Only six singers remain.
So, Shania Twain week, eh? My first guess is Big Mike will be singing “Man, I Feel Like A Woman.” 
Its down to the wire now.
Too bad John Park isn’t in the running!
Have we given up on the season? I didn’t see a thread for this week. What’s the theme?
I think the theme is “Shania Twain”. This will give the contestants the ability to suck in new and yet not so interesting ways.
Holy crap. I don’t think I know a single song of hers. No wonder there was no interest this week.
Unless you spent the late 90’s buried under a heap of compost, that’s simply not possible.
Preferable, maybe…but not possible.
I’ll be watching and twittering the snark with my buddies. I couldn’t, however, give even one small shit (much less a large one) about Shania Twain. I’m up for a trainwreck, though!
Shania Twain has enough hits for the contestants to choose from?
Please tell me her music isn’t gurgly country.
Tonight I’ll be thanking Og for the magic of the DVR.
I was never listening to country or pop radio, so while I’m aware of her existence of course, I can’t honestly recall ever hearing her sing.
I don’t know any Shania Twain songs off the top of my head, and I listen to a fair amount of country. Loved country night when they had Dolly Parton a couple years back (yeah, that was my fave, David Cook’s year). Dolly has written such a wide range of songs, it actually made for an interesting night.
can we merge this wih the thread already started?
I am guessing Sioban will not do too great this week.
Sure thing. Has anyone asked a mod yet?
ETA: I sent a report asking for the merge.
(Anticipating the merge of two threads) - people seem to have forgotten all about Shania Twain. Yes, she has plenty of songs for the contestants to chose from, and yes, everybody who participates in these threads probably knows most if not all of them. Shania was THE star in country/crossover music for a significant period of time (you could argue that she invented the country/crossover genre).
So, is someone going to sing “From This Moment On”? It’ll give Simon a nice opening to talk about how they sound like a wedding singer…
Here’s the song list they’re choosing from:
I’m thinking Big Mike will pick God Bless the Child; Aaron probably got the nod for From This Moment On. I’d sort of like to hear Siobhan do Don’t be Stupid. 
I know this is sad to hear, but Shania Twain is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. She’s sold 48 million CDs, according to the RIAA.
I don’t think it’s sad to hear; she’s talented for the genre she performs in, isn’t horrible to look at, and always seemed like a genuinely nice person (didn’t she raise her siblings?). Plus she was married to Mutt Lange for years; she certainly must have picked up something from him about being marketable. Her music may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s no worse than a similarly-limited-focus mentor, like Neil Diamond or Jon Bon Jovi. And I say that as someone who really, really dislikes country music.
