The FOG Factor - Series 2 - Live Show

[Leg End Reject]

Well, I won't subject yee to the gory details of what went on in the Lounge last night but needless to say...

Could yee stop wrecking the gaff every night please. Poor Wichita works his fingers to the bone to keep it nice.
Losers Lounge started off like the Brady Bunch and ended up like the Purge.
But some good news at last: Kol has appointed our latest addition Sephiroth Dude to be our resident CRO- conflict resolution officer, his role will be to prevent these violent flare ups before they happen. Good luck Sephi, may I suggest that you focus your attention on any Lounge members whose name starts with an L.

Poor Lorcan has promised to behave.

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Well played Seph and welcome to the losers lounge! Feck it..bring the cats if it makes you feel better..

...cheers to those who absolutely went for it with some of their unique choices, even if they didn't win over the general public, I appreciated seeing and hearing the songs that were a bit "different"

And we still haven't got to my didgeridoo

Lost track of this the last couple of days. Got covid, which has been a bit rough but I'm on the mend again now hopefully. Problem was my mum was visiting and got it too, luckily she's holding it at bay though. But the two of us having it in a small house with my wife and kids wasn't going to work so we've bailed to an airbnb for a few days. Amongst all the chaos of getting that all sorted I've not been able to listen to these, hoping to get back into it tomorrow

Oh oh..this I have not signed up for...I may not be a celebrity but get me the hell out of that 😅

[RSOAPS]

Someone should really tell the eliminated contestants that this isn't Big Brother and they don't have to live together... I feel bad for whichever poor bastard's house they're all squatting in...

[RSOAPS]

And we still haven't got to my didgeridoo

If this is in reference to what I think its in reference to, its amazing...

Is it possibly like a baker's version of the infamous 2nd song of the '90s? (if its not the cover I'm thinking of, this coded message is gonna go right over your head like a big blurry gorilla)

We'll have to wait and see, my memory of what I entered is a bit of a haze. No haze isn't the word...

And yes, it's amazing. It did take me a couple of listens to fully appreciate it, but now I love it!

I see what you did there... nice... I look forward to hearing it in the confines of the tournament, even though I've listened to it dozens of times.

[Leg End Reject]

I hope you feel better soon E.N., you poor thing, you're talking in riddles.

Soapy obviously has Covid too.

[Wichita Lineman]

I enjoyed a few of them today. This will be a brutal elimination later tonight! 

Unlike some of the other contributors I love The Beatles and ergo I love Beatles covers (well some of them anyway) so there was a clear winner today and once again @DejaBoo knocks it out of the proverbial ball park with - 

AnnenMayKantereit - Let It Be
Original Artist: The Beatles

I recently discovered these on youtube and they have some fantastic stuff. What a voice. 

With the heavy cleaning schedule in the lounge I have to put our picks on in the background and apart from my own Natalie Joly / You're So Vain pick I liked - 

@Butty Brennan  - Tina Turner - Disco Inferno
Original Artist: The Trammps
and
@Declan A Walsh  - Nirvana - Man Who Sold the World

Original Artist: David Bowie

By the way Mrs. Wichi didnt like my pick this round, she said it was too like the Carly Simon original and she may have mentioned I was distracted by the singer rather than the performance. She knows me so well. 



Now where did i put that mop.........


Original Artist: The Beatles

[lorcand1990]

My initial reaction to this round from what's left in the comp



The only one I liked on first listening was @aaronjennings, really nice cover, love that style of singing. Easily my fav of the round

The contrast of voices between @DejaBoo and @ari101 one after another was very interesting, completely different ends of the spectrum however I didn't really like either 

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick you get credit for cuteness factor but that's about it

Maybe I'm being too harsh overall so I'll have another listen later & see if I change my mind

From the lounge I enjoyed @Declan A Walsh, can't go wrong with that cover & also @E.N.

Jesus @Wichita Lineman  what are you doing, I'm trying to get some work done, stop distracting me & now I have to play your song on repeat for the day   It's actually a really nice song too so you would have definitely got a vote from me!

[lorcand1990]

Oh I almost forgot @Spears

You nearly had a good song there but Jessie J ruined it for me with all her gesticulating like a pigeon on crack

[Leg End Reject]

I liked Soapy's and Aaron's today, great covers of great songs.


I liked a lot from the losers lounge today - Declan, Jluv, Lorcan, Wichi and E.N.

@Wichita Lineman, get your marigolds and mop! I had initially submitted a cover of You're So Vain and had to quickly resubmit so I'll going to ply everyone with vodka and we're going to destroy the lounge.

[Wichita Lineman]

@Leg End Reject after the mess you left yesterday it will take more than a mop......

[RSOAPS]

Keeping the notes short and sweet today. Standouts for me are...

@Spears  - Jessie J - Rock With You
Original Artist: Michael Jackson

@Spears I like it, it works better than I expected it to.

@aaronjennings  - Amy MacDonald - Born To Run
Original Artist: Bruce Springstein

@aaronjennings No secret I'm not overly keen on Springsteen, but always happy to hear some Amy McDonald and this is a far superior cover to the original. My fave of the day.

@Declan A Walsh  - Nirvana - Man Who Sold the World
Original Artist: David Bowie

@Declan A Walsh I've always loved this cover. Its probably my actual favourite of the day, but because of overfamiliarity, I'll leave that moniker to aaron on this occasion.

@lorcand1990  - Pearl Jam & Jack Johnson - Imagine
Original Artist: John Lennon

@lorcand1990 Solid cover, think the voices compliment each othee well, which elevates the song.

@Wichita Lineman  - Natalie Joly - You're So Vain
Original Artist: Carly Simon

@Wichita Lineman Standard enough cover, but I like the vocals, they really suit the song.

@E.N.  - Charles Bradley - Changes
Original Artist: Black Sabbath

@E.N. Good choice. Big fan of Charles Bradley... RIP

[aaronjennings]

Man, this is getting tougher the deeper we go

Lorcan from the LL had the best song of the round for me, and Rachel the best of the surviving competitors

[nothing]

Ok, no one on my top tier today

Enjoyed it but wouldn't seek it out
Deja, RSOAPS

Not my cup of tea
Ari, Spears, aaron

[Necro]

Late listening today as was in office

Top two for me

RSOAPS - class song, cover is pretty damn good.

Spears - despite the hand waving which someone else said was annoying and I agree, really liked it.

Aaron's is good too but I'm sticking with my top two.

[jp liz v1]

[Jluv]

Top 3 today
Rsoaps
Spears
Aaron

Thought the losers lounge was seriously strong today.

[ari101]

Sounds like my choice is not everyone cuppa tea, someone have the kettle on in the lounge because I'm thinking I'll be needing a cuppa later 😁

[lorcand1990]

Don't worry,  all are welcome in the lounge. You just can't leave

[Wichita Lineman]

Just finished getting a little spot ready for the new entrant to the Losers Lounge.

[Kol]

Votes have been counted

@DejaBoo and @ari101



Deja  - AnnenMayKantereit - Let It Be



ari  - Adam Lambert - Tracks of My Tears



Over to our judges @Necro @nothing @ShaneU

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

[Kol]

With 11 votes todays top act is @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick  Soapys 2nd times as top act and possibly my favourite cover in the contest, well done.

[Necro]

This isn't easy because at times both Deja and Ari have entered some of my favourite tracks of the contest so far.

But one bad week and one of you has to go unfortunately....

I have to send Deja home. I really don't like Beatles covers and this was pretty much my worst nightmare as I don't even like the original Let It Be
