Fame would be stellar. Or Changes. Or Golden Years. Or especially Life On Mars!!!! I wonder if Adam could get away with going the Bowie route since he already did Play That Funky Music. I give up trying to guess, though. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure they will get a very short list to choose from. And someone will do Brick House.

NOOOOOO! :wallbash_tb: The ultimate disco karaoke song.

Allison should sing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Everytime we touchà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  – Cascada (Acoustic version)

That’s disco?! :blink_tb:

I hope Allison doesn’t pick ABBA just because she likes them, but because she can kill it!

I need to think some more for he rest of them.

Yes à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  I can definitely see Adam doing Stay. One of the very few disco-related songs I like, and I like that one a lot. ETA: Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s really more funk than disco, which is why I like it, but definitely close enough.

JohnM, you suggested one of my favorite songs, “Stay.” If Adam doesn’t cover Bowie for Disco Week, I don’t know when he will. I haven’t timed it, but I’m pretty sure the song has more total instrumental sections than vocal. There’s probably enough vocal to follow that signature guitar intro for the stage performance. I just wonder if the studio version on iTunes would be full length.

IIRC, Allison mentioned ABBA as a guilty pleasure. If she picks “Dancing Queen,” she should change the lyrics to “young and sweet, only sixteen.” I think “Fernando” or “The Name of the Game” would better suit her voice and range. I wanted her to sing “Lady Marmalade” this week and it would still be a killer showcase for her.

I think Kris, Danny, Matt and Lil could find good songs from the era.

“Groove Line” by Heatwave would be a great group song.

Adam:
Super Freak – Rick James
Stayin’ Alive – Bee Gees
You’re The First, The Last, My Everything – Barry White
Get Up Offa That Thing – James Brown
You Sexy Thing – Hot Chocolate

Allison:
Lady Marmalade – Labelle
Dancing Queen – Abba
Heart of Glass – Blondie

Anoop:
Copacabana

Danny: (is it obvious I’m not a fan?)
Boogie Oogie Oogie

L’il (if she’s still there):
I Will Survive

Not sure about Kris or Matt

I hope the group dance is better then how Paula dances by herself when they sing. Every time she does the same thing a clap followed by a few shakes

There was a time, back in the 80′s when Paula was a pretty kick ass choreographer. She has a ton of training and a lot of experience. I have no explanation for why she seems to have lost her own rhythm at some point. But I do know that, at one point, she had the skills. She hasn’t done the choreography thing in a VERY long time. So, it’s good that she’s going to do it during disco week, as I expect the moves to be pretty dated.

Basically, she’s got the resume to choreograph a group number, she just doesn’t have the latest dance “language” so to speak. That said – I’m waaaay interested to see what she comes up with.
