If we are continuing with the pop/alt females theme and he already did Kelly Clarkson and Selena Gomez, it seems to me Demi Lovato is an interesting bet.

I'll chop off the head of the producer who gives him anything other than this, next. My theory is that Corey excels in songs that are emotional, but not too gritty. When he sings songs with a lot of gravel in it, he tends to overuse the tremble in his voice. That's why I think Bruises did not work as well as it did on paper. And that's why I think he really needs to stick to singing female ballads, because not only does he get to emote, but his grit on it will give the song new flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have my favorite make it past the playoffs this time around after the tragedy of Sid Kingsley last season. Sid walked so Corey can run!

Bruises was good, but Lewis Capaldi is prone to oversinging, and I feel like Corey tried to match that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to rewatch that without the panic in my head during the live performance and get a better listen. I haven't watched it yet, but I actually really liked the idea of Corey singing this song, I just wasn't convinced it was the song he needed in the moment. Glad he proved me wrong!

VintageVoice Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) If he doesn't do a female alt-pop song, I think "Fix You" - overdone as it is - is right in Corey's wheelhouse, as it's emotional without being overly gritty and (more importantly) it's a well known song that has Minivan appeal.

If Anyone wasn't sung already, I would have thought it to be a brilliant choice for Corey's style. But as @FloorWax said, I would settle for Skyscraper. I think that would lead to an Already Gone 2.0 moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After AI's disastrous Coldplay week, I'm kinda nervous for Corey to tackle Coldplay. But that would be a great fit for him. The Scientist too.

SNI2 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) So... regarding pop females... Katy Perry as an option is out, right? Because The One that got away is right there. Also, Wrecking Ball, by MIley... Edited May 12, 2021 by SNI2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm fine with Corey singing Coldplay, unless he gets "Paradise" or something sh*t why am I giving TPTB ideas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescasaki Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 lets hope Corey get an emotional balled next week i think he could be in the final even if we have to save him next week we have to vote as hard as we can next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm staying away from their later stuff - as much as Viva La Vida slaps me right in the childhood, it would be a mess at best for Corey given the tempo and the fact there's more grit there. I didn't suggest The Scientist because my standards are hella high with that for the show, but it'd be an acceptable back-up Coldplay-themed option.

SNI2 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Alright, I'll stop suggesting songs for Corey because I'm already thinking about The only exception by Paramore and I don't wanna get into my emo phase again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it works well with a mixed head-chest voice singer like Corey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
