Week 7 song list**Spoilers**

[OriginalSinner]

A stripped down show

Zayra – Lluvia De Mar (an original song written by her)
Magni – Starman (Bowie)
Patrice – Message in a Bottle (Police)
Lukas – Hero (Chad Kroeger)
Storm – I Will Survive (Cake/Gloria Gaynor)
Toby – Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel) – with Gilby
Ryan – In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins)
Dilana – Cat’s in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)

[Broadway]

What's with Storm getting all of these 70s and 80s revamps? Dilana's pick is just going to sound like a "Ring of Fire" redux. And how was Zayra allowed to pick one of her own songs this week? Is the fact that we're not going to be able to compare her song to the original going to help her or hurt her?

Not a big fan of these choices.

I mean everyone is entitled to an opinion but i dont think you shoudl assume that of her........ or anyone until youve heard them. also i think it will help zayra by her actually hsowing the guys of SN that she can sing in tune.

Oh ! Toby played the bongos and Zayra played her guitar.

What good is it if she's only capable of singing in tune on something she wrote herself? I'm pretty sure they don't want to be Zayra's studio musicians.

well i guess it would show them that she actually can sing. and maybe they would appreciate her musically more. i think her accent plays a big deal in her not singing other people's songs good.

It's not her accent, it's that she's frequently flat and/or off key. I've heard non-English speaking people sing English songs phonetically and remain on key. That's because they can actually sing.

I don't understand how you think this will help her? She's auditioning to front a band that will undoubtedly do many covers, right along with their own original songs. The only thing that singing her own songs will do is not allow the band to be able to compare her voice to the original. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly isn't going to help her inability to sing a song in tune and not go flat.

Toby, Magni, and Dilana all have strong accents and they can carry a tune.

I actually like this song list, can't wait to see how this week's show plays out.

What is up with Zayra performing her own song, and everyone else doing covers? Is that the producer's way of ensuring she stays out of the bottom 3by making us think she's captured a signifcant percentage of the audience vote by singing her own song? This is a producer's idea, not the band's. Or alternatively, this is a way to ensure she goes home. Hmmm.... maybe a potential fast-switch when everyone thinks Patrice is going home for being too Pop again? Message in a Bottle really not the way for her to go right now.

My idea on the posts above is that it is not her accent that hinders her but two things:

She does not understand the concept of phrasing. There are ways to interpret song lyrics that are different from the original, by stressing different words, or dropping off and building in different spots, and then there are ways that are completely wrong.

Also, she can't sing in tune, and sounds flat most of the time.

I wandered into this particular thread wanting to see the song rundown for the week, and I'm really pleased. But I don't want to be party to a whole round of Zayra-bashing, but just putting in my two cents.

She knows she's not going to be fronting this band. BUT, doing well/getting a lot of publicity can help her land a record deal here and launch a U.S. solo career. I think that's why she's not really bothering with "crushing it"--it's not her forte and won't help her get in the band anyhow.

What is up with Zayra performing her own song, and everyone else doing covers?

Just like on last season, the band/producers are waiting to see who was willing to fight for the right to sing their original, and Zayra won in this instance. They all had the same chance, just like they all had the same chance on who would get to sing the song that Gilby is going to back up this time. They do it for drama.
