I have just got word about what Samantha will be singing.

This week they're doing Musical Theatre songs (thank god!)

and from what I've just heard, they're pushing Samantha with possibly one of the best songs ever, which will be a challenge, but fan-blooming-tastic if she pulls it off.

"I Can Do Better Than That"

Oh i'm glad they are giving them musical theatre songs, but i'll be dreading Sam's performance... she'll murder it no way does she have the range for it.

Great at last some Musical Theatre songs!  Thanks for the info - I was getting very tired of all the poppy type songs.  Now, lets see what these girls can do.  Shame Sarah won't be in it - I bet she would have given us goosebumps with her lovely voice.

ooooooooo i am excited now! finally songs that actually relate to what they are all there for! Wish sarah was still there but never mind! It will be very interesting to hear sam sing it (if you are correct) could go either way.

She will be awful. And be told by the judges that she was wonderful. I can't wait.

It is certainly a demanding song

and I really haven't heard anything from her so far that would indicate it will be a mature and tuneful interpretation.  A number from Hairspray might have worked better for her.

You cannot be serious.  I can't see her pulling that off.  

I can't see any of the original 12 pulling that off, frankly.  Maybe Sarah, although she would *really* have to pull out the growl she used in Midnight Train to Georgia.

Now this should be interesting haha!

A friend of mine thinks Niamh should sing "On My Own" and i agree, i could kind of imagine her singing it.
