I was considering the Rembrandts let's see how that plays out

[Kate!]

Parmnion. Scores and Comments.

SONG 1...I should mark down cause theres 2 voices, and it's not the most powerful of vocals. But I do like rem, and his voice. So you get a nine.

SONG 2..sorry, I cant stand it..7

SONG 3..you went for theme over vocals, it's another 7

SONG 4..A bit of a let down tbh, if you are doing Freddie mercury, you should have saved him for another round and a better song...7

SONG 5.... I'm not even going there...5

SONG 6..this is what you should all be striving for in a vocal contest. 10.

[Kate!]

Ammi. Scores and comments.

Song 1

ok, this was one that I was conflicted with but it’s a solid song from REM so 7/10…

Song 2

Mariah is always a good vocal and this is no exception so 7/10…

Song 3

this is a theme song for ‘friendships’ and possibly the most well known one so a very deserving 7/0….

Song 4

Its Queen, it’s Freddie, it’s Fabulous and it’s Friendship…especially on those karaoke nights 8/10…

Song 5

I loved this, I hadn’t heard it before so thank you to whoever for introducing it…summer friendships, nostalgia, sunshine and joy…it had it all 9/10…

Song 6

Bill Withers, always a reliable vocal and another deserving 7/10…

[Kate!]

AnnieK. Scores and comments.

…well done all…:love:…

[Kate!]

I'll now invite Annie to choose the next theme, as next alphabetically.

[Dogeatdog]

Oh a great start. I was going to choose The Rembrandts but I thought that would’ve been an obvious choice so I decided to go with the song that was originally going to be used for the Friends intro theme.

[Cherie]

ah great start not much in it, thanks for the 10 Parmy

[Vanessa]

Thanks for the scores, anything above a 6 is a positive for me :laugh:
I had so many songs I wanted to use. It was hard to choose.
But I've always loved Mariah voice. I think she's brilliant.

[Kate!]

Round 2 theme is Colours.

[Vanessa]

Round 2 theme is Colours.

Is that a song with a colour on the title or the word colour?

[Kate!]

Is that a song with a colour on the title or the word colour?

Hang on, I'll get clarification. X

[Strictly Jake]

Oh a great start. I was going to choose The Rembrandts but I thought that would’ve been an obvious choice so I decided to go with the song that was originally going to be used for the Friends intro theme.

Shiny happy people was going to be the original theme?

[Vanessa]

Shiny happy people was going to be the original theme?

I didn't know that :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Well done everyone. You've all put a smile on my face. I was so upset today. This really helps me not to think too much.

[Kate!]

To clarify...

The theme is Colours.

The song title has to contain the name of a colour.

[Vanessa]

To clarify...

The theme is Colours.

The song title has to contain the name of a colour.

Thanks :blush:

[Barry.]

All very close

[Kate!]

Just Barry and Dogeatdog to send their songs.

[Dogeatdog]

Shiny happy people was going to be the original theme?

Yh there’s lots of articles about it. REM didn’t give them the rights to use the song so we got The Rembrandts instead. There was a video of the original opening theme with the REM song and different titles of the show on YouTube somewhere. Not sure if it’s still about tho?

[Dogeatdog]

Song has been sent. Thanks Kate

…Michael Stripe didn’t give the rights because he didn’t see the ‘fit’ with the vibe of the series as it was a serious political song…the lyrics were more ironic of those ‘shiny happy people’ that were seen in propaganda posters…depicting something that wasn’t a reality of lives …REM lyrics/songs do tend to often be quite political in meaning and quite deep….I think the catchiness on the tune of Shiny Happy People was more meant as an ironic contrast…?..but that’s the very thing that made it so popular, wasn’t it…so there was an irony…:laugh:…I wounder if Michael Stripe ever regretted his decision with the multiple million dollars earned in Royalties of the Friends theme tune….

Parmy. Scores and comments.

Vanessa. Oh that was right good, took me right back to the heartbreak and sadness of a love so young. It just has to be a 10.

Barry. Prince was a hard act to follow, sorry but the beat and rhythm of the song is too overpowering for the vocals to glow. 7

Kate. Crisp and clear, not to shabby for a tired old copper. 9

Cherie. Never heard this before, old ginger top does it justice and can rightfully stand alongside the original..10

Dogeatdog. Sounds too electric to be his natural voice..so I'm going to be mean..5

Strictly Jake. Nice voice, a bit generic though, and didn't appeal to me all the way through the song. 8

[Kate!]

