X Factor Bond Night

I don't watch the X Factor. If I wanted an evening of semi-talented fools being ripped apart by an evil sarcastic judge, I'd critique my BF's performance on SingStar. (I do follow it on the wonderful Bitch Factor website though) However, the upcoming Bond special means I will actually have to watch a night of Danni Minogue's immobile face.
In an attempt to make the prospect a bit more pleasurable, how about we guess the songs that will be performed on the night? I'm guessing that Bond night will be next week, so that means there'll be 10 "artists" left: so which ten songs do you reckon they'll have a crack at?
A few are no brainers, I reckon: I'm saying For Your Eyes Only, Diamonds Are Forever, Licence To Kill, Nobody Does It Better and GoldenEye will all make an appearance. I can imagine Babs and Mickey will have insisted on You Know My Name as a way of reminding the audience of Casino Royale.
I don't think anyone will dare have a go at Goldfinger, because that's just asking for it, and Die Another Day and Live and Let Die are too weird to perform live. From Russia With Love, The Man With The Golden Gun, Moonraker, All Time High and Tomorrow Never Dies are all a bit obscure.
So my final ten:
1) For Your Eyes Only
2) Diamonds Are Forever
3) Licence To Kill
4) Nobody Does It Better
5) GoldenEye
6) You Know My Name
7) We Have All The Time In The World (probably sung by that bloke whose wife IS DEAD)
8) Thunderball
9) The World Is Not Enough
10) You Only Live Twice
If anyone gets all 10, you win a prize!*

LALD was preformed on Britains Got Talent, By esquire I think it was, But that was no singing.
I would say.
- Goldfinger
- Diamonds Are Forever
- We Have All The Time In The World
- Nobody Does It Better
- Live And Let Die
- For Your Eyes Only
- Octopussy
- Licence To Kill
- A View To A Kill (Band)
- Another Way To Die
Another Way to Die will be performed by Alicia Keys & Jack White on the show, so I think we can rule out any of the contestants having a go.

It's the X factor semi-final next week and no Bond night so far? I know it's all irrelevant now anyway, but I just thought I'd ask.
Cheers

Wasn't the Tommorow Never Dies, James Bond Moby Theme played at Britain's Got Talent with that Dog?
Correct
