Heard the them for next week is Queen not sure how true this is, if it is we could have some interesting song choices.


Hollie:The show must go on (Diva ballad version)
Phillip:Radio Gaga,Crazy little thing called love
Joshua:We are the champions (gospel version),Another one bites the dust
Jessica:Who wants to live forever
Skylar:We will rock you,Somebody to love
Elise:No one but you,Bohemian rhapsody

I like some of your choices. However, I think Somebody To Love would be better for Phillip than Skylar. I saw a guy called Frank Turner at Wembley last week and he did a version of that song that would really suit Phillip's voice. Having said that, if the theme is Queen, Phillip could probably sing anything, he definitely has the advantage here.

I doubt anyone would do Bohemian Rhapsody... its a six minute song with no chorus. What part would they choose? Its more likely to be the group performance song.

Are they singing two Queen songs?

I dont think they are I think they singing one queen song and the other will be a duet

Elise- I Want To Break Free
Joshua- Somebody To Love
Hollie- These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Philip- Another One Bites The Dust
Jessica- Who Wan't To Live Forever
Skylar- Hammer To Fall

Joshua & Jessica- Don't Stop Me Now
Elise & Philip- Under Pressure
Hollie & Skylar- Friends Will Be Friends

They had a group performance on XF 2009 singing this so very likely

I would be interested to hear Skylar and Philip do a duet as the last Philip/Elise didn't do to well also Hollie and Skylar don't complement each others voices.

Queen is a bit like Abba you think there are loads of well known songs but unless you area die hard fan there aren't that many. Plus with 4 of the 6 (can't remember Phlips age and I still count Joshua as a teen) being teenagers is it likely they would really sing this type of music?

I don't think there will be duets from the rumors I've heard. One Queen song and one other theme (which we don't know yet) and all will perform a Queen song with Brian May and Roger Taylor.

My guess for Queen theme:[LIST][*]Elise: Bohemian Rhapsody (or maybe Spread Your Wings) (start off the piano in either case)[*]Hollie: Lady Ga Ga[*]Jessica: Innuendo (or maybe We Are The Champions)[*]Joshua: Don't Try So Hard (or maybe Who Wants To Live Forever)[*]Phillip: Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Phillip Phillipsed version)[*]Skylar: Hammer To Fall (country version probably )[/LIST]
I hope no one touches The Show Must Go On, especially Joshua or Jessica.

Didn't Constantine sing an Acapella version of Bo-Rap at some point?

no, according to nigel (the producer), only 1 queen song & any song they wanna sing.

so could be double performance each again.

For the free choice song I'd pick

Hollie- You'll Never Walk Alone (from Carousel, it's a big belty ballad and she could connect with it because of it's Liverpool FC connotations)

Elise- Behind Blue Eyes (The Who, it's a classic rock song she could strip down to the piano, and she could really emote it- potential moment which she desperately needs)

Joshua- Dance Little Sister (Terence Trent D'Arby, it's not a big ballad, but it has a soulful kind of energy he could really let loose on)

Skylar- Heartbreaker (Pat Benatar, it's a brassy, character driven rock song that she could show her big vocals on)

Jessica- Find Your Love (Drake, bit of an odd choice but this could get her more of Teen Vote fanbase- but she'd need to change it to fit her voice)

Philip- Lonely Boy (The Black Keys, it's a modern, growly blues rock song- exactly the kind of music Philip will be releasing if he wins)

So to summarise, my song picks for them are-

Elise- I Want To Break Free/ Behind Blue Eyes
Joshua- Somebody To Love/ Dance Little Sister
Hollie- These Are The Days of Our Lives/ You'll Never Walk Alone
Philip- Another One Bites The Dust/ Lonely Boy
Jessica- Who Wants To Live Forever/ Find Your Love
Skylar- Hammer To Fall/ Heartbreaker

Skylar - Don't Stop Me Now (Ironic as I'd rather like to stop her lol)
Phillip - We Will Rock You (Again an ironic choice from me!)
Elise - Under Pressure (Because she is after so many B3 appearances)
Hollie - It's A Kind Of Magic (Would suit her powerful style)
Joshua- Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Gets him upbeat after last week!)
Jessica - Somebody To Love (Probably one of the best known Queen songs, and therefore the most age appropriate)

Skylar - We Cry by The Script (Storytelling song, don't care if it's not well known as I'm not a fan of Skylar's lol)
Phillip - Hot 'n' Cold by Katy Perry (Random but may work in his style)
Elise - Domino by Jessie J (It's stuck in my head lol I've suggested it for her before and it might work, even though I'm sure Erika would do a better job lol)
Hollie - Grenade by Bruno Mars (May work like it did for Pia last year, at a more crucial stage in the competition)
Joshua - Warwick Avenue by Duffy (Might work and wouldn't sound samey)
Jessica - Take A Bow by Rihanna (Fun, age appropriate and should suit her voice)
