RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Irish Aris - 01-03-2023 Only catching up now for all last week. Some great songs in the previous round. To my huge surprise the one song that I really enjoyed was Tyler Habbard's: country would normally not be in my soundboard, but this was very feel good!!

Fionn - Hold Off RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Kol - 02-03-2023 That was awesome, the song was ok also RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 02-03-2023 Can't tell if you're both being gross or not, but either way I'm going to ask people not to be gross before anyone crosses any lines, because if this thread descends into one of those sex pest threads some of you around here have been so obsessed with lately, I may have to consider putting a stop to the rest of the reveal This thread is about music, its cool to appreciate music videos, but be tasteful about it. For a variety of incredibly valid reasons not everyone is comfortable with threads descending into sexually repressed teenage hormonal drivel, and I won't continue hosting a game if it alienates people who don't feel comfortable following along with those sort of antics RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Declan A Walsh - 02-03-2023 (02-03-2023, 09:23 AM)Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick Wrote: Only a person who is dead inside could dislike this song, but since most of you clearly are dead inside I'm not expecting many of you to appreciate the joy factor on this one... I never heard of this duo before. I must be dead inside as the song did not do much for me I am afraid! RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - E.N. - 02-03-2023 Well, it's not a Nice Weather For Ducks level of joyfulness Had my feet tapping, but I wouldn't be rushing to hear more. Big bang of a particular Taylor Swift song in the bridge section, but I can't place it. That said, it's better than anything Taylor Swift has done since... Blank Space, probably? I hope you don't only want joyful songs in this round 🙈 RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 02-03-2023 (02-03-2023, 11:33 AM)E.N.

The beginning reminded me a bit of heartbeats by the knife. RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Irish Aris - 02-03-2023 yeah, definitely catchy and a feel-good factor in it, just not a song that would make me explore Fionn any further. By the way: I haven't known any of the songs that you posted the last week or so RSOAPS - and in a few instances I have never heard of the artist either RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Hello 2D Person Below - 02-03-2023 @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick glad you enjoyed Nilufer Yanya. I ended up at one of her shows in London back in late 2019, totally unplanned but my friend was offered tickets and we were twiddling our thumbs for the evening so we went. She was brilliant. RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 03-03-2023 Time for something a bit heavier I think to kickstart the weekend, so for today's selection we have... Nova Twins - Antagonist RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Declan A Walsh - 03-03-2023 @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick - I have to say that I quite like this one. Certainly blows the cobwebs! As per usual with your selections, I never heard of the act or the song before.

RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 04-03-2023 Since I went to see them last night, which is the 4th time I've seen them live since July, it feels only right to give their latest single a plug as my selection today CARRON - Right Time RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Declan A Walsh - 04-03-2023 Yet again, a new name for me, and indeed the song. It’s okay. No strong feelings one way or the other about it, RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - E.N. - 04-03-2023 Whilst I didn't love Right Time, there was enough there to listen to a couple more by Carron. Marble Arch was very nice I then got distracted by seeing that Daughter have new music out though RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 05-03-2023 Most of you will have heard me mention Aly & AJ before, I've used some of their songs in various games, and they were my most listened to artist on Spotify in 2022, and this is their latest single, which makes for easy listening on this nice chilled Sunday morning... Aly & AJ - After Hours RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Declan A Walsh - 05-03-2023 Yet again, I never heard of them or the song. It's a pleasant enough tune. RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 Aiming for an 18.30 start for Round 3 reveal this evening, but may start slightly earlier or later depending on what I'm doing around that time One last Soapy Selection for the Female of the Species Girls Only (decided to rename it) Round, and will go with a song from one of my favourite artists IDER - Wu Baby RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Declan A Walsh - 06-03-2023 I never heard of this act before (surprise surprise!) or the song. I'm afraid it does nothing for me.

