The FOG Factor - Series 4 - Live Show

@E.N.  Set It Off - "Win Win" feat. Scene Queen

[Kol]

Sounds from the lounge

@Irish Aris  The Summer Set - Lightning In A Bottle




@Jluv  Only Rivals - Sing

[E.N.]

Thanks for the early post Kol, I'm on the bus to the airport, so perfect timing

Close round this time, Spears and Aaron taking points from me. Elliot Minor was my favourite, though State Champs was a lot of fun.

Shane was just behind, I enjoyed it but found I was ok when it finished

Didn't like that Avril song, and I do generally like her. The chorus lyrics were just a bit clunky, spoiled it for me

And I didn't even listen to Sephi's, no votes for Green Day for obviousness

I had Scene Queen lined up pre-tournament as I just discovered her. She's awesome, great fun. Apparently her solo stuff is "Bimbocore" though, think Aqua meets Marilyn Manson, so I went for this collaboration to fit the brief. I think it's a great song, easily the song of the round, right?
Only a few weeks old too, bonus points for that, yeah?

Edit: didn't love Aris' I'm afraid, just the singer's voice for me, something about jars new. jluv's was decent, would have just fallen short of a vote for me, though

Glad to hear you're ok after listening to my song 


"Play it Safe Seph" is at it again I see

[Irish Aris]

Not a big fan of pop punk in general, just a few songs here and there, so only voted for the couple of songs that really caught my attention.

[aaronjennings]

Strong selection overall

Shane definitely had my favourite song of the round

I really wanted to like Liz's. The problem with Avril is that all her best songs are too well-known, and all her other songs are... well, not that great, unfortunately. On the bright side, at least it wasn't Hello Kitty

[RSOAPS]

Oof, gonna be a tough round for me in terms of Facing The Music, because I like all songs here, and will struggle to separate them in order to vote someone out tonight.

Will really have to think hard this afternoon about what criteria I'll use, only 2 of the 7 in contention are new to me (so high chance neither of the Bottom 2 will be songs that were new to me), and I think all songs fit the genre, and genuinely like them all pretty much equally, so I have little to go on when it comes to making a decision.

[Declan A Walsh]

I have not been following all the rounds closely as I was busy but I was not keen on most of the rounds anyway. I kind of liked the prog rock round. I liked two from this round, one of which (Basket Case - Green Day) was the only one I had heard before.

[jp liz v1]

I wanted to pick a newer lesser known Avril song which failed on me should have gone for My Happy Ending which I love by her

I enjoyed @E.N. and @aaronjennings the most

[Jluv]

@jp liz v1 I really would have liked to give a vote but I also like some of Avril just that song didn't do it for me😔
Appreciate what you tried to do though.
Really liked @Spears @aaronjennings @ShaneU
When the categories have been announced I've been 🤔😱 each time 😁

"Play it Safe Seph" is at it again I see

Ohhh look at this! the boyo''s teaming up to try and get rid of Sephi  eh !  well boys you'll have to try harder than that I'm afraid 


I only liked two today, shane the backstabber's one and Spears.

[Spears]

That was a fun round..not a style of music I normally gravitate towards, other than Avril Lavigne who I do listen to. Really good songs from all - LL included.




Good luck to the judges 

[Kol]

Liz and EN are currently facing the music. Extra voting time, see you back at 9pm

Aaron (2), Shane, Seph, and Spears have extra votes

[aaronjennings]

Green Day deserve to be in the bottom two, so I'm tempted, tbh...

But no, I will not use any of my extra votes

[ShaneU]

Liz and EN are currently facing the music. Extra voting time, see you back at 9pm

Do I not have two votes now?

Voting isnt finished yet for this round. I know that makes winning the votes on the last round irrelevant

[Kol]

@jp liz v1  @E.N.



@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick @nothing @Kol please tell us who you would like to send home and your reason why

[RSOAPS]

As much as I don't want to vote anyone out on the back of this round, its the job that has been thrust upon me... 

