What? Are you on the pop Parm?

So I’ve submitted a reggae song which fits the criteria but because the original isn’t a reggae song I’ve been “penalised” for it and I’m apparently looking for loopholes to get through the rounds? That makes no ****ing sense whatsoever and I’m not wasting my time so I’m gonna remove myself from this game.

I don't understand that score either. It was a raggae song. It fitted the themes, so the score shouldn't have been that low.

Please don't quit Shaun, for me love. I did pm Nicky and told him he was out of order but he never responded.

It definitely deserved a higher score. It was one of the better songs.

Sorry but yes I’m removing myself from the game. If he’s gonna start acting like an idiot and doing stuff like this then I’m not wasting my time. I’ve got better things to do.

Good luck with the game and to everyone playing.

Neem will step in. Especially when she sees there's an Irish round. Very patriotic lady is Niamh.

Niamh is on her hols. She's not posted for a bit and will be away for the next couple of weeks. Besides which I think Jake is doing his best job. It's his opinion. X

I don't see any reason why Jake would quit anyway.

His critique of mine was that it was boring and put him to sleep. He's got to expect a comeback from me if he's gonna dish out the insults. Does he expect a thank you from me?

If the song fits the theme the score should not be less than 5.

Jake has scored two of my songs a 5 which is fair enough. He didn’t enjoy the songs but was fair with his scores which I can accept.

The reason Nicky has given is just complete bull**** in my opinion. He makes it sound as if I submitted Elton John or something for the reggae round? :laugh:


I’m not taking part when stuff like this starts to happen because it’s just a waste of time and I don’t think it’s fair if I just let it slide either because 1) he’s just getting away with it and 2) there’s a chance he’ll do it to someone else down the line.

I think you should automatically add 3 points on to Shaun's score. The judges shouldn't be allowed to go under 5 points. We've had this discussion before.

Yes, you deserved a higher score.
I also got 5.5 last week and fair enough. Maybe they didn't like the song.

Yes, he should have got at least a 5.5.

Wow me and Vanessa bottom last round now top this round. The only way is up!

This game is so unpredictable!

I agree and I have had several scores that are just silly given all the songs picked are completely within the correct context :laugh:

Kate I'm not gonna be able to play this now until at least Monday. If you need to replace me do unless it can go on a break for now. I'm off camping and will have no signal

Have a great time. Not sure I'd be able to cope with no signal :laugh:

the cover version is reggae ok fair enough, but tbh we all know Twist and Shout more from the Isley Brothers

and i stand by what score i've given, listening to this cover was just weird


i'm very open minded for song covers, if they are done the right way


i thought i'd be giving more lower scores this week so i'm impressed from this weeks song line up


as for my fellow judges, calling Many Rivers to Cross boring :mad: and it is a reggae song yup, just slow reggae, same how Bob Marley no woman no cry is also slower reggae (Londonbeat btw covered a more uptempo dance version of no woman, no cry, fun fact, in the 90's if i remember correctly)

If the song fits the theme the minimum score should be a 5.

Just LT and Barry to submit Horror soundtrack songs

Slim is the new judge, standing in for Jake. I don't have a time frame yet for how long that will be.

I guess people don't know the difference between Reggae and Dancehall

All 9 of those songs entered were Reggae and therefore fitted the criteria.
