I would also love to hear him sing Unchained Melody, as I think he would nail it and blow the audience away  I like some of the other songs listed so far too, like Your Song and I think Blue Moon, on another thread. But really, I'm pretty sure I'd love anything Damien sings  |

But really, I'm pretty sure I'd love anything Damien sings As much as I Love that song.....I think that would be too safe for him to do.....alot of people are already commenting on his/our choice of songs......so I think he needs to do something to really show the doubters that he can do ANYTHING.....and we know he can |

What I would like to hear him sing.
1. Jealous Guy - Roxy Music (their version is my fave)
2. Sad Lisa - Cat Stevens
3. One More Try - George Micheal
4. Vincent - Don Mclean
5. Angie - Rolling Stones
6. Nothing Compare 2 U - Prince
7. For Crying Out Loud - Meatloaf/Steinman
8. Sleepwalking - Ben Lee
9. Smoke Gets In My Eyes - The Platters (I think this one in particular would be perfect for his voice)
10. When Fortune Turns Her Wheel - The Drovers (from the movie Blink)

hmmmm...:::ponders::: I love the crooning songs Damien is famous for, but I would really love to hear him sing something outside of that genre and absolutely NAIL it. I agree with hyperrune that i would've loved to hear Dame sing Bee Gees Stayin' Alive for disco week. I also thought a good song would be the new Scissor Sisters "Don't Feel Like Dancing". It would be interesting if he could pull off:
Eskimo Joe,
The Smiths "This charming Man",
Snow Patrol "Run",
a bit of Moby?
Travis "Sing"
The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony"

unchained melody would be really awesome.. dan england did it last year and he was brilliant.. and damien will be as brilliant or moreso In my dream-world (yes, that crazy world in which I live) he not only does Unchained Melody, but does it completely acapella... this is an American Idol contestant from a few years ago...different song and very different voice, but shows how powerful the voice can be alone, with a great song and great performance: Bo Bice - In A Dreamor anything by Damien Rice |

New idea -
Not for the show, since he's done one of both their songs, I'd love to hear Damien do "Only the Lonely".
Orbison did the original, and Chris Isaak does it on his 'Best of' CD, so I'd love to hear how Damien's interpretation would differ. Now when I hear Crying and Wicked Game, the vocals seem lacklustre and the arrangements to overcomplicated and countrified. The Big O's 'Only the Lonely' sounds overdone compared to Isaak's, so I'd like to hear Damien strip it down to just a guitar and go off on the vocals. It would be so beautiful!
I wonder what Isaaks thinks of Damien's versions of Wicked Game and Crying? He was friends with Roy himself and he was at the Melbourne Cup, so he must have heard about it and the attention Damien is getting from Roy's family. He's kinda supposed to be Roy's protege himself, so I wonder if he approves of it all?

Some really great suggestions in here - and I particularly like those above. I was actually thinking of Only You by the Platters (forgive me if its already been mentioned) and Air That I Breathe by the Everly Brothers. I couldnt work out why it sounded like I'd already heard him sing Air That I BReathe until I read Wikipedia saying the song Creep is heavily based on it!! LOL |
