The problem is that there are not any Queen tracks to suit female artists really. It's a strange theme all together really.

I think Fleur should do a ballad by Queen to prove she is versatile and can sing a slow song too.

No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) would be a good choice for her

Yeah, I would really like to see her sing a ballad this week too.

Stacey Solomon singing Who Wants to Live Forever managed to poll highest that week, and got overwhelming praise for it. Amelia Lily doing The Show Must Go On achieved the same result.

If Fleur is good enough, she can pull it off.

Actually, many Queen songs suit a good female singer, and some show off a great one.

Granted, Fleur and Lauren are not "big" voiced singers, but then, other that Paul and Andrea,the guys aren't,either. I think Fleur and Lauren are good enough to do fine, especially Fleur, who could really have fun with the performance side of this week's theme.

That would be amazing, but didn't Rachel Hylton leave after performing this song?

I think They Don't Care About Us would be a great choice for Fleur.

I Want To Break Free,Killer Queen, Crazy LTCL are all great songs that don't do much for a big voice but would for a solid, unique toned voice with character and would leave Fleur room to really hit the performance side of it hard.We Will Rock You could actually work well for her too. Paul and Andrea might kill it vocally, but there are so many options for them, especially Andrea who has some vocal similarities to Freddie.Fleur if she used it to show attitude and character and kept the vocal steady(not sure if it's too big or just at her limit) could give a powerhouse overall performance of this one on par with her version of Bang Bang and maybe even steal the show from the powerhouse singers.

I would take this with a pinch of salt because all the rumours about song choices for Fleur so far have been wrong.

If she makes the final (hopefully it is final 4 like in 2010) then I hope she duets with Jessie J (or Nicki Minaj if we're being wishful). Her and Jessie have voices that would really gel together IMO.

She could sing Bang Bang again but with Jessie this time, and do the rap verse too That would be epic!

That really was phenomenal. I've loved her to bits from the beginning yet I was surprised by how strong and excellent that performance was. GO FLEUR!

She is the only act who would make a good album - that I would actually purchase.

I love her.

Really proud of Fleur's performance tonight. When I found out what song she was doing I was disappointed, but she killed it. It's nice to see that she appears to be popular and I think she may have a shot making it to the final.

The thing with Fleur is whilst she is a very good artist, she comes across as being a very down to earth and nice person too.
