October 2, 201113 yr X Factor and Steps. Could there be a worse musical combination than that? I do, of course, use the word "musical" in its loosest sense. i think now they could be quite decent live. clare was robbed on popstar to operastar. maybe they could just let her dominate to drown out lisa, lee and h! faye always had a decentish live vocal
October 2, 201113 yr Author I've just thought of another song I wouldn't mind being bigger. Paloma Faith-Upside Down. Although being used on every advert hasn't helped it chart high.
October 2, 201113 yr A few more songs i'd like to mention: Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter - it re-entered the top 100 on itunes off the back of the Cannonball surge so this could be easy if someone performs it. Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice - Grammy winner and celebrated comeback single after Natalie Maines told the world what she thought about George Bush. Think it peaked really low here. Regina Spektor - Fidelity - I remember many had high hopes for this but it just missed the top 40 but has been used countless times in adverts and on tv programmes since.....
October 2, 201113 yr I've just thought of another song I wouldn't mind being bigger. Paloma Faith-Upside Down. Although being used on every advert hasn't helped it chart high. her first album is amazing. i always thought Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful (the single) peaked too low. I am buzzed on by album tracks like 'Don't You Remember' by Adele being used this year. maybe they are going for songs more suitable to their voice rather than the big hits!!!
October 2, 201113 yr I haven't actually but remember all the fuss about it.. It's a glorious song without it as well though
October 2, 201113 yr Well, considering she had a slot on The X Factor last year with that very song, I think it's fair to say it wouldn't do anything with a contestant singing it... Yes, but it was nowhere near the official release. The perfomance did get it to #67 though :)
October 2, 201113 yr And as im a huge kylie fan, id love a kylie week that would see breathe, some kind of bliss, bettter than today or the one make the top 10. Yes! Kylie week! :w00t: I guess they could do one next year to celebrate 25 years in the music industry, if it's not done this year :D
October 2, 201113 yr Yes, but it was nowhere near the official release. The perfomance did get it to #67 though :) Official release dates don't count for anything anymore though! Having a song performed on national television to 10+ million (I looked this episode up; it received 15.04 million - the second highest figure of the series, only behind the final), and it should guarantee a HUGE hit single! Alas, the song was not very good, so nobody bought it, and I doubt a poor cover version would make people want to change their minds on it.
October 2, 201113 yr And anyway, a prerequisite of these recharting songs is they have to already be well-known. Better Than Today is not.
October 2, 201113 yr One more song that criminally underperformed but I don't think I could bear being mauled by a contestant... Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
October 8, 201113 yr Apparently Amelia is singing 'Already Gone' by Kelly Clarkson tonight. That could be huge over here if she performs that well.
October 8, 201113 yr Birdy - Skinny Love Adele - Set Fire To The Rain Hurts - Wonderful Life maybe some Miley Cyrus song so she finally gets a UK Top.10 hit Edited October 8, 201113 yr by rors
October 8, 201113 yr Birdy - Skinny Love Its already been performed twice and so I doubt it will go top 10 unfortunatley.
October 8, 201113 yr Some more from me, with who I'd like to sing them: Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me - Amelia Alanis Morrisette - Ironic (SHOCKING this missed top 10!) - Amelia Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me - Amelia or Sami Delta Goodrem - Not Me, Not I - Amelia Delta Goodrem - I Can't Break It To My Heart - Sami Delta Goodrem - Believe Again (is it even on UK iTunes? I know Delta was randomly not released here :() - Kitty? Fantasia - Bittersweet (not released/pushed in the UK but I'm sure the album's on iTunes) - Misha Gabriella Cilmi - Defender - Sami Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight - Misha or Amelia Kate Bush - This Woman's Work - Kitty? (I know it's more Janet but I couldn't BEAR her murdering this) Katy Perry - Thinking Of You - Amelia Laura Marling - Devil's Spoke - Janet Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers - Janet Lykke Li - I'm Good I'm Gone - Janet Mariah Carey - I Stay In Love - Amelia or Misha Mary J Blige - Be Without You - Misha Miley Cyrus - When I Look At You - Amelia Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man - Jonjo, Janet James or Frankie Nerina Pallot - Everybody's Gone To War - Janet Paramore - The Only Exception - Amelia Rihanna - Rehab - Misha Sia - Breathe Me - Amelia or Janet
October 8, 201113 yr SO many Alanis songs should have made the top 10 :P A fair few would suit an X-factor performance like Uninvited :wub:
October 8, 201113 yr Janet has a version of 'Us' by Regina Spektor on youtube. that would be an awesome choice for a song that undeservedly never charted in the uk
October 16, 201113 yr And Martin Solveig - Hello. You never know, it could be a group performance :kink: That is so weird... Im stunned hahaha
January 8, 201312 yr Tori Amos - Winter REM - Losing My Religion Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day
