ssukie Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I sent suggestions for California Dreaming via the app a while ago. It has great harmonies and a flute solo so Bekah can show her skills on the flute! They already picked their next song. In an interview I saw a while ago, can't remember the contestant, they said they basically start working on next weeks song right after the live results show ends. Bekah also had a short segment in her IG story. She seemed so excited and said she can't wait for next week. Don't know what they picked but I can't wait either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Little Green is about? Woah. Edited November 17, 2021 by FloorWax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other songs are about her relationships with Graham Nash (River, A Case of You and My Old Man) and James Taylor (This Flight Tonight). Carey is about a "bright red devil"/"red, red rogue" she met in Greece after splitting with Nash. Carey is one of my favs but Nash hated that one, reportedly lol Edited December 8, 2021 by WastedinMemphis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a short time, I mistook them for using backup singers for the seven people singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could reach the 500k mark in an hour or two. Really? That’s amazing! I hope they reach it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems she has been excited about everything song choices thus far, but maybe we’ll finally get to hear some Joni next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice cover This cover is gorgeous! It was actually one of the first I listened to from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainOggy6320 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I just went through my old playlist and found this song. It's a beautiful folk song with lots of harmony potential that I think GNT can benefit from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just say he has amazing taste but practically all of these are too "indie" for the voting audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) While I'd still pick The Chain or the Bangles' Hazy Shade of Winter based on personal preference, and they might be good strategic choices, after thinking about it I don't think they're likely -- too much rock, not who they are. I listened to their album and thought about their choices so far and I guess I don't see it. Now watch them flip another more contemporary song lol This is me officially not sweating it any more. It'll be a fun ride to the finale. Edited December 8, 2021 by WastedinMemphis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
