Oh dear. BAD song to give Andy. No one can sing that song apart from Snow Patrol in my opinion! And he ain't great anyway, so oh dear!!

Rhydian doing You Raise Me Up should be good.

Interesting to see Same Difference doing Don't Feel Like Dancing, I wouldn't have imagined them singing that.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I have to agree with Lea with Andy's song choice - i don't know how he's going to pull it off...a pretty hard song to give him and i just can't imagine him performing this! I can only see Snow Patrol doing it! I think he's in great danger this week of leaving, plus none of Dannii's acts have gone yet...so i have a horrible feeling he'll be going next even though i don't want him too!

All the other song choices sound pretty good!

[LostVoodoo]

Alisha: 'Put Your Records On' (Corinne Bailey Rae)

perfect!

Hope: 'Back to Black' (Amy Winehouse)

NO NO NO! do they even know what that song is about? that is possibly the worst song choice ever, and you can bet there will still be random gyrating

Same Difference: 'Don't Feel Like Dancing' (Scissor Sisters)

yes yes yes!

[Abbie]

ooooo Im looking forward to same differene performance, its something different

[tammyy2j]

I think Andy and Hope have the worst song choices this week so they may be in the bottom two if so i hope hopeless Hope goes

[xXxJessxXx]

Andy has a hard song to sing this week imo its one of the best songs definatly one of top 3 favs and snow patrol succeeded with this song and i think he may have a challenge because his voice isnt that strong.

I think i'm in the minority but i love Rhydian! I hated him at first and i doubt i would ever by his records but he has the most amazing voice and i loved him singing phantom of the opera and last weeks was good too. I think he was be the best act on sat with this weslife cover.

Afraid i'm not liking the groups at all.
I loved Same difference at the begining but whats with the overload of cheese! I love the song they are singing on sat but it will become very caberet and cringy. they should be adutitioning for west end musicals rather than the x factor and hope dont get me started on them. Not a single one of them can sing and together they are a horrific car crash. Why on earth Simon sent home futureproof i have no idea. He will be regretting his desicion this week. Along with Rhydian and possibly nikki (Oh and even poor daniel who left), they were the only talent in the competition.

Hopefully hope will go!

[DaVeyWaVey]

I don't think you are in the minority Jess - i think most people have taken to Rhydian since the live stages have started - I think he's brilliant anyway, along with Beverley and Niki.

Have to agree about Hope - I do hope they leave tomorrow night, as they are my least favourite act if i'm being honest and Simon's face will be a picture if another group of his goes 2 weeks running! Andy is in grave danger though, i think.

X Factor contestant Andy Williams is thrilled at being voted Heat magazine's 'Torso of The Week'.

The 23-year-old said the accolade was a lifelong ambition (wow, thats some ambition ) and he was "completely comfortable" with snaps of his toned physique being posted on the internet.

The news provided some welcome light relief in the run-up to this week's live show, in which he will sing Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars'.

Andy said he is determined to deliver a strong performance this time around as he was convinced he would be in the bottom two in last Saturday's show.

But although he is sure that this week's track is perfect for his voice, he was concerned that eliminated contestant Daniel De Bourg would object to the use of "his song".

The Welsh hopeful became emotional while listening to the single, saying he is feeling the added pressure of doing a good job for his friend.

The X Factor continues on Saturday at 6.45pm on ITV1.
