Duh, it was when it was originally posted.
I requested that the mods change it if you can be bothered to actually read back.

I can definitely see someone doing that track. It's one of his best imo. I agree about the JLS thing. A Jackson's track would be right on the money for them.
Can't wait to see what they pick actually, it's gonna be really interesting.
I'll have to give my MJ collection a going over before I decide which songs should be sang by who... BUT... Does anyone remember at Michael's 40th Anniversary when Tamia, Mya, Monica and Deborah Cox sang Heal The World?? If Alexandra could pull of a version of that song which equals it, then that would be an amazing choice of song for her
Here it is in case nobody remembers... (doesn't DC sound like Whitney's double?)

Hmmm, I'm not sure yet. Like you I think I'll have to give it a bit of thought and look back through some tracks. 
Diana has to sing 'Ben'
Laura has to sing 'come together'
Rachel 'the way you make me feel'
Eughon 'rock with you'
Laura has to sing 'come together'
Rachel 'the way you make me feel'
Eughon 'rock with you'
Honestly, I think there's only maybe 2 or 3 people who could pull off an MJ track... Alex, Rachel and Laura could do good versions of songs if they get the right songs and the right arrangements..
No doubt that the Spanish bird will sing Todo Mi Amor Eres Tu (I Just Can’t Stop Loving You) in Spanish ... pfff

You're right about Ben. Diana has a quiet voice so she'd probably be better with something like that.
I think 'The Way You Make Me Feel' could be a decent one for Alex actually.

LOL, Oh god how predictible would that be ..
Admittedly, I Just Can't Stop Loving You does sound beautiful in Spanish but it's becoming a bit gimmicky now with her half English half Spanish songs.. Just screaming out at me as a dot on the card though..
I LOOOVE Will You Be There but can't imagine any of them singing that song unfortunately.. That song is just EPIC
I dunno. Laura could maybe do 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You'. She could go big on the chorus.
Maybe Eoghan will do 'Got To Be There', that would be quite cute for him.

I bet Alex could have a decent stab at that.
You think Rachel might do 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'?

Alex could probably have a decent stab at anything but I want the best song for her so it needs to be more than a decent stab.. Needs to be a case of ''she went seven inches in''
LOOL At the song choice Rachel.. So fitting
Didn't Austin sing a Michael Jackson song during bootcamp?? I think he'll do that one again.... I hope so anyway. I think it was called 'She's Out of My Life'.

I might write in with that one.

Oh that's a beautiful song that, I don't think he'd go far wrong doing that one.
Would be cool to see Eggonlegs do Frosty the Snowman or Santa Claus... or Rachel take on Thriller!
Can't see the real biggies (Beat It, Thriller, Billie Jean) being attempted...
Daniel – She’s Out Of My Life
Rachel – I Just Can’t Stop Loving You
Ruth – Liberian Girl (for the Iberian Girl)
Diana – Ben or One Day In Your Life or You Are Not Alone
Alex – Heal The World (she’s probably got the best voice for Jacko songs)
Laura – Who’s Lovin’ You or Earth Song
Scott – Never Can Say Goodbye
Austin – Human Nature or Farewell My Summer Love
Eoghan – I’ll Be There
JLS – medley of ABC & I Want You Back
Girlband – We Are The World
Other alternates… ( a lot available!)
Man In The Mirror
Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
Bad
Thriller
Beat It
Billie Jean
Rock With You
Dirty Diana
Smooth Criminal
The Way You Make Me Feel
Remember The Time
Wanna Be Startin Somethin
It'll come down to who gets first choice on the songs - Diana needs something suited to her pace and voice, and could suffer with a bad choice. JLS could find a string of Jacksons/J5 songs that they could do (and probably Girl Band too).
I can see the majority of the soloists trying to get a slower tempo song if possible, after the Scott fiasco.
If Scott gets Bad, then we know Simon wants him out
