what songs should they sing?????
Am just wondering if anyone has any opinions on what songs the contestants should sing in the upcoming weeks???? I know it sounds kinda obvious but i would love to hear Nicholas sing "if there's any justice" or something like dat...any other opinions????

I think Shayne should have a go at 'Prince's' - 'Most Beautiful Girl in the World'. He'd be good at that!!

I've already posted this elsehwhere but to get your thread going I think JS should sing "Goodbye my lover" James Blunt. Your suggestion for Nicholas is a great song - but risky given Lemar has just covered it so well?

Conways - "Wannabee" or "Runaway"
Brenda - "I will survive" or "I'm every woman", in fact give her a disco diva number. Shayne - "You raise me up" or "Rock Your Body" Andy - "The Whole Town is Laughing At Me" or "Sittin' At The Dock of The Bay". Journey South - "More than words" or "Patience" by Guns N Roses Chico - Nothing Nicholas - Nothing If I had to put in evicted contestants: Maria - "I will always love you" or "Independent Woman" 4tune - "Swear it again" or "back for good" Phillip - "Suscpious Minds" or "Hurt" Addictiv Ladies - "Cry Baby" by Jemini as they were on par with that duo. Chenai - "In The Ghetto" as she kept going on about it

I think Nicholas should sing a Lemar song ("time to grow."?????) ...think that would really suit him. "on the wings of love"????? he did a good job but for godsakes Louis he's 18 not 58!!!! He needs something his own age. Thought Shayne did a great job on Saturday. Hard for an amateur to pull off dancing and singing at the same time. I think a good powerful song like "Feel" or "she's the one" but I am really looking forward to "a million love songs"

Most of the Marvin Gaye back catalogue requires his amazing vocals and rarely do you ever hear a cover version that can be compared with them His (Nicolas) performance of “Lets Get It On”, no exaggeration, was offensive. |

I can see what you mean. But I think that Louis Wally Walsh is tryin to hard to make him appeal to different age groups, hence the Marvin Gaye songs etc I think given a few years he might be able to perform those songs but for the moment I don't think he's done too bad of a job. Granted, "lets get it on" was nothin like Marvin Gaye's version. He was, and still is a legend! but Wally Walsh does that with all his groups and acts. Westlife have "when you tell me that you love me" on their album, as well as "desperado" !!!! Boyzone had really old Irish songs on theirs. He isn't exactly with the times you know. I don't think that Nicholas can be held totally accountable. |

Partly because the nature of the song hides some of the tunign problems. Partly because it suits his image. He is not a scratch on Marvin Gaye. Who is? It's all about not finishing in the bottom two. His cred is shot after the Michael Jackson debacle. I'm rolling the dice here!!! |

Trying a duet is always going to be risky but that is such a hard song to sing......

Maybe thats coz I started the cover letter with "listen here you aul fart!...." lol

![]() In fact, the other week when they sat down on their stools with just an acoustic guitar, I was convinced (having missed all the ITV2 shows that week and hence having no idea what JS's song choice was) that they were going to do More Than Words right there and then. I imagine we won't see Shayne do the Darkness until there are few enough acts left that they do more than one song each. That way he can do something more conventional if his Justin Hawkins impression doesn't work. |
