From someone who works for bbc but can't say in what capacity I'm afraid. Will let know if I hear anything else

No worries, just wanting to know if it was just rumour, or from a reliable source. Thanks

No problem. I've been lurking here for ages. Only got remote internet access now so I've only just found out how to post. Been so frustrating. Hopefully I'll now be able to join in more so hi everyone

Welcome to DS Thanks for the spoiler regarding Jessie's song.

So do we know what everyone is singing now?

Yep

Jodie - Holding out for a Hero
Jessie - How Do I Live
Rachel - I Will Always Love You
Niamh - Don't Speak
Samantha - Defying Gravity

I think!

Worried about Jessie, Sam and Rachels choices

I think Jessie and Niamh have got the best songs.

And Sam's has the potential to be amazing, but I'm nervous for her- it could go so badly wrong....

ooff it's going to be a good show
obviously with jessie as my fave i'm looking forward to her the most but in general i'm really excited about seeing all the girls perform and wish them all well! tonight has just got to be better than last week

just a Q, is jessies song the one 'how do i live if living is without you?'
sorry!!

I assumed it was LeeAnn Rymes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFnD3uwKHag

The song you mentioned is called 'Without You' (and did someone already sing it, or am I imagining that?)

Holding out for a Hero really fits Jodie's voice, but it could end up a little cabaret. Niamh has a great song. Sam's could go either way, fantastic or a mess, Jessie has a good song but I can't imagine her singing it, and Rachel's has just been done to death!

Yep, that's what I thought it was as well.

It's "How Do I Live" orig by Trisha Yearwood later covered by "Leanne Rhimes"

the leanne rimes version will make me cry!
well whatever version it is, i will cry! love the song. lets see if jessie has the powers to make us all blub!

Hmm. So Niamh has probably the best song choice - let's see what she does with it. Jodie's could go either way, though vocally she should be absolutely fine. Jessie and Rachel have two of my least favourite songs ever (because let's face it, Rachel'll be singing the Whitney Houston wail-fest version), and, well, we'll have to see how they sound - I'm slightly more optimistic for Jessie, but who knows. Samantha, I'm actually cringing already...

going be a good old show - cant wait.

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

with any luck the Josephs might drown out the duff notes....lol

It was written for Leanne Rhimes and later done by Trisha Yearwood for the fim Con Air http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Do_I_Live

guess the bbc doesn't pay well

welcome to you

actually, they both wanted to record it at the same time, but Trisha was older and considered the better fit, there was a whole to do about it.

edit- that's what you said. wooops!

i'm excited to hear Sam! I hope she doesn't have to cut the song down too much though!!

Should be a good show!

It will be an interesting show.......if nothing else........

Hi Piper, thanks for the welcome. Should just point out though that it's not me who works for the bbc, just a mate of mine who gave me the info.

He confirmed that the songs were all chosen by the girls themselves this week as well.
