Default Saturday\'s song choices

Eton Road: Scissor Sisstors - I Don't Feel Like Dancing
MacDonald Brother: Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around
Robert: Michael Jackson - You Are Not Alone
Leona:Simon and Garfunkle- Bridge Over Troubled Water
Ray: Ricky Martin: Livin La Vida Loca
Ben:The Beatles-With A Little Help From My Friends

I cannot say I'm too happy with Eton Road's choice, they've just gone down the camp route again.Slightly dreary choice for Robert but I think he will do it well.

Overall not great choices for such a wide theme.

Eton Road-Was hoping for Take That But i think they will do goo at Scissor Sisters!

MacDs-Predictable but will probs stay in anyway! (unfortunatly)

Robert-Bit dreary-i woulda chose an up-tempo song

Leona-Again predictable-dont see the big fuss over her but i suspect that she will 'blow everyone away' with her voice (again)

Ray-Cant stand him and no matter what he does I never will. He will probs do a swing version of it

Ben-I suspect that he will do the rocky Jarvis Cocker version to suit his voice more.

You say that everyweek lol, I no the other one's alot better then her's i think she has the worse song choice this week.

Bit surprised with what Ben's singing thought he might have done Bryan Adams everything i do, but with a little help from my friend's is still a massive hit from the Beatle's.

Ray singing livin la vida loca im thinking another Chico.

Robert should be good and so should Eton Rd, Burger King Brother's will do rubbish as usual.

Oh No, Eton Roads choice isn't that impressive! Hard song to sing.

Rays is a difficult one to I think, And I love the sont that Leona is singing, She should have another good week.

so its ok for Ben to do rock every week since the live shows started but ray does swing from week 3 onwards and people start having a go at him. at least rays different. theres no swing artists around now. and although i am a fan of rock, there is loads of them and tbh bens sh!t. so ray will be different but ben will be samey and sh!t

Eton Rd - I like this song but they are going for the camp thing again. But what do ya expect with Louis as a mentor.
Them - Safe. easy song choice. They will probably still be **** and still stay in.
Robert - Bit surprised. I hope he does okay.
Leona - A good song. She will do extremely well with this.
Ray - Horrible Song. Just another song for him to make swing and to his horrible dance moves to.
Ben - One of the best songs ever IMO. I think he will do well with this as long as he doesn't over do it.

anyway...
Eton Road - another cheesey one, itll suit them. i think theyll do well.
Mcdonald Bros - whatever they sing itll be sh!t
Robert - i think its quite a good song for him. i think he'll do well.
Leona - they all do that. its a bit too original for her.
Ray - i dont actually think he'll do a swing version. he's tried non-swing before, and it was good.
Ben - i think it will be good for him. especially if he doesn't do the rock vesion. hes never give rock a break. i dont even think rocks the right genre for him.

You wil lnever get a girlfriend if you tell women to shut up when they don't agree with you.

Like I just said, I shall repeat it, just for you... People obviously are not bored of Bens performances, But they ar ebored of Rays...thats what they are getting at! Deal with it!

Eton Road: Hmmm... Camping it up again. Would really like to see them do something different.
MacDonald Brothers: How are these two still in?? Boring choice, boring band
Robert: He could do better tha to choose a song like this but he'l do it justice
Leona:Good song but I'd like so see her really challenging her voice
Ray: Oh dear god!!! Nothing else to say on the matter!
Ben:He'll do it well but still playing safe

im not saying you have to like him, just stop saying hes boring, then thinking ben's good. ben does rock more than ray does swing and theres loads of rock artists today. there are no swing so ben will be boring and the same as everyone else, at least rays different.

I agree with you there but personlly I find Rays style outdated. I think Ben could show us more styles too. But isnt it the case now we're getting closer to the end that they are all staying within their safetly zones?

Both Ray and Ben have great voices. But you cant change peoples opinions of who they like and dont like. And thats why its great to dicuss the differences. I dont beleive that people should shout you down just because of a difference in opinion. I know thats not what you were saying I just think lots of people on here do that and I dont agree with it.
Everyone has the right to like different people And I think a few members should remember that
