They're doing karaoke, and it kind of defeats the point of it for the viewer!

[Dan_]

Saving it all for the higlights show tommorow I bet, the swines!

[BB-Rocks]

I find it very annoying.

I hardly ever watch the live feed anymore because theirs so many sound dips

[bonnie43uk]

I agree, it totally pee's me off .. but i think they HAVE to do it for legal reasons. . . i hate any sound dips, very frustrating!!! .. i've got those sounds in my head now .. birds singing, train tooting, blackbirds squabbling. Maybe its time to change the sound effects .. I'm sure they've been using the same ones since BB2.

..i'd like a babbling brook or the sound of someone cracking open the top of a brand new coffee jar .. you know, when you pierce the paper with a spoon .. i love that sound.

[blackgloves]

I dont understand how it can be legal reasons, because tomorrow they will air it on the highlights show, and when its repeated on E4 on Sat.

[bonnie43uk]

well maybe they will only have to pay royalties only once then Blackgloves.
.. i dunno, i'm just speculating


Mmmmm .. i love that M+S advert with the glass of champaign with the raspberry in it, and the splash of pomegrante!! ... I bet susie drinks that all the time!!!!!

[blackgloves]

Oh well, guess we will just have cope with it, no doubt we will get a watered down version of tonight karaoke tomorrow.

[xGemmax]

It annoyes the hell out of me! I dont believe most of the time its for legal reasons i think usually they just want to save bits for the main show and then they dont even end up showing them. Its so annoying.

[Mike]

The sound dips are well annoying but they have to do them for legal reasons as we all know, also they like to save things like the housemates singing for the channel 4 show as it can be pretty funny.

[BB-Rocks]

The sound dips are worse this year

[SNEEZER]

I don't really know why they do it on the live feed as it's bad enough as it is, especially when they'll be airing some of it on the highlights show. Any time they have a party it just means that there'll be no sound for at least an hour. It's rubbish!

[GlitterEyes]

If they are going to pay they will only want to pay for the copyrights once for the main channel 4 show highlights rather than it all. I wish they would just get some songs they can play because watching them with no sound is awful especialy when singing.

[Mike]

Very frustrating because you just want to hear what song their singing and how funny they sound.

[GlitterEyes]

Plus if they can actually sing. Everything is to serious and its all about money. They should have plenty considering its 50p a vote. Does anyone know if the votes are down this year?

[MummyJens01]

They Were Singing " All I Want For Christmas" - I Can Lip Read A Little!!

[SNEEZER]

They earn shedloads of dosh from the phone votes so mony shouldn't be an issue. Quality entertainment and ratings should be though.

[James]

Yeah they have to pay royalties for songs sung. It can be quite expensive and I think there is an issue where artists might not necessarily approve of other people singing their material.

In a previous Big Brother the producers gave the housemates songsheets of approved songs.

[BigSister]

yeah i was watching a bit last night but i found it funny trying to work out the songs

[sol]

The first song was Dancing Queen by ABBA, and I think I managed to lip-read Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics as the second song that Mikey and Aisleyne sang, but don't quote me on the secong one. The first one was definately Dancing Queen though.

[GlitterEyes]

Yeah and a Ricky Martin track that nobody wanted to do lol.