I'm afraid it does nothing for me. They were posted very recently somewhere, I thought it was in this game, their song 'Mirror" which is very good. This song though is a far cry from that, it is okay at best RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 Okay, lets kick-off the Round 3 Reveal... This round is The Female Of The Species Girls Only ; any song from a female solo artist or female fronted band As much as I loved the other rounds in this game, and as I've kept saying the standard has been so high across the board, this was by far my absolute favourite round of all, and also the hardest to judge as a result Round 3 Roll Call: @aaronjennings @Butty Brennan @Declan A Walsh @DejaBoo @E.N. @Edser @Hello 2D Person Below @Irish Aris @Jluv @jp liz v1 @Kol @Necro @osh @Sawduck @Sephiroth_Dude @ShaneU @Spears @Tigger @Wichita Lineman RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 10th Place with 20 points is Tigger The Distillers - Gypsy Rose Lee Heard It Before: No Review: Getting strong Joan Jett energy from this one, it has a very '70s vibe to it, despite being released in 2000. Love the gravelly tone to the singer's voice. Haven't heard of The Distillers before, but will check out more of their stuff because I really enjoyed this. I thought the first two round were difficult to rank due to high quality, but this round raised the bar even higher, and honestly any of the Top 12 songs in this round could've easily taken the top spot, it was an absolute dogfight to determine where they'd all eventually settle, but very good choice, just got edged out slightly by those above it RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 11th Place with 18 points is jp liz V1 Emily Osment - All The Way Up Heard It Before: No Review: I know a lot of Disney Channel stars went on to have big music careers, so I shouldn't be surprised that Emily Osment is a singer, and yet I am, because even though when I was back in college I usually ended up watching Hannah Montana most mornings while I was having my bowl of cereal before heading in to lecture, I don't have any recollection of Lily ever singing on it, which seems bizarre because she has a really good voice in this. But I guess as Hannah Montana was primarily a showcase for Miley Cyrus, they didn't want to promote the fact that her co-star was a better singer… Yeah, that's right, based on this song alone I think Emily Osment > Miley Cyrus RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 9th Place with 22 points is Sawduck K3 - Feest Heard It Before: No Review: Not going to lie, on first listen I wrote this off as a novelty song you'd get for some sort of Sportsball tournament and I threw it into dead last on my first ranking. It wasn't until the third or fourth listen that it really started to grow on me, I started thinking it was super catchy, and it became a serious contender for me, bounding up into the high ranks. It's so catchy and infectious and the more I listened to it the more I liked it. Considering how strong I think this round is, rising up that many places, is no easy feat. Really strong submission RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 12th Place with 16 points is aaronjennings Talia Mar - Better Heard It Before: No Review: I've only recently become aware of Talia Mar because of the Sweet Lies song she did, which is essentially just a complete rip of off Shanks and Bigfoot's '90s classic Sweet Like Chocolate, but I really enjoy it anyway. It hadn't encouraged me to check out anything more from Talia Mar, but after hearing this one, I'm curious to see what else she has to offer. Really really liked this one, and as I mentioned the Top 12 here were really tough to separate, and it's so close between all 12 of them that this was so near to being #1 in this round, which sounds mad given it's now sitting in 12th, but so little actually separated the Top 12 here for me RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 8th Place with 24 points is Sephiroth_Dude Japanese Breakfast - Be Sweet Heard It Before: No Review: Very fortunate that I decided to listen to all the songs when they were submitted to see if I knew them or not, which was before this appeared in a FOG Factor round. Really loved it right from the very first listen and I did think for awhile it was prime contender for top spot in this round, but quite a few other songs came along and just pipped it to the post, knocking it further back into the rankings, but very very strong entry all the same RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 13th Place with 14 points is Deja Boo Jennifer Nettles - That Girl Heard It Before: No Review: Okay, so I know I really went on about how hard it was to separate the Top 12 in this round, but that's not to say I didn't also love the rest of the songs in this round, because I did, it's a really strong round, in a lot of Walrus rounds from the past this would be an easy Top 3 for me, it's just that I was able to separate it slightly from those above it. Hadn't heard of Jennifer Nettles, but I like her voice and I like the song, even if I feel like I've maybe heard quite a few songs that are very similar to it in the Country Music genre many times before. Really good choice though RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 7th Place with 26 points is Spears 7th Place with 0 points is Spears In This Moment - The In-Between Heard It Before: Yes Review: The good news is I'm a big fan of In This Moment, so I really loved this. The bad news is I'm a big fan of In This Moment, so I also really knew this. At the very start of the first lockdown, I went through a big In This Moment phase, but The In-Between especially was one track I listened to a lot, sometimes on repeat for hours on end, and it made me feel better and almost content about the world falling to hell all around me. Unlucky as I knew the submission, but excellent song nonetheless RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - Kol - 06-03-2023 This will be by far my worst round regardless if Soapy knows it or not RE: RSOAPS presents Walrus: Double or Nothing - THE REVEAL - RSOAPS - 06-03-2023 14th Place with 12 points is Kol Dido - Closer Heard It Before: No Review: I'd be familiar enough with the Life For Rent era of Dido, but I believe (from reading the YouTube comments on this video) that it was a hidden track on that album, and I've never listened to the album in full, so makes sense that I hadn't heard it. I really enjoyed it, and it’s a strong entry for the round, but on repeated listens some of the shine did come off it just a bit, so it failed to rank higher than this unfortunately. Still a really really lovely song, falling victim of possibly the strongest Walrus round in the history of Walrus |
