So which songs do we want to see sung on Live Show One or what songs do we think we will feature on the first live show?

*Remember* Week 1's theme is 'Songs from the 1980's'.

If only these were true. I'm sure a few of them will be used though.

I'd actually love to hear Abi perform "Time After Time". It'd be a moment if she used her piano.

shelly will go for - alone (heart), total eclipse (bonny) or power of love (jen rush). any power ballad will do..... sung out of the corner of her mouth of course

Kingsland Road- Footloose (Kenny Loggins) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YhdiPljW_E 1984
Miss Dynamix- My Perogative (Bobby Brown- could be a bit odd, but Britney covered it so they could follow that route) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-tZFk9LJK4 1988

Rough Copy doing Cameo's Word Up will be interesting _ I wonder who will wear that famous red box
Lorna with Chaka's Ain't Nobody looks good
Miss Dynamix doing Bobby Brown's My Prerogative is a very weird choice - maybe Sister Sledge Lost In Music would be better suited
Hannah doing Anita Baker's Sweet Love will definitely suit her.
Kingsland doing Footloose will certainly suit them too
Tamera's choice is an interesting one.....

Just to clarify, they were my choices, not what they actually have (but thanks for the comments!)

I agree with all of them except Miss Dynamix doing How Will I Know - can't see them doing that song but I might be wrong - I just think this song is suitable for solo artists only

I only picked the singers I have interest in. Though I don't particularly like Tamera she does interest me as with Abi. But I do like Miss Dynamix and Luke.

My initial choice was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper for Miss Dynamix

I was thinking Karyn White's Superwoman (1989) and probably Pebble's Girlfriend (1987) as well as Whitney's I Wanna Dance With Somebody as Arun mentioned

I reckon that will definitely work for them or Sister Sledge's Lost In Music or maybe Pointer Sisters "I'm So Excited"

Can I just say the people on here who are actually just randomly picking song choices for the contestants and actually suit them I have to give it to you guys it made me realise how I would suck as a mentor Im only limited to 21st century music when picking songs for the contestants
