Oh I was late this week :laugh:

:lovedup: at Fleur reprising Bang Bang, she's safe with that, no need to worry.

Urgh at the same old Smile, Cry Me A River though, Ben is so MOTR now that it's painful.

[Vanessa]

Andrea has one of my favourite songs ever! OMGGGG! :cheer2:

[girlfighter24]

I really like Ben song choice

[erinp5]

[erinp5]

Only The Young
I Wanna Be Like You (From The Jungle Book)

aimed at the cbeebies age group then .

[Liam-]

Summertime is in my top 10 favourite songs of all time, Andrea is going to smash it :lovedup:

Everyone else.. I'm not too excited for really.

[Shaun]

OTY vs. SK bottom two then since SK have left it 'til last minute

yaaaaaas @ me predicting Fleur's choice :flutter:

[Vanessa]

Summertime is in my top 10 favourite songs of all time, Andrea is going to smash it :lovedup:

Everyone else.. I'm not too excited for really.

I knew Andrea liked jazz! I saw a clip of him singing at a jazz festival in Italy and he was AMAZING! :love:

[Mystic Mock]

Fleur cheating the theme as it's not a Big Band song, and I remember how Jamie Archer was received doing a U2 song in his series on Big Band and I don't see how this is any different.

And Andrea will be slaughtered by Leona fans.

It seems like Simon can do whatever he wants since it's his show :/

And I'm a Leona fan but i hated her version of Summertime, i much preferred Ruth's, but I'm sure Andrea is going to put his name on it.

[Strictly Jake]

I think for once they have all got it spot on, apart from Louis! Shows what a naff mentor he is. I thought it would be only the young vs stereo kicks bottom two anyway and it looks like I might be right. So excited for Fleur and Ben my two favourites in the competition :) I think Andrea is going to be the stand out of the night

[Amy Jade]

Leona singing Summertime >

Andrea is such a cliché

[Cherie]

Bang Bang is not a big band song, :nono: but at least we have been spared Mack the Knife

[Vanessa]

Bang Bang is not a big band song, :nono: but at least we have been spared Mack the Knife

:worship:

[Liam-]

The best version of Summertime I've heard on a singing show is Fantasia from AI, hopefully he does something similar to that.

[Mystic Mock]

It seems like Simon can do whatever he wants since it's his show :/

And I'm a Leona fan but i hated her version of Summertime, i much preferred Ruth's, but I'm sure Andrea is going to put his name on it.

It's annoying because if Lauren, Ben, or Andrea did their own style of Music on Big Band they would be crucified, especially by the “uptempo” crowd.

[Shaun]

really, nobody cares

Fleur would never enter into a world of releasing big band music, and I wish the UK's fixation with tedious, soulless pudding-faced crooners like Buble and Groban would piss off.

the theme, really, is that they're all going to be performed by a live band there on the night. Forcing them all to sing songs that were out 60 years ago is neither productive nor interesting.

[Liam-]

It doesn't matter what genre they're going to go out into after the show though, it's about there being a theme and people sticking to it, they should be able to show their versatility.

Look at the backlash Tulisa got when she gave Little Mix a Kesha song on rock week, there was uproar, so i don't see how it's fair for Simon to ignore the theme himself.

[Mystic Mock]

Don't say it's Big Band week if one of them is going to skip it.

He will do his own version and it's going to be amazing, as always. :flutter:

[Liam-]

And the excuse 'It's got trumpets in the song' is hardly a good excuse either, if that is what defines big band, then they might as well give SK 'Down with the trumpets' by Rizzle Kicks :laugh:

[Shaun]

Well I'm all for the abolition of themed weeks to be honest :laugh: Unless they're really broad like UK #1s, Queen/MJ... maybe some better ideas that're more current would be a sort of 'Live Lounge' week with acoustic/stripped-back current songs rather than 'big band' ones.

Not one of them are going to release big band music, and to be honest no one has on the show since Leon Jackson. Pretending it's an interesting genre to anyone other than the nannas is futile.

I mean expecting Fleur/Only the Young to do big band is no different to expecting Andrea or Ben to do hip-hop.

[Adamw92]

Fleur cheating the theme as it's not a Big Band song, and I remember how Jamie Archer was received doing a U2 song in his series on Big Band and I don't see how this is any different.

And Andrea will be slaughtered by Leona fans.

Of course he will but then Leona's version is what got everyone thinking she was an actual contender. His won't compare but I'm sure he'll sing it well. Not too happy with Lauren's song choice but I'm sure she'll pull it off anyway.

[Liam-]

I don't think there should be themes either, just let them choose the songs they like and suit them best and let them get on with it i think, but since there are themes, i believe they should be stuck to :laugh:

I would love an 'unplugged' week tbh.

[Shaun]

still waiting for a Nicki Minaj week

[Mystic Mock]

And the excuse 'It's got trumpets in the song' is hardly a good excuse either, if that is what defines big band, then they might as well give SK 'Down with the trumpets' by Rizzle Kicks :laugh:

What makes you think that they haven't given Stereo Kicks that song? The production could be trying to protect them like they're doing with Fleur.

Are the 3 pets going to be on in the last 3 this week? Meaning Fleur, Stereo Kicks, and Jay.

You know what, knowing Louis it wouldn't surprise me if they had been given it.. but they're probably going to be doing something by the Rat Pack, 'That's Life probably.

You can pretty much assure one of those 3 will be last, more so Jay than anybody else.

[Mystic Mock]

I liked Leona's version of Summertime (despite hating the song) but I know that when Andrea does an inferior version of it he'll be torn apart.

And with Lauren I think she will do okay tomorrow, it just depends on if the performance will be good enough to attract votes though.

[Adamw92]

I liked Leona's version of Summertime (despite hating the song) but I know that when Andrea does an inferior version of it he'll be torn apart.

It's to be expected though to be fair. If they're gonna insist on giving him all these big diva songs (some or most of which have been done on the show before) then he's gonna be compared to superior performances of the songs.

And with Lauren I think she will do okay tomorrow, it just depends on if the performance will be good enough to attract votes though.

I hope you're right, it really worked for Diana and I think Lauren's voice will sound wonderful on the song.

[Mystic Mock]

Lauren suits more modern Pop Music to me, but Smile is probably the best choice for her this week.

[Vanessa]

Stereo kicks still haven't decided which song to sing? D:D:D:

[Mystic Mock]

Stereo kicks still haven't decided which song to sing? D:D:D:

They're probably trying to find a song that suits him.

[joeysteele]

Oh no,some of those are awful, not I wanna be like you again,didn't Katie Waissal do that when she was on for this same week.

Why near always the same songs.

[Vanessa]

They're probably trying to find a song that suits him.

But they won't have enough time to learn the song. :o

[TiBB Frontpage Article]

As long our favourites go through who cares is what I say?:joker:

True! :smug::fan:

[Vanessa]

Andrea loves jazz. This is him singing at a Jazz festival a few years ago.

[girlfighter24]

Does anybody think that Ben could be in danger because of song choice

[Vanessa]

Does anybody think that Ben could be in danger because of song choice

yes, i do. that song has been done to death.

[Mystic Mock]

The women that fancy him, and the guys who have got a male crush on Ben should save him I think.

[Black Dagger]

And the fact he's nowhere near the bottom of the pack in terms of talent anyway.

[Mystic Mock]

And the fact he's nowhere near the bottom of the pack in terms of talent anyway.

But his like Lauren for not moving around the stage very much, heck he doesn't even take a few steps on most of his performances lol.

I do like Ben though, but I just find it strange that a Rocker is stuck by the Mic-Stand and not move in the slightest.

Btw I had a look at who doesn't like Lauren on DS, I only did it quick but it seems to follow the FB crowd.

3 Girls didn't like Lauren, 1 guy didn't like Lauren, and 1 N/A didn't like Lauren.

[Mystic Mock]

I'll be doing Ben next.

Bloodbath and bottom 2 alert

[erinp5]

What are stereokicks singing ?

[Shaun]

those seem some very reliable and representative stats Mock

[Black Dagger]

Wouldn't Jay technically be likely to be most popular with the Welsh? They always seem to champion their own.

[Vicky.]

Actually looking forward to jays this week :umm2:

I hate big band week

[Black Dagger]

Actually looking forward to jays this week :umm2:

Yeah I'm rather excited for his mash up :umm2:

What is big band about the Jungle Book?

[Liam-]

Wouldn't Jay technically be likely to be most popular with the Welsh? They always seem to champion their own.

We do, unless they're **** :joker:

[Black Dagger]

What is big band about the Jungle Book?

Stick a few saxophones booming about the place and they are sorted.

I'd rather those type of songs than moondance, moon river that usually get performed every single big band week but we have somehow avoided this year.

Stevi Ritchie
Mambo Number 5/ She Bangs medley (by Lou Bega/Ricky Martin)


Much as I like a good joke act I feel this is too corny and will do for Stevie

he needs to stay serious

[Cold Sweat]

What is big band about the Jungle Book?

Both “I wanna be like you” and “The bare necessities” sound like big band jazz tunes to my ears.

[Mystic Mock]

Wouldn't Jay technically be likely to be most popular with the Welsh? They always seem to champion their own.

I was surprised like you as well.

The same with LukeB with how high Stereo Kicks was on the male audience poll.
