Anyone got any songs that they really like, but that the artist never performs? I wish Beyonce would perform Deja Vu...she hasn't done it live since the Beyonce Experience Tour which was so, so long ago now. The same with Sweet Dreams...she's only really done it at Glastonbury and an awards show, which is strange as during her I Am Tour it was released as a single yet she only performed it on one date of the tour...odd as it was a single from the album she was touring with. One of my favourites is Countdown though, which annoys me as she never performs it...not even on her recent tour! She did it at her Roseland Concert, but that's it really. It was cut from her Revel DVD.

Broken, My Hands, Yesterday, Naked, Love Letter, Here I Am, Unlove Me, Misses Glass - Leona Lewis. So sad - she's never performed most of them.

I want to see Britney do the original version of Baby One More Time again. It's been a remix since her 2nd tour (15 years ago). I know she wouldn't be singing live but just to see her do it again would be awesome, dance routine included.

Britney never seems to perform Overprotected, My Prerogative, the original version of BOMT (it's nearly always a remix), Sometimes, Criminal and loads of good album tracks.

Deep Purple - Child In Time. Ian Gillans voice cant manage the amazing screams anymore..

Catch it here though.

I'd love to see Britney do If U Seek Amy, My Prerogative and Born To Make You Happy again.
I've given up all hope of her ever doing Sometimes, she notoriously loathes that song and probably wishes she could go back in time and stop its existence from ever occurring.

I don't think she'd be allowed to perform My Prerogative because of what it's about and people might think it's too personal I don't think she's done If U Seek Amy since the Circus tour and when did she last sing Born To Make You Happy? As far as I know she last sung Sometimes on the Dream Within A Dream tour. I like that song but it is cheesy, I must admit

Wasn't If U Seek Amy on the Femme Fatale Tour?

But doesn't love Britney love making things 'her most personal yet'? Lol

I had completely forgotten! Haha thanks for reminding me of that, in that case I guess it hasn't been long since she performed it.

Actually I think it was! I have to check though as I haven't watched the FFT since January.


Hehe yep Remember Britney Jean? That was supposed to be her most personal album yet and I don't know if it was. On the other hand I think Original Doll would have been very personal and raw if it had been released.

I don't know why, she's had much cheesier songs if you ask me!


Don't with Original Doll

Half of BOMT is cheesy, but I don't hate the album. It's a classic pop album and has a certain nostalgia feel to it. It's not up there with Blackout or ITZ as a masterpiece but it was her first album and she was only 16 or 17 when she recorded and released it.

I know! I kinda wish Original Doll had been released Would we have got Blackout though?

Blondie - Golden Rod

Madonna NEVER performs her WHo's that girl Stuff....Last time was on the Blonde Ambition Tour..It's really odd. i wodner why not? WHo's that Girl was a massive hit

With regards to Britney, I'd also like her to perform Sometimes. No way is that her cheesiest song either. That award goes to Lucky.

Gaga has never performed Summerboy, I Like It Rough and Starstruck

(well, there is a video from a gig in 2008 but it was just a small segment)

I don't think Lucky is her cheesiest song. In fact if you listen to it carefully it's rather sad and I think it foretold 2007. I definitely think Sometimes is cheesy though. As I said last night, half of BOMT (the album) is cheesy

There aren't many songs that Paramore never or rarely perform but to the best of my knowledge they have never played "All I Wanted" from their third album "Brand New Eyes". Rumour has it that they were going to open one of their shows on the PARAHOY! Cruise with that song, but there was a last minute change of heart.

I'd love to be there when/if they ever perform that song.

I was disappointed that The Killers didn't play more tracks from 'Battle Born' when I saw them on the tour in support of that album, especially 'Flesh and Bone' which is my favourite Killers song. What was more annoying was they played it for the first few shows of their UK tour, then dropped it and I don't think they've ever played it since!

Def Leppard. I'd love to hear them play Getcha Rocks Off.

I have heard them play, once, Let It Go. That was worth the ticket money on its own.
I've also heard them, once, play Wasted.

As for Britney's cheesiest song, surely Dear Diary or Heart?

When I went to see Paolo Nutini in Glasgow back in at the beginning of January, I wanted him to perform Fashion - one of my favourite songs from his most recent album, Caustic Love. Didn't do it at his headliner gigs at Glastonbury or T in the Park, which I watched on the tv. Can't imagine either at The V Festival down in Chelmsford. As far as I am aware, he has performed the song at a gig in Dublin which I have watched via YouTube. Better than nothing at all, I guess it is a case that you can't please everyone

I also would have loved Prince when I saw him last year in Glasgow to do I feel for you (a song now associated with Chaka Khan; but he wrote it and did the original). He did perform the song during his 21 day residency at The O2 in London. Others I would have loved to hear were FALLINLOVE2NITE and Rock 'n' Roll Love Affair, both released as digital singles prior to the two albums he released last year. Perhaps he didn't want to do them but with his female band,3RDEYEDGIRL I don't see why he couldn't.

Stevie Wonder - Boogie on Reggae Woman, Bird of Beauty

Randy Newman - Every Time It Rains (a song he wrote for Michael Jackson after his management requested that he write a song for their client; probably the most personal song Jackson never sang)

Because I have not seen my most favorite singer James Otto since 2011, I really don't know what his set list looks like now, but I am sure that its a safe bet that none of my most favorite songs from him are a part of it anymore.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

P.S. The following are my ten most favorite from him.

"Dam* Right"
"Never Say Good Bye"
"Lets Just Let Go"
"The Bigger The Caddy"
"I Got Your Back"
"The Blues Can't Find Me Here"
"Wide Open"
"Bad Reputation"
"You Don't Act Like My Woman"
"For You" (This was actually done recently to my surprise. Thank God for You Tube.)

Definitely Dear Diary. That song is cheesier than a supermarket cheese counter I don't think I've ever listened to it in full as it's a right turkey.
