I honestly could not be happier. I mean, classic love songs? Even if the contestents had to choose from Bocelli's records alone (I think they don't have to. It's like Kenny Rogers and Country Week) Katharine has the best chance to outshine the others, solely based on this week's performance, but I am looking forward to seeing if anyone else impresses me...but only if it keeps Kat safe

What are your choices for Bocelli/love songs?

I put "The Prayer" down for personal reasons, although, the Italian and the fact that it is written to be a duet may discourage.

Or "Time To Say Goodbye"... but again, Italian and duet. Oh well. One can hope, right?

Katarino McPeeleeni can sing anything...not sure I'd recommend her trying The Prayer...a personal favorite of mine...it might lose a lot if not performed in duet....I don't think contestants are limited to Bocelli songs...he's just coaching the contestants...

I'm going to repeat my country week suggestion because it IS one of the greatest love songs and I'm dying to hear Kat sing it.
"I Will Always Love You", written by Dolly Parton and made famous by the great Whitney Houston. I think Kat could hit this one so far out of the park it'll orbit the moon!

I Will Always Love You is a very popular song.  Vonzell sung it last year, didn't she?

"I will always love you" is too big a risk I think. Most people know it as a Whitney Houston song and I think they would judge her against that version. No matter how good she did, she could land in the bottom three. All of the "lesser" singers are gone and now it's solely week to week on who will go out next.

I think she should stick to songs in the lower range that would give her a chance to perform and not have to focus on hitting the really big notes. I think she should choose something that gives her the chance to sing "to somebody", like on '50's week and this past week. Those eyes and that smile could melt anyone or anything.

I am thinking maybe "Love Story," nah, that's not going to happen. How about "Close to You."

I think you've got a good thought there. I could actually see Kat doing ANY Karen Carpenter song really, really well.

"Close To You" is such a great song, that every time I hear it, It brings chills, although it's 35 years old. I always love the trumpet part, followed by the strings.

My other thought for next season is that they should do a night of Carpenters songs.

I love "Close to You", but I'm afraid it would be considered too "safe" and boring.
How about "Autumn Leaves" by the immortal Nat King Cole, coverered by greats Diana Krall, Eva Cassidy and Andrea Bocelli himself.  Perfect for Kat, no?

Just a thought but overall, to me, it just seems odd for a show with a primarily younger fan base why the show is staying on themes like 50's night, America's Songbook, and now Great Love Songs with an Opera guy. I personally enjoy hearing a lot of these songs but it seems like they might be a little boring to a lot of the under 30 crowd who likely don't know much about Queen or Stevie Wonder much less care a lot for these really older standards. You would think they would get back to a little more contemporary music. It will be interesting to see this week what the performers choose from for the "Greatest Love Songs" category.
