Posted November 9, 201410 yr Theme: Big Band Guests: Nicole Scherzinger & Olly Murs Edited November 9, 201410 yr by AltheGreat
November 9, 201410 yr Although I always find Big Bang week pretty pointless, it normally means the contestants have to showcase their vocals more so the real standout performers are always more evident. 2 shots for every time you hear "out of my/your comfort zone"...

November 9, 201410 yr They could be quite clever and make this theme a bit more current... There are a lot of current songs with prominent horn/brass led parts (for example Crazy Stupid Love and Problem) that they could "big band"ify a bit like Emeli Sandé did with Crazy In Love in The Great Gatsby. That would make it a bit more current than the usual Feeling Good, Bewitched, Ain't That A Kick In The Head and Cry Me A River, but of course they won't do that. Lady Gaga's version of Bang Bang for Lauren *.* Or Patsy Cline's Walking After Midnight, not proper big band I know but it would fit the set-up.
November 9, 201410 yr Fleur to do Problem including the Iggy rap *.* I always liked Big Band week, but it seems a bit uninspired as usual Edited November 9, 201410 yr by Timmy SZN
November 9, 201410 yr I wonder who will do 'Feeling Good'? Probably Lauren like a Carly Rose Sonenclar from X Factor USA version :P
November 9, 201410 yr Fleur needs to sing Candyman or Ain't No Other Man. Alexandra did the former in big band week and both have a cabaret/jazzy/swing feel! She maybe shouldn't do the same song as Alexandra but Ain't No Other Man could fit into Big Band and it'd be amazing, plus slightly more modern than the usual clichés.
November 9, 201410 yr LOL Nicole "Tens of albums sold!" Crazy In Love or Aint No Other Man would be good for Fleur. Toxic Glee style would have been perfect for Only The Young but Chloe already performed it :(. Not sure what they can do actually, hope it isnt something too cliche.
November 9, 201410 yr I bet Lauren will get Feeling Good. Cheryl really hasn't been too imaginative with her choices for her, except Dark Horse... LOL Nicole "Tens of albums sold!" Crazy In Love or Aint No Other Man would be good for Fleur. Toxic Glee style would have been perfect for Only The Young but Chloe already performed it :(. Not sure what they can do actually, hope it isnt something too cliche. Hit The Road Jack would be good for OTY! And omg yes Emeli Sandé's version of Crazy In Love would be amazing for Fleur :wub: This doesn't seem like a theme that would fit her but there are so many good choices for her. She could do Proud Mary or River Deep Mountain High too!
November 12, 201410 yr Another pointless theme - I'll give this one a miss WOT - No Michael Buble on Big Band Night results show - That Must Be A First!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: Edited November 14, 201410 yr by euro music
November 12, 201410 yr I hate big band week, just that kind of music does nothing for me and seeing OTY, Stevi and SK butcher that kind of music is even worse.

She could do Proud Mary or River Deep Mountain High too! What have Proud Mary or River Deep Mountain High got to to with Big Band Week Proud Mary is a country rock song and River Deep Mountain High a Phil Spector song. - Both these are 60s Big Band is 40s - Sinatra - Glenn Miller - Sammy Davis Jr. Ella Fitzgerald - Bing Crosby - Mills Brothers - Ink Spots - Andrews Sisters etc. Edited November 14, 201410 yr by euro music
