Don't think it's going to be this one, though, from what georgietur has hinted.”

I agree. I had forgotten all about the version by Jamie. It would have suited Leon down to the ground.

Jive Talkin'
How Deep Is Your Love seems to have bee ruled out
Stayin' Alive
Night Fever
More Than A Woman seems to have been rules out.
Tragedy

Of that lot, maybe Night Fever?”

I have memories of Will Young on Pop Idol. Night Fever is more known than my recent suggestion.

We can discount Tragedy surely!

The only thing is that has there been a more modern version of that which is well known?

Could it be a song maybe the Bee Gee's have written for someone else? any ideas?

I think More than a Woman would be for him to sing; was covered by a 90's boyband too 911... Are they on tour?

We can prob discount Tragedy and Stayin' Alive. Plus I dont think Dannii would've given him Night Fever - it just wouldn't suit him

Adam Garcia sang a great version on the West End stage and it got in the charts too. Dont want Leon to sing it though.

He actually did a pretty good job of that...

Hardly a big hit though....I don't think it is this one, tbh, doesn't seem to fit.

Recap anyone,I'm lost - I have 2 pc screens open as i'm working on the other one.

What have we discounted and what are possibles...we've decided that georgie may have felt I was warm with Bee Gees.

I think it would just invite ridicule if it is Night Fever or Staying Alive as Brian would have Leon dancing far too much.I dont like Staying Alive at all either.
