Posted June 9, 201114 yr X Factor judges are close to banning songs by chart topping Adele http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/tv/2011/06/.../#ixzz1OlXXRGUn Rather ironic, given Cowell didn't mind making money out of finalists who sang covers of her songs last year...
June 9, 201114 yr Seriously. I would love it they did that. The last thing I want to hear is Make You Feel My Love sung (badly) a million times in August. I doubt any of them will try to 'tackle' Hometown Glory, Cold Shoulder or Chasing Pavements though... -_-
June 9, 201114 yr Sounds harsh, but I would personally ban covering 'Make You Feel My Love' and probably 'Someone Like You' in the XF. Everything else by her they can go cover. Edited June 9, 201114 yr by FM11
June 9, 201114 yr I was having a convo with a friend on how i am dreading the several countless renditions of Adele songs in the next series of x factor and then i hear this. I hope they do it to be honest.
June 9, 201114 yr Yet we've had to suffer in silence every bloody year when Wetlife's songs are played at every opportunity and all Cowell's x-factor acts are paraded on stage year after year to promote.
June 9, 201114 yr So technically they can still sing 'Make You Feel My Love' given that it's not an Adele song at all?
June 9, 201114 yr Author Now they just need to bad the inevitably atrocious GaGa covers... But once you go down this road, where do you stop?
June 9, 201114 yr Wow, we might have an Adele-free singles chart at some point this year :o We definitely wont. :) Erm, bit odd, but i can imagine everyone covering Adele! :lol: They should just let people sing what they want, but it could become a show of just Adele songs :rofl: Edited June 9, 201114 yr by Karma
June 9, 201114 yr We definitely wont. :) Erm, bit odd, but i can imagine everyone covering Adele but it is a little obvious to cover an Adele song. Top 40, you never know. She has no need to release anything beyond SFTTR, and even if she did it'll probably be "Turning Tables" which has lost some sales pretty early and may underperform similarly to "LoveGame".
June 9, 201114 yr Not going to happen. An act which they have said could potentially be the winner of the entire competition made them all cry with her cover of "Someone Like You". I doubt they'd ban covering her songs, purely for that reason.
June 9, 201114 yr I think banning SLY, MYFML and RITD would be a good idea, although I would love to see a showstopping cover of Cold Shoulder or Set Fire to the Rain. I just wish auditionees would be a bit more imaginitive with their song choices.
June 9, 201114 yr i think they should let contestants sing whatever they want...Her songs are hard and its easy to see who has a good voice. But well if you look it from other angle people sometimes starts to comparing voices and do "She/ he doesnt sound like he/she" comments. Like the time when i saw Scherzinger covering "Rolling in the deep" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrl0KqtGHDo people are like: "Her voice isnt same as Adele" Even thought that makes no sense....
June 9, 201114 yr I just just imagine non stop versions of Adele and Ellie's version of 'your song' constantly.
June 9, 201114 yr What would you guys sing at your audition ? I'd sing 'Set Fire To the Rain' or Pixie Lott 'Can't Make This Over' :wub:
June 9, 201114 yr surely they won't hammer MYFML again? not that I'm not expecting it to be sang again, I think they'll be a new 'chosen song' this year, it was Journey in 2009, Adele in 2010, probably something else in 2011 (Fast Car?) as for SLY and RITD, its inevitable unfortunately and this article probably isn't true, although I do hope people will have at least a speck of originality in them <_<
June 9, 201114 yr What would you guys sing at your audition ? I'd sing 'Set Fire To the Rain' or Pixie Lott 'Can't Make This Over' :wub: I would sing "Fight For This Love" or "The Writer".
