Paul - Mr Bojangles (Was it Sammy Davis Jr?)
Haley - Last Dance (Donna Summer)

Haha big time doom songs for the 2 I don't like lol

How about....

Stefano - The Man Who Can't Be Moved (The Script)
James - Grace Kelly (Mika)
Karen - 1, 2, 3, 4 (Gloria Estefan) - I like your suggestion too OP, perhaps she could switch between it and Regresa A Mi
Lauren - Can't Fight The Moonlight (LeAnn Rimes)
Pia - I'm With You (Avril Lavigne) - Trying to think of a more upbeat one though

Those are my favourites so far, in no particular order other than the order in which i came up with the songs lol

Scotty - Ticket To Ride (The Beatles) - as my dad got me to do a Beatles theme and I can do an impression of Scotty singing this one
Naima - Tears Dry On Their Own (Amy Winehouse)
Ashthon - Take A Bow (Rihanna)
Jacob - Everybody In Love (JLS) - To update him a bit and give them some US publicity lol

The above group, I qite like, but they're not my faves

Most of those I came up with on the spot just now, I'm sure I could do better

Oops, forgot Casey and Thia. They both fir into my 3rd group.

Thia - I'm Like A Bird (Nelly Furtado)
Casey - I'm Yours (Jason Mraz) to suit his scatting and update him

xxxx

I like the idea of Ashthon doing "Work it Out" - it's well within her range, and she'd be able to show off a bit, without being completely overshadowed by the original.

I think it suits her personality- she has got that sassy vibe going on and she could make herself memorable with this.

Yeah Ashthon is one of my favorites so far and I like the suggestions of her singing Work It Out or Ring the Alarm, preferably Ring The Alarm as it's more different.

Are there themed weeks? I can't remember. I hope not though because I'm bored of contestants on this and X Factor singing the same songs we've heard millions of times before.

Voice Out Of Hell?

Soz, couldn't resist

Someone should sing Wanna Be Starting Something by Michael Jackson. I don't care who - maybe Stefano or James - it would just be funny to hear the studio version, the lyrics are hilarious!

Paul singing Romeo & Juliet (Dire Straits), Wonderwall (Ryan Adams cover of Oasis), Don't Give Up On Me (Solomon Burke) would be nice. Or best of all, Ooh La La by The Faces.

I think that would definitely have to be taken off the list now, seeing as Sugarland are singing on the results show tonight

Also, Pia's choice? Can't see that happening in a million years LOL

I read that song suggestion on another Idol forum, but I think it was for Paul.

I adore the song, I don't think it's been covered previously on XF/idol has it? I wouldn't mind either Naima or Paul covering it.

Hence the title "Songs You'd LIKE to see them sing"

I picked that when I actually liked Pia- she is so dull now it's unreal.

Ashthon - You Might Need Somebody by Randy Crawford would have been good.
Pia - Get Here by Oleta Adams
