Out of those, Alone would be the best I think - I love it, and it'd be right up her street
![]() Pretty good list all round, but I'd also love to hear "You're So Vain" (Carly Vain) from Niki - especially given how outspoken she can be after the judges comments - I love her for it - she could dedicate this to Simon!

I think a Dido song would really suit her voice.

If not maybe even the different song, with the same name, by Lisa Loeb - it'd bit different and suit her emotional side, she did very well with the more gentle "Fields Of Gold" last week.

I totally agree about a Carly Simon song but think its perhaps not well known enough. Also White Flag Dido would be good.
The other one to add would be Stop- Sam Brown |

I think Niki needs a good song to sing, she recently has been picking songs that arent as good, dont realy suit her voice.
But if she has a good song she can be amazing |

Some songs, for example Leon's "You Don't Know Me" have worked without being especially well known, but I know what you mean. Stop would suit her, hopefully she'd be up to it, she's basically fantastic but is very unpredictable in terms of how she'll perform on the night. |

Yes you're right actually, Carly Simon's voice is very similar so would work very well.

Of the songs suggested here, I think 'Stop' is the best choice for Niki. She has a lovely voice but needs to step away from the power balads that Louis loves so much but which are just wrong for her voice, and concentrate on the more senstive, subtle songs. Her best song by far was 'Nothing Compares 2 U'. It was fortunate for Niki that she sang this in the first week, because that established her credentials right away. Had she started off with the power ballads, I think she would have been long gone by now, and that would have been a shame. Appropriate song choice is extremely important.
