Kate Bush brings out her first album of original material in quite a few years, so perfect theme

Can't wait to see Janet do Wuthering Heights

I think someone suggested this last year as well... I just can't see them ever doing a Kate Bush week because she really is the type of artist who no one can do her songs like she can.

Yes, but we'd all get a good laugh at them trying

Absolutely not! I would be horrified to watch this lot ruin and shoehorn raps into Kate's songs. Its bad enough listening to them murder songs that I don't like, I would hate to listen to Marcus, Misha and others butcher songs that I really enjoy.

My lord what a train wreck this theme this would be :/ She is one of my favourite artists so it'd be interesting but I don't think anyone would pull it off.

Kate Bush is a one-off, never seen before, never to be seen again. It's not whether the contestants would be good enough that is the question, it's whether there is any point in anyone however big a star other than Kate herself singing one of her songs. Given that she sings them perfectly and exactly how she wrote them what would be the point of doing a cover?

I'd like to hear Janet sing 'Man with a child in his eyes'.

I can just see Marcus doing 'Hounds of Love' in the style of Jackie Wilson with a gospel choir in the background.

Just imagine the train wreck:

Craig - The Man With A Child In His Eyes
Janet - Army Dreamers
Amelia - Wuthering Heights
Misha B - This Woman's Work
Little Mix - Running Up That Hill
Marcus - The Hounds Of Love

(Such a shame Kitty's gone as she could have assaulted the bonkers Sat In Your Lap)

Bad idea - Tulisa won't have heard of Kate Bush

She could do that one well or This Woman's Work Or Kick Inside
Amelia could do Hounds Of Love or Feel It
Craig could do And So It Love or Army Dreamers
Marcus could do Wow, Foot On The Heartbrake or Kaska From Bagdad
Little Mix - Sensual World or Don't Give Up (stripped back)
Misha could do Rubberband Girl or Running Up That Hill


But Gary wouldn't like any of them because the lyrics are cleverer than his.

I don't think I could handle Craig murdering a Kate song, he already butchered Adele and Gaga...

I'd just like to thank the OP for this thread. It has reminded me to start listening to the incomparable Kate Bush again.

Craigs voice would really suit something like Moments of Pleasure imo

And yes, Kitty would be great doing Sat In Your Lap

Whoever said Army Dreamers for Janet - yes, spot on,

What the Hell would Little Mix or Marcus sing though ??? The girls could maybe do Babooshka or something more obscure like Experiment IV ?? Marcus - hmmm maybe he could pull of December Will Be Magic Again

If only X Factor would have a theme night like this instead of all the usual, tired themes we get most year

(Awaiting Big Band week with zero enthusiasm)

Janet should do (Breathing) as thats what i tend to hear when she sings.

I'd have Janet doing Wuthering Heights, Amelia doing Hounds Of Love, Misha doing Rubberband Girl, Marcus doing Running Up That Hill and Little Mix doing Cloudbusting, Craig if he got through this week doing The Man With The Child In His Eyes

I'd personally like to see one of them tackle Waking The Witch.

Craig doing 'Babushka' would be quite something to see!!! Genius!!!!

Craig - Running Up The Hill(Chasing the ice cream van)
Bad Juju
20-11-2011
Craig - Eat the Music

Amelia - Love and the Anger
Janet - Army Dreamers
Misha - The Big Sky
Little Mix - Don't Give Up
Marcus ???

Kitty could have done a wonderfully bonkers version of Violin, she would have delighted in it I'm sure.

None of them are good enough.

If they keep Misha's sob story going she can sing 'Mother Stands for Comfort'...