Barry, as next alphabetically, can you please choose the theme for Round 3. Thank you.

[Barry.]

Ok let me have a thinker

[Barry.]

Songs you don’t like

[Cherie]

Oh gosh great theme Baz

[Kate!]

Songs you don’t like

Ooh, that's a different choice. Thank you.

[Kate!]

Well done Cherie btw

[Vanessa]

Thanks for the scores. Very happy with that.

[Kate!]

So the theme is Songs you don't like, yet with great vocal performances. I'll have to think hard about this.

[Kate!]

Thanks for the scores. Very happy with that.

You're doing very well :thumbs:

[Vanessa]

So the theme is Songs you don't like, yet with great vocal performances. I'll have to think hard about this.

A song we don't like, but still great vocals. Ok. I get it.

[Cherie]

Well done Cherie btw

Cheers and to the judges

[Barry.]

Yeah congrats on being top Cherie but it shall stop next round!

[Ammi]

…well done all in that last round…:love:….I like that there are new songs that I haven’t heard before, to listen to as well each time…

[Ammi]

…in a heartbeat, I know which song I would choose for Barry’s theme…:laugh:…

[Beso]

Remember to be truthfull in your choices...you MUST hate the song.

[Kate!]

Got 3 songs. 3 to come.

[Barry.]

Now that I’ve choose this I have at least 5 songs in mind

[Barry.]

I forgot to ask Kate. Do they score on how bad the song is to them or how much they like it because that will decide my choice

[Ammi]

…that’s also what I was about to ask for this round…are we judging them on what we dislike or what we like of the disliked…:laugh:…

[Kate!]

…that’s also what I was about to ask for this round…are we judging them on what we dislike or what we like of the disliked…:laugh:…

What you like. It still has to fit the theme and be a great vocal performance. Judging criteria hasn't changed.

[Beso]

How can you hate a brilliant vocal performance?

[Kate!]

How can you hate a brilliant vocal performance?

Easy. It might just not be your taste, your "thing" but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge it.

[Kate!]

Just Barry and Dogeatdog to submit

[Vanessa]

How can you hate a brilliant vocal performance?

You might find it annoying. I don't really hate any song, but some I find very annoying. Even though the singing may be very good.

[Ammi]

…ok, songs y’all don’t like, hmmmmmmmm….:laugh:…strangely, I liked that round and I thought that there might have been some shockers …good luck all…:love:…

[Cherie]

No crazy frog :laugh:

[Cherie]

Kate am I next to choose? as I am travelling tomorrow so could choose now if you like

[Kate!]

Kate am I next to choose? as I am travelling tomorrow so could choose now if you like

Yes you are Cherie. You may choose whenever you are ready, either in here or by pm. Thanks xx

[Cherie]

okay female country singers folks...

[Ammi]

…now that everyone has chosen for that last theme, I’ll post the first one that I would have instinctively thought of…it’s no surprise really because it’s connected to a don’t like movie also….

yes horrendous :laugh:

…Michael Stripe didn’t give the rights because he didn’t see the ‘fit’ with the vibe of the series as it was a serious political song…the lyrics were more ironic of those ‘shiny happy people’ that were seen in propaganda posters…depicting something that wasn’t a reality of lives …REM lyrics/songs do tend to often be quite political in meaning and quite deep….I think the catchiness on the tune of Shiny Happy People was more meant as an ironic contrast…?..but that’s the very thing that made it so popular, wasn’t it…so there was an irony…:laugh:…I wounder if Michael Stripe ever regretted his decision with the multiple million dollars earned in Royalties of the Friends theme tune….

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/rem-shiny-happy-people-song-meaning-tiananmen-square/

Now your comments for this song choice make sense to me :laugh:. I never realised it was a political song. You learn something new everyday :laugh:

[Ammi]

Now your comments for this song choice make sense to me :laugh:. I never realised it was a political song. You learn something new everyday :laugh:

…I had previously not known that it had been the original chosen ‘Friends song’ either until I googled it so your choice of it, led me to discovering that, also…that’s one of the great things about music, isn’t it…discovering a meaning and how it attaches and different attachments can then create those multiple meanings…but yeah, it was quite unexpected for me because of how I attached it as having a political slanting…and that’s only because I know that REM tracks often do…so I wasn’t sure how to judge it…(…hence my googling and seeing how it was originally considered for Friends…:laugh:…)…in hindsight, actually…it’s the one song that I think that I should have scored a bit higher…

[Kate!]

