Feature: 'X Factor' Diva Week predictions
Friday, October 16 2009, 17:57 BST
By Alex Fletcher, Senior Entertainment Reporter
After last week's selection of 'Modern Classics' and Robbie Williams tunes, Week Two of X Factor 2009 is going to find the final 11 acts put to the test with a Diva Week theme. There should be plenty of Mariah and Whitney numbers, and possibly even a smattering of Britney for us to enjoy. Just for fun, we've put together our predictions - some silly, some serious - for the song choices this Saturday.
Danyl Johnson
After the furore surrounding Dannii's comments last week, will Danyl shy away from the limelight and go for a low-key number? We suspect not. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if he came out with a deliberately provocative track, just to show there's no hard feelings between himself and Minogue. That could mean Britney's 'I'm Not A Girl...' or possibly, if he was feeling really cheeky, a certain Shania Twain hit.
Song Prediction: Shania Twain: 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman'
John & Edward
The Irish brothers are still dividing the nation, however momentum appears to be swinging in their favour after last week's enthusiastic 'Rock DJ'. Among the divas, belters and rockers they're competing against, the duo's vocals don't stand up too well. So what better choice for the Grimes than a certain diva whose attitude and pop sensibilities have always been more important than her vocals. We're thinking... Britney Spears.
Song Prediction: Britney Spears: 'Oops I Did It Again'
Miss Frank
This should be the week that Miss Frank come into their own. A group containing three divas should be able to blow away the competition if they pick the right song. They are one of the few acts with the vocal strength to tackle Whitney and pull it off, so we suspect that they may have a stab at tackling the biggest diva of the lot. There are hot rumours on the forums that they will be doing the gigantic 'All The Man I Need', which Treyc Cohen performed with aplomb earlier in the competition.
Song Prediction: Whitney Houston: 'All The Man I Need'
Stacey Solomon
It fell to Lucie Jones to take on former X Factor champ Leona Lewis in Week One and it didn't win the full approval of her former mentor Simon Cowell. Maybe this week, Stacey Solomon will carry the Leona baton (she has a new album coming out, you know!) and take on her signature tune. We're not quite sure yet whether Solomon has the pipes to pull it off, but surely not even Mr Nasty himself could find anything rude to say about this Essex girl.
Song Prediction: Leona Lewis: 'Bleeding Love'
Lucie Jones
Lucie has told us that she's going "upbeat" and "dancing" this week, so it's fairly safe to assume that she will be avoiding a syrupy Mariah ballad. She has been photographed carrying a CD of Whitney's fab-u-lous 1985 dancefloor smash 'How Will I Know', which would fit the bill nicely for the Welsh teenager. If she pulls it off, this could be the turning point in the competition for her, but if it goes wrong... Cowell will have her for Saturday night supper.
Song Prediction: Whitney Houston: 'How Will I Know'
Rachel Adedegi
We're not sure if Rachel's celeb lookalike Rihanna is technically classified as a diva yet, so we reckon she should go for the next best thing... a bit of Beyoncé. Adedegi needs a big number after oddly finishing in the bottom two last week, so something like 'Halo', of if she fancies going upbeat and can get Jay-Z to pop along to ITV studios, 'Crazy In Love'. Adedeji sounded like a strong contender at the judges' houses, so she should come into her own this week.
Song Prediction: Beyoncé: 'Halo'
Olly Murs
Olly has promised to show his "dancing and cheeky side" this weekend, so maybe he'll be doing Mariah's 'All I Want For Christmas' (we can dream, can't we?). Slightly more seriously, we would love to see Murs banging on a leotard and giving Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' a whirl. The Justin Timberlake wannabe will get bonus phone votes from us if he manages to shake his booty.
Song Prediction: Beyoncé: 'Single Ladies'
Jamie Archer
If The Afro can make it through Diva week without landing in the bottom two, then it's a fair sign that he's in the competition for the long haul. However, that's a big if, as this theme should put the hairy pub-rocker to the test. Simon Cowell is never one to shy away from an outrageous song choice, so perhaps Afro will revel in the ridiculousness of him becoming a diva and sing the ultimate karaoke classic 'I Will Survive'. We want glitter, hot pants and a full dance routine.
Song Prediction: Gloria Gaynor: 'I Will Survive'
Lloyd Daniels
So can this lad from Wales actually sing? Or is he just a load of floppy blonde hair and a cute smile. We want to see Lloyd put to the test and given the challenge of taking on the ultimate X Factor hurdle - Mariah Carey. Perhaps he could try to out-warble last year's contestants version of 'Hero'. What would be even more impressive is if he could have a bash at her Music Box version of the diva classic 'Without You'. There could be no complaints about his singing if he pulled that one off!
Song Prediction: Mariah Carey: 'Without You'
Joe McElderry
McElderry has become the 'Dark Horse' (copyright Simon Cowell) of the 2009 series after his performance of 'No Regrets' in Week One. The sweet kid from the North of England with the funny teeth will probably be given a sickly number by Cheryl rather than a gigantic Mariah belter. The rumour is that it may be the rather sweet Whitney classic 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go', which will probably suit his relatively soft vocal style. Can he hit that big note at 3.45, though?
Song Prediction: Whitney Houston: 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go'
Rikki Loney
The question with Rikki is less 'What will he be singing?' and more 'What headwear will he have on?' The tearful Scottish singer was one of the weaker performers in Week One, so he's promised to do one of the biggest diva hits of all time. That can only mean one thing... surely not... yup... we suspect Rikki is contemplating the unthinkable by taking on Whitney's 'I Will Always Love You'. If he gets it wrong, then we expect the great woman will put him straight right after she performs on the Sunday results show.
Song Prediction: Whitney Houston: 'I Will Always Love You'
Diva week - i predict lots of diva moments and terrible performances :rolleyes:
Bleeding love is hard to do out of all of them I think.
Even I could do 'oops, i did it again'
hahaha!
I hate Diva Week, theres always more songs murdered than usual.
your not like us are you! swill a few drinks before you watch it? i dont think i could watch it sober :lol:Quote:

