It was my least liked, & least known category and it was the song I listened to the most from my own submissions
We'll be the judge of that!

Erm exsqueeze me? I had nothing to do with Leggings getting legless. I am the Losers Lounge resident Spin-Master (or at least I was until Leggings fired my decks through the window) Sad

It is Declan the barman who should be under investigation here. Tongue

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ari101 - 14-06-2022

I went a little different here for a giggle, could see me off to the lovely losers lounge 😆

ari - if you like Little Big Towns sound, have a listen to Girl Crush (odd song, but its defo an earworm)... if it's too country, Adam Lambert does a cover.

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Necro - 14-06-2022

Nice to see lorcand being so dedicated to the game to sit and record the Gypsy Kings on his TV pac

I enjoyed this round a lot more than the movie one, some very good entries.

Ari's was my fave, love the real country twang of Chance the Rappers version of that track.

God's country is ok your man needs to shut the fuck up and just sing though instead of waffling on for ages at the start

I expected to dislike Sephs entry but was surprised that I didn't.

Aarons .. cash cover is a cash cover, pretty much what you see is what you get.

Hadn't heard the original re: RSOAPS entry before so have no baseline really. It was grand though she gets very loud in chorus I find. Like uncomfortably so.

Not crazy about Crazy (hehe geddit) or Wichita's entries, nothing wrong with them really just preferred the others a little more.

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - jp liz v1 - 14-06-2022

Nelly is Country now, think his recent album Heartland was mostly Country

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - jp liz v1 - 14-06-2022

I think Chance The "Country" Rapper is my favourite Big Grin

great find @ari101 love how he really goes in deep country sounding

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ShaneU - 14-06-2022

In my defense... They are definitely country rock Wink

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - lorcand1990 - 14-06-2022

RSOAPS is my favourite of the round.. Nice mix of styling, not too OTT country & great vocals

I liked Wichitas & Dejas also.. Even though there was a bit of dodgy guitar work on Deja's song it still worked for me!

Sorry Spears I really wanted to like your song after you gave it the big wind up yesterday, and so did the artist for about 45 seconds at the start Tongue

but I just... didn't really get into it

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Leg End Reject - 14-06-2022

Strong round, I like Sephers', Soapy's, Deja's, Ari's, Lorcan's, E.N.'s, Liz's, Butty's and Declan's.

My initial reaction to some of them was WTF!, but I enjoyed them. That's a lot of songs for someone who isn't a fan of country. 😁

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - lorcand1990 - 14-06-2022

Almost forgot to say, from the backroom I definitely would have voted for Leggy, Declan & Liz

Alright, that's genius, fair play! By far and away the best of the round

Not my genre at all, so I struggled today, but Soapy's had some mean guitar playing and Aaron stood out for being a bit different, so they got my thanks too

(14-06-2022, 07:33 AM)DejaBoo Wrote: With mine, ya gotta get past the whistling at the beginning...

When I heard the whistling, I was already assuming it would be bottom of the pile. Fortunately they swiftly recovered, and it became my favourite song of the round

My original entry for this round was Miley Cyrus' version of 'Jolene' that Kol posted earlier in the thread, but it was a duplicate (EN, I'm looking at you... Big Grin

)

Edit: Also, how did Declan end up nominating a Wichita Lineman cover and not, well, you know who? Big Grin

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - RSOAPS - 14-06-2022

Would have loved to have seen a few more modern Country songs being covered in this round, as I think Country Music over the last decade or so has been going through a renaissance of sorts and its those 21st Century Country Hits and Artists that led to me having a bit of grá for Country Music (prior to that I would have largely dismissed the entire genre, give or take a few outliers)

Before I get into the ones I liked (because there are a fair amount that won me over), I must ask what the hell some of you are smoking losing your minds over that Hot In Herre Cover, because it sounds absolute dogshit to me, easily the worst song in the whole tournament so far (no offense ari)...

Were a couple of others that just didn't quite grab me for whatever reason, but plenty I really liked, so time for the positive feedback...

@Wichita Lineman its a shame that the audio quality is on the grainy side because this is probably my favourite in this round, certainly my favourite of the ones in contention anyway (think the Loser's Lounge was on fire today to be fair, but certainly on a par with the best ones over there)

@aaronjennings decent cover, doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but it doesn't have to, and I enjoyed it just for what it was, so Thanks given

@Spears bigging it up so much last night might be your downfall, because I nearly didn't Thank this simply because it failed to live up to the expectations you had set. I'm a fan of the original though and its a decent cover, so I gave it the nod afterall. If you're gonna talk a big game, you gotta be confident you can back it up... Tongue

@jp liz v1 don't think I know the original version, but I love Little Big Town and this is just a class performance. Easily one of my favourites of this round.

@Leg End Reject have never heard a version of this song that I don't like, and that fact remains the same after hearing this one. Another of my top tier favourites this round.

@Jluv Enjoy a bit of Lady A, and honestly You're Still The One was one of my favourite songs as a kid when it came out, and I don't listen to it all that often anymore, so this got me right in the nostalgia bone... pac

@Declan A Walsh Is that Paul Rudd waving his arms about at the very beginning? Anyway, really loved this one, a beautiful cover and probably my overall favourite of the round (bit of a toss up between this and Little Big Town - Independence Day, so was super close for my top spot)

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ari101 - 14-06-2022

No offence taken to any ones views of my Marmite choice, I'm surprised so many like it as much as they do 😆 I really enjoy it, it makes me giggle because it is a bit overdone, but also nostalgic for my youth hearing the original in clubs 🤣

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Jluv - 14-06-2022

So today my favourites were,
Deja Crazy...it just may be my party piece after a few wines🎤🎤
Rsoaps Telescope. First time I played it the video and vocals weren't in sync (no idea why). I'm not familiar with the song so looked up the original then came back and played the cover and it worked correctly this time. Loved it..
Sephs Friends in Low Places... honestly expected to hate it but I did actually enjoy it.

JPLiz won the losers lounge for me today..
