Hi everyone, it's been a while but with everything going on in the world, I thought it was important to step back and educate myself on A LOT of issues. One of my favorite topics pre update was the topic of what songs contestants were gonna sing if they had gone through to the next round and it never got renewed after the update :(. But that is why I am here. I remember very few of the actual songs so please comment them and I will add them!

Chevel’s instant save - “Walking After Midnight” - Patsy Cline 


In fact, she posted a video of her rehearsing it on stage. 

 

 

I can’t remember what Brynn’s was. It was talked about in her thread that got erased with the changeover. I’ll just say it’s a good thing she didn’t have to sing it. That much I remember. ETA: Now I recall it was a Sam Smith song, but I can’t remember which one.

A quote from Joanna Serenko’s thread...

 

“Joanna is on IG Live right now, mentioned that she had been planning to sing "Bring It On Home to Me" by Sam Cooke for the finale. Her original song would have been "Sister of Nostalgia," she worked with Blake and Shane McAnally.” -  rhapsody99
