Sounds like they did choose their own songs but off their previously submitted list. So they couldn't randomly pick a song themselves, it had to be one off their list which they hadn't performed before.
Why Do The Bbc Lie?

Choose only describes one final stage in a process. If i say to Sam last week you would sound really good singing X next week and she comes back next week and says I would like to sing X she chose it. Similarly if Rachel says i was thinking of singing Y or Z and someone says how about P - thats also still her choice. If Jessie then comes up with dire choice number 121 and no one tells her its dire thats also her choice.
Rachel has experience of auditions too so I would expect her to make a more puposeful choice that showcased her voice.
The better answer would be to find a song each that let everyone shine or to find one that equally required them all to do what they are suspect at doing. This show habitually creates an uneven playing field by giving some girls the irrelevant or the impossible or the unrewarding and allowing others to coast in their comfort zone. After weeks of people getting killer songs and songs that ALW admits were wrong for them, its not surprising if people's eyebrows rise when only one Nancy makes a brilliant song choice and the 2 in closest compettition with her make decidedly bad ones.

I'm touchy? Strange I'm not the one creating wild conspiracy theory's out of simple statements of fact. You seem very touchy about the situation.
Jodie did get a bad song! She never chose that song!
IF she would have had the ability to choose a song we all know there are songs she would have much better suited!
But she again made the best she could out of it and showed the judges and the public that she deserves to be in the semi finals!

So how did she come to be singing that song?

that is so interesting, MrS; i wonder what song she would have preferred to sing...
if true, the BBC producers should be ashamed of themselves for telling porkies...
She came to be singing that song because she was told to sing it!
She didnt have any say in the matter!
She didnt have any say in the matter!
oh deary dear.... you mean the producers are [shock horror] trying to manipulate the outcome of this show?!
My thoughts exactly!
These girls all work hard and just want a level playing field!
The BBC should be ashamed.........

Trying to level the playing field a bit, I imagine.
Edit - Probably the wrong sporting analogy. Giving her a handicap might be more appropriate.
i guess the producers are having to placate the likes of CM and ALW - pity they don't appreciate the contract of trust they are meant to have with their viewers....this is like Ant n Dec all over again...

It's funny really. They have been criticised and fined for manipulating the phone votes and know they can't get away with this now so they have to look for other ways to manipulate it. Why are we so cynical?

Exactly - a level playing field is what was needed but unfortunately not what they got!

this proves again to me anyway, and what i always say about this excuse of evictees that they had a bad song choice being the reason for their going... if you are liked and do with it what you can, you don't go anywhere.
rachel had a very well known song and did a reasonable job, in the bottom 2.
so many factors weigh into it, least of all the song choice.
has Jessie been in the bottom 2 yet? a couple of hers have been dire as well.

I don't know about anyone else but shouldn't all girls be able to sing ANY song given to them. Sams song this weeks range was so high she was left with the biggest possibility to make a pitch error, than other girls who had rather safe songs. does it matter what songs are sung as they should all be able to sing any of the songs on the show each weekend. MrS you should be a shamed of yourself for manipulating people by making these accusations. im sure if any nancy disagree with any songs given to them then they would say as they all seem strong characters able to make thier own decisions.
i just hope people don't change thier minds on which nancy is thier favourite, as i jave to admit reading these forums so many things said are lies making people change there minds. i had a favourite fromt he start and she is now in the semi finals, yeah!

Manipulating people me ? No just telling the facts! And you are wrong Im afraid to say. Many of the songs given to the Nancy's would have been changed if the could have. But no matter how strong their character they do NOT get a choice!!!!!!

For the record, I think it's ridiculous to say that any of the girls' songs this week were safe. They were all very difficult songs in different ways. I don't think anyone credible has said otherwise so far.
