Basically QueenMae with Celine covers

Lol, I´m certainly much less harsh than they are with them.  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.

Yeah true. The problem with them is that they’re not easy to pull off

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.

It's a great song and a classic, but there's only so much you can do with "Superstition" without sounding karaoke.

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.

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.

 

 

Stay too.

I’d enjoy hearing Eleanor Rigby or While My Guitar Gently Weeps at some point.

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.

 

Because we want our favs to have it as an option for easy votes :giggle:

Me too. I´d love for someone in particular to perform While My Guitar Gently Weeps with the guitar solo and all.

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.

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

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

🙂 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

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)

Agree on Shawn, although sometimes I don't mind it because the songs generally sound better without his voice on them 😂

But yeah, TYB is particularly bad.

 

Re: Adele, that's me @ All I Ask :stealth:

I'm sorry but I definitely rolled my eyes at Parijita's choice.

 

Not You Found Me though 😭
