FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - E.N. - 30-12-2022

Welcome to the Song of the Year 2022 contest!

First thing to note, this thread is for everyone. If you didn't nominate a song but want to listen and judge then please do, the more the merrier!

Initially, we have four groups of five songs. I'll post these on the mornings of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th. Your job is to send me scores for each song, out of five

I'm not too prescriptive on how you score them but, for consistency, aim for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
However, if you can't separate some, feel free to give them the same score, and feel free to score zero if you want! And you can score your own songs

I won't announce the results until all the rounds are complete, then we'll go into knock outs. The top two from each group will start in the QFs. These rounds will be one day each, and you can vote on thread, like one of Kol's tournaments

So the knockouts will be...
QFs 9th Jan
SFs 10th Jan
Final 11th Jan

Think that's it, see you back here on the 1st!

What time is the cut off point each day @E.N.?

I might not be able to listen to the songs properly til after work..

That's fine, late won't be an issue.
Also, there's two days for each group, so you should have time. Then you'll have listened to them all before the knockouts anyway Smile

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - E.N. - 01-01-2023

Right, let's kick off with GROUP A

A reminder to PM me marks out of 5 for each song. Aim to score them 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 but I'm happy with a bit of flexibility around that. You have two days

Here we go...

1 Kenny Chesney - Knowing You

2 The Big Moon - Trouble

3 Metric - Doomscroller

4 Lizzo - About Damn Time

5 Kiss Me by Dermot Kennedy

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - RSOAPS - 01-01-2023

@E.N. Ref! Ref!

There's a song there from Kenny Chesney that came off a 2020 album and was released as a single in March 2021 (the 2021 copyright that came up at the end of the video was the giveaway for me)

I was almost going to award that song three points, but now it will be an automatic zero

Tell us who submitted that so I can Boo them to their face for trying to sneak in such an ancient track Tongue

Votes are in, only heard one of these before

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Spears - 01-01-2023

& we're off !!! 🤩🤗

Nice mix of songs in that Group 👌

Not overly mad about the songs myself (other than the bit of sexiness with Dermo himself) but I'll get thinking on my scoring anyway..

I have to admit. I took everyone on trust and didn't check any dates 🙈

I reckon I've made an educated deduction alright, and to that person I would say Boo... and then I'd probably say Boo again pac

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Irish Aris - 01-01-2023

Points in.
There is a song on this group that I wouldn't mind if it won the whole tournament.

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - jp liz v1 - 01-01-2023

Group A points in

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Necro - 02-01-2023

Points in. Very mixed bag so much so I'd actually vote for the 2020 song over two of those, one which made my ears bleed

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Hello 2D Person Below - 02-01-2023

One 5 pointer and four zeroes.

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Kol - 02-01-2023

Soapy wants to boo 1 player, I would like to boo all 5

What the hell has happened to music

Points are in, not that they deserve any

🤨..

One of the songs must have been your own submission so 🤣

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - E.N. - 02-01-2023

Shoutout to @Butty Brennan, @DejaBoo and @Homer J. Fong

You all submitted songs but haven't voted.
It's not a hard deadline though, if you don't see this until coming days I can take late votes, as long as they're in before the groups finish

Same is true for anyone else who wants to join in the fun, you don't have to have submitted a song to vote

It's currently very close as well

sorry about that, i didnt know - just remove it from competition, thanks.
consider me boo'd

edit: .....and my dumb chromebook is at it again, tends to freeze up when listening to vids... my silly votes would be unfair from only hearing snippets of your amazing songs... best if I just bow out altogether, but enjoy the game, hope to be able to hear the final winning song (if possible) Smile

cheers

Ah sure, easy enough mistake, don't worry about that. I'll leave it in and people can account for that, or not, when voting. It's only a game, right?*

* I will not be saying that after tallying all the votes and proving democracy doesn't work!

Hahahaha!!
No it wasn't my submission, mine I don't think it will make it out of the group

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Spears - 02-01-2023

I vote to keep Deja's song inski 😊 🗳

TBF, the music video does say it was within the last year.
Now obviously, as it's been pointed out, the song was released before the actual video was uploaded.

I wouldn't have copped that myself 🙈
I never research anything about any of the songs I listen too 👩‍🦯

It's good thst it's been pointed out though, no harm.

Will I dbl check my own submissions in future, probably not lol 🐷

Don't worry Deja, you're not missing much.

Just score them all zero so you have a chance at winning 😉 🤣

I'm genuienly glad it wasn't you, despite our failure to regularly see eye to eye, I respect how seriously you take music and would have been devastatingly disappointed were it you who had decided to make a mockery of this tournament by nominating that drivel

Whoever actually nominated should probably never admit it, such a grave crime it is, but they should certainly be embarrassed for not only themselves, but also their family for having the indignity of being related to the type of monster who would nominate such a "song"

That's like asking someone if they'd prefer death by 1000 papercuts or by being repeatedly kicked in the groin 1000 times

There's no "better", just two different forms of equally horrific torture

Liked today's selection

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - davetherave - 03-01-2023

Will we be finding out peoples entries out the end? Or does that go against the spirit of the competition :/

Has anyone just given everything 3 points because they don't want anyone to lose and feel bad?? Big Grin

I was planning on revealing who nominated each song

Unless anyone asks me not to after it receives a torrent of abuse 🤣

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick probably given top points to Georgie @ShaneU Big Grin

No rush at all. But still from hear from...

@Spears
@Irish Aris
@Hello 2D Person Below

...who all voted for group A.

And @Homer J. Fong, you're still welcome to catch up on group A and B if you want

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Spears - 04-01-2023

Oops, sorry E.N completely forgot to put my vote through yesterday. 🦧

I'll fire a quick one through now.

& I'm gonna try stick with the scoring of 5,4,3,2,1 from now on too 😊

RE: FOG's Song Of The Year 2022 - Spears - 04-01-2023

Just quickly will say too that I really don't like the Taylor Swift song. Something doesn't work with that song.

It's like listening to a not great song & an annoying ring tone at the same time.

Like I don't know which part to focus on.

It kinda gives me a headache, & makes me feel odd 😣.
