Carly– Might realistically do: The Police, “Every Breath You Take”
Would be awesome if she did: U2, “New Year’s Day”/Pat Benatar, “Love is a Battlefield”
Should Under No Circumstances attempt: Midnight Star, “Freak-a-Zoid”
Song I want to mention: Yes, “Owner of a Lonely Heart”
So when was David A born? 2003? Oh, 1990. OK, how about “Get Here” by Oleta Adams? That’ll make ‘em swoon.
Lil’ David:
Could do well with: Wilson Phillips, “You’re in Love”
My money is on: Bette Midler, “From a Distance”
I would pay money to hear this: MC Hammer, “U Can’t Touch This”
Chikezie:
Easy Choice: Bowie/Jagger, “Dancing in the Street”
Could work: Aretha Franklin, “Who’s Zoomin’ Who”
Awesome song , bad idea: The Smiths, “How Soon Is Now?”
Michael Johns:
Make the ladies swoon song: Eric Clapton, “Wonderful Tonight”
Who doesn’t love this song?: Kenny Rodgers, “The Gambler”
Going for a different fan base song: The Village People, “YMCA”
I think Chikezie will definitely do Careless Whisper, but I think he might do The Gossip’s funktastic version **fingers crossed**. I also have a sinking feeling Brooke will do “I Just Called to Say I Love You” but I’m holding out for “I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues.” Cook will be fine with whatever he picks. And Jason Castro: I would love to see the spectacle that would be him doing “Red, Red Wine” but I would love to hear an acoustic, melodic “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”

Careless Whisper is a great idea for Chikeze!!!
Michael Johns – SHOULD do Meatloaf, Two out of Three. Could definitely do Patti Smith, Because the Night.
Jason Castro – SHOULD do Cheap Trick, The Flame. Could do Aerosmith, Angel or Foreigner, I Don’t Want to Live Without You.
Brooke – SHOULD do Cyndi Lauper, All Through the Night
Kristy – SHOULD do Bryan Adams, Heaven
