The birdies have all been picked to be in a reality show/singing competition (either for real or as part of an undercover mission). What songs or genres do you think your favorite birdies would sing? Who would win? And would Jun get bonus points for playing guitar while she sang? Maybe she'd do a Fiona Apple song, like Criminal. Somehow, I can see Joe doing AC/DC. And Ryu would do country of some kind. Ken would whistle Dare Da, being too embarrassed to sing.

I could see Jinpei doing something in the gangster rap type... just to P.O. off Jun. Maybe even wearing the baggy pants and such. Ryu, I could picture doing something along the lines of Neil Diamond, or Barry Manilow. I think Jun would do a country song, maybe Pasty Clines (I think that's who sang this) These Boots Were Made For Walking. For the first couple of times she would play her guitar... towards the end, she would get to much into it, and not want too. I'll have to think more of Ken and Joes pics for me... plus I'll let ya know who I think would win later too.

I don't know why, but when I think of Jinpei singing, that pic of him as a rapper, which Springie likes to show us from time to time, keeps coming to my mind! Hence, Jinpei could rap, maybe accompanied by Ryu, who would join in the venture for some fun! Or, maybe, the Owl would surprise us with a tenor's voice like Pavarotti's!! I agree with the fact that Ken would be too embarrassed to sing, so, although he's the No. 1, this time he'll surely not be the winner, even if he tried! His usual whistling would really be his only option! I, somehow, imagine Joe singing the style of Brian Adams, with that kind of hoarse, sexy voice, and a song sung from the heart!! For me, he could well be the winner! Last, but not least, there's Jun! I agree with Gatchgirl regarding the country style music for her, together with her guitar. Moreover, I could also imagine her singing ABBA style! I don't know if it makes sense, but it's the way she dances that makes me think this way!

You know, I never thought of These Boots Are Made For Walking! I'm thinking of the Nancy Sinatra version, but that would be a great song for Jun! And she has the boots, too! And Jinpei doing the rap sounds right too. So like him... Marie, I'm loving the thought of Ryu being the 'gentle giant' with the amazing operatic voice!

with it being Gatchaman Idol, then there is allowed dancing too right??? If so, I could see either Joe or Ken doing dancing, ok, maybe Joe more so... In the end, I think of the 5 doing what I've pictured them doing, I think it would come down to Jun and Ryu in the end, with Ryu taking the prize.... Still for whatever reason, I'm still trying to picture what Ken might do... can't picture him singing at all.

I've got to agree with Jinpei and rap, and I can also picture Ryu joining him, maybe providing the melodic bits and a deeper counterpoint to what would be a really annoying kiddy rap voice I can't see Jun doing country though. She's a go-go girl, she wants to dance, and not just line dance. I think "These boots are made for walking" is a great choice, but I picture her doing a dance version. Joe I can picture doing some kind of very 70s ballad, some kind of tragic love song. Or "I'm in love with my car" by Queen, except it needs to be something better known for any kind of talent show. Can anyone think of a well known song about loving a car? The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and that is not right at all. I can picture Ken having tried to organise everyone to do a song together, something really poppy and innocuous, and having failed to get them to agree, having a mighty sulk.

Joe? Sammy Hagar's I Can't Drive 55.

Ooh... can you see them all doing Sunshine Day, a la the Brady Bunch?

BotP team: sorry, can't really picture any of them singing; well, maybe Princess, but that's about it. And no, I do not want to listen to Keyop rap. OAVs: Not sure about the others, but yeah, I can see this Joe doing anything metal Original Japanese cast: again, not sure about the others, but give Joe any ballad and he'll win hands down. ADV cast: again, I'd put my money on Joe (even though I haven't heard Brian Jepson sing, I do know thanks to the dvds what he has supposed to have done), so I'd like to hear him sing either Revolution or Hey Jude (the only Beatles' songs I really like).

I think Ken would sing AOR type of stuff like Journey or Prophet. Agree with TJ about Joe probably doing AC/DC and UW about him doing I Can't Drive 55 also. Ryu I think would do ZZ Top. EDIT:TJ, you inspired me to make a Megaman version of this thread on a Megaman message board just now!

