As we all know, the X Factor final is fast approaching, which means so are the infamous ‘contestant-star’ duets (or not so much ‘star’ for some contestants....remember when Eggnog Quigg got shafted with Boyzone and Alexandra Burke got Beyonce?).
That was awkward. Although the Beyonce/Burke duet is possibly the best X Factor moment ever.
This years batch of wannabees have been quick to put in their bids of who they’d like to duet with.
Rebecca has gone big declaring “It would be my dream to sing with Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin - but also Kings of Leon.”
We think a Rebecca/Whitney duet would be genius, but not so much Rebecca/Kings of Leon. How about Matt/Kings of Leon?
Cher Lloyd has, not surprisingly, declared she’d love to duet with Nicki Minaj. We think this would actually work. Cher would undoubtedly go overboard with her rapping (and gurning) but it would definitely be a performance worth watching.
Matt Cardle has rather surprisingly opted with Katy Perry.
And rather unsurprisingly, One Direction have picked Take That, which is not beyond the realms of possibility........can you imagine the levels of screaming in the studio if that were the case? Dermot would surely go deaf during the time is takes to sing Never Forget.
Mary Byrne has opted for either Tom Jones or Shirley Bassey - both stellar choices for Mary we think. A Byrne/Bassey duet would be monster.
This of course is by no means who they will actually duet with, but rest assured ITV will bring out the big guns (at least they ruddy well better).
Who would you like to see the contestants duet with?
