yeah i cant agree more why put the best guests in earlier on in the show then in the final kylie minogue and has-been jason donovan (he looks like an old man now)
X Factor Final Songs Revealed!
Thu Dec 13 12:50PM by TV Editor
The song choices have been revealed for this year's X Factor final! This week there's a Christmas theme to one of the choices, plus the contestants get to pick their favourite from the series so far. So, what have we got?
Well, Same Difference are singing Mariah's classic All I Want For Christmas Is You and Breaking Free from High School Musical. Their festive choice is an incredibly popular song (it's back in the Top 10 at the moment) and the energetic feel will suit their style. The HSM song was a big success for them earlier in the series and, as we know they are very popular with younger viewers, this is a very clever choice. The pair will also duet with Jason Donovan on Any Dream Will Do. Another very popular track - let's just hope they ditch the kiddies with the fake candles this time around! Vomit!
Meanwhile, Leon is singing White Christmas and You Don't Know Me. White Christmas is the most successful Christmas song of all time and it will definitely suit Leon's crooning style, while You Don't Know Me won the judges over several weeks ago and helped him secure his place in the competition. He's also performing a duet of Better The Devil You Know with Kylie Minogue - this will be the swing version of the track first performed on An Audience With Kylie. Singing with such a big star is likely to get Leon some extra votes.
Finally, Rhydian will be belting out the Christmas classic O Holy Night - this song will suit his voice perfectly and there won't be a dry eye in the house. Expect a standing ovation if he pulls that one off. His own choice of track is Somewhere - again this was very popular with the judges when he first performed it on the show. Our personal Rhydian highlight of the series was his version of You Raise Me Up and he'll be performing this on the final with Katherine Jenkins. It had the audience and the judges on their feet last time, will it do the same again?
So, there you have it. Leon's choices are very safe - perhaps a little too safe for an X Factor final? We think this final is between Rhydian and Same Difference and it may be closer than people think. They're both such different acts and both have such different fanbases that it will be a case of fastest fingers first with viewers on the phonelines.
Why are they singing songs they've already sung?, they need to do something different. Perfect choice to have Donovan with SD, both can't sing, both are cheesy and both will do anything for the spotlight, I mean Jason Donovan and those Iceland adverts, please..........
not trying to be funny but if SD cant sing why do you suppose they are in the final 3, having beat nikki, beverley and the rest, cant be doing such a bad job - can they?
I am not a great fan of SD but to be fair to them, they are the only ones singing and dancing, which is not an easy feat. I think there is a market for them given the success of HSM. Think they will get my vote this week. I am also sick of reading (on other forums) how it's not right brother and sister singing love songs, anybody remember the Carpenters!! - SD dont sing to each other lovey style, don't hold hands etc.. honestly this world has gone completely bonkers.
Leon and Kylie, well we all know who could organise that
yeah i know exactly what you mean ive read on other sites also that people think they are incestuous, and undertandably they are upset by this. Like you said there have been the carpenters and also the corrs and im sure there have been more. so what they sing love songs they have to sing songs to a, suit their voices and b, what the audience knowQuote:

