(Best Of British) Rock Songs that will suit Ruth Lorenzo
So everyone has been impressed with the Rock songs Ruth has been performing in the bottom 2.
I really do believe if she does these in the main shows she can make the final. A lot of people are hoping Dannii gives Ruth a good Rock Song this week as it is a wide open theme "Best Of British". So what British song can Ruth do this week ? I'm not really familliar with whats British, american etc. So I wanted to know what you thought ? She needs something really big and massive. |

Something by Ultravox might work. Vienna or Dancing With Tears In My Eyes?
A really good one would be The Pretenders' Brass In Pocket, but I don't know if they'd allow it as Chrissie Hynde is American - the rest of the band were Brits though, including the co-writer of the song. |

Long and winding road by the Beatles ....slow but then with a crescendo to the chorus....i think ruth would do a great job on this and make it really emotional!

No, remember Danni mentioned bringing out the rock chick thing way back.
Just please not another retread - we had Total Eclipse last year. I wouldn't go for BoRhap, it's not really a soloist's song. |

Somebody to Love. Look at THIS performance. Ruth would bring the house down with that! And the vocals are on par with hers!

She reads all the e-mails sent to her via her website, so anybody with suggestions should let her know, so she doesn't get yet another crap song choice.
Perhaps this time Dannii will let Ruth pick her own songs like she does with Rachel almost every week. |

Queen are massively overused though. I don't tnink Knocking On Heaven's Doo suited Ruth, as it works better done more subtly than she did it.
I think she should do either Soulmate (Natasha Bedingfield) or Stay (Shakespeare's Sister) - she could rock either oner up a bit and neither has been used on XF before ![]() Hope she gets through this week though. Next time there;s a broad theme I think she should sing a belter by Alanis or Avril, maybe even Evanescence ![]() xxxx |

Leona did 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeplin at the Olympics:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W0sCO9yZQfM I think Ruth could do a good version. |

She was to choose a song within the boundaries set by the theme weeks, she can't choose another Purple Rain out of nowhere!!
