The FOG Factor - Series 3 - Live Show

[Jluv]

If there is a tie, I take the votes from the previous night, if they are tied, I go back another night until I get a break

I post the table every night for transperancy so it should be easy to see.

Oooops I had it all wrong then. I get it now though ( the first round thing)

[Hello 2D Person Below]

Wasn't too fond of either but I've no clue how Butty survived that.

[Jluv]

Gwan @Butty Brennan AGAIN!!!

[DejaBoo]

Butty can't lose! ..... now is the time to buy a lotto ticket BB

[jp liz v1]

A tough battle tonight as both are good but @Butty Brennan just edges it for me to save as I feel @ShaneU been sampled, heard parts in other tracks maybe I'm way off and wrong so sorry @ShaneU but saving @Butty Brennan

It hasn't been sampled. What is Butty paying you I'll double it

I cannot be bought bribed 

[RSOAPS]

As much as we wind each other up, I was backing @ShaneU for the overall win here. Sorry to see you booted.

[Spears]

Sorry to see you go @ShaneU Your own song was a brilliant tune. 

Just so happened that a couple of weirdo's prepared @Butty Brennan's song 
There were so many layers to that song that made it interesting to me. 

It was relaxing in parts, enchanting in other parts (1.41 & 3.17) had Dark lyrics, & was a mind fuck lol.
 
It was funny to me because I'm intrigued what was going through the mind of whoever wrote it. Or what the purpose of the song was. 
I've listened to it easily 10 times & I think it's brilliant. Very unique.

Thank Kol. I'm sure you've explained it before but it wasn't registering with me. 

The above makes it clear now.

[Butty Brennan]

Butty the Kid rides again.

I could never understand how the votes worked. I just waited until I was booted to realise I wasn't doing well 

Basic Addition... Count the Thanks... 

OK, time for a very sad admission...
I haven't figured how to see the Thanks on a post 🫣

[Irish Aris]

Mmm... tough crowd...
The most interesting of the 4 songs gets eliminated.
Great selection @ShaneU

They should be there by default. What Theme are you using? The site was designed with Simplicity Dark in mind as that suited the majority, so if you're on a Theme other than that (there are a few themes besides that by default, but were never configured to the site) you're not getting the full experience.

It was decided very early on by those of us who were involved in the creation of the site that only the one theme would be designed since it was a lot of work and been done for free by Neo (actually not even free, as there is a fee for hosting the site, which tusk has kindly paid for until now) and if anyone wanted to use a theme outside of that, they wouldn't get all the benefits - that was announced at the inception of FoG, but maybe its something we should remind people of every so often.

Either that, or you unchecked some box in your User CP settings at some point that hides the Thanks from you.

TLDR ; if you're not using the Simplicity Dark Theme (can be easily changed in settings) you're not seeing the site and everything it has to offer correctly

[Irish Aris]

Some great songs again today
In competition I'm not a fan of Amy McDonald in general, so no vote for this and votes for the other two.

In the lounge, top marks for @ShaneU - I love Marina of that period!!!
From the songs I didn't know, @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick very predictably with the most interesting choice!!
And, to my surprise, I really enjoyed @Jluv 's selection

[Sephiroth_Dude]

try..
user cp up top, edit options, turn off display posts in classic mode.

[ShaneU]

If Butty survives this I think an external audit of the judging panel is required

[Neowise]

[ShaneU]

RSOAPS and Neo my favourites today

off topic post

fwiw, i have no problem looking after the issues anybody reports with the bright theme.
they are in the minority, but its also a neat theme and i'll fix any issues reported with it.


Even if it is only 7 of ye

[Hello 2D Person Below]

Did Butty get the songs/criteria mixed up? Public Enemy as a 21st century entry...ambitious, I'll give you that.

Had never heard of Japanese Breakfast but really like it. And Amy MacDonald could sing the Chinese menu and she'd have my vote - class.

It hasn't been sampled. What is Butty paying you I'll double it

Are you sure it was never sampled? I must be mixing it up with another song

[ShaneU]

No it hasn't. It's been covered plenty of times. Doesn't matter anyway you already voted me off on a hunch!

erm, no he didn't.  Released in 2020. Them OGs are still able to mop the floor with modern rappers.

[Declan A Walsh]

I have to say that overall I was underwhelmed by the selection!   The standout for me was by @Wichita Lineman, which is good because he is one of the remaining entrants. I never heard that song before (or artiste for that matter)  but I really liked it.

[Jluv]

Are ye all excited for the special announcement??😁
Now I'm not supposed to discuss this with ye but @Kol was so impressed with my entries that he reckons I deserve to be in the final. Pretend ye are surprised when he announces it 😜😜

[Kol]

The votes have been counted

Congratulation @Sephiroth_Dude you are this series first finalist

[Kol]

@Butty Brennan  @Wichita Lineman



Butty Brennan - Public Enemy - State Of The Union



Wichita Lineman - Amy Macdonald - Mr Rock & Roll

[Kol]

Over to our judges

@Necro @nothing @jp liz v1

Please tell us who you would like to send home and your reason why

[nothing]

Have to send home @Butty Brennan as I didn't enjoy his choice at all.

@Wichita Lineman had the best of the 3 finalists for me!
