And hey, before you all slate me, I'm not a Conway Sisters fan. I'm simply playing Devil's Advocate or something to that effect.

Having to put together a harmony in less than a week, and then being landed with a backing choir. It's not going to help them.
Backing singers of any kind are always a bad idea, think about it both Andy and Brenda have been backing singers in the past, as Rowena from the last series. To be a backing singer you have to be able to sing well, and adapt to any style. Not something you behind you if there's any doubt about your own ability. On the other hand you really need to rehearse with them if you're going to use them.
The only way the Conways have a chance is to change the lead singer, have the other three as the backing group, and totally refuse to have any other backing singers. They also need to insist that if possible they do material that they've done before, or at least have a familliarity with. The question is how many groups has Simon managed?
