ASFM: Back To Basics - FIRST LISTENING PARTY

[dmlaw]

SONG 5 - North Caucasian Emirate

Adelen - Obsessed

 

[ButterTart]

Is this Adelen of Bombo fame?

 

[Raining on Me]

This whole run so far feels like a real Eurovision

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Now this is BASIC

 

[dmlaw]

I mean, this is disgraceful. Adele is way too famous for this contest.

 

[ButterTart]

Fuck me this is GOOD

 

[ButterTart]

I mean, this is disgraceful. Adele is way too famous for this contest.

She's like a B-list Muna.

 

[RS]

Now this is more like it. My kind of basic.

 

[Kate]

I see that Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Self Esteem have had a daughter together.

 

[Kate]

And she is BASIC.

 

[RJN]

The sound of 2010

 

[RJN]

But I'm obsessed with it

 

[Tisch]

Basic as heck! The structure and tempo literally stays the same throughout. APPROVED.

 

[ButterTart]

She's quite the woman. No matter what she's wearing in this video there's a tangible sense of slag.

 

[Lucille]

This is a basic STUNNER!

 

[RS]

This is going to do well

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Raining on Me]

She looks a bit like Perrie off Little Mix and I'd be delighted if Perrie presented this as her debut

 

[COB]

This will do well, I think.

 

[RJN]

Yeah, this is finishing top 10

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 6 - Lesbian flag

Andriana Babali - Den 'in arga

 

[Suomi]

me teleporting to whatever club is playing this basic nonsense

 

[COB]

Greek?

 

[RS]

Ellada time!

 

[ButterTart]

Is this our token Greek?

 

[ButterTart]

Why is Craig Fairbrass off Eastenders in the video?

 

[RS]

This sounds like a slower version of a song I know(?).

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

I love that this sounds like a hospital soap theme and a restaurant

 

[COB]

Is this our token Greek?

We have TWO, how dare you

 

[Kate]

Of course the Greeks invented lesbianism on the isle of Lesbos.

 

[RS]

When will it start though?

 

[Raining on Me]

Ooh SULTRY OVERSEAS GEM time

Not as authentic as Shania's World version of Up! mind

 

[COB]

This song will have its fans.

 

[Kate]

When will it start though?

The lesbianism? Hopefully as soon as that bloke gets out of the way.

 

[RS]

Well yes, it’s still getting half my points of course.

 

[COB]

This song will have its fans.

Of which I MAY be one on repeated listens! It's not connecting as of now though

 

[Raining on Me]

I think it's quite lovely but I might forget about it...

 

[Suomi]

I like the piano in this, it’s sort of telling its own version of the event

Spoiler

the event being a very sad and depressing night in

 

[dmlaw]

SONG 7 - Twin Peaks

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

 

[COB]

Now this is a REALLY VERY FAMOUS SONG isn't it?
