i like the chorus on this one?

or maybe just compared to the horrible verses.

 

[Phoenix]

Ok the lady vocals are better but that man should not be allowed to sing

 

[ButterTart]

Good idea to have a CG factory in the video, real factories are notoriously difficult to find in the wild.

 

[RS]

That’s a very odd choice for an E-Type song.

 

[Raining on Me]

I'll happily take this Ace of Base cheap tracing paper copy.

singing in front of a nuclear plant.

topical.

 

[BoysForSeles]

The chorus definitely has a hook.

Looks like one of our big dreaded hopitals.

 

[dmlaw]

You'll be pleased to hear that clever @ZenGiraffe has managed to entirely excise 'Michael Bolton after ten years on crystal meth' from the recap excerpt.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The chorus definitely has a hook.

 

[ButterTart]

When the Hell was this released? It sounds like nothing else they've ever done, like when Cascada did Evacuate the Dancefloor rather than just another cover of Everytime We Touch.

 

[dmlaw]

Last song for tonight

SONG 21 - Flamin' Galah

Juliet Roberts - Caught In The Middle



UK #14

 

[RS]

Fans of Swedish pop and Melodifestivalen might know Dilba. The semi-naked girl is her sister.

These aren’t her vocals. It sounds like Jessica Folker.

 

[Generic Account]

she really should wear more if she wants to dance under a downpour of volcanic ash

I like the spanish guitar!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh I know this 90s gem from

 

[dmlaw]

When the Hell was this released?

E-Type was released in 1997, like everything else in this competition.

 

[ButterTart]

There's quite a Parent Teacher Association vibe to Juliet Roberts.

 

[BoysForSeles]

There’s definitely some remix of this which hits a bit harder but I like this too. Very Alison Limerick.

 

[Generic Account]

I like the backing vocals

 

[ButterTart]

E-Type was released in 1997, like everything else in this competition.

I hope Big Music is watching this and realises the way to revitalise the singles chart is to basically make it the late 90s again.

 

[Marilyn]

The hair on the single cover for this is iconic

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No idea how to vote. Some definite hot slabs tonight.

 

[Raining on Me]

I need to run through these again just to see if the Australian chart entries really are the worst of the lot

 

[Generic Account]

I like the backing vocals

and her hat

 

[RS]

I know this too.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This is a classic of course.

 

[ButterTart]

The hair on the single cover for this is iconic

Still a bit Mumsy, though. Like she took that photo on her first night out after losing the baby weight.

 

[Alla]

I really like Caught In The Middle, but I want you is so much better.

 

[Tisch]

I love that she's clearly dancing on a lazy Susan

 

[dmlaw]

That's your first 21 songs, but there are still 20 more red hot bangers to come. Join me at 8pm on Thursday for Semi Final listening party 2.

 

[ButterTart]

Well @dmlaw that was ace. There were some splendid choices in there, and some songs I've already totally forgotten.

 

[Generic Account]

that ginormous heart

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Thank you @dmlaw

[ButterTart]

Hopefully a few more people will be joining us tomorrow, I feel like we were slightly understaffed tonight.

Although I look forward to the Kate/Suomi/SORB posting onslaught that bumps this thread up to 73 pages.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Well that went by quickly, cheers @dmlaw. A few really good tracks but definitely plenty of room for songs from the second semi final to pick up lots of points.

 

[Phoenix]

Moopy #dobetter

 

[RS]

Thank you @dmlaw for a fantastic show!


We all seem to have not stepped our pussies up though. My winner will be in the second semi, I’m sure.

 

[Raining on Me]

Thank you for the fun times Mr @dmlaw

Loving the theme so far...plenty suitable as regular ASFM entries, a few surprise bangers, a few I knew, and guest starring Billie Piper. Splendid!

 

[Berly]

The Missy Higgins song is one of my favourite songs, like ever, not this contest or ASFM, it’s in my top 100 of all time... but does that mean I should give it points here?
