The FOG Factor

[Kol]

   

You have heard of the X factor, now it's time the The FOG Factor

Taking applications now. 

Limit to 12 participants and 5 judges.

PS: You won't have to send in your live karaoke recordings and you can only apply for one position.

If and when quota is filled, I will close signups.

[nothing]

Oooh would love to be a judge!

[Wichita Lineman]

I'm in. Judge or participant but I'm warning you I am not suitable for listening to!

[Necro]

I've pretty much lost my voice since the panto.

Which means I'll make an exceptional participant

[Leg End Reject]

I'm confused, what do participants actually do?

That info will be announced in due course, although as I mentioned in the OP, you will not need to sing for us, though you can if you wish

[Leg End Reject]

I think I'd be better as a judge.

[Neowise]

In.

[Neowise]

Is x factor a general talent competition or just singing?

[Diamonds of Frost]

Wat this???????

[RSOAPS]

I'd like to Judge people, I've been Judging people my whole life, and already have relevant experience as a competition Judge, as you can see below...

[Mam of 4]

In...

[DejaBoo]

Reluctantly in, but suspect I will be voted off quickly!

[Kol]

Singing and stage presence. You're thinking of FOG's got talent, another one I was thinking of running before deciding on this format.

Count Me In for Whatever

[Kol]

Not too much interest in this one, if we can get 10 players we will crack on with it. No rush.

For anyone wondering what is involved,

Contestants will only need to send me up to 10 youtube videos, how much research you put in is up to you (please don't send them to me yet, I will forward you a list on song themes first )
Judges will decide who to send home each round

[jp liz v1]

Can I send videos of my voice doubles and body doubles, so many want to be me 

[Irish Aris]

Thanks for the clarification kol.
I'll play as well.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't commit to anything without knowing what I'm getting into first  ..

I'll give it a bash if i can be a contestant rather than a judge please?


Considering I don't always pay attention to lyrics, and usually haven't even a clue what a song is about, god knows what I'll come up with!

But sure someone needs to get booted out first

We have a game, I will PM the contestants instructions soon and when I get all replies I will set up the game thread. If you would still like to play, shout and we will fit you in up until the game starts. I would preferably like to have an odd number of judges.

[Kol]

PMs sent out.

As I said in them, no rush.

[DejaBoo]

Fun game, hope I did that right, if not let me know. Cheers kol!

[Wichita Lineman]

Enjoyed doing that. Selections are in.

[Spears]

Done and dusted! Really enjoyed that, and looking forward to the reveal.

As usual, I submit not to impress, but songs that I'll enjoy listening to myself on the reveal night 

anything that might be a hit, will just be a nice lil bonus 


Although I think my Motown might not go down too well, because I'm not sure if the original song is known. 
But it's covered by a band I like, and I think it's interesting that it doesn't sound anything 'Motowny', so...

[Spears]

Ok so in true Spears style, I made a bit of a tits up and had to resubmit some songs

My Motown resubmit this time round is probably a better version (it sounds a bit more Motowny) than my original submission. Although I do prefare the original one I sent in..

Hopefully I'm in now with no more hiccups 

[DejaBoo]

I am in the resubmission stage. I hope no one picks me songs cos I know so few of them, lol - and you'll all be getting bad country chunes else!

[Necro]

I sent mine in but I don't *think* I have any resubmissions...

[nothing]

Hmmm I haven't decided yet if I'm going to be cheerful nice judge or brutally honest judge...

[aaronjennings]

I haven't even picked half of the songs needed to submit yet, never mind the dreaded possibility of having to re-submit some

[Necro]

Hmmm I haven't decided yet if I'm going to be cheerful nice judge or brutally honest judge...

Oh brutal honesty please

[nothing]

[Leg End Reject]

Hmmm I haven't decided yet if I'm going to be cheerful nice judge or brutally honest judge...

I'll gladly be the mean judge.

[Kol]

Thanks for the entries so far, still need to go through some of them. I hope you'll understand I need to be strict on the criteria to keep it fair.

In other news, it won't be just the judges you will need to impress 

[Spears]

I am in the resubmission stage.  I hope no one picks me songs cos I know so few of them

I kinda panicked and got mine in as soon as I had free time, becuase I was worried about someone else submitting the same song before me, and then I'd be left struggling to come up with something else

I'm sure if I spent a bit longer I might have came up with better choices. Whether that be the song choice, or the cover version. 
But I'm happy enough with the songs I put through so it is, what it is..
