Lauren's song choice is so bloody predictable, can she not be given something to push her even a little bit?

Cheryl was quoted in an interview as saying she wouldn't push her into anything she was uncomfortable doing. Commendable in one way, hypocritical in another

There was a rumour going around Twitter today that she was going to be singing 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend'.
I reckon that would have made her stand out more and showed more of her personality off.

Oh that's a shame.
I suspect she couldn't handle the "performance" aspect, best to just plonk her on a stool and sing a ballad. As per...

Alright I'll give you an example.
If someone went onto Fleur's appreciation thread and said "Fleur is terrible and her fans are all idiots", it'd be baiting and trolling, as they specifically went to a place where Fleur fans would be, and said something negative purposely to get a reaction.
Saying "I'd love to see the meltdown on the forum" isn't baiting/trolling because they're not the one causing it. Just saying they'd like to see how the forum reacted if it happened. There's a difference.

Is it like saying 'I'd like to see Simons face if he had two of his acts in the sing off?'
It doesn't mean you dislike the two acts - it just means you'd like to see Simons reaction
Changing the hot topic of discussion slightly. ...anyone know what SK are singing yet???
it could be the performance of the 'moment', hence the last minute change! !!

I think everyone's waiting to hear if they got 'That's Life' - AKA the song of death!

Who has time to tweet a day before the big performance especially since they got the song hours ago...

Disco theme - let's just sing Shake It Off by Taylor Swift wearing hot pants with a disco ball spinning overhead and a picture of the Bee-Gees on the backround screen.
80's theme - let's just sing My Humps by Fergie wearing shoulder pads and legwarmers with a stern looking chap playing a synthesiser in the backround and a picture of Alison Moyet on the backround screen.
Do you see where I'm gong with this....?”

LOL! When did I miss these performances?
I would argue that the "Swing era" big band treatment has been applied to a diverse range of songs right from its inception in the 30s.
In addition, the `"big band" sound has diversified since the days of swing and the ratpack. Doesn't Strictly use a big band most of the time?
So I can accept that Big Band Week uses all kind of songs, so long as the big band is there.
Very boring and predictable choice for Lauren as always,there's no denying she has a good voice but it's only good she doesn't push herself,make songs her own,I'm finding her so boring now ..... Interesting choice for Andrea,I loved it when Leona Lewis sung it so I think Andrea will hopefully do a great job
BEN HAENOW
Just had a quick browse through and noted that Ben Haenow is not one of the favourites on here.- Why not?
He is much better than Andrea and Stevi. He is MY FAVOURITE and I think he could win!:

In fairness, Brian Friedman openly criticised her for throwing a hissy fit when he suggested a few easy dance moves a few weeks back. She does prefer to just stand and sing, rather than overly exert herself! That's fine, but it can be seen by some as rather one note and boring after a while.

and by seen by some as selfish and lucky i.e. other fans of acts who have gone because of this crap - why should she get away with it? I don't like Brian for being biased etc on a number of acts but you can't help thinking therefore that despite Brian saying that Simon has decided that even if she does not win she cannot be criticised and will finish in a certain order and not be given 'constructive' criticism.
So Fleur has decided to not adhere to the theme this week and instead pick whatever she wants. Wow, that's fair.

Exactly... If ever someone went completely off the theme...this is it...I mean... People talk about slowing down songs etc....Fleur didn't even pick a big band song...not only that..it is something she already sang...how great ...*eye rolls*...

Just another 'Stunt/sob story' to get then through another week, just like last weeks 'Stage(d) Invasion'
Not sure why people are getting their knickers in a twist about the songs not adhering to the theme, IMO this theme is a lot more open to interpretation than say Rock Week which in the past has seen artists sing songs by Rock Legends like err...Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Gnarls Barkley. IMO, Big Band should be open to modern songs provided they are done with a big band arrangement, jazzy flavour. Like in Series 4 when one of the acts did Valerie by Amy Winehouse. I'm just glad nobody is doing Mr. bloody Bojangles or Feeling Good...in before SK do a mash-up of the two lol
