Just got a call from Be. Turns out, they've been asked to shoot the season finale in LA next week. They want them to do either Set Adrift or I'd Die Without You and to do a cover of a recent hit song ( I suggested they do Die Without You for obvious reasons).
So, Be is asking our immediate help on choosing a recent hit for them to perform. So, whadaya say fam? :)
I'd Die Without You is priceless
A recent hit (Last year or so) from some other artist. ;)
That is so weird! I was watching that show tonight and I was thinking, "I wonder if PM Dawn would agree to be on that show?"
I'm so glad that they will be on.
I'm grinding the gears in my head, trying to think of a good recent hit for them to do. It's a real challenge to find the perfect song for them, so I'll have to post later when I find something that's both well-known and good.
awesome, I have to watch now....
I am very excited.
Do Be and JC like Seal?
I think I'd like to see them do a PM Dawn'd out rendition of Seal's Waiting for You.
Also, since the song gets so doggone repetitive after the first verse, it lends itself well to the way the cover songs are condensed for the show.
but that have to do something mainstream...Quote:

I'd Die Without You
top song from a year. hmm you would have to play to the croud on this one. They are the ones to vote and they are for the most part young. ill watch the past shows again to get a feel of what they follow along with .
I looked up and down the charts, and I have to say the Coldplay suggestion is not a bad one. Something like "Clocks" might work. I don't know how back they can go -- but how about "100 Years" by Five for Fighting (a year or two old) -- that would show off Be's falsetto range. But then again, if they're starting with the ballad "I'd Die ...", maybe they should funk it up -- no, DEFINITELY they should funk it up for their second, to show the range. Maybe some Black Eyed Peas or something. Either way ... I'm PSYCHED!!
I wouldn't mind seeing Be perform Seal's "Heavenly".
I agree with Coz - I'd Die Without You for sure....
Then I've really been thinking about the cover tune...
...in order of suggestion...
Maroon 5 - This Love
Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Wanna Be
Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (I Walk Alone)
what about that milkshake song..:) jk....
I agree with Gavin Degraw one...IMO would fit perfectly
Greg Kihn covered Boulevard of Broken Dreams in this week's episode...Quote:

alicia keys - fallin'
i dunno, i'm thinking. i haven't even listened to the radio for years.
or Brick (ben folds five)! everybody knows brick
or is that not recent enough?
i only hope that they let me do a ben folds song....but what about that superman song that came out a lil while ago...or sideways by citizen cope
How well did "Ordinary People" by John Legend do on the Pop charts?
My opinion is Be has to pick a song that did well both Pop and R&B, 'cause it's gonna take black votes for him to win. Otherwise I think the Coldplay suggestions are an excellent choice.
Here's another that has crossed my mind, though it turns my stomach to suggest it. "Lonely No More" by Rob Thomas.
I like that "Sideways" song, how well did it do?
ordinary people, that is my choice
this is really hard question to answer. you know, you want what is artistically best for a group, but you don't want the group to suffer for not having "pop" appeal. something that Be could sing, that also is popular right now(or has been popular in the last couple years)...?
John Legend's "Used To Love U"
Bobby Valentino's "Slow Down"
U2's "Stuck In A Moment" or "Walk On"
Alicia Keys "Fallin" was performed by Thelma Houston on last nights show, so thats prolly a no go.
I like the Coldplay suggestion. Ben Folds might be a difficult one but I like it. Out of the ones I listed I think i'd pic the John Legend song. John Legend's voice and Be's voice are a tonal match to me.
raining in baltimore by counting crows? i don't know how a counting crows song would work with pm dawn, though. but i'd be really happy if it turned out to be a ben folds song. Ooh, The Luckiest! I've never heard a cover of the luckiest. that's one of my favorite songs ever.
i like the ordinary people song, by john legend
id like to see pm dawn do a cover of a huge song and show them what they can do.. yes i think they could flip an awesome version of sumthin like holllaback girl.. u gotta make an impact and the best way 2 do it is take a hugely popular song that every1 knows and show em how much better u can make it
i agree with coz they gotta do "id die without you" that would have a serious impact..more than set adrift because of the emotional impact
i don't know, the slower songs aren't voted for on that show. depends on if you want to win or not.
Hmmm...I've never seen the show so I'm completely in the dark. Good observation Kristen. :)
also that audience is almost COMPLETELY WHITE, its an LA studio audience...you know how those go.
however, Thelma Houston won last night and she tore the house down, its not like they're prejudice or anything. arrested development also won in the first week. and vanilla ice, well, i don't know how he won, but he did cover "Survivor" by Destiny's Child!!!
i'm very excited about their opportunity for exposure. and thanks Coz.

OK, see that's what I get for having never watched the show. I was ASSuming it was like American Idol with a call in vote. My vote is officially for "Clocks" then! Glad you're on point Kristen! :)Quote:

I know you guys might not like him that much, but Switch by Will Smith would probably be good (for the venue). As would Pon De Replay by Rihanna
I also like Let Me Go by 3 Doors Down, it's one of those songs you vibe too. Neither fast, nor slow.
And, just cause it sounds good: Lonely No More by Rob Thomas
OK, turns out that good old industry bullshit strikes again! They want them to do "Set Adrift", and they gave them a choice of 5 songs to choose from to cover. Be chose "Blurry" by Puddle Of Mud. I fukkin LOVE that song! :)
Never mind... :D
More GREAT news to come! ;)
you guys are NOT refering to the 3 doors down superman song, right?Quote:
