The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show

[RSOAPS]

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  - Billy Strings - I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water
Original Artist: Stonewall Jackson

@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  - Antisober14 - When The man Comes Around
Original Artist: Johnny Cash

@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  - Schmitty Music - Gods Country
Original Artist: Blake Shelton

@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... 

@lorcand1990  - Gypsy Kings - Hotel California
Original Artist: The Eagles

@lorcand1990 enjoy the spin Gypsy Kings put on it, decent cover, nothing much more to add than that.

@E.N.  - White Stripes - Jolene
Original Artist: Dolly Parton

@E.N. solid cover of possibly the GREATEST Country song ever written, what more could one ask for?

@jp liz v1  - Little Big Town - Independence day
Original Artist: Martina McBride

@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  - The Petersens - Country Roads
Original Artist: John Denver

@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  - Lady Antebellum - You're Still The One
Original Artist: Shania Twain

@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...  

@Declan A Walsh  - Elbow - Witchita Lineman
Original Artist: Glen Campbell

@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)
