I hope Aroha does well with 'Circle of Life'. It's a chance to show off her voice, if anything.

interesting song choices!

Admin, you did exactly what I did Laughing out loud
Camille didnt have the voice for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I think this is the performance for Becks to show is she is capable of being the New Zealand Idol.  If she brings it, and performs well, she is set Laughing out loud

I dont see how Aroha will match Jeniffer Hudson

I also think the group song will be Im still standing, as Becks said she couldnt choose this song for the week as it was unavailable as someone else had chosen it.

Here's Fantasia singing Something about the Way You Look Tonight.

admin 13 September, 2006 - 3:18pm

Here's Jennifer Hudson singing Circle of Life.

Davey Havok with a k is a beautiful, beautiful man

I didn't like that. Not necessarily her voice. I just didn't like it.

P.S. This song reminds me of Idolblog Idol now. XD

That was terrible. :|
I'm pretty sure Becks can do a lot better than that!

Becks will do much much much better than that, and when she pulls it off, people will get why shes a big deal Laughing out loud

I think Becks has chosen a risky song, but the point is, she has made very safe choices so far, so I think it is great that she has chosen this song.  I think her voice will suit it and she will pull it off!

Good to see she is taking a risk - I think the safest choice is Indiras, what a lame-oh! Snooze fest

Lawz 13 September, 2006 - 3:37pm

On further thought, even though I love the song lol gosh its so safe.. anyone can sing can you feel the love tonight.. gahhhhh

Alaina Roar 13 September, 2006 - 12:47pm

There's two songs from The Lion King in there. That'll do for my Lion King theme I suggested. XD

ROAR!! :roar:

Lawz 13 September, 2006 - 1:06pm

aren't they both like some of the most popular songs for auditions? mannn we soo need a musical theme!

Alaina Roar 13 September, 2006 - 1:54pm

Oh I'm not sure but I love the songs and they're lion related so that makes me happy. Sticking out tongue lol

Lawz 13 September, 2006 - 12:43pm

Mate Indira singing "Can you feel the love tonight" I mean I love the song, thats because I can sing it lol.  Its a pretty easy song to get a grip on!  Yeh I think Beck's can handle the song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.  She's just gonna have to perform her butt off Smiling.  But I know she can!

Tittiman 13 September, 2006 - 11:52am

I'm reeeeeeeeeeeally worried for Becks this week - it's a VERY risky song choice!!

12apanui12 13 September, 2006 - 11:40am

Interesting song choices... i thought someone would do "rocketman" or "sacrifice" I think Becks may struggle in the higher register of "yellow brick road"... Toni EXCELLENT song choice (once again), "your song" is one of my favourites from Elton...

admin 13 September, 2006 - 11:49am

Clinton was going to do Rocketman if he had stayed on.

12apanui12 13 September, 2006 - 12:13pm

hmmm thats too bad... he may have done that well

YOU ARE A syphillis SO PISS OFF

Toni - Your Song

*raises eyebrows*

*texts steve*

I'm really looking forward to this performance as Steve did a great job of it last year. I hope she puts a really cool spin on it.

12345 13 September, 2006 - 11:15am

Awesome song TONI love YOUR SONG

admin 13 September, 2006 - 10:54am

I'm really worried about Yellow Brick Road - I didn't think anyone should pick that song.

Alaina Roar 13 September, 2006 - 11:39am
Davey Havok with a k is a beautiful, beautiful man

I was talking to her on Friday and she said she'd thought about it but wasn't too happy or something. I can't quite remember. She hadn't decided on a song then. I hope she does really well then cos she seemed a bit worried.

miss_chaos 13 September, 2006 - 11:28am
YOU ARE A syphillis SO PISS OFF

I think Becks is the only one who could pull it off.

daphne 13 September, 2006 - 11:22am

Why are people worried about Yellow Brick Road? 

miss_chaos 13 September, 2006 - 11:33am
YOU ARE A syphillis SO PISS OFF

It's kind of a classic, untouchable song. Everyone's going to compare your version to Elton's, and it'll never come close. For that reason, its a dangerous song to pick.

However, when Jesse and Steve did classic U2 anthems for 80s week last year I thought the same thing and those perofrmances were two of their best from the whole season, so sometimes the risk pays off. If you stuff it up, you're almost inevitably gone.

It's kind of a classic, untouchable song.

It's not so much that, but more the range of the song. The whole appeal is the switch in the male voice during the chorus - it's not something that a woman's voice can do. The other problem is that the chorus is a myriad of backing vocals...not sure that Suzy and Sandy are up to it.

If Kali ruins this one... what am I saying? When Kali ruins this one, I'm going to cry.

admin 13 September, 2006 - 10:44am

I love "Your song" - and if Toni's last it's probably going to be awesome Laughing out loud

is that the confirmed order?

song list confirmed

Aus idol yup 11 September, 2006 - 12:36am

I dont think this is gonna be a good theme. Mainly because ive only ever heard of yellow brick road and circle of life. But i kinda hope indira doesnt do it- i dont know if shes vocally as strong as Jennifer Hudson from AI

What?! How can you not know Circle of Life? Dude, it's only from like, the best movie ever!

They said it's one of the two they have heard. Sticking out tongue

And I don't know how you can judge it's not a good theme if you only know two songs. :|

Aus idol yup 14 September, 2006 - 1:14am

I mean: in my opinion it wont be a good night cause i wont be able to compare the contestant with the original song -and i cant sing along to it (remembering the Queen themed night on American Idol- argh)

But i guess your right. There are so many songs over the years on different idol shows that i never heard before but loved it after a few listens- eg. Australian band George- sung by Casey and Hayley in season 2 Australian Idol. I have never heard of George but the two songs i do know are great!

Nice to see you casting doubts on how reliable I am... lol.

Matt and Ben are definite.

The others were recomendations or songs that the Idols had considered Smiling

admin 11 September, 2006 - 12:07pm

You're reliable Smiling just heard that some of the Idols are changing their minds (e.g. Becks).