Louie was missed
I missed Louie but I'm looking forward to see Whitney perform
Lloyd --> I actually LIKED his version of Bleeding Love. I also like the tone of his voice. Cheryl crying - silly moo.
Olly --> This was my favourite performance of the night, even though I don't know the song. But he hasn't wowed me since his first audition when he sang Superstition.
Rikki--> IMO a poor song choice. Cheryl should have been crying over THIS one.
Miss Frank--> disappointing.
John & Edward--> entertaining, but they can't sing, Fact.
Danyl--> For me this was the worst performance of the night. Firstly, because I don't know the song, secondly, because I didn't like the song, and thirdly because I didn't enjoy it.
Stacey--> I hope she wins the whole competition. She's been a favourite of mine from the start.
Rachel-->nice performance. Her sing-off last week moved me.
Lucie-->not bad, but she can't hit the high notes.
Jamie-->good song choice.
Joe-->he can sing but I don't find him entertaining.
IMO Miss Frank & Rikki will be in the sing-off tonight.
Olly, Stacey and Jamie Afro were the best last night and hopefully will be the final 3
Danyl is a one trick pony can only perform big ballads so far and its getting kinda boring and from reading the newspapers he is very arrogant backstage
All Cheryl boys last night were bad last night imo
Olly was the best performance last night :)
I would love to see him go far in this competition
I would not agree with Simon, the performance of Cheryl Cole was not incredible in my opinion.
I'm actually warming to the twins for their entertainment value... haha
I don't like Rikki, just something about him I don't get.
There's no-one this series that I realllllly love, I fib.... Miss Frank, but I don't think they've achieved their full potential yet.
I agree with you, this time, I can't find any performer to really float my boat. Far better performers in previous years.
Aww no :( I hope RIkki leaves tonight, I feel like Rachel has more to show aswell :)
I was not too impressed by Cheryl's solo performance. Her voice is not strong to carry any kind of song and the whole line up reminded me of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation.
rikki going home was so unfair i think!! .... simon was so obviously going to put him out because him and cheryl are in some "xfactor war";; so that wasn't half obvious!! it's made me angry because in my opinion, rikki was and has been better in his performances!!
also, cheryl saying "john and edward are still here", was bang out of order!
she shouldn't slate them because her act goes out!!
i like john and edward! and i'll stick by that!..
i hope they are here for a long time to come!!!!
Hmmm, I don't think Cheryl made the remark about the twins out of spite though, I think it was genuinely about the standard of their singing, and peformance ability, and for that I agree with Cheryl, whilsyt I like the twins because they do entertain... I would never buy their records because their voices aren't very good.. whereas I would buy Rikki's music, because I did like his voice... I just don't think there was alot more he could've done with it.
I think Rikki reached his potential tonight. He was not a bad singer I just think there are better singers left in the contest.
Why are those little boys still in?
Because they fit that tacky pop star image
Thought Cheryl was fab tonight, is Whitney on drugs or something she was awfull, J & E were better than her!
Whitney was great but I wonder has she really kicked the drugs?
Whitneys voice isn't what it used to be and she defo has some drug issues still I think
She looked odd and sounded really odd when she was on stage, in the VT on Saturday i thought she looked fab, but today was just :eek:
once you smoke crack you never go back!
i had no idea she'd been into drugs and all that.
you could tell
Bobby Brown really ****ed her up. Can't say he shoulders all the blame, but he certainly was the catalystQuote:

She'll only be making the comeback to feed her dirty habit!
TO me her biggest problem seemed her dress! Surprised she didnt trip over in the blooming thing, and the straps at the back were hanging off too! :lol:

Forget the dress, the singing wasn't bad but she could barely open her eyes properly!
That could be due to the amount of botox she had pumped into her face... no part of her face seemed to have any movement ;-)Quote:
