ASFM Worldvision IV: The Observe the Viewing Globe Gala - TONIGHT, 7PM

[ButterTart]

I think a gay-interest hate longe is the perfect arena for trying out a Power Rangers reference in a thread title. It's also a VERY clever and subtle pun, since this is a VIEWING party for a world music contest, and the world is made of GLOBE.

I'm up the Travelodge for work so I won't be having my tea until after the playlist ends. You've got my full, undivided attention for slightly over an hour AND we'll be finished in plenty of time for {REDACTED] to [REDACTED] on the Traitors. You are both extremely fortunate and extremely welcome.

 

[ButterTart]

The playlist is now available in the first post. Remember - no peeking until 7pm in the evening SHARP, else you'll go blind.

Happy ASFM day to all who celebrate!

 

[ButterTart]

I mean, nobody's here to peek but I must caution you all the same.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm HERE

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I've also ENLIVENED THE THREAD like the GOOD OLD DAYS

I've also ENLIVENED THE THREAD like the GOOD OLD DAYS

WOOP! It feels just like Covid.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I think you have embedded the wrong thing btw, it's just the countdown video and not a playlist

 

[ButterTart]

It's showing as a playlist for me - can you refresh?

 

[ButterTart]

Is it showing as a playlist for anyone else??!!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Ok, it works as a playlist on my desktop, but not my phone.

Which is going to cause problems going forward if this happens to everyone and not just me

[ButterTart]

Oh THANK FUCK

On with the show!

 

[dmlaw]

Desperately trying to remember how to get the damn thing to play on my TV, like in the good old days.

 

[ButterTart]

1. Spain

Leire Martinez - Mi Nombre

​

 

[ButterTart]

This was on my shortlist pretty much from the moment it was released, so I'm glad someone else pulled the trigger.

 

[ButterTart]

She's a look of Shirley Clamp about her when she's not completely in focus.

 

[dmlaw]

Well, this is an excellent start. I hope the chorus doesn’t let it down.

 

[ButterTart]

2. Turkey

Selin - Burn With You

​

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Spain was perfectly cromulent but I can't remember a thing about it 30 seconds after it has finished

 

[dmlaw]

There will, of course, be extra points for anyone whose song also fits with a Halloween theme. It is October, after all.

 

[ButterTart]

3. Belgium

Rachel K Collier & Saruri - Duality

​

 

[ZenGiraffe]

That was way too tame for a Turkish entry

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Not CREDITS

You'd think I'd have gone with that instead of trying to build my franchise, wouldn't you?

Especially since I have an absolute thunderbanger for it.

 

[ButterTart]

Love a bit of Belgian batshit.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Belgium has my FULL ATTENTION

 

[ButterTart]

Not CREDITS

My song selection lives and dies on whether the video has an intro or credits.

 

[ButterTart]

4. Mali

Songhoy Blues Soubour

​

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Duality very much leading the pack so far

 

[ButterTart]

@ZenGiraffe may need the smelling salts for song 4. It's very #FUN4BUTTERS but giraffes of a homosexual disposition may need to call an appropriate adult.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

...oh no

 

[Tisch]

I had no idea Rachel K was Belgian! She's been on My List™ for a while

Rachel's a Welsh, Saruri's the Belgian one.

 

[Tisch]

Rachel's a Welsh, Saruri's the Belgian one.

Oh. CHEAT!

 

[ButterTart]

5. USA

moistbreezy - Give Me Something (Obsession)

​

 

[ButterTart]

Hopefully @ZenGiraffe finds the next one more to his taste

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh thank fuck for some REAL MUSIC after that TORTURE

 

[Tisch]

Oh fuck whoever sent moistbreezy

I remember why I fell out of love with this competition now

 

[ButterTart]

Oh. CHEAT!

Perfectly acceptable as long as one of the artists is from the chosen country!
