This week is the penultimate week of The X Factor 2006. In the semi finals the contestants will be singing:

Ray: You’ll Never Walk Along & Smile

Leona: I Have Nothing & Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Ben: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For & Every Thing I Do I Do For You

I personally am so sick of Over the Rainbow in the X Factor. Rowetta belted it out in the final stages of X Factor 2004, Shayne Ward sang it in last years final and now Leona will make her attempt.

I have no doubt that she will be fantastic, but surely there are enough songs out there that they don’t have to repeat the same ones each year!

A show insider is sure that Louis Walsh will be sure to get at Simon for stealing his winning formula from last year.

He said: “Over the Rainbow is a fantastic song for a talent show contestant. But I’m sure Louis will have something to say about Simon nicking his winning formula from last year. Now Louis is out of the competition, he has to have something to niggle at Simon about.”
