Supersinger 2. Round 7. Semi Final. Foreign songs.

[Kate!]

I'm going to post the entries first, and then the comments and scores will follow so you know who submitted which song. Here we go.

Contestants. These are the songs for round 7. Around the world. Foreign language songs. You will notice that Nessun Dorma is in the mix twice. However its by a different artist and therefore a different vocal performance to be judged. Please don't kick off Parm :laugh:

two versions of Nessun Dorma :laugh3: as if you can't find more foreign language songs, how lazy

[Kate!]

No Nicky don't be daft, everyone's getting stroppy, just enjoy the game.

[hijaxers]

Please yourself Nicky, i give up.

Not surprised !

[Nicky91]

Please yourself Nicky, i give up.

at least i'm not lazy to google foreign language music on youtube :smug:


great channels include

Cat Music (Romania)

PlanetaOfficial (Bulgaria)

Grand Production (Serbia)

Royal Films (Serbia)

Panik Records (Greece)

Ich Find Schlager Toll (Germany)

Schlager Fur Alle (Germany)

Klasszik (Portugal)



but we all know brits are lazy which is why they voted for that brex**** :hehe:

[Nicky91]

maybe i should've been more clear and also banned spanish, italian language songs ;)

[Nicky91]

who cares about that turd loser Andrea Bocelli :yuk:

[hijaxers]

who cares about that turd loser Andrea Bocelli :yuk:

Ok we get it ~ you're peed off !

[Nicky91]

Ok we get it ~ you're peed off !

for understandable reasons though


was i most authentic this week - YUP


well some of you haven't heard of my choice, well lol this song is only few months old and he's quite a new artist too in the balkan scene



i was robbed big time of a top 3 this week and you all know it :bawling:

[Nicky91]

and ok fair enough i don't find Bocelli a turd, some songs i like from him, Fall On Me with his son Matteo for example


or that magical duet at the ema's with Tori Kelly ''just give me a reason'' cover, haunting, i had goosebumps :love:



Nessun Dorma is just so overused sorry not sorry, don't find it anything special anymore either



Mas Que Nada good find, Sergio Mendes one is the original yup yup, where the Peas their version is more popular in terms of streams maybe although Sergio's is quite a hit for samba dancing

[Vanessa]

I won a round! I'm so happy! :cheer2:

[Vanessa]

The score is actually quite close. It's all to play for. Anyone could win.

[Vanessa]

I love Pavarotti and Boccelli. That would have been a straight 10 from me.

[AnnieK]

Well done everyone.
Up to you Kate....I will have a think of a theme or if you'd prefer Vanessa to choose as she topped the leader board that fine too

[Kate!]

Well done everyone.
Up to you Kate....I will have a think of a theme or if you'd prefer Vanessa to choose as she topped the leader board that fine too

It's two themes for the final please Annie. That's what I meant. So if you'd like, then you choose one and Vanessa can choose the other. Xx

[Vanessa]

Have we done a movie round? I don't remember....

[Alf]

Have we done a movie round? I don't remember....I chose Oscar winning song.

[Alf]

I have a suggestion of a theme. You don't have to go with it. It's just a suggestion.

Male female duets.

[Beso]

I love Pavarotti and Boccelli. That would have been a straight 10 from me.

It was by the only judge with an ear for vocal talent as well.

Pity neem say it out. But she made up for it by being very funny with her protest.:joker:

[Beso]

Ps, I left a little comment on all the videos on youtube.

[Alf]

I liked Dogeatdog's comments. They came straight from the Alf comments manual.

I definitely agree with the comment for Nicky's

[Vanessa]

I have a suggestion of a theme. You don't have to go with it. It's just a suggestion.

Male female duets.

I like this.

[Alf]

Was Niamh only protesting for one round?

[Kate!]

Was Niamh only protesting for one round?

Yep

[Vanessa]

Ok. Duets. Male and female. I like this theme. Thanks Alf.

[Kate!]

So Theme 1 for the final is confirmed as Male/female duets. Excited to see what Annie chooses. X

[Beso]

Can I interject here?

[Kate!]

Can I interject here?

You may

[Beso]

You may

I was going to say vanessa should pick her own theme, unswayed by a contestant.

But alf has led all the way and deserves the choice for the final.

Did you enjoy your birthday?

[Alf]

I was going to say vanessa should pick her own theme, unswayed by a contestant.

