Pauls song might be a hit though! !!
I think Jahmene did it well though
Another female song for Andrea FFS\
Never saw Let It Go coming:D:D:p:p
Giving another contestant the same song as Andrea did in his audition (Try a Little Tenderness) seems a bit
absolutely not.
but Tamara was worse
We agree to disagree on Jahmene then.
But if im being honest and a lot disagree but Trevin Hunte - Listen (Audition) from The Voice US Series 3 smashes Alexandra's out of the park.
He doesn't sing that with any passion at all. He has a good voice, but he just screams the song.
I think they'll be AMAZING with that song!!
Also, as predictable as it may be, I love Ben's choice.........
Andrea Faustini
Listen by Beyoncé from Dreamgirls
Good song for his range and ability, will probably be better than last week BUT is at huge, huge risk of sounding boring, repetetive, diva like and a one trick pony..he has now done diva songs twice in a row... he may lose a lot of fans because of this, unless he truly stuns us with this performance. If this performance is not absolutely stunning then he will seriously dent his chances of winning. He is taking on songs from legendary diva queens of rnb and last week it was simply too big for a his male voice to cope with,,, if the same happens this week it could be the start of a rapid decline.
Verdict: He will break even and perform better this week, but will bore us.
Jack Walton
Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor from Rocky
Not so sure how well this song is suited to his voice/style, but I have seen enough to convince me he can perform this to a high standard. This song won't sound so good if they stray too far from the original version, the lyrics and passion are simply best accompanied by a heavy rock accompaniment.
Verdict: Think he will struggle for the first time, but I think he may get mixed reactions.
Jake Quickenden
She's Like The Wind by Patrick Swayze from Dirty Dancing
Perfect song choice and a very easy song to sing, provided it is not overdone. Will win back a LOT of fans if he can manage not to oversing this song and sing it as it should be sung. In a haunting style and slowly without too much vocal riffing. Save those riffs for the end with the bigger notes.
Verdict: If he listens to my advice he will be catapulted to the top 6. If he chooses to continue to be the 6th member of the backstreet boys and oversing this.. He will end up bottom 3 again and possibly out.
Paul Akister
Try A Little Tenderness by Otis Redding from The Commitments
Bit of a predictable song choice for my liking and a very popular song.. it is so well suited to Paul's tone and capability. Please don't overdo the opening lines with RIFFS THIS TIME! save that for the second part!
Verdict: Not the best song to win "performance of the night" but I know he will sing this one well with few problems.
Girls
Lauren Platt
Let It Go by Demi Lovato from Frozen
HMMM Demi is an amazing singer. I think Lauren is more than capable of singing this. Decent song choice, I think Lauren can do this justice but she has a VERY different style to Demi.. Don't try to karaoke out this song or it will b your worst performance yet.
Verdict: I don't think it will be Lauren's best performance. But she will do a decent job,
Lola Saunders
When You Believe by Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston from The Prince Of Egypt
OK this is make or break moment for Lola this song is absolutely massive, incredibly hard to sing, and a very, very brave song choice. However.. I am deep down hoping she has chosen this one so she can show us all what she can really do. I have only seen moments where she has been outstanding but other times seems to be in auto pilot. This really is not the song to sing on auto pilot. She must NOT try to sing this the same way as Whitney and Mariah did, stamp her own character on the song, really go for it and I am sure this could be her best performance.
Verdict: Lola's best performance so far maybe performance of the night. Lose the nerves now.
Groups
Only The Young
Boom Clap by Charli XCX from The Fault In Our Stars
Excellent song choice, perfect for them.
Top 4 performance of the night.
Stereo Kicks
Let It Be/Hey Jude (Medley) by The Beatles from Across The Universe
Why a medley? lol! "Let it be" would have been perfect if they could bother to do sme harmonies.. What they really want is to end this song with the nanananananan bit at the end of "Hey Jude". I think the first part will be one of their best in recent weeks, but the ending is very lazy and you can just picture them all doing nananannanaan at the end. Cheap shot to do a medley jst for that ending.
Verdict: First part will be good, second part predictable. Better performance from them but not enough to break into the top 6 yet.
Overs
Ben Haenow
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith from Armageddon
Very good song choice for him, this is really the type of music he is suited to. He is no Steven Tyler though.
Verdict: A decent karaoke version of this song.
Fleur East
Lady Marmalade by Pink, Mya, Christina Aguilera and Lil Kym from Moulin Rouge
In major, major trouble. For the third time in a row she is doing a very predictable song choice, don't think the song is gripping enough and shes gnna dance around on stage out of breath yet again flashing her abs again..
Verdict: Again won't showcase any vocal talent... the boredom/ predictabilty factor might start to set in. I think shes in the bottom 3 this week.
Jay James
Skyfall by Adele from Skyfall
lol!!! If, as i strongly expect him to.. he pulls out that nasty nasal falsetto for the chorus, he is in major trouble here, i think he can do the verses ok but I think he will struggle in parts, probably his worst performance.
Verdict : Car crash.
Stevi Ritchie
Footloose by Kenny Loggins from Footloose
Right up his street.
Verdict: Funny.
That's uncannily close to my thoughts on this weeks show, great post.
Boom Clap is their chance to shine!
I agree. Listen and Don't Wanna Miss a Thing especially must be the most over-performed songs on TV talent shows.
