The FOG Factor

[Kol]

Hey guys, just a reminder, all songs must be LIVE & COVERS, I'm getting promo videos of original songs and I'm pulling my hair out here

If I run this again I will ditch both criteria I think, makes things much easier, however for this one lets stick to the above, we will get there eventually. Again, no big rush, I appreciate it is a bit of work to do with 13 songs.

Thanks everyone for the effort so far

It is harder than I thought, a lot of youtube videos are either older ones filmed on shaky potato phones too far from the stage with terrible sound or sessions type 'live' performances which are done in a studio.

These are fine if there is no post production done on the audio.
I'm no expert I'm just deciding as best I can. There are usually some visual signs in the video if its not live or something writen in the video description.

Oh, so there doesn't need to be an audience present?
I passed over a song because it was done during covid and they were playing in an empty theatre.

Chromey doesn't last long enough to view a music vid, I shall try but if I don't get the submissions to you in time, don't wait on me Kol. Thanks.

Can you manage anything on your phone? Still another week I'd say to get songs in. If its a big hassle though, don't worry about it I'll completely understand.

{kol, just between you and me, I cant even manage to make call on my phone, without going mad... I wouldn't have a clue how to get internet on dat thing... technology is completely lost on me)

I've been offline for a few days but I'll get cracking on my submissions over the next couple of nights.

[Leg End Reject]

I'll try to get to this soon!

[Kol]

Plan on starting this next Monday, or if everyone is in before that we can go earlier. If anyone doesn't think they will get in by then there is always room on the judging panel, I don't want to pressure anyone into completing this.

Hopefully everyone can make it but don't worry if you can't.

[Jluv]

Have to admit I'm really looking forward to this reveal..

[DejaBoo]

Right, working on it directly kol, thanks!
.... and ty to jluv for offering to assist cos of my vid freeze issue!

[jp liz v1]

Well in with new submissions which I hope are a suitable fit for @Kol

[Wichita Lineman]

[ari101]

So 7 down 6 to go...
Do we not pick for our own category then?

[Kol]

You can pick a song for all 13 categories. Freestyle can be like your own category. In any case, I will need 13 songs please

Getting closer, we won't get started till Monday I guess though.

I am SO excited for this game reveal!  ..

You obviously trust your picks more than I do!

No need to worry, you might be kept in as the gimmick act  lol



I actually do like my all of my submissions for this round.

Now whether the judges and the ''audience'' like them is another story  

Either way, I genuinely am so excited for the game

[ari101]

I'm worried Kol will be sending me back to the drawing board when he checks my PM 😅🤣🙈 I got mine in but it was very challenging!

[Spears]

I found it a bit challenging too @ari101. Not only having to choose a song like in a normal walrus, but then with it having to be a ''live'' cover too.

and I usually don't like anything that takes too much time &/or effort. 

But I really enjoyed looking up the songs, and found some surprising finds along the way.


& surprisingly I actually liked the pressure of having to find a cover quickly before anyone else got it 

[Kol]

I'm worried Kol will be sending me back to the drawing board when he checks my PM 😅🤣🙈 I got mine in but it was very challenging!

Back to the drawing board @ari101 


Unfortunately a few duplicates.

Unfortunately a few duplicates.

Thankfully those bounces weren't the hardest categories IMO 😁 I'll send some updates tomorrow!

(P.S. I was already way late before I ever realised getting in early avoided duplicate refusal advantage!)

[Declan A Walsh]

At least one of my nominations was pretty half-hearted because I just wanted to get the thing over the line!

[Wichita Lineman]

[Kol]

Live thread open, game will start on Monday. I will be posting songs which did not make the live finals until then.

[ari101]

Right, round two attempts made, let's see if any of those bounce 😅

[Butty Brennan]

I know what you mean. One of my live versions I wouldn't be mad keen on it but everything I tried to pick for that category some sneaky pete had beaten me to it.

[Spears]

I was lucky in that none of my songs had been chosen by anyone else. 

But in one of the categories, my song is a bit long and I'm not entirely happy with it. 

But I can't find a bloody alternative. And it's a category that I would have thought would have loads to choose from 


It's looking like I might just have to stick with it ..

[Leg End Reject]

Finally in, but iffy about some choices. I haven't had time for proper searching.
