Well, feeling inspired, I picked up the guitar & rattled off a quick version of "The first cut is the deepest" by Cat Stevens... and all the cats up the street joined in... Then did a quick version of "New Morning" by Dylan and remembered why I sing the songs I do... So, something by a croaky voiced hippy would do me!
 
Not sure if the world is ready for someone doing bad covers of Dylan?!

I love it.

I was going to say that with a voice like mine, there is no way I would sing anything, but maybe something like Queen's "I'm going slightly mad" would be okay.

The last bloke on was brilliant, also liked the Essex girl.

Essex girl was amazing - when she spoke her voice was all over the place, but perfect control when she sang... I reckon she's had a fair bit of coaching already though... Didn't see the end due to NCIS on ch.5!

Favourite quote from a contestant so far (in Souf London Yoof speak) - "Maybe there's a problem wiv the mics"... to explain why her little group was so out of tune! Yes, the problem wiv the mic is you're holding it!

We went to see Mom in the care home yesterday afternoon and the staff were getting all the residents gee'd up ready to watch it ;D.I like it but I think Tone just suffers it. I would sing either "Hotel California" or "Baker St". I thought the man at the end was great
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
