Expecting lots of bland, ballady versions of songs, as per.

Would much rather have a current theme this theme could really fall flat.

I'm surprised no ones mention Hannah doing Fast Car by Tracy Chapman as that could be great performance imo

I said it for lorna

with this 1980's theme Maloney would of been in his element!

What about Purple Rain

Someone will sing that for sure

I dunno, from what I've heard yes but it could be totally untrue?
