...Dolly Parton is a good example of a crossover singer, appealing to both country music and pop music fans. So think of songs that might appeal to fans of different music genre.

SOAPY taught me how to find music online (I know that sounds lame, but I am lame   so!), by going into see an individual  artists wiki discography and locating which charts each single was  listed on. That is how I found my crossover song, some songs were listed in two charts at the same time, viola (thanks Rache!)

   ...Country pop crossover is a good example and what made me think of this category....
 

  ...'n don't forget about the Country Rap crossover classics.... also known as: CR-AP.

It was my good deed for the week

Where we stand and a quick update

All players have nominated bar a few

Jluv and Tuariel still to pick and Spears has partially picked. No rush folks, I didnt expect to gets so far this quick

The reserved place looks like it will not be taken so in case no additional categories will be added.

Another point that has been raised, regarding the decade categories, someone has nominated a song which fits the decade but is a recent cover, now I'm willing to accept if it is ok with everyone. Everyone is still free to make changes also. For the genre categories, I would say the opposite is valid, the rendition should fit the category rather even if the original song doesn't, that's if you go with covers or live versions. TBF, this has only affected one player so far and maybe I should have made it more clear in the PMs. Let me know if you have any issues with this

[Wichita Lineman]

I'm ok with above Kol anyway. Even if we picked what we thought was a song from lets say the 80's we may not have have known it's actually a song by someone else from the '70s originally. Particularly if it was a massive hit the 2nd or 3rd time around and a miss the 1st time.

You are either admitting your guilt or trying to pin it on Hilda.

It was me, wasn't it?!

Just like last time, I didnae think to check dates, correct artists or vids (in my genre research), given the haste to listen before chromey freezes up - but my lack of music knowledge may be the major culprit! Sorry guys!

Just let me know kols and I shall fix my mistake.

[DejaBoo]

ok so I may have located a few  of ^ those errors in my list (before chromey froze) ...and sent onto kol, what appear to be original old record recording vids (but  don't rightly know) --- if those didn't  fully address the issue, just let me know kols.

...and cheers all!  Sorry  to be so totally musically clueless about, well - most eras and genres !   



...I really must exclude myself from musical games in the future, it's not fair to anyone!

[Kol]

Wasn't you @DejaBoo all your picks are fine. No change needed in any case, everyone is fine with the format

The Fog Factor - You Decide

Season 4 starting soon if we get enough players

A few changes from the previous games including

Round by round basis, you will only need to pick one song at a time. This will mean though that you will need to be around for as long as you are in the game to pick more
Players pick the categories. The freestyle category will stay, players pick a category each at the start and they will be randed to decide which order they will be in. Very obscure categories will be vetoed.
Buy a vote. You can earn extra votes by topping weekly voting counts (top your own category to earn more). These votes can then be used during the game to maybe save yourself from face the music or top another week to block a rival. Votes cannot be used in face the music, only judges votes count here

So, please sign up here as a player or judge and hopefully we get enough to run a game

[nothing]