But alf has led all the way and deserves the choice for the final.

Did you enjoy your birthday?I don't mind either way. I'll go with whatever gets chosen. I just think that will be a good theme because there's lots of great duets with a male and female artist singing together. I don't want to sway anyone's decision. I was just putting a suggestion out there. If Vanessa comes up with something else then I'll be happy to go with that. Whatever we go with will be better than Nicky's theme.

[Beso]

Can we send the songs now? and maybe do a 2 part final to make it easier on kate and the judges?

[Vanessa]

So Theme 1 for the final is confirmed as Male/female duets. Excited to see what Annie chooses. X

I'm happy with this theme. It's some different that we haven't done before.

[Strictly Jake]

maybe i should've been more clear and also banned spanish, italian language songs ;)

Well mine was Tagalog so...

[Cherie]

Can we send the songs now? and maybe do a 2 part final to make it easier on kate and the judges?

I think that is a good idea

[Nicky91]

what a bunch of amateurs the rest of you are :joker:


i stand way above you all in terms of diverse music taste :flutter: :smug:

[Nicky91]

sent my Male/Female duet choice now

[Alf]

what a bunch of amateurs the rest of you are :joker:


i stand way above you all in terms of diverse music taste :flutter: :smug:You know nothing about music. And that's why you're bottom of the table. The table doesn't lie.

[Nicky91]

You know nothing about music. And that's why you're bottom of the table. The table doesn't lie.

i admit i made some wrong choices maybe, i thought this was a game similar to ''Popstars'' but it is mainly focus on vocals, this is so awkward for me, that i was more thinking of sending easy listening bops

[Kate!]

I'm not accepting an entry from Nicky. He quit.

[Beso]

Lucky for us this is just a best vocals competition.:dance:

[Nicky91]

you know me, i can be overdramatic :shrug:


one last entry pretty please please and i swear i won't argue against what scores and feedback i get then, one last chance to go out on a high pls

[Kate!]

you know me, i can be overdramatic :shrug:


one last entry pretty please please and i swear i won't argue against what scores and feedback i get then, one last chance to go out on a high pls

No.

[Kate!]

Implementing Parms great idea of a two part final. Final part 1 will be Male/female duets.

[Vanessa]

I already have my duet song. I'll send it later on. I'm at work.

[Cherie]

I'm not accepting an entry from Nicky. He quit.

so did Parm :shrug: dont be mean

[Cherie]

I thought it was just the players bringing drama, this round the judges and the host are also bringing it :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Let's forgive and forget. There's only one more round left.

[Nicky91]

as if Kate doesn't know me :fan:


i said i withdraw more out of bitterness and disappointment this round, i really had expected better scores for my easy listening earwurmy bop


not that i really meant it, i just want one more round, male/female duets is actually my specialty, i know many quality male-female duets so not to be too overconfident or anything but i have good hopes for my last score to be a very high one, i'm that confident about my choice i submitted to you Kate

[Vanessa]

It's only a game, Nicky. I haven't been doing great either. But nevermind. You can't always win.

[Vanessa]

I've been flopping badly this time. Sometimes it happens :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I'm quite busy at work. Will post my duet song after 5 pm.
Bit of a risky one, but it's a favourite of mine and it means a lot to me.

[AnnieK]

The second Final Theme is..........bands with animals in their names

[Cherie]

The second Final Theme is..........bands with animals in their names

Nice one Annie

[Barry.]

so did Parm :shrug: dont be mean

True and they both do this in almost all music games they are in. Nicky’s got to stop looking for attention though, he can be mean and people let him get away with it.

[hijaxers]

The second Final Theme is..........bands with animals in their names

Brilliant choice loads to choose from.

[Kate!]

Nicky is out, and unfortunately that's final. He's 29 not 15, but acts it. Everyone always excuses him and let's him off with his behaviour. I've just about had a belly full of it.

[Kate!]

