ANNOUNCEMENT - The Next ASFM - Friday 23rd October

[Zu]

I’m assuming the theme is broad enough if we only have 5 hours to come up with the goods

It’s CLOWNS*. Get that Ronald McDonald Greatest Hits at the ready!

*it’s not. Well, it might be

 

[Lucille]

THIS IS HUGE.

 

[COB]

Bigger than Bowie on my Facebook, etc etc

 

[Indie]

I already know what song I'm entering

I mean if it's a theme that doesn't support pirates singing about beer then I'm fucked

I've mentioned a few times that I have at least twelve songs prepped and ready to go, and come Hell or high water I will make one of them fit the theme.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

"One lost contest" and that Kylie face

I can do both, but won't be live for the results (I quite like reading after the fact anyway).

Can't wait!

I finished this last week and I was praying that someone didn't change their profile picture in the interim

The ambitious predicted winner of Undercover in the first version you sent me...

I genuinely thought @Diddy was going to defy expectations. And it just felt correct having her in that montage.

 

[Tisch]

I've just had to watch the video again. Truly ART for this age.

 

[ButterTart]

I genuinely thought @Diddy was going to defy expectations. And it just felt correct having her in that montage.

At the precise moment you sent me that, I was learning that across-the-board praise for a song doesn't mean people are actually going to vote for it. They were reserving the big points for the songs they'd slagged off, like Kiss Kiss.

 

[Nancy]

I HAVE MY PLANS FOR AN ENTRY

 

[Berly]

How can we be planning an entry with no theme confirmed?! Is the theme as loose as @SDF or what @ZenGiraffe

 

[Nancy]

MY COMMENT REFERRED TO SOLDI.

I’VE NO IDEA WHAT I’M GOING TO DO FOR ASFM YET.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How can we be planning an entry with no theme confirmed?! Is the theme as loose as @SDF or what @ZenGiraffe

I will not be drawn on speculating about the theme, other than say DON'T PANIC, it will be fine. I have faith in you all.

 

[Soldi]

*sends Kiss Kiss again*

Picking an on-theme song on the day is part of the fun!

In that case it’s definitely PUPPETS

*sends Sooty and Sweep’s steamy take on ‘Je t’aime... moi non plus’*

 

[Berly]

[giagunn]Absolutely[/giagunn]

 

[Nancy]

What does giagunn mean?

 

[ButterTart]

Picking an on-theme song on the day is part of the fun!

Agreed, which is why I've spent the last week matching songs to every conceivable theme I can think of. Organised spontaneity is still spontaneity.

 

[COB]

In that case it’s definitely PUPPETS

*sends Sooty and Sweep’s steamy take on ‘Je t’aime... moi non plus’*

In that case I'm definitely entering THIS

It was quite cruel of the Sugababes to forcibly draft Soo at the very height of her menopause, but I think she still did a fab job

 

[AGinAg (37)]

FUCK YOU

I was PLANNING to participate (although i have absolutely no clue what it is, or how you play) but now I'm NOT SO SURE

I'd be inclined to wait for a proper time one.

 

[Iguana]

I do like to be PREPARED so it's giving me anxiety but in a GOOD way. I have an ASFM playlist with songs I could enter and at the moment it has one song on it. So it better fit the theme

 

[Diddy]

I genuinely thought @Diddy was going to defy expectations. And it just felt correct having her in that montage.

do you still have that? It would be nice to have an alternate reality to go to when I feel BLUE

 

[Diddy]

I must send my sad regards that I won’t be able to participate this time due to the time difference, I hope you all enjoy it though.

And that trailer FUCKS HARD!

I'll be honest, disappointed you're not willing to pull an all nighter for this

 

[Iguana]

The trailer really is EVERYTHING!

 

[Lucille]

That trailer has reminded me that Où est ton amour and Hero are exactly what I need to get out of bed today.

 

[ButterTart]

So many people voting for Saturday
I bet Nigel Farage would vote Saturday.

Can't you just cough a few times and get out of your childcare duties?

Hopefully the spiralling infection rate in Birmingham will put paid to it anyway, but still... Friday just makes SENSE.

Also where did these secret children appear from? Are they YOURS?

 

[Suomi]

Just seen that the next full moon is on the 31st October, so actually either day is fine for me but I would prefer Friday

 

[Nancy]

I HOPE THE THEME ISN’T MALE SINGERS

 

[Iguana]

I HOPE THE THEME ISN’T MALE SINGERS

It won't be - @ZenGiraffe wouldn't be able to re-enter Caramellagirls if it was

 

[ZenGiraffe]

After their Christmas surprise was RUINED, this could be their last outing this year!

 

[Diddy]

i feel immortalised

You made me the happiest girl in the world <3

 

[Diddy]

I'll be honest, disappointed you're not willing to pull an all nighter for this

if it’s a Friday then absolutely not because I’m working late Friday and early Saturday

The all nighter isn’t so bad, but an all-morninger is OUT OF THE QUESTION

 

[Diddy]

Don’t worry, I’ll be participating in my liquid dreams
