The Song Collectors V - Finished

[Leo]

if colbie calls I am here for her, let's hope Gravity resurges so there is consistency!

[trebor]

[MENTION=38563]Colbie[/MENTION]
Gravity hasn't logged in since the 13th of March... !
Does anybody know where she is? Hope everything is OK [I'm a bit worried]

Maybe we should have a replacement judge. Maybe [MENTION=34683]leomedar[/MENTION] (as he sat on the judge's panel before).

[cheapthrills]

I voted - decent group

Oh, good! Glad he made it!

[Colbie]

^ Yes he did! ;-)

[Spartan]

I don't understand what you mean?

I meant if flopho hasn’t participated. Or has he?

[Colbie]

Does this mean we all get a free pass to the next round?

I don't understand what you mean?

[Spartan]

Songs are send the to judges!

flophoe last logged in on the 21st of March.
I understand that all of FSC is also waiting on his voting!

[Colbie]

Only waiting for [MENTION=34238]flopho[/MENTION]

[trebor]

Submitted. Originally wanted to submit Danzig.

[Thriller]

Sent - not sure it will be everyone’s cup of tea but oh well.

[Spartan]

Submitted my song, it was tricky choosing one so I went with something personal to me.

[cheapthrills]

See, I'm not always terrible

[Spartan]

There's one song that comes to mind that if it's used, I will give it a 1.

Spartan will probably submit it.

I don’t know what song you’re talking about, but you’ve been very generous toward my picks recently.

I’d have submitted Dear Theodosia from a few rounds ago for this if I hadn’t used it already.

[cheapthrills]

There's one song that comes to mind that if it's used, I will give it a 1.

Spartan will probably submit it.

[RayRay]

This one comes to mind.

As well as Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross (or Celine Dion).
Celine has several: Goodbye's The Saddest Word, Parler A Mon Pere
Madonna: Mother & Father, Promise To Try
Mariah: Flowers For Alfred Roy
Janet: You Need Me
Wilson Phillips: Flesh and Blood

Many goose bump songs.

[Affillate]

Close round really going to have to bring it this one.

I had GG’s ‘The Boys’ in mind too and even though it has a Korean version, the chorus still has English so in keeping almost completely in a foreign language I went with Gee (where the only English is the little spoken intro bit and the word ‘baby’ IIRC haha).

Getting to the business end now. I have something in mind.

[Thriller]

Oh wow I’m leading! Glad Paparazzi was a smash. OK I’ll give this one some thought.

[Colbie]

Round 8. What makes a good parent?
I was inspired by Mahmood's Soldi (ESC Italy this year), and remembered other songs about the relationships between parents and children. Sometimes it's beautiful, but sometimes not. I want all the collectors to sent me a song that is about a child and their parent(s). Goodluck!

Deadline: Saturday

[Colbie]

Sorry for the terrible long wait sweeties! Please forgive me, i will try to do better! Atleast my cold has gotten a bit less

Round 7 Scores

1. Hyuna - Ice Cream (SUMMERPEUR)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlWZluzBNxM

Cheapthrills: I guess this is PCD Kpop style? I liked the bridge, but not much else. I feel overwhelmed with noise.
Score: 4.5

Jsparksfan: Basic, uninspired, unexciting.
Score: 6,5

Gagarazzi: Sounds like something Gwen Stefani would do if she were Korean.
Score: 4

2. Girls' Generation - Paparazzi (starts at 1:45) (THRILLER)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqP1xzRZkw&app=desktop

Cheapthrills: Goodness this takes awhile to get going, doesn’t it? First Bolero, then Singing in the Rain? This is another high energy song, but maybe the fact that this is such a large group makes the vocal interplay more interesting.
Score: 8.5

Jsparskfan: This isn't perfect, but it is interesting. I'm definitely playing this again.
Score: 8

Gagarazzi: Pretty catchy actually. I really like their voices.
Score: 8

3. Era – Ameno (SPARTAN)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xUn...ature=youtu.be

Cheapthrills: How very Game of Thrones. (Or maybe not – I’ve never watched that show in my life; it just seems like the kind of music I’d hear on that show.). I like the renaissance choral music backed with the dance beat. It reminds me a little of the group Enigma.
Score: 8

Jsparskfan: Sleep-inducing.
Score: 6

Gagarazzi: Sounds like Enigma’s Sadeness which I love, but this wasn’t as good.
Score: 6

4. BigBang - Bang Bang Bang (TREBOR)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ips2mM7Zqw

Cheapthrills: OK, this has all the hallmarks of a song that would I love to completely die in a fire – boy band posturing, music that seems to switch it up too often, annoying vocals and a video that tries too hard. And yet somehow, I was thoroughly entertained. I don’t understand myself sometimes.
Score: 9

Jsparskfan: Eh, this was just noise for me.
Score: 3

Gagarazzi: Was ok until the ‘Bang bang bang’ part. Annoying.
Score: 2

5. Christine and the Queens - Damn, dis-moi (feat Dam-Funk) (FLOPHO)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdIvdGoLJRU

Cheapthrills: The only act here I had heard of before – never really gotten too excited with her work, but I don’t think this is bad. It just feels like it’s stuck in a rut.
Score: 7

Jsparksfan: Good stuff!
Score: 7,5

Gagarazzi: I was such a stan for her debut album. I bought it 5 times actually! This song however sounds like a Michael Jackson/Bruno Mars b-side.
Score: 6

6. Girls' Generation – Gee (AFFILLATE)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ&app=desktop

Cheapthrills: Oh man, after the other GG song in this group, I thought this might be another one to enjoy, but I feel like I’m trapped in a Hello Kitty ad or something. The melody is a bit all over the place. Naturally I’m going to compare the two; I believe the other song submitted is better.
Score: 5

Jsparksfan: Equal parts charming and irritating. I have mixed feelings about this, but I'd certainly revisit it.
Score: 7

Gagarazzi: This done didn’t really do much for me
Score: 3




Woah! Summerpeur got the lowest score this round. I swear i didn't just made this up becouse it was more convenient.... Sad to see you leave, and i hope you ejoyed it! Congrats to Thriller for receiving the highest score this round!

[trebor]

^ Get well soon! <3

[Colbie]

Sorry to keep you waiting sweeties. Was sick the past few days and and still am a little. Will post the scores without Gravity's tomorrow or wednesday with the new round! Apologies again

[cheapthrills]

Maybe we should just reveal the submitted scores and comments. They are meaningless anyhow with Summer leaving.

[Thriller]

Shame this has ended up like the Sugababes career.

[Affillate]

I recommend just doing this round with 3 judges, maybe invite RayRay to replace Gravity from the next round onwards.

I agree. Especially with Summer leaving the reduced scores wont matter anyway (only for the following round's placings which will be less room for a bad score because there were less total score for Round 7). Replacement Judge next round (unless Gravity returns).

[Spartan]

I recommend just doing this round with 3 judges, maybe invite RayRay to replace Gravity from the next round onwards.

[Spartan]

Gravity hasn’t been online for over a week. Hope he’s okay.