Anyway I do like the song choices, think it will be a really good week
May be off thread, but watched Sharon Osborne on Graham Norton last night,talk about Pot and Kettle, like she has had no surgery done (sharon that is) and what is she famous for (Sharon again) marrying Ozzy, that reality TV thingy and managing his band, her credentials in the UK are not that great, so to take a swipe on TV at Dani was way below the belt and I hope she is unemployed after that, BTW am not a big Dani fan but SO was totally out of order.
sharon's never pretended that she hasn't had surgery, but she likes to wind up people who obviously have and pretend they haven't. and considering Sharon, Simon and Louis all have histories of successfully managing big groups and selling lots of records i would be a bit annoyed that some second-rate popstar got to join the judging panel.
Sharon can frig right off the silly moo! ive gone right off her this series!Quote:
Sharon Osbourne has blasted fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue for only being on the show because she looks good.
The outspoken panellist launched a scathing attack on her co-star, claiming she only landed the job because of her looks - and because Simon Cowell fancies her.
Ozzy’s wife also mocked Dannii during a comedy sketch on The Graham Norton Show. The pair have been seen feuding for weeks on The X Factor, with rumours of bitching behind the scenes.
Sharon said: “She is younger, she is better looking and he (Cowell) does want her and he doesn’t want me - thank God,” she laughed.
After her outburst she fell about in fits of giggles and said: “I’m going to get into so much trouble.
“I’ve waited weeks to get my own back. I’ve had to keep it shut week after week while every week she pummels me in the press.”
Sharon said past comments made by Dannii had upset her, adding: “I’m not angry - I’m hurt.”
Sharon’s verbal attack will add insult to injury for Dannii in a week when her new single failed to chart in the UK’s top 20.
Tension has been brewing for weeks between the two female judges. Kylie’s sister stormed off last week’s programme after an argument with fellow judge Louise Walsh.
Constant bickering means The X Factor is rarely out of the headlines. In October Sharon walked out of the ITV show after two of her three acts faced being sent home. She said she couldn’t choose between them and stormed off.
Louis was famously sacked from the hit show but was invited back months after.
After watching the acts perform 3 songs each. Rhydian has got to win it hands down. Same Difference sang better than I expected them to but they're still not in his league. (Voodoo step away from the phone). I know I should be supporting Leon because he's scottish but I just feel that the songs he has been singing in the competition have just been two old fashioned for him and that has let him down. Rhydian was brilliant Simon was right that he has been the only act throughout who has been consistently brilliant. The rejects were fabulous as always. As for the judges is it just me or have Danni and Sharon avoided eye contact with each other all night. I bet you can cut the atmostphere with a knife in the studio tonight.
OMG I love Kylie's new song!
oh that was pathetic! im shocked! rhydian was in a league of his own! leons recording of the new song was drab!!
Wow I really am shocked that Leon won, I havent seen them sing cos I was at work but caught the results.
Congratulations to Leon, I honestly thought Rhydian had it in the bag but I know we haven't seen the last of the welsh wonder.
TBH i think rhydian will have the better career, i bet leon isnt around for long!Quote:

I am sooo glad he won! :D
Wooo . . :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
i agree sooooooooo glad leon wonnnnn :cheer: :cheer: yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy woooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo:thumbsup:Quote:

Not in Phantom or Les Mis, maybe something like Blood Brothers? He'll have a good career, i think, just probably not in the pop world. He's still fab though.
I think Leon will be very similar to Shayne Ward, though. I think he'll have some big hits, but generally get overshadowed by Leona.
a very big congrats to leon you did us fellow scots proud. ill be supporting him and buying his single,
totally shocked when it was announced leon had won i thought it was a dead cert that rhyd had won, so glad he didnt (hate that guy)
Well that was a shock...the only bigger one would have been if Same Difference won.
I think Leon will go the same way as that Steve guy who won a few years ago....one single then no one ever heard from him again. I really don't think he has the staying power that Rhydian has. Although i do agree with a lot of the comments about "The Riddler" being better suited to theatre rather than the pop world. He'll do well whatever he does though I think.
Absolutely I would have bet my wages on Rhydian winning it, then in the last 5 minutes I began to think maybe Leon might just grab it. Rhydian will be more successful I feel, Leon's a nice guy with a good voice but he doesn't really stand out for me, he's just another Micheal Buble, Rhydian now he's something completely different, he has the X-factor. Im just relieved SD didn't win.Quote:

I agree with Johnny Allen and Rain about Rhydian having more about him and staying power than Leon. I think Leon needs to develop a personality pretty quickly, if he is going to make it.Quote:

Well done to Leon, I was very surprised but I am pleased for him. Rhydian will do well anyway, I am absolutley chuffed that SD got third, would have hated it if they had won.
I totally agree Leons version was better and Ive never really liked Rhydian cos I never thought he suited that environment, like you said he belongs on stage.Quote:
