The FOG Factor - Live show

[ShaneU]

Also the Alanis Morrissette song clearly not live?

Yeah it is likely produced somewhat, you can judge the song arrangement. Don't speak is also just a vocal cover though I'm sure it is live.

hopefully everyone is okay with them, I was okay to let them pass.

She plays all the instruments and backing vocals Unless she has Doctor Manhattan powers I can safely say it's not live I'm not asking it to be removed just pointing it out

That was the hardest selection so far, I think there were six that I wanted to vote for, had to narrow it down to half the field

[jp liz v1]

I voted all as I liked all is that allowed @Kol

[DejaBoo]

They are all great, really like @DejaBoo  I'm discovering new talent and versions

Thanks liz  very kind.  This  was my  original submission.

That's beautiful, he has a lovely tender voice.

He can sing to me any time!

First day that I voted for my song, I think Amos' performance is really emotional, top top notch.

Also I vote for Mam for the win. I saw this PSB tour live in Dublin and they were absolutely fantastic!!

It wasn't this tour, but I saw them in 2009 (I think) and they were unreal! Love a bit of PSB. As covers go, their version of Streets Have No Name/Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You is inspired

Afraid I didn't love Tori there
On paper it's perfect, Tori Amos is brilliant, the song is brilliant and the style could work but the arrangement seemed a little off to me. Sorry

Another great selection. I really liked the Chet Faker one @jp liz v1

Agreed, liked that a lot

You're the only one to love mine  My three weakest entries all came in the first three rounds (which is probably a good thing) the next five are all top notch imo. Looks like I could be facing the music tonight, judges have mercy

Don't you mind them Shane - that was the best of this round! Loved it, great to hear a new twist on old songs like that. That's the sort of act I'd love to catch at a festival, drunk in a field at 3pm

Was the same for me with that song too.

Couldn't put it into words though myself, just felt a bit weird to me.

I didn't know what to make of Shane's song. I didn't know if it were a joke or a real performance lol.
Sounded fun and upbeat but I laughed at it overall. When your man went to the audience, ah it was cringe. Think that's when I had enough, lol sorry Shane x


Also really liked Aaron's song. The lead fella done a great job. 

The only reason I didn't vote for it was because I found it funny with them all stuffed into the kitchen corner lol.

The rest of the band were very robotic too but when they did move, it all looked very awkward. Think your man needs to ditch the family (even though they sounded great) and go seek his fame as a solo act.

Anyway, I think I was just in an overcritical mood earlier. Got a bit of a laugh out of some of the songs anyway lol

Aaron and Shane, it's time to FACE THE MUSIC

Over to the judges

AARON - Sonata - I'd Do Anything For Love



SHANE - The Baseballs - Bitch

[RSOAPS]

Tougher decision than I thought here...

Aaron - I'd Do Anything For Love bores me, but as a cover for a song I'm not mad about, this was decent enough, and your entries in the first 2 rounds were very strong, so I had high hopes to see you go far in the competition to the point I'm wondering if past performances are enough for me to save you here.

Shane - On my first listen today, your entry didn't particularly stand out, but when I listened through all the songs again, I really enjoyed it, and was in the Top Half of this rounds entrants for me, so if I just go by the two songs in front of me now you're sitting pretty, however if I take past performances into account as well, its a much closer battle between yourself and Aaron.

With all that said, here's my verdict...

My Vote Is To Send HomeShow Content

AARON with Sonata - I'd Do Anything For Love

[aaronjennings]

Please sir, can I have some more (time to prove myself worthy)?

[RSOAPS]

And for my favourite performance of the night...

My #1 Of The RoundShow Content

ARIS with Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit

[ShaneU]

Please sir, can I have some more (time to prove myself worthy)?

No 

[nothing]

Hmmm, very tough. I enjoyed both. I think I have to go with Aaron!

[ShaneU]

The shame of going out to a Meatloaf song

Two out of three ain't bad......

[aaronjennings]

I was tempted to appeal to the judges with a classic X-Factor sob story, but couldn't be bothered

Good luck to the remaining competitors, looking forward to seeing what the future entries hold

[ShaneU]

Leg end still has to vote no? I thought it was tied

[Kol]

After an exceptional start, leaving tonight is @aaronjennings Thanks you for playing.

It seems the judges wouldn't do anything for love so let's hear that loosing song one last time.

[Kol]

Tonight's highest scoring song was Dont Speak by Neo, well done.

[Kol]

Thanks everyone for voting, tomorrow we go back a little further, it's 80s Classics week.

See you then.

[Leg End Reject]

I'd have gone for Shane, I love the original version. It should be mean, aggressive and well, bitchy, not a boppy 50s version.

But ignore me, no one else agrees with me.

[Spears]

Tonight's highest scoring song was Torn by Neo Witchy, well done.

Erm cough's, I fixed your post there Kol

My favourite song so I wouldn't have mistaken who submitted it 

Liz's song was a close second for me..


Edit: Oops this was Witchy's submission, but not the actual winner it seems

[Wichita Lineman]

Tonight's highest scoring song was Torn by Neo, well done.

It was 'Dont Speak' for Neo that won. I submitted 'Torn'.

[ShaneU]

Why cover a song to have it sound the same? None of my entries are like the original versions

[Spears]

I love that Meatloaf song*  

What is wrong with all your cold hearts!


*I think its his only song I know too lol

[RSOAPS]

Sorry to see you go Aaron, always a shame to lose anyone, and if there's ever a 2nd Season of The FOG Factor with returning contestants, probably best to avoid Meatloaf covers next time around...

[Neowise]

hmm, i didn't enter torn. i entered Rob Lundgren's cover of no doubts, dont speak.

edit: i see it's been resolved before i could tyoe this up.

[Kol]

Sorry, Dont Speak by Neo was tonights highest scoring song, post updated.

Live tv..heh

[Spears]

Thanks everyone for voting, tomorrow we go back a little further, it's 80s Classics week.

See you then.

I submitted a cover of my(one of many) all time favourite songs ever, for tomorrow!  

[E.N.]

Why cover a song to have it sound the same? None of my entries are like the original versions

And, for the love of good music, Natalie Imbruglia was not the original of Torn!
You should know Kol, I entered this into your walrus...

[Spears]

The girl has a great voice in the original, but Natalie Imbruglia's version is better I think..

[Wichita Lineman]

So then mine was a cover version of a cover version and that can only be good right?

[Leg End Reject]

I see.

I shall remember this impudence should you find yourself in the vote off again.

I thought this might have been mentioned. That Endasawp version is shyte, I only recognise the Natelia version which is by far the ultimate version.

You more than anyone should know that @E.N., I will quote my review from last year

Ednaswap - Torn

Heard the artist: No
Heard the song: No

My rating: ★★☆☆☆




Review

Again, a song I knew was covered but not sure if I heard this version. It is not the original version of the song but the first English version. Difficult to review this without comparing it to the Natalie version which I love. I hate the guitar sound in this song. The vocal key changes in the cover are not all here which is also kind of distracting. If this was the only version of this song I definitely would not be a fan of it. I just don’t like the sound from this band. I gave this an average rating because I like the song but not this version.

[E.N.]

Well @Kol , I'm sure I informed you at the time that you were wrong, but some people never learn

[Kol]

Round 4 theme is 80s classics
