I really like this song, decent vocal performances from Bradley and very good performance from GaGa 7

Barry

I like that you sent a recent song. I do like it but I don’t listen to it a lot but Gagá’s voice, wow. 9

Dogeatdog

Not really a Lady Gaga fan but this song was actually quite refreshing. Very powerful vocals from both performers and it’s on theme so it deserves a strong score. 8

Parmnion

Niamh

Oustanding vocals for this one, good song too 9

Barry

Ugh a great choice. I love the classic feel to it, it’s a fun pop song. The scene is iconic too. 9

Dogeatdog

This is a wonderful song and the film this is from is an absolute classic as well. Joe Cocker had such an amazing voice. 9

Alf

Niamh

Flawless vocals, top marks for that, not a huge fan of the Disney type songs though 8

Barry

A Disney classic! Can’t say anymore than that really. 10!

Dogeatdog

This brought back a lot of childhood memories watching this in school at the end of term time. A nostalgic one for me personally; Disney were on fire in the 90s when it came to movie soundtracks. Great choice 9

Vanessa

Niamh

Good vocals, the song is a bit musically for my tastes though 6

Barry

I’ve not seen this movie but I don’t mind the song. Madonna is a good one though. 8

Dogeatdog

It’s a great vocal performance but I found this one a little boring. 7

Niamh

This is a difficult one to score when one of the criteria is outstanding vocal performance however I like the thinking outside the box for that and I do consider Eminem to be an outstanding vocalist in his own genre, one of the best in fact, love this song also, so I'm giving this a perfect 10!

Barry

Don’t really like rap but I do like this song. It’s one of Eminems best songs I feel. 9

Dogeatdog

A really great song from a film I can watch over and over again religiously. This is a rap song though so I’m kinda confused as to why this would be submitted tbh. 5

StrictlyJake

Niamh

Terrible vocals really imo, very stage school/talky, not a fan of the song either I'm afraid 5

Barry

Now a classic! But, I’m not a big fan, however, it fits the theme and it’s won the award. 8

Dogeatdog

A good song, it wasn’t my personal favourite of the songs in this round but I enjoyed listening to it nonetheless and it’s on theme so I’d say it deserves a strong 8.

Niamh

hhhmmm the original of the song has much better vocals for a start, I don't like this version at all and I also don't think it fits the theme, I took the theme to mean the actual song that won the award which isn't this one I would be generous to give this a 6 for a combination of vocals & likability but then I'd have to deduct 4 points for not fitting the theme, in this instance I will deduct 2 points rather than 4 though since it half fits - 4

Barry

I’m not sure if the theme meant the original song that won the Oscar or if covers were allowed. It’s good that you were different though. I’d prefer the original though. 8

Dogeatdog

Ok I found this one a bit bizarre. The Celine Dion version was the one that won the Academy Award so I don’t get why that version wasn’t submitted and this was?

Was it a good vocal performance? Yes but I wasn’t really enjoying this version of the song. It was more upbeat but “My Heart Will Go On” is a sad song and to hear it like this for me personally seemed odd. Would’ve definitely been better of submitting Celine’s version instead. 5

Parmy, as you and Alf scored highest, can you please choose the theme for round 3?

Alf · 13-06-2023, 08:56 PM

I'm quite surprised by some of those choices.

I expected the Whitney and Mariah duet.
I expected some Celine Dion
I expected Dirty Dancing.
And I definitely expected the best of all these songs. "What a feeling" by Irene Cara.

Annie is always a dangerous competitor. I remember her catching me last time we had one of these games.

Beso · 13-06-2023, 09:09 PM

Heavy metal.

I know that Pearl Jam is a certain 10 from Niamh.

That's not heavy metal. They're a rock band.

Heavy metal is a form of rock. Pearl Jam are quite heavy.

Thanks for comments. Bit confused by my comments from Dog Eat Dog. The song won an oscar, Eminem is an outstanding vocalist....just because its rapped and not sung why would you be confused as to why it was submitted?

I think you did well with that song.

Eminem is a great artist. But he's not a great vocalist. He's a great lyricist, but not vocalist.

Shaun Ryder is a genius lyricist, but he can't out vocal someone like Elvis Pressley.

Mmm....not sure I agree. Eminem writes lyrics but without his vocal skill its impossible to deliver the lines of a rap......I know, ive tried

Its kind of subjective.

I agree on the Ryder point.....love him but he sure isn't Elvis

Vanessa · 13-06-2023, 09:46 PM

I love 8 mile. I wish I had put that in. From now on I'm going with my first instincts.

To me singing and rapping are two completely different things and the game is called super singer (not to sound patronising or anything) so that was why I was confused. Like you said tho it’s subjective.
