Suggest songs for Big Band week

[Vanessa]

This theme is hard i think. :suspect:


Abi : Smile, Nat King Cole
Hannah : Proud Mary, Tina Turner
Tamera : Get happy

Luke Friend : Feeling good, Muse version, Me and Mrs Jones, Moondance by Van Morrison
Nicholas : Mack the knife, Bobby Darin
Sam C : It had to be you, Frank Sinatra

Rough Copy : Dean Martin, Ain't that a kick in the head

Sam B : New York, New York

[Vanessa]

This theme should suit Nicholas best, but i dread to think which song Louis will give him. :conf2:

[joeysteele]

I could actually see a good show with those choices Vanessa to be fair.

The songs would test some really hard the only change I would make is I would give Sam C. 'Mack the knife',I think it could really suit his tone and style.

Nicholas is an easy one here, I am sure no matter what he sings all the judges will say he was wonderful and I can already see Abi singing 'Smile'.
'Smile' is a song I really like myself.

Good choices Vanessa.

[BigSister]

smiles a good choice for abi i would like to see sam b doing that old devil called love or maybe tamara

[Vanessa]

I'm sure Luke will pick a great song. He knows his music well and he always gives 110 %. I want to see him wearing a suit. He'd look adorable! :hugesmile:

[Samm]

Ugh big band week

[Vanessa]

Ugh big band week

It's a good theme. Anyone with a good voice will be fine. Sam B will be amazing, but i think Sam C will struggle. He isn't a big belter.

[Vanessa]

Someone suggested "I got my mind set on you", George Harrison. Omg! That would be perfect! :amazed:

[Vanessa]

I think Abi would suit Nat King Cole as well.

[Vanessa]

I like the idea of someone singing Hanky Panky for this. Maybe Tamera? :hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

Oh I like Moondance for Luke Vanessa, love that song

[Vanessa]

Oh I like Moondance for Luke Vanessa, love that song

I think it would suit him. What do you think about Muse Feeling good? I love that version. :love:

[Vanessa]

Hannah could sing Fever, Beyonce'. It would really suit her.

[Vanessa]

I don't want to hear anyone murdering any Billy Holiday or Ella Fitzerald songs. :nono::joker:

[Niamh.]

I think it would suit him. What do you think about Muse Feeling good? I love that version. :love:

Yeah, that could work as well, it's a great song. I love Big band week actually

[Vanessa]

I want to see him sing something slow. I know he can pull it off. :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

Robbie Williams did a great swing album. I wonder if anyone will do one of his songs. Maybe Nicholas? :suspect:

Robbie Williams can't sing very well either so maybe Sam should choose one of his? :laugh:

[Cherie]

Delighted to say I will miss Big Band week. Horrible theme usually.

It depends from the songs. Usually i like it. :hugesmile:

[Vanessa]

I think Mack the knife would suit Sam C actually. :)

[Vanessa]

I heard that Sam C already has a song. I wonder if it's "That's life"? :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Someone suggested Public Enemy "Don't believe the hype" for Sam. Oh god no! Just no! :eek::nono::bawling:

[Cherie]

I think Mack the knife would suit Sam C actually. :)

and there is another reason for hating Big Band Week, Mack the Knife such an awful song.

[Vanessa]

I like the song, but contestants always manage to ruin it. :joker:

[Vanessa]

House of pain "Jump Around" would be good for Sam C. :blush:

[Vanessa]

Frank Sinatra "It had to be you" would suit Sam C i think.

[Niamh.]

House of pain "Jump Around" would be good for Sam C. :blush:

That's not a Show Band song though :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Apparently he already has a song. Feeling good, maybe? :suspect:

[Vanessa]

Does Madonna "Vogue" qualify for this theme? I love the song. :hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

I wouldn't have thought so no

[Vanessa]

I wouldn't have thought so no

I think Louis will give him a Robbie Williams song. Not sure which one qualifies though.

For who, Jesus? Sam? :shocked::hugesmile:

For anyone - it's a great song for big bands. I don't watch x-factor, so I don't know any of the contestants apart from the guy in your sig.

That was a compliment actually :idc:

I like 'Mack the knife' too, it is not a great song by any means but for me I can see Sam C. maybe making a fairly good job of it, it is not really a vocally demanding song either.

I also recall 'Eton Road' doing it in the big band week that series and for me they did it pretty good.

What do you think about Muse Feeling Good for Luke? I think it would suit his style. :blush:

Ugh big band week

Init! Judges love to say to the singers "is that relevant" " so dated" and yet so far we've had the 80's, disco week and big band. :nono:


Nicholas-ain't that a kick in the head
Rough copy-luck be a lady

Is summertime big band because if it is Tamara will probably sing that.

[Vanessa]

Is summertime big band because if it is Tamara will probably sing that.

Yes. That would really suit her. I like the song.

[Shaun]

I know they'll pick obvious songs but I think these could work for them:

Abi - "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole. It's one of my favourite songs, and I hate her, so I shouldn't want this, but I think it would be the ideal song choice for someone like her.
Hannah - "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Nina Simone. Her voice is dying for some Nina.
Tamera - "My Funny Valentine", the Ella version. Beautiful song, could suit her voice well.

Luke - maybe "The Girl from Ipanema" or "Summer Wind".
Nicholas - "The Quest (The Impossible Dream)" by Andy Williams. Ideal way to prove his vocal credentials, and a great, moving song.
Sam C - "Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Buble. It's a bit crap and a bit campy so I guess it suits him.

Sam B - "Mad About the Boy" by Dinah Washington... it's quite theatrical, but I dunno if she could stretch it vocally. Maybe "What a Difference a Day Makes" or "Fool That I Am" instead.

Rough Copy - i worry they'll get something cheesy like "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" but i don't really know what they'd work with

Interesting song choices. I don't know those songs you picked for Luke, but i'll check them out. :hugesmile:
