    Stay - really :eek: Marcella Detroit has a 4 1/2 octave vocal range, which is seriously impressive, and great vocal control, if Cher can pull this off properly I'll be impressed, shocked, but impressed (that's presuming they don't dodge the Detriot section of the song)

    I expect there will be a choir. ;)

    Very happy with Cher doing Stay. I love that song. Not liking Katie doing Betwiched though, I'd rather she sang something you wouldn't expect like People are Strange.

    But I'm sorry, only MeatLoaf can sing Bat Out of Hell.

    They are seriously going to have to change the arrangement on this song if Cher is to pull it off, so I'd say , yes, that bit you are referring to will have to be altered or omitted - surely ?

    I was rather hoping Wagner was going to do The Monster Mash.

    'People Are Strange", what a great idea/choice! I'd love to hear her sing that.

    Can someone help, is the Katie song, Bewitched bothered and bewildered by Ella F or some other song I'm not familiar with.

    Can anyone put a link up to the lyrics of it?

    Yeah it would of been great to hear her do something like that, and she should come out with her guitar like Matt did. Would of been great.

    With Cher singing Stay I imagine the theme is going to be a pretty loose interpretation of Halloween. ;)

    I can't see any other way, and this is no insult to Cher, I can't think of very many experienced and accomplished singers that would take it on. I would think they'd have to completely rearranged (had a poke around on youtube, very few covers of this, unsurprisingly) or there's going to be some very obvious covering up going on.

    As I said, if she can pull it off I'll be very impressed, and I mean sing the song without choirs, loud backing tracks masking what's actually going on with her vocals.

    Will Cher be able to sing Stay? I think that's a difficult song choice for her.

    She better not. She'll be in serious trouble if she does, its such a well know and respected song that this one won't go down well if she raps in it.

    Whats the connection between 'stay' and Haloween?

    or could it be magic to be honest (which is a very, very poor song choice for mary, I suspect she could be in trouble this week from that)

    Noooooo. This is one of my all-time favourite songs EVER and that cocky little madame is going to absolutely murder it. Far too good a song for her. :mad:
