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.

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

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 14-11-2014 06:22 PM

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 14-11-2014 06:23 PM

Leona singing Summertime >

Andrea is such a cliché

Cherie 14-11-2014 06:26 PM

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

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

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 14-11-2014 06:30 PM

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- 14-11-2014 06:33 PM

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 14-11-2014 06:35 PM

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- 14-11-2014 06:36 PM

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 14-11-2014 06:37 PM

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.

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- 14-11-2014 06:39 PM

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 14-11-2014 06:40 PM

still waiting for a Nicki Minaj week

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.

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.

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.

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

Mystic Mock 14-11-2014 06:51 PM

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

Vanessa 14-11-2014 07:00 PM

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 14-11-2014 07:06 PM

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.
