RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 @lorcand1990 - Carla Bruni - The Winner Takes it All Original Artist: ABBA RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 @Wichita Lineman - Angie McMahon - Knowing Me, Knowing You Original Artist: ABBA RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 Songs that didn't qualify for this round @jp liz v1 - Sinéad O' Connor - Chiquitita Original Artist: ABBA @Declan A Walsh - Ash - Does your Mother know? Original Artist: ABBA @Butty Brennan - Zara Larsson - Lay All Your Love on Me Original Artist: ABBA RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ari101 - 10-06-2022 My original choice of Chiquitita was better than that Sinead version (can you tell I don't like her 🤣) and it's not even in for voting 😒 but I like my alternate option, this was a harder round to be late entering for 😅😁 RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Wichita Lineman - 10-06-2022 Yet again @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick gets the nod from me today for the best with Little Quirks - SOS. As I wasnt one of the early entrants I'm so glad no one had already taken 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' as I think the Angie McMahon cover I found is brilliant too.

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - nothing - 10-06-2022 A tad disappointed with some of today's Would listen again Ari, spears, lorc Enjoyed it but wouldn't seek it out Seph, deja, RSOAPS, aaron Not my cup of tea Leggy, jluv, EN, wichy I absolutely hated Wichita Linemans entry, sorry, it's the closed mouth singing where you can't make out half the words that irks me. On the other end, loved ari101s entry. Different enough to be distinct, but not so different that the song is no longer recognisable RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - E.N. - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 09:52 AM)Wichita Lineman Wrote: Yet again @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick gets the nod from me today for the best with Little Quirks - SOSSoapy goes on one drunken rant and everyone gets scared and starts voting for them 🤣 That's it, I'm cracking open the morning gin! RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Leg End Reject - 10-06-2022 I'm trying to listen to these using phone data and they just keep buffering. I've heard Ari's and really like it, will listen to the other later and vote. RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Wichita Lineman - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 11:10 AM)E.N.

Buddy, that was a Stone Cold Steve Austin Completely Sober Rant... If I go on a Drunken Rant at any point my goal will be to make some people cry on account of how blunt and harsh I'm being... Granted some people might cry at a sober rant too, but it likely wouldn't be my intention... By all means though, break out the morning Gin, nowt wrong with starting early...

Might just be bad connection though I had to go back and give your song a vote because I found myself humming the tune... aesthetically pretty good too RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - RSOAPS - 10-06-2022 Overall, was a highly enjoyable round, there were more highlights than I expected, and these are the ones that fared well in my Thankings...

Sadly, I expected that it wouldn't get the respect and adoration it deserves from some of the sheeple around here, bit too unique and interesting for more than a few of them I imagine. And thats the problem with allowing the public to vote or not hiring judges that are fit for purpose (pew pew pew, shots fired), because this one should be leading the rankings today from the outset... (turns out I still had a little bit of rant ligering over from last night after all... ) RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - nothing - 10-06-2022 *makes note to vote off Soapy at first opportunity* RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Sephiroth_Dude - 10-06-2022 Based on the number of votes I've gotten so far I think I'll be the one going tonight 😩 RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - RSOAPS - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 01:44 PM)nothing Wrote: Well I've always enjoyed playing with fire and I've got a big box of matches just itching to be lit... RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Leg End Reject - 10-06-2022 Wow, a really strong round there. I liked how the change in tempo in some of the covers completely changed the tone of the songs while they were still unmistakenly ABBA songs. I've thanked a lot of these! Some really great finds there. RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - aaronjennings - 10-06-2022 I wasn't happy submitting Westlife, but in my defence they were my third choice, after my first two nominations were rejected as duplicates (both of whch I think are way better than the versions that were accepted, just saying ) Seems to be mid-table in terms of votes, but I thought Deja had the best song of the day for me RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 Here is a real interesting one that didn't make the cut for obvious reasons.

RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - aaronjennings - 10-06-2022 That's the version of the song that would be sung by ABBAdon RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Jluv - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 01:45 PM)Sephiroth_Dude Wrote: Based on the number of votes I've gotten so far I think I'll be the one going tonight 😩 I think you might be safe Seph. Even I didn't vote for myself this time.. I originally submitted Il Divo Winner Takes It All but Lorcand had chosen that song already so I quickly picked that one. My coat is by the door😁 RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - jp liz v1 - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 09:33 AM)ari101 Wrote: My original choice of Chiquitita was better than that Sinead version (can you tell I don't like her 🤣) and it's not even in for voting 😒 but I like my alternate option, this was a harder round to be late entering for 😅😁 RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Necro - 10-06-2022 Only listening now, liked ari's entry and was pleasantly surprised by Spears entry too, his voice is awesome. RSoaps entry is also great but I'm not thanking it out of sheer spite RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - RSOAPS - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 05:52 PM)Necro Wrote: RSoaps entry is also great but I'm not thanking it out of sheer spite I'd expect no less...

Anyway... @ari101 Nothing at all wrong with this cover, but I didn't vote for it just because I'm not that keen on the original x @lorcand1990 again, another good cover. But I didn't vote for it becuase atm, I found it a tad boring to listen to.. sorry. @DejaBoo You got a vote for sexiness here! I love JG's character in Mindhunter, so he's definitely getting a vote for being such a beaut @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick This was my favourite of the round! Think I'll look up the band because they have anice sound to them. SNAP.. exactly what Rachel said about @Wichita Lineman submission! Losers lounge/The green room Sorry guys, wasn't a fan of anything tonight RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Jluv - 10-06-2022 My favourites today were Spears and Witchie..would and have listened to them a few times..

I came across this when looking up songs for the category. Thought it was hilarious RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - E.N. - 10-06-2022 I was half joking about not wanting to listen to 12 ABBA covers but in the end it was true. Only had time to blitz through one quick listen and none really jumped out. My problem is that I'm not really an ABBA fan, and their songs are very idiosyncratic, so it's so hard to do much with them as a cover. I didn't even like mine on a relisten @ari101's was the best for me I think Wichi's is the first I've seen of Triple J radio's "Like A Version". It's a great feature, I've listened to it loads before this comp and a good few of my upcoming picks come from there RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - DejaBoo - 10-06-2022 (10-06-2022, 06:40 PM)Spears Wrote: @DejaBoo You got a vote for sexiness here!Oh my, no one has ever said ^ that to me before ....oh wait, you meant him, yes yes indeed *makes note to post more cuties at tournament time* RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 Votes have been counted @Jluv and @Sephiroth_Dude Jluv - Abba The Show-I do, I do, I do, I do, I do Seph - The Bjorn Identity - Don't Shut Me Down Over to you judges @Necro @nothing @ShaneU Please tell us who you want to send home and your reason why. RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 The most voted for act today was @ari101 with Super Trouper. Well done Ari, a great rendition indeed. RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ari101 - 10-06-2022 Woohoo, thanks, that worked out well in the end! RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Kol - 10-06-2022 Looks like its Chinesse night RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - Necro - 10-06-2022 I'm sending Seph home. I really didn't like that entry of his and while jluv has been here before I still think his entry was worse. Short and sweet tonight.

Looked at my phone and it was only 7.30 and I'd been asleep for ten mins RE: The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show - ShaneU - 10-06-2022 Both of you chose ABBA cover bands and both managed to pick ABBA songs I've never heard of..... If I had my way I'd kick both your butts out the door. However one song was slightly less mind numbingly boring than the other so tonight I'm sending home Spoiler
