Misirlou Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I love the band, and that´s precisely why I ask contestants: Don´t. Sing. U2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Matt McAndrew did decently, but it didn´t do anything for me. It really just felt karaoke. And U2 has taken down Hunter Plake, James Wolpert, Reid Umsttadd (apart from the format), among others... Bono can´t even sing U2 songs anymore.

The problem with them is that they’re not easy to pull off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Another one that popped off: I´m a big Beatles fan, but you gotta let go of Let it Be. It´s a great song, and while there have been great versions (Kyla, Ricky, I enjoyed Chris K´s too), it just seems like a cheap choice of a song to get to the finale. It´s a classic, everyone´s heard of it, Minivan loves it, so unless you really screw it up, you´re bound to have success. If someone else happens to sing it and nail it, good for them, but I can´t help but sigh everytime I see at as a choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth96 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Someone mentioned that before, but I'm gonna repeat: I'm so tired of watching our R&B diva/black woman being given Rihanna's "Diamonds". TPTB needs to update their songbook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Chris Blue's KO is one of my favourite performances on the show and Paris's audition was a fun, solid performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsamid Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Can't believe no one has mentioned Hallelujah Excellent song, but possibly the most overdone song not just on the show, but in cover history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie73 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, FloorWax said: Because we want our favs to have it as an option for easy votes I also don’t remember any Hallelujah performances that weren’t received very positively on the show. That’s why I didn’t mention it. I agree with Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi. I agree that it is basic, and most covers haven’t been that impressive anyway. Rihanna’s Diamonds and Miley’s The Climb are songs I would get rid of since I don’t care for most performances of those songs much. If it’s an overdone song and I really like most covers (ex: Love on the Brain, Man’s World), I don’t care that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daillon Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I wanna add some songs that aren’t necessarily overdone on the show but I dislike/don’t want them covered again for other reasons (I want to hear other people’s choices) - Beer Never Broke My Heart - Put Your Records On - What the World Needs Now… - Preach - I’ll Stand By You - Bruises - Break Every Chain - Drops of Jupiter - Before You Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nytsch Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 While I don't necessarily agree with the idea of "putting a song to rest" either, I really can't hear these in any other way: Ain't No Way Blue Bayou POV If even Wendy Moten couldn't do the first two as well imo, then I don't know who could. Also, God's Country Hasn't been done that many times and I'm not even that attached to Rose's version (at least, not on the level of those other 3), but I just don't like/want to hear it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedinMemphis Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 2 hours ago, FloorWax said: Because we want our favs to have it as an option for easy votes It's true but Hallelujah probably wouldn't work if minivan actually listened. lol. I mean I don't think I don't think the hallelujah in this verse is the kind of biblical ecstasy they're thinking of. But we're probably not much at risk of losing it . . . She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah https://genius.com/Leonard-cohen-hallelujah-lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Ok, so regarding songs I actually don´t like and haven´t necesarily been overdone: - Dance Monkey (Tones and I) (No explanation needed) - Before you Go (Lewis Capaldi) (only 3 times, but that´s enough for me) - You Found Me (The Fray) (bodie made it more enjoyable, but still) - Sugar (Maroon 5) (See Dance Monkey) - Versace on the Floor (Bruno Mars) (Probably around 4 times or so, so not much, but still, bleh) - Stop Draggin My Heart Around (Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty) (Love them both, but this song doesn´t go anywhere) - Good 4 U (Olivia Rodrigo) (Not a fan) - Forever Young (Bob Dylan) (Love Dylan´s lyrics, but this ones I find corny as hell, without any substance, and it lessens some enjoyment from contestant´s performances) - Treat You Better (Shawn Mendes) (Honestly, anything Shawn Mendes) - Calling All Angels (Train) (Not a fan of Train at all) - One and Only (Adele) (One of the few Adele songs I dislike) - She Got the Best of Me (Luke Combs) (I do like some Luke Combs, but this one´s not one of them...big time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Adele, that's me @ All I Ask I'm sorry but I definitely rolled my eyes at Parijita's choice. Not You Found Me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
