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

Yes I know but you do realise how loosely X Factor uses themes right? :lol: Anything that has big band instruments in it or can be arranged as such will pass!

I don't see how this had big band instruments in it.

 

Big Band is 40s - Sinatra - Glenn Miller - Sammy Davis Jr. Ella Fitzgerald - Bing Crosby - Mills Brothers - Ink Spots - Andrews Sisters etc.

And how many times have we heard any of the above on the show?

it's not so much big band artists as big band backing track
Someone could possibly do 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This?'

That's why the theme is such a farse.

this song really showcases his vocal talent, definitely a return to form for him

 

8.5/10 Andrea Faustini - Summetime

So Andreas is on first while Strictly is still on, will this impact on him negatively?

Absolutely nobody can touch Fantasia's performance of this on American Idol in 2003, not even Leona. That was quite good, vocally on point as always so I can't fault him there. It was just a bit shouty for this song I think, I know it's a really tough song to sing but he didn't have the emotional connection (which I actually felt was more present last week). Still, a great performance overall.

 

01 Andrea Faustini - Summertime 7.5/10

That was really meh from Andrea, good vocally but quite boring and no light and shade.

 

05.0 Andrea Faustini

Pretty much safe performance, sounded he was in his comfort zone with that performance 4/10
It was Viva Forever Mel.
