I thought Fleur would do Bang Bang
like her choice and Lauren's song. Andrea, imo, wont be as good as Leona singing summertime.

Andrea Faustini - Summertime (by Ella Fitzgerald)
Lauren Platt - Smile (by Nat King Cole) Ben Haenow - Cry Me A River (by Michael Buble Are the only ones that really fit the theme and are just a bit predictable imo |

Big band arrangements can be applied to any tune, for good or ill. Strictly use a big band. Jules Holland has a big band. "Mack The Knife" got the treatment. "Frankie and Johnnie" got the same. It's been going on for more than 80 years.
As far as I'm concerned any tune goes, so long as there's a big band backing. |

Leona & Fantasia (also Ruth) did an amazing job with it, so Simon might compare! Quote:
