Could Fleur actually reprise 'Band Bang', her Judges' House performance. It could work loosely?

I don't like Big Band week, would much prefer Motown week.
Why on earth is Adam Lambert on next week when this week was Queen v MJ?

I know it's not Big Band but this is X Factor. Anything with brass instuments in it probably classes as Big Band for the judges.

Anyway, Fleur says she's doing something that's never been done on X Factor before...

Doesn't "Shake It Off" have a brass section. Only The Young can do that.

Edit: Actually they should do Treasure by Bruno Mars.

Big band to me is that jazzy style type of music... It doesn't have to be an old song... But its the style... So candyman and mambo #5 counts, but not bang bang or crazy stupid love...

As if XF would never stray away from a theme.

I suspect the same old songs will feature though: Mack The Knife, Cry Me A River (the usual Buble version), At Last, Moon River, Feeling Good etc.

Yes I know obviously What I'm saying is the chorus sounds like it'd suit BB week but obviously it wouldn't sound exactly like the original. I agree about CSL.

Huh? Bang Bang or CSL?

I think Lauren could actually be doing 'Cry Me A River'.

Why are people suggesting crazy stupid love or bang bang at all...those will never pass as big band songs....

I just listened to Bang Bang on youtube and you're actually right. I thought it was more Big Band-sounding than it actually is. Just goes to show I rarely listen to a song's instrumental.

Trust me...I listen to bang bang enough to know its not passable as a big band song...