I really like both of these songs, so its difficult to separate.

@jp liz v1 I'm a big fan of Bite Me, I know it very well and play it often, but once again @E.N. has probably delivered my favourite song of the entire round and not only is Win Win a great discovery of a song, the artists are new to me too, so will be checking both of them out more (especially Scene Queen as I've actually really gotten into "Bimbocore" as a genre recently) and having something new and shiny to listen to works very much in its favour here

For those reasons, my vote is to send Liz home tonight

[Kol]

Avril has much better songs, anything from her first 3 albums would have took this round for me. I'm not even familar with this one. ENs song just didnt work for me. Some elements of it were fine but overall I just didnt like it much.
I think the correct 2 are facing the music tonight.
Even an average Avril songs wins here, unfortunately I will be sending @E.N. home tonight

[Kol]

With 10 votes each, @ShaneU  Pale Waves - Jealousy and @aaronjennings  Elliot Minor - Parallel Worlds are tonights highest voted songs and get an extra vote each

[Kol]

While we wait for @nothing  to cast judgement, it's Thursday, the theme for the next round is  instrumental

Please have your nominations in by Saturday morning

[Spears]

As previously discovered: Do not Enter any "man with guitar" songs Spears  

[Spears]

@Kol Do they have to be live playing of instruments?



Edit: nevermind, live song on its way to you now

[nothing]

Sorry @jp liz v1 but my vote is for you, I really didn't like that Avril number.

@E.N. you must be a cat!

[RSOAPS]

Hard luck @jp liz v1, hate seeing anyone go out on that particular round. Hope you continue to play along from the LL

Next round will be very interesting I think with the Instrumentals

[jp liz v1]

I've enjoyed my time and I really liked @E.N.  song choice, now goodbye and legends lounge here I come 

[jp liz v1]

Liz and EN are currently facing the music. Extra voting time, see you back at 9pm

Do I not have two votes now?

@ShaneU you saving up for Pink category round

[aaronjennings]

Unlucky Liz, it was a risky choice, and you're unlucky that it didn't pay off

[ShaneU]

Do I not have two votes now?

@ShaneU you saving up for Pink category round

Haha I actually like her new song

[Kol]

Thanks for playing @jp liz v1 I enjoyed your song selections and hope fully will continue to from the lounge.

[Jluv]

Hard luck @jp liz v1 . Love the Legends lounge title😁 Drinks at 8?

[Necro]

EN has more lives than a cat

[Irish Aris]

EN has more lives than a cat

Hahaha!!
I would argue that EN shouldn't have been at the bottom in the last couple of rounds.

[Spears]

Sorry to see you go @jp liz v1 I liked your entry anyway

[Spears]

So apparently I misunderstood the category.

Not happy with this round in the slightest. Doubt I have a single instrument only song. I actually don't like songs without lyrics.

😣

[E.N.]

Missed all the excitement last night at I'm away.
Sorry Lizzy!

Another day, another playoff survived. I'm like a bad smell that won't go away

[E.N.]

Instrumentals is an annoying round for me as I love post rock, but most of what I listen to needs a long time so I know it won't work here

Also, annoyingly, Sigur Rós released a new album today which I'm sure will be magnificent, but I won't have time to listen to it before tomorrow morning

So I'll have to fall back on an old favourite, I think

[E.N.]

...will be checking both of them out more (especially Scene Queen as I've actually really gotten into "Bimbocore" as a genre recently)

Scene Queen is great 🙂

I almost submitted Pretty in Pink for this round but it wouldn't really have fit the brief. She was one of two artists that are new to me that I was hoping to enter, still hoping a suitable round comes up for the other, even though I have no idea what that round could be 🤣

I heard a rumour am making up a rumour that the round after Instrumental is Bimbocore...

Brilliant! I then need the following round to be grime-rap/punk-rock crossover

Should have submitted it myself
