I know it's not Big Band but this is X Factor. Anything with brass instuments in it probably classes as Big Band for the judges.
Anyway, Fleur says she's doing something that's never been done on X Factor before...
Big band to me is that jazzy style type of music... It doesn't have to be an old song... But its the style... So candyman and mambo #5 counts, but not bang bang or crazy stupid love...

Yes I know obviously What I'm saying is the chorus sounds like it'd suit BB week but obviously it wouldn't sound exactly like the original. I agree about CSL.

Oops I didn't realise by the title this was song suggestions. (I made a thread for suggestions rather than predictions though )
Jay: Puttin' On the Ritz - Fred Astaire
Ben: Up Above My Head - Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Stevi: Strangers in the Night - Frank Sinatra
Fleur: Sweet Georgia Brown - Pearl Bailey
Lauren: It's De-Lovely - Ella Fitzgerald
Only the Young: You Give a A Little Love - From the film Bugsy Malone
Stereo Kicks: Ain't Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
Why are people suggesting crazy stupid love or bang bang at all...those will never pass as big band songs....
I just listened to Bang Bang on youtube and you're actually right. I thought it was more Big Band-sounding than it actually is. Just goes to show I rarely listen to a song's instrumental.

Trust me...I listen to bang bang enough to know its not passable as a big band song...:p

Would Sam Cooke count as big band? Or Stevie Wonder? The Supremes? Think they would suit Lauren's voice anyway. Diana Ross has a similar "light" voice.
Stevie will be prancing around whatever he does and wearing spats and braces and a hat and a stick on mustache a la Bugsy Malone.

Big band people...big band style of music....
Why on earth is Adam Lambert on next week when this week was Queen v MJ?

Edit: Actually they should do Treasure by Bruno Mars.

As if XF would never stray away from a theme.:D
I suspect the same old songs will feature though: Mack The Knife, Cry Me A River (the usual Buble version), At Last, Moon River, Feeling Good etc.
At least these are all big band songs...
Yes I know obviously
Then why so many suggesting it???...
Huh? Bang Bang or CSL?
I think Lauren could actually be doing 'Cry Me A River'.
