This Saturday's X Factor songs

Six of the eight songs for this week's X Factor were revealed in tonight's Aftermath show, which also showed Eton Road packing their valises and leaving the house on Monday. (Farewell boys, sob, sob. Love you all, mwah, mwah.) The merciless plugging of MOR artists continues apace, with Barry Manilow this week. Christ on a bike. Two of the songs weren't revealed. If the MacDonalds don't get votes from the whole of Scotland for this song, I'll eat my kilt. (Happy St. Andrew's Day to you both, and happy birthday to Brian for two days ago. Twenty now. Old enough, if you know what I mean.)

If we learnt one thing last Saturday, it's that no one's safe, after Ben did two blinding performances and still ended up in the bottom two. That Leona/Ben final doesn't look so safe anymore, even though the bookies still have them as the top two. My ten pound bet on the MacDonalds at 12/1, before the series started, looks less stupid with every passing week!

Theme 1: Barry Manilow
Theme 2: Their own choice

Leona: Could It Be Magic? / Without You (Nilsson/Mariah Carey)

Ray: Mandy / My Way (Frank Sinatra) (Two songs on a stool with no dancing = doomed, surely?)

Ben: (Manilow song not revealed.) / Somebody To Love (a cappella) (Queen)

MacDonald Bros. (Manilow song not revealed.) / Shang-A-Lang (Bay City Rollers)
