    Rebecca - Both Sides Now
    Treyc - Alone
    Cher - Beautiful
    Katie - Dont Speak
    Paije - Me And Mrs Jones
    Aiden - Everybody Hurts
    Matt - With Or Without You
    Mary - The Power Of Love
    Wagner - Save Your Love
    One Direction - Rule The World

    That's all very good suggestions.
    U2 would be great for Matt even if I sort of hope they'll wait with that.

    My thoughts :)

    Matt - Fall at your feet, Crowded House
    Rebecca - I think its gonna rain today (Bette Midler version)
    Treyc - Alone, Heart
    Cher - Issues, The Saturdays
    Katie - Time after time, Cyndi Lauper
    Paije - Lets stay together, Al Green
    Aiden - Fix you, Cold Play
    Mary - Ive found someone, Cher
    Wagner - Is this love, Whitesnake
    One Direction - I want it that way, Backstreet Boys

    I would be a fab judge!!!! Good mixture there from me :D

    Aiden's voice reminds me of Michael Stipe so I'd like to hear him sing "Everybody Hurts" (as long as they don't mess around with the arrangement).

    Rebecca - I Bruise Easily (Natasha Bedingfield) - can imagine it ev en though I prefer Natasha to Rebecca and doubt R would better the original :)

    Cher - No Air (Jordin Sparks/Chris Brown) - Again, brave from a big Jordin fan but I prefer Cher to Rebecca so she might pull it off, and it'd give Jordin more exposure :)

    TreyC - Family Portrait (Pink) Might give her a chance to connect more emotionally with the audience. I'm a Pink fan too, but I'd say TreyC's the girl with the best voice :)

    Katie - Cry Me Out (Pixie Lott) Not too vocally challenging, but keeps her current, good song even though Pixie has her vocal faults too :)

    Mary - I'm With You (Avril Lavigne) Hopefully she'd show more emotion too, but she could keep her power! :)

    It's my birthday today so I'm going to spend a bit of time with my family now, will keep thinking though! :D

    Everybody Hurts has been covered to many times before dont want him to go there, rather see him do something like Nightswimming whichwill feel fresher because its not been done to death.

    But I would really like to see Aiden do something more upto date because all his songs on the lives have been oldder tracks from previous eras.
    I think he could take Cover My Eyesby La Roux and do something very special with it.

    These are BRILLIANT suggestions! Don't Cry Out Loud for Mary would be sensational. She would bring the house down! Likewise This Woman's Work for Paije. Not a dry eye in the house.

    Cher- Jolene (Dolly Parton)

    Cher did say she wanted to do a country-style song didn't she? So this could be it, although I prefer Downtown

    No please don't - there are some songs that are sacred

    There are some really talented budding musical directors out there! 'I'm with you' is an inspired choice for Mary.

    Again,these choices are all spot on, really intuitive and all the contestants would really shine with these songs. How I would love to see Mary sing Chasing Pavements in the final, and win the competition :)