Show may be tomorrow night....watch this space.

[Strictly Jake]

Confused by how the judges will score this one. Will they score low if they actually like the song as they would feel it doesn't match the theme??

[hijaxers]

…now that everyone has chosen for that last theme, I’ll post the first one that I would have instinctively thought of…it’s no surprise really because it’s connected to a don’t like movie also….

Thats a dog of a song totally cringe, but so is every song she sings,she has a knack for awful songs.

[Dogeatdog]

The next round for me will be difficult because I hate country music

[Kate!]

Confused by how the judges will score this one. Will they score low if they actually like the song as they would feel it doesn't match the theme??

I will expect everyone to get a minimum of 5 as it is the contestants prerogative to dislike the song. The rest of the scores should reflect vocal performance as usual. I hereby instruct the judges as such. One has already judged and they have done it in the correct way.

[Vanessa]

Thats a dog of a song totally cringe, but so is every song she sings,she has a knack for awful songs.

Omg I love that song.

…yeah, it feels like a strange one to judge in a way, Jake…but really it isn’t, as Kate said…I guess there is one difference in that no song would or could not fit the theme because it’s not for the judges to make any call on whether a song was liked or not…?…so all songs would get upwards from a 5….then I just judged as I always do and probably commented on whether I personally liked the song or not….

[Ammi]

Omg I love that song.

…:love:…and your heart/love will go on for it, Vanessa…:love:..

Thanks Judges

I knew my song would be a risk. Ammi getting sassy, I like it

[Vanessa]

Well done everyone.
I'm so tired tonight. I'll get a coffee, then start looking.

[Beso]

I've re listened to bieber again, and I think I should put it up to an 8, it's one I like because of his vocals, rather than the tune itself...which is ironic when it should be hated.

Can that be done please kate?

[Beso]

Well done vanessa for getting all three judges to hate your song. I'd give you an extra point if I was the producer.

[Vanessa]

That was a weird one. And the judges were saying things like it's not a song I hate. Well it should be a song the player hates. Having said that I'm ok with my scores.

For the record I can't stand Valerie and am not an Amy fan, I think she is very overrated

It was. I'm not really into country, but great selection of songs.

[Strictly Jake]

It was annoying as I also chose Carrie Underwood which was taken and then I chose Leann Rimes which was also taken...both scoring a 10 off Ammi. So Shania was my third choice and I came bottom

I was quietly confident nobody else would choose Faith.

Whoever wins, it will be a hollow win. Because Mr Supersinger (me) wasn't in the competition.

It's like winning Wimbledon without Djokovic in.

But do enjoy.

For the record I can't stand Valerie and am not an Amy fan, I think she is very overratedCherie is back on the drugs.

I have an idea for a theme but are we allowed to submit songs by boy/girl groups or is it just solo artists?

C6pLV9xZczM

Nope

[Ammi]

…I wasn’t sure about these on first listen…but I do think that all of the chosen songs are a good reflection of the vocal ‘super singer’ talents of the housemate and I can see why each were chosen….


…Coolio, though…:laugh:…

[Strictly Jake]

Oh no. I was hoping others would forget the person I chose was a housemate but I'm pretty sure I'm on of the three of the six Kate is on about here. Great that's gonna be yet another low score

[Strictly Jake]

And I was so close to picking Coolio too!! But I thought he doesn't really class as a super singer

[Vanessa]

And I was so close to picking Coolio too!! But I thought he doesn't really class as a super singer

He was in my top three. I love that song.

Parmy. Scores and comments.

Cherie..It didnt hit any spots for me, the song just needed more, but we just got bored. 6

Dogeatdog..well thank god that last effort is finished.. This is more like. Simple crisp and clear, not brash and far more pleasing to the ear ...9

StrictlyJake...beautiful Robbie, what a voice. It gives me chills..10

Kate..I don't have a clue if he's a judge or contestant or whatever. Nice voice though. 8

Vanessa.. I know bands were allowed, but it doesnt mean you had to pick one ...barlows voice is so off putting, I'm starting you at a ten and taking 2 off for Barlow..1 off for no Robbie, and one for having a group..but will add one cause it's a good song. ..giving you 7

Barry..you cant expect points for that can you? 5

He was a contestant Parm, he was the winner.

[Kate!]

What if it’s a band and only a few were under 18?

[Kate!]