Please send your songs when you are ready. Xx

[Nicky91]

True and they both do this in almost all music games they are in. Nicky’s got to stop looking for attention though, he can be mean and people let him get away with it.

i wasn't mean towards you this round tbh, god bless ur diverse music taste too and you are such a very nice judge, 8's 9's for everyone wow, you're so sweet :hug:

and ok i'm out, you win Kate, i don't wanna fight with you


good luck to all of the finalists :hug:

No you weren’t mean to me but you were mean to the players saying they lack taste etc. You got to know when to quit with the attitude

[Nicky91]

oh well, its only a silly game anyway, i'll happily take ''red lantern'' - last place


surprise me in terms of male/female duet choices, there are lots of great ones available so think it through, and you know what makes a great duet, right

1) great harmonies
2) great vocals
3) lots of emotion or drama or storytelling


am looking forward to the final :love: and i'm a spectator now, so no more nerves for me hurrah

[Kate!]

Received a few entries.

[Cherie]

No you weren’t mean to me but you were mean to the players saying they lack taste etc. You got to know when to quit with the attitude

Like any of the players took any notice, its Nicky being Nicky.

I am not happy with your decision Kate but its your game

Anyone else doing it would not get away with it. Are you saying that because it’s Nicky being nicky then he can be nasty? why can’t I act like that without players noticing.

I do agree that he shouldn’t be removed from the game since park did it too.

All he said was he had better taste than the rest of us, its not nasty per se in my book

[Alf]

Both my songs sent.

If everyone including the judges gets a wriggle on over the weekend. We can get a final show for Sunday night/Monday at the latest. Let's not drag this on into the middle of next week.

I think Gianna Schicchi is the name of the opera.

[Niamh.]

Both my songs sent.

If everyone including the judges gets a wriggle on over the weekend. We can get a final show for Sunday night/Monday at the latest. Let's not drag this on into the middle of next week.I won't be able to judge over the weekend, I told Kate that before it started

[Alf]

I won't be able to judge over the weekend, I told Kate that before it startedYou can do it Niamh, I have faith in you. If not, get it done Monday daytime, then we can have a Monday evening final. Don't let me down.

It's Derby day in Hull on Sunday. So I'm gonna be pissed anyway. So Monday is good for me

[Niamh.]

You can do it Niamh, I have faith in you. If not, get it done Monday daytime, then we can have a Monday evening final. Don't let me down.

It's Derby day in Hull on Sunday. So I'm gonna be pissed anyway. So Monday is good for meI literally can't, I won't have Internet, I'll do it Monday morning

[Kate!]

A couple of things.

The final is going to be split into two parts for those who don't know, just to recap. First part will be Male/female duets and second will be bands with animals in their names.

This is so the judges don't have to judge 14 songs at once.

So the second part of the final will perhaps be Thursday by the time we are all done and dusted.

Yes Niamh, you did make us aware you couldn't vote at weekends, I think other judges had that stipulation too.

And now for the elephant in the room. Nicky. Ok, I must be soft in the head or something but he can take part. I don't think he'll ever learn but we'll finish as we started, with 7 players. I'm still not happy with his consistent attitude, with digs at fellow contestants and judges throughout the game. However, as I didn't exclude Parm for quitting, I can't in all conscience stick to my guns here. I have Nickys song. I'll include it.

[Cherie]

Nawww you softy Kate thankyou

[Beso]

The second Final Theme is..........bands with animals in their names

Ooo

[Kate!]

This is hard to write, and it feels like I'm a big meanie lol :laugh: but I have to say I can't allow either The Beatles or the Monkees as animals because they aren't spelled right to fit the theme. It's very strict, I know, I know, and I'm sorry to the two contestants who chose them. I just wouldn't want to see you marked down on a technicality. Maybe the judges wouldn't have been so strict but it is the Final so could you please choose again guys.

Yours sorrowfully,

Kate xx

[Nicky91]

tone down on the attitude, got it


but tbh sometimes i think i need to bring the drama for added excitement in the game but ok no insults, everyone has different tastes of music, it is a beautiful thing too, would be boring if we all had the same tastes

[Kate!]

I've received about half the songs.

[Vanessa]

tone down on the attitude, got it

[Kate!]

Yes lets wait for Shaun , is anyone in a hurry ?

No but on the other hand, I don't like the game dragging on.

Can you remember thisis about vocal talent please.

[hijaxers]

Ahhh I used to love the TV show, I probably would have given Alf a 10 for that song [emoji12]

Yes i loved the show , music is just so dated teeny bop.

[Alf]

I thought it was a good anthem to finish with. My victory song.

The one I ended up choosing was better vocally. So I still think I win.

[Kate!]

Ok. I'm here. Posting the thread now.
