Judge Dogeatdog, would you be so kind as to choose the first theme please?

[Kate!]

Ok seeing as this wasn’t a theme in the last game, let’s start off with a 70s round.

Thank you.

Will have a look later.

[Alf]

Sent.

[Kate!]

Received 3 songs.

[Nicky91]

i know nothing about 70s so i need loads of time

[AnnieK]

Right, so I'm a bit confused. Are we just picking a song from the 70s? Does it have to be any particular genre or just released in the 70s?

[Nicky91]

can it also be a song what has charted in the 70s?


i see on wikipedia's 1970 in music, there are couple songs which had been released in late 60's (1968, 1969) but charted in 70s decade

[Strictly Jake]

I'll send you one shortly. Thanks Kate!

[Vanessa]

Right, so I'm a bit confused. Are we just picking a song from the 70s? Does it have to be any particular genre or just released in the 70s?

It it has to have been released in the 70s.

[Kate!]

70s and outstanding vocal performance.

It it has to have been released in the 70s.

Yes, as Vanessa says please Nicky and Annie. No particular genre.

[Kate!]

Just 2 more entries to come in

[Kate!]

Just Nicky now, then I can send to the judges.

[Niamh.]

So when we're judging these what is our criteria, are we just picking which songs we like best?

[Kate!]

So when we're judging these what is our criteria, are we just picking which songs we like best?

Marks out of ten please, based on these things.

If it fits the theme
How good a vocal performance it is
and how much you personally like the song.

[Niamh.]

And the theme is 70's?

[Kate!]

[Kate!]

Oliver is considering joining the lineup of contestants.

[Nicky91]

sent

[Kate!]

I will shortly send to the judges

[Kate!]

Are you online Nicky. I can't get your song to post properly. I've tried 3 different links for it.

Do you want to change it or have you a link that will work?

[Kate!]

Oh its done now. OK Nicky you don't need to do anything. I've sorted it xx

[Kate!]

Songs are now with the judges

[Niamh.]

Just had a quick look, some absolute tunes in there. My strategy with scoring is to mark out of 5 for vocals and the same for personal taste and if it doesn't fit the theme I'll deduct 4 points from the score I give

[Kate!]

Thanks Niamh. Look forward to reading them later:love:

[Beso]

A show tonight?

[Kate!]

I’m sending my scores now. I won’t be here tomorrow and Sunday as I’m busy working over the weekend (I know it sucks right :mad:) so I won’t see how this round pans out if it starts soon but good luck to everyone. There was some really great songs this round and a few new ones I can add to my 70s Spotify playlist which is a bonus too. :thumbs:

[Cherie]

I don't mind, either is fine

[Kate!]

I don't mind, either is fine

[Nicky91]

oh no

once again i need to do my homework (wikipedia) for this


i know a lot of movie soundtracks/songs but i don't exactly know which ones have won oscars


movie week in general would've been a easier theme for me, so thank you for challenging me a bit more Alf :douf:

That's easy to find out. But there are so many great songs it's hard to pick just one.

[Kate!]

Received 3 great entries.

[Vanessa]

I will have a look when I go home. There are a few I want to listen to.
But I think I already have my song. I just want to see a few other options before I send it.

[Beso]

That's an oddly specific theme [emoji28]

I thought heavy metal was but its causing confusion. I wouldnt like to be a judge sitting through them either. It could cause ear bleed. Health and safety and all that.

[Vanessa]

But heavy metal is very broad as a genre. There are some great songs that are considered heavy metal.

[Alf]

Can we do 4 worded bands instead.Have you got a "Rage against the machine" song lined up?

[Alf]

I'm still in my garden drinking. I've just warmed up some of the barbecue I made earlier. I've got hiccups now.

[Niamh.]

No, I'll be listening to album versions.



They're gonna have to impress me on that level. Then I may move on to the unplugged version.It's still a great song on the album, he always sounds even better live though and their MTV Unplugged session was something special
