NEW POLL - AUDIENCE CHOICE PART 2

[dededom]

Edit - I've added in the youtube links for those unfamiliar with the songs.

Edit 2 - for more info on the song's history, I've added in the wikipedia references.

CHOICE 1 - "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS was one of Damien's 4 suggestions for Audience Choice night on Australian Idol 2006 - see www.youtube.com/watch?v=8heN-KbEcGo; for more info on the song see - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Tear_Us_Apart

CHOICE 2- "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt was one of Damien's 4 suggestions for Audience Choice night on Australian Idol 2006 - see www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFKcSFN8tPU - for more info on the song see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_Beautiful

CHOICE 3 - "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees was a suggested alternative to Damien's choice of Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" for Disco Theme Night on Australian Idol 2006 (because of the falsetto although really it is castrato which is not quite Damien's thang) - see www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQifYc62LSM - for more info on the song see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stayin%27_Alive

CHOICE 4 - "Don't Feel Like Dancin" by Scissor Sisters was a suggested alternative to Damien's choice of Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" for Disco Theme Night on Australian Idol 2006 (because they were No. 1 at about this time on the ARIA charts and ... well, because ... couldabeen ironic like) - see www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfT7NjFJAu8 - for more on the song see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don%27t_Feel_Like_Dancing

CHOICE 5 - Damien in interviews has said he would have like to sing something by Muse (a UK Band) but it "didn't work out". "Feeling Good" is just a suggestion, a reworking from a song by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse's from Muse's 2nd album, the Origin of Symmetry - see www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-lkVBPOdW4 - for more info on the song see - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_band and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeling_Good

I just had to choose "Stayin Alive" . I've always wanted to hear Damo sing that, although "I Dont Feel Like Dancing" wouldnt be a bad one either ;D

[houndsoflove]

Ooh I don't like any of those songs (except the Muse which I've never heard so can't comment on that one)

[sunshine]

I'd love to see Damien doing a Bee Gees song. He wouldn't have to do 'Staying Alive'. One of their slower songs, like 'More Than A Woman', would suit him perfectly.

[dededom]

I totally disagree with you Sunshine. He should NEVER do Bee Gees - totally wrong for what he likes to do. For example, i can't even begin to think how you would do an acoustic guitar version. IMHO

Edit: also ithe lead in this song is more like castrato not falsetto: see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrato or perhaps sopranista: see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopranista

[auntybesure]

couldn't help but choose stayin' alive. More for the image of him dancing along to it as well...what a giggle.

[dededom]

I wonder how he had planned to do INXS's Never Tear us Apart?

[hyperrune]

Too hard to choose!!! I don't know some of those songs, but of the ones I know...I hate James Blunt, at first I thought 'no way' but if Damien did it I might actually like that song
Stayin' Alive and Scissor Sisters can't be split, dede must truly be psychic (second time that's happened! ) I've thought it would be fun to hear both of those one by D. Scissor Sisters is inching in front though...

[dededom]

I've edited back in the youtube links for those not familiar with the songs.

[Womby]

Have to go with INXS - would love to hear him sing this one!

[KrisLovesDamien]

omg i know that muse song!!!!. Damien would do fantastic at it!. Dan Spillane sang it last year, i loved his perfromance!.

[Bahamagirl]

Had to go with the Muse song, it had definite possibilities. Didn't like the thought of him singing any of the other four. "You're Beautiful" is so lame.

Hmmm - here is the Dan Spillane version - more of a swing version than Muse!

Actually I'm gonna vote none of those. I'm happy with the choices he did make for idol.

I'm with you Jimbo
