The theme this week is "this decade" (songs from 2010 onwards)

So i guess we will see Adele, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars making appearances then lol

Hollie - Adele rolling in the Deep
Elise - Lady Gaga You and I
Jessica- Bruno Mars grenade (she has loads of covers or Bruno Mars on youtube)
Phillip - The Script - Breakeven or for the first time
Joshua - Forget you Cee Lo green
Colton - Switchfoot Dark horses or 30 seconds to mars kings and Queens
Skylar - Ellie Goulding Your song or Lady antebellum - just a kiss

Hollie - Love The Way You Lie (Part 2) - Rihanna - Time to show that emotion!
Skylar - Friday - Rebecca Black - Because I don't like Skylar lol the nasal tone would suit her though!
Elise - Donmino - Jessie J - Works well on paper but could show up her vocal limitations. Would've loved to hear Erika's version!
Jessica - Firework - Katy Perry - Deceptive in that it's more challenging than it sounds, she must do it uptempo though! (Would've loved to hear Erika try this too!)
Joshua - I Need A Dollar - Aloe Blacc - Just a great fit, but can't find online whethere it was a hit in America...
Colton - Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri - Colton's been waiting for a wow moment and this song is good at providing those if handled correctly!
Phillip - Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz - The sort of song he could attempt to make his own, not a big fan of his so I've dragged him out of the comfort zone that's kept him safe thus far!

Hollie- Turning Tables (Adele)
Skylar- You Lie (The Band Perry)

Please nobody sing Adele unless it's a new arrangement done by Colton or even Philip

I agree, I'm sick of hearing Adele on these shows. Choosing to sing one of her songs is so boring and predictable!

^^ not sure what your feelings are on Adele but I agree singing her songs on talents shows is getting boring. Also when people don't sing them well it's really embarrassing.

Also I have the feeling I won't know the songs, even though it's this decade they usually choose songs only known in America.

Yes exactly, I love Adele but it just kills me when people ruin her songs. She has the type of voice that only she can sing her songs in the way they were meant to be sung so that's why I say mash them like Glee or change the way the way they are composed.

Hollie singing 'Rolling in the Deep' would be a good choice for her. All her songs so far have been complete cheese, I think she has the voice to pull it off she just needs better songs.

BOYS
Colton: Jar of hearts (Christina Perri) He would have a moment making him a potential winner

Phillip: Set fire to the rain (Adele) Think he could put his own twist on it

Joshua: Bright lights big city (Cee Lo Green) This song would be perfect for Jousha

GIRLS
Elise: Who are you (Jessie J)

Hollie: Skyscraper (Demi Lovato) This could be a huge moment for Hollie I have a feeling she will be singing this

Jessica:Best thing you never had (Beyonce)

Skylar: Mean (Taylor Swift) Would be a fantastic choice

Ooooo, good theme. I'd love to see Hollie do Skyscraper too, would kind of fit, seeing as all she's been getting is criticism from the judges recently. Although I think Rolling In The Deep would suit her voice.Would like to see Phillip put a twist on something recent too, like he did with Thriller in his first audition.

I think it would be a great show if they sung your list of songs. Although Jar of Hearts is a good one for Colton i also think him on the piano singing Lady Gaga's Speechless would be amazing.