I'm always an inspiration. (The question is, WTH am I inspiring? )

Great additions all.... UPW, I just about choked on my ice cubes reading your song for Joe... WTG

I could see Ken being embarassed, but if a mission dictated that they enter a singing contest I think his sense of duty would compell him to sing... something. With his big blue eyes and shaggy dark hair, he could probably rake in the teenaged votes by dressing in black and singing something angsty and emo. Joe, I agree, would go for a rock song, something with some swagger to it. I love the idea of "I can't drive 55"! Jun I see doing something that's upbeat, danceable pop and as I figure she's the Ninja with the most musical ability and experience performing, she would probably win (plus Ken and Joe would be competing for the same voters -girls who vote for the hottest guy- and cancel each other out to some degree). Ryu I see doing something country/folky, probably because he's from a small fishing village and I think he would have a small but very devoted following. I could see Jinpei deciding he wants to be a rapper, but I suspect he wouldn't get a lot of votes!

Emo? No way! Not Ken!

I didn't say he'd like it! I think Ken would do what he thought might get votes -he's competitive- and it would be shrewd strategy to differentiate himself from Joe.

I remember seeing a screen cap somewhere on ep of the week boards of Joe looking a lot like Mick Jagger so all I can think of now is him doing a Stones song! I think I would be swooning if he did Angie The only one I can really imagine singing is Jun (Isnt she strumming a guitar in the ep where they trash the snack bar in a fight?) and for some reason it is country and western too! Maybe ken would get involved if they all did something like that chumbawumba song, YMCA or Khe Sahn?

I don't think so.

I have to agree there.

TJ, I think you started something! Because I've been thinking of other _________ Idol threads too for other forums!!

LOL, Allen! I'm glad you're enjoying the thread. Hm, LB... do you really think Ken cares about winning enough to want to be 'shrewd' and differentiate himself?

I've figured out Ken's song that he would do a dance with too.... Everybody be kung fo fighting!!!

*sigh* Anyway, another song Joe could sing is "Sucker For A Pretty Face" by Eric Martin Band, because of Joe's bad luck with women. And I think Ken would sing one of the following: Don't Stop Believin' by Journey Surrender by Cheap Trick Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who

ATDW, I still like my first pic for Ken, but going along the lines of yours what about Won't Back Down by Tom Petty (I think)

Maybe that could work too.

Joe - Anything by George Thoroughgood.

And Wait Ladies and Gentlemen What is this...a surprise contestant Here to challenge the Gatchaman Idols... Ladies and Gentlement the purple wonder him/her self Katse Berg...Singing his/her own lyrics to Paul Brandt's "Convoy" song Cause I've got a great BIGGG Mecha Fying through the night Yesss, I've got a GREAT BIGGG Mecha Ain't she an interesting sight Com'on join the party Cause nothing gonna get in my Way (well maybe those pesky latex obsessed weirdos) Spectra's gonna take this planet Across the Milky Way Spectra

Ooh, Katse steals the show!!!!!! Except there's another strange contestant... the female commander in a purple evening gown singing 'I Am Woman'.... And you should hear her roar!

LMAO, that was nicely thought out, LW.

cute change of words LW.

Oh! I know another song Joe can do! Highway Star by Deep Purple! The greatest song about driving ever created!

or ACDC Highway To Hell

or Meat Loafs Bat Out Of Hell

*sigh* I'm not gonna bother posting in this thread anymore. Obviously nobody likes my choices, otherwise they wouldn't be saying "What about this instead?" or things like that, so what's the point?

The point is, we can all have different choices of songs... no one said any answer is correct, it's actually fun to see what others think is a good song and such. Here is another song that I listened to the other night and thought of Joe singing this. The group is Montgomery Gentry Everybody's talking saying this will never last Trying to see the future Judging me by my past I've always been a sinner But I've never claimed to be Anymore than what I am What you get is what you see I've always had a wild side I've always stood just a little outside the lines Living on the edge out of control Too hard to handle, Too free to hold Too hard to handle, and just too free to hold I ain't no urban cowboy I ain't no country plowboy I'm a music man I've got a whole lot of southern pride A whole lot of rowdy friends I've got whiskey on my breath A big heart in my chest I won't let you down I'll stand up and fight Lay down and die for the love I've found I've always had a wild side I've always stood just a little outside the lines Living on the edge out of control Too hard to handle, Too free to hold Too hard to handle, and just too free to hold Too hard to handle and too free to hold

Where I know the song, I agree with you. 'Highway Star' definitely has a 'Joe' vibe to it. We're spoiled for choice, at least for Joe. The others are harder to figure out.

Ken could sing 'Come Fly With Me' .
