Title: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: Tiffany Gray on April 22, 2012, 12:22PM
What songs would you like to hear Susan cover?


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: mattycakes on April 24, 2012, 09:16AM
I'd love to hear her sing One Moment In Time again! But this time as a member of Celtic Woman and preferably the full song! I LOVE that song and I loved hearing her sing it on Grease Is The Word.

Sometimes a Prayer Would Do by Secret Garden.  With that powerful voice of hers, she'd do a fantastic job.  I think she'd reduce the audience to tears actually! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-aazx5k1sw

I'll add more when I think of them. :)

That song would be so perfect for her!  And I agree!  I know she would make me a blubbering mess if she sang that!  She almost made me cry with Follow On!

  How about "Wind Beneath My  Wings".  I "bet" she would do it better than "Bette".   :) Sorry Ms. Middler... :-\

come to my garden from the secret garden (musical, not the group) or maybe Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle)

 I was thinking Susan would be good with "Nobody Does It Better" originally sung by Carly Simon so long ago.  ;) :-\

I agree. That YouTube video of her singing that is outstanding. She can really nail that song.

How about "Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha? I have always thought that would be a great song for Lisa K but I think Susan would ace it too. Another song I have always wanted Lisa K to sing, and one that I think would be better for her, but Susan would be great too, would be Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life". Both of those songs would be good CW type songs too and go over well with everyone in the crowd.

I say that we let David Downes decide what she'd be best at. A lot of these Celtic Woman songs I've never heard of before they sang it (indeed, some have never been performed by anyone before them) so I'm sure that he would know what's best for her and the rest of them.

I was not asking people to choose what songs she should sing with Celtic Woman instead of Davi Downes.  I just wanted to know what songs people thought she would sound good at.  It's just a thread for fun...

Recently I went to the Theatre again. Not for Celtic Woman this time! Lol! Instead, I took my Grams to see Mamma Mia for her 76th birthday. Never thought I'd enjoy it but it was funny!

Anyway... I'd LOVE to hear Susan sing I Have A Dream from Mamma Mia!

Also! I'd FLIP OUT if they did this but it'd be awesome so I'm just gonna mention it! I think it'd be awesome if Susan and Lisa Squared, our 3 theatre vets, came together and sang Dancing Queen.

Perhaps a couple of Eva Cassidy songs?  I think they have similar singing styles and it would be interesting.


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: Tiffany Gray on February 06, 2013, 12:30PM
I agree that Susan could sing Eva Cassidy.  She can sing anything.
Although, I don't think Susan and Eva have similar styles.  Eva is more folkish, and Susan is more Broadway-ish.  BUT I do agree that shtifully.e could sing Eva's music beau


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: mattycakes on April 27, 2013, 10:44AM
I know it was originally sung by Alex, then later converted into a duet, but I think she'd sound amazing singing My Heart Was Home Again! She and Alex seem to have more similar styles than she and Lisa Kelly. And Alex was amazing on that song. We still don't have a studio version of that song. So maybe?

Not just sound alike But their performing styles as well. Alex was one to gaze further into the crowd and truly perform a song with her theatrical trainging heavily evident, much like Susan does now. Lisa was obviously a theatre vet but, like Lisa Lambe, she was able to make that connection with the audience a little bit better.

I'd love to hear Susan sing a duet with Alex, like maybe "I Still Believe" from Miss Saigon.

I'm hoping beyond all hope that David will let Susan sing Memory from Cats onstage! Since I couldn't watch her sing it in the musical itself, I would DIE if she sang it with Celtic Woman!


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: ShiningBright on September 10, 2013, 07:39AM
Same here! And I'd fit CW so much. Maybe in their Broadway Tribute. Instead of I Dreamt A Dream. That was Lisa's song with Chloe. Susan singing the stage version (not the cover version) of second Act Memory, with Mairead C singing Jemima'S/Sillabub's parts would be so awesome! And then Lisa doing her Circle Of Life. Or Lisa will sing Jemima's parts and Mairead will get her own Broadway song. :)


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: Tiffany Gray on September 28, 2013, 11:44AM
OMG could you imagine how the CELTIC WOMAN version of "Memory" would sound?  WOW!


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: ShiningBright on September 28, 2013, 12:04PM
Just what I said! And please, not the concert version! The musical version! Second act! With Lil' Lambe singing Daylinght and Sunlight. And maybe even Moonlight to make it complete.

I will reiterate that I'd love to hear her sing Memory in the new show. But! I just watched Bones last night and it was the wedding episode and Cyndi Lauper sang At Last during the procession (she plays a psychic on the show).

Since Susan is getting married this summer, I would love love LOVE to hear her sing a soulful rendition of At Last like Cyndi Lauper did!

Here's a YouTube video with Cyndi singing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMZLT8yl0sg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMZLT8yl0sg)   Just stop the vid around 2:30 as that's where the song ends.

Yeah, we don't see enough of the classical side of Susan's voice! Which brings to mind, wouldn't it be amazing if she did a duet of The Last Rose of Summer with Mairead?


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover
Post by: ShiningBright on January 13, 2015, 01:00PM

Anything from that show would fit her perfectly, honestly. She said in an interview that she'd rather play Elphaba despite the fact that she totally looks like a Glinda lol


Title: Re: Songs for Susan to Cover

I agree about her getting her own solo, but I really loved her version of The Call, and I hope she records it. No, I don't count it as truly hers, but I was blown away when I heard it.

I can't remember if I already mentioned this, but I would love to hear her sing "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserable.

This might be a bit of weird choice, but I think she's do awesome job singing it:

Close Every Door (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat)

It's a song where she could show off her range, power, and emotion.

... although personally, I think Chloë would own this song if she were so inclined to sing it.
