So...
who should sing what for 'best of british'

i think a bit of
KT tunstal or duffy for Dianna ( if she's well enough)
Amy Wino for Rachel
Tom Jones for DANIEL LOL??
Westlife for JLS ( knowing Louis its gotta be Westlife)

Coldplay's 'Scientist' would be good for eoghan
or james blunt or one of the scripts songs.

what do we think ruth and Alex will sing???

Ruth should sing Jamelia's 'see it in a boys eyes' or superstar.
and daniel should do if there's any justice in the world ( lemar)

maybe Alex could do 'Corinne Bailey Rae'

Best of british will not have songs released in the last 10 years in it much. You might get Amy Winehouse but you'll get lots of Beatles, Queen etc before you get Duffy and Coldplay.

Will You, by Hazel O'Connor, for Rachel. Though I'd also like her to sing Grace Jones' Pull Up To The Bumper, but I dont think its too dancey maybe.

I'm finding it easier to think of songs for the others rather than Rachel.

Elton John has to figure in here somewhere I hope.

AND Please not Tom Jones for Daniel!

Dido for Diana.

Westlife/Blue/Boyzone for JLS

Rachel could do SHOUT by Lulu

Alex could do a Gabrielle song Rise would be fab

Just a few thoughts

Wham's Jitterbug for JLS, only with much improved dancing.

Edited to say proper title is Wake me up before you go, go.

Ruth will not sing Candle in the Wind I am sure of that no one will touch that song if they are sensible, due to the Princess Diana connection, wrong or right I do not believe we will hear that on this show.

Your Song by Elton is nice but a bit boring due to lack of content in lyrics,

Daniel could SING Daniel!

Also you have Dont let the Sun go Down On Me

Sacrifice another fab Elton song, and Im Still Standing which is more upbeat than the others. |And of course Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

I am sure they will choose one of his, it would be an insult not to in my opinion.

Then of course we have McCartney, although written while with the Beatles, Yesterday is very much thought of as his song, so another ballad!

Queen, well they better include some how about Slade, Kinks, Manfred Mann, Gerry and the Pacemakers, now come on who gets to sing!

You'll Never Walk Alone!!!!!!!!!!

Eggnog will do yesterday or long and winding road by the Beatles. Simon has form with people singing those songs.

I'd say Ruth will do a Rock song, her best performances have been purple rain and Knockin on Heavens door which are both rocky, If Dannii has missed that then shes an idiot. Give her Paint it Black by Rolling Stones or a Queen song (bohemian Rhapsody to close the show with)

Rachel will do Amy Winehouse.

Daniel can do any old Elton John crapfest

JLS, i have no idea ,but people suggesting Boyzone and Westlife need to do a geography lesson, they are both southern Irish, which is not British.

Alex, tough one also, maybe a Dusty Springfield song, son of a preacher man could be awesome.

Diana, maybe tears in heaven by Eric Clapton or go for it with a Who song, Baba O Reilly maybe. I do think she'll do a Radiohead song though, I've heard they are one of her favourite bands, maybe do fake plastic trees or high and dry.

If Ruth is not doing a rock song she HAS to do I Who Have Nothing. It'd be criminal to do anything else (unless , as I said she's doing a good rock song)

Aren't Boyzone and Westlife Irish not British? I get so confused over the UK/GB/British Isles thing.

Anyway...
We all know that Rachel is pretty much a cert to do Amy Winehouse or Duffy or something along those lines, Diana too.

I hope there's Beatles and Queen tracks in there somewhere! Big fan

I wonder if Rachel could pull Lulu's 'Shout' off. All the audience would be jiggling about to that.

I think some of the ones chosen here are way to recent, I think you will find they go back further than that normally.

Son of Preacher Man, oh please NOT again how many shows has it been on.

Diana could sing something with Ive been ILL in the lyrics!
