I love how we are so protective of Ruth.
However, now, I think that Ruth's versions, particularly of Purple Rain, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Always, (I could go on...) are untouchable. I don't think anyone could do them as well as her. These performances are stand-alone moments in time. Moments that will never be repeated, surpassed, or recreated. They are hers forever.
So I'm not bothered at the prospect of other people covering her songs, lol. Until someone is able to recreate the situation, the atmosphere, the emotion, the passion, heart and voice of Ruth Lorenzo, the songs belong to her. When's the last time there was a 'Purple Rain moment' on X Factor? When will there be again?
In the meantime, every time someone performs one of her songs, I'll be happy, I think, knowing that it is a salute to Ruth and a reminder to the world of just what she did with it, originally.
Ha ha, yeah, ^ so that was the smart 'head' version. But I was annoyed when whoever that was the other night murdered ILRAR. And that wasn't even PR, KOHD or Always... or LAHA, or Summertime. I never heard them do Always - probably just as well.
Maybe it's time for the 'heart' version: "They better keep their hands off Ruth's songs!!!"
And, lmao, I cannot wait until Dannii says, "Yeah, not as good as Ruth's!" I can just see us all going "Yaaaaaaaay!" or "Woot" or "Eeeeeee".”

Even though she's not releasing anything in time for the live shows they should just ask her back anyway - she can sing Purple Rain again and show all these pretenders how it's really done.
And thanks for following, everyone.
Lisa on the Ruth forum says that the next Q&A is likely planned for the first week of October. Get yer questions in if you haven't already.

There's a thought - should I post pics on the twitter for when the news is slow? Maybe only the best ones and make it a very occasional "Pic of the Day" type thing every 2 weeks or so?

I think play it by ear. Can have 'Pic of the Day'. 'YT Vid of the Week' (well, better title than that
), anything and everything.Can have a think about it and come up with themes/titles that can repeat, or post when it's quiet.
?
Which is cfc's twitter?
Ooh and callunax, do you mind editing your post and deleting my twitter link? I like my privacy you see.

I think you should post good ones. But don't overdo it!
You could post others to the news twitpic account without actually tweeting about them. Then people can look at them there.

Yeah was just gonna post stuff at random when it's quiet. Will wait til there's more followers before I start posting the really good stuff though.
Was thinking of posting one XF performance on Saturdays in parallel with the live shows this year too. Sort of like a "relive her journey" thing. Should I do that? Probably not a good idea to use Youtube in this instance. I'll PM you about what I've got in mind later.

Aye, all Ruth pics are good ones of course
but it'll just be ones like photoshoots, good quality gig pics, etc.

I think that would be really good. With her main performances and sing offs, would that cover the whole series?

Just covering Week 1 to Week 8 of this year. Sing-offs (and 2nd Always) would be two in one day then, forgot to say that
