November 10, 20168 yr I love the song but Sam Bailey sang it which tells you all you need to know. Just like River Deep, Mountain it's a bit 2007 generic over song just so they have to sing something that isn't a ballad once :lol: Saara will slay it though, there are fewer vocalists that give you more of a chance to show off your pipes than Barbra Streisand *.* Also Honey G is doing Bee Gees lmao Sam is doing Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive Matt seem to be doing Best Of My Love by The Emotions (I can see him singing Ella Eyre's recent version)
November 10, 20168 yr Honey G really should have done Rapper's Delight. What a missed opportunity there.
November 10, 20168 yr Lol No More Tears is exactly what I predicted/wanted her to sing. It's iconic and she will smash it.
November 10, 20168 yr Looking back, Enough Is Enough gave Sam her biggest vote domination of the series from the pimp slot. I know just seeing the difference between percentages isn't the "proper" way of analysing them, but her 12.9% lead over second place in Disco week was the biggest lead she ever had. Hopefully that means the song is a typical vote grabber.
November 10, 20168 yr Saara seems to be singing No More Tears (Enough Is Enough). I don't know the song off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'll recognise it. I just hope there's a chance to show off big vocals in the song! If it's the one that goes ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH quite high key. She will own it.
November 11, 20168 yr Author Full list: Overs Saara Aalto: No More Tears (Enough is Enough) Honey G: Stayin’ Alive Girls Emily Middlemas: Wishing on a Star Sam Lavery: I Will Survive Boys Ryan Lawrie: Play That Funky Music Matt Terry: Best of My Love Groups 5 After Midnight: Boogie Wonderland Happy with Ryan's choice! It was one of my favourite performances of Luke Friend's when he did it a few years back :D
November 11, 20168 yr Good god disco week and they STILL have Emily do a ballad :rofl: This is a joke. Pretty crap list of songs, it would have been nice to have some recent disco inspired songs. Excited for Saara ofc :wub:
November 11, 20168 yr I just remembered that Honey G can still do a rap to 'Stayin Alive' as there is the N-Trance/Ricardo Da Force rap version from the 90s, so that's good. Boring song choice for Emily and Ryan's song choice doesn't do him any favours either.
November 11, 20168 yr Author Ryan's got the best song choice possible while sticking to the theme I think, I can't judge too far without seeing the performance of course but this is the first week in ages (since week 1??) where I've been happy with his song choice tbh.
November 11, 20168 yr Author Emily probably turned Get Lucky down for not being current enough :basil:
November 11, 20168 yr Ryan is going to be AWFUL this week then, based on that. He doesn't have anywhere near enough personality to do something like that.
November 11, 20168 yr Yeah, I knew they'd give Saara song and there's no better disco song really to allow the vocals to belt and shine more than this one so even if it's obvious, it could be fantastic. Looking at that song list, I think Sam is most in trouble of not seeming like she gave the song enough fight to "survive" or something.
November 11, 20168 yr Looking back, Enough Is Enough gave Sam her biggest vote domination of the series from the pimp slot. I know just seeing the difference between percentages isn't the "proper" way of analysing them, but her 12.9% lead over second place in Disco week was the biggest lead she ever had. Hopefully that means the song is a typical vote grabber.Wasn't it Sam's first (and only? :unsure:) first attempt at doing uptempo though? I guess people were just extra surprised that she could pull it off as well as she did. Whereas with Saara, it might be seen to some viewers that it's "more of the same". She really could've done with a huge ballad that gives the public reason to support and get behind her, this week and I think it might set her up for the fall! :( Obviously I hope not and I know the theme was shit to do a ballad, but they should've just had a new theme altogether. The disco theme is not wanted nor is it needed!
November 17, 20168 yr Pretty sure Saara is doing My Heart Will Go On this week which is EXACTLY the song I wanted her to get when I saw this theme. Gives her so much room to show all sides of her spectacular vocal and could be enough to keep her out of the bottom 2. From the clues, it adds it somewhat that Emily is doing Unchained Melody and 5am are doing Home by Michael Buble, both seem odd choices though so it could just be/others deciphering the clues wrong.
November 17, 20168 yr I can't figure out what 5am's song is :lol: I don't think it's Home, they said covered by Michael Buble and he co-wrote Home. Saara's is PERFECT, exactly what she needs *.*
November 17, 20168 yr Yep it's a predictable choice for Saara, but she has the vocals to pull it off spectacularly rather than be a sub-par version of Celine as most overs on this show would be. Saara adores Celine too so I imagine it's the song she most wanted to sing too. Glad she's got a ballad, and it feels like a song that is pimp-slot worthy. As long as the staging isn't odd, then it looks like they are rolling with her momentum for one more week at least!
November 17, 20168 yr Oh okay, I think 5am may actually be doing Try A Little Tenderness which is more fitting.
