ASFM: dmlawdifestivalen: Forgotten Hits - Semi Final 2 listening party 22/04/2021 8pm (1 Viewer)

[Raining on Me]

Thanks @dmlaw!

I didn't love that semi. But it reeks of songs that will grow immensely.

After all that, I'm going to predict I finish in the same place as my song's chart position

@Phoenix, see you out the back

 

[ButterTart]

Right, just having a squint at the ones I missed:

I recognise Voyage Voyage, but not this version. Her diction is appalling and at times it sounds like she's not even singing in English, but it's pretty good.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I can say now the reaction to my song was exactly what I anticipated. I have no idea how it's gonna land!

 

[ButterTart]

Bloody hell. That's actually true!

Shit, I remember her! She had absolutely no place on that version.

 

[Kate]

I got quite a positive response but so did loads of others. I'm going to predict SEVENTEENTH

 

[ButterTart]

I got quite a positive response but so did loads of others. I'm going to predict SEVENTEENTH

I'm confidently predicting top 10. Such confidence served me very well last time, when I came 35th.

 

[ButterTart]

Never been a massive fan of PJ Harvey.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I thought I'd get a warmer reception to mine but it was a bit of a DAMP SQUIB to be fair.

I predict number THIRTY SIX.

 

[rhythmbandit]

After the universal praise of my previous entry the only way is down I guess.

 

[ButterTart]

Cybill
You'd scarcely recognise her from Taxi Driver here.

 

[ButterTart]

Was this the one @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid praised the bleeps and bloops of?

 

[RS]

I think only the silence the depressed Aussie will do worse than my poor bird.

 

[jivafox]

My song flopped again but you know what, IDGAF.

 

[RS]

I’m happy I’ve discovered these Siouxies and the Banshees because now I’m listening to their songs on Spotify and there are a couple of lovely tunes.

 

[ButterTart]

NINE INCH NAILS

Fun fact: I had The Hand That Feeds prepped and ready to go for this until I absolutely bombed with a rock song last time.

 

[OutSynk]

I think your previous rock song was too gloomy for the masses. This one would have been more fun for Europe.

And now I've revealed it so I can't use it in future.

 

[ButterTart]

Really not enjoying that Makeba one.

 

[Marilyn]

I'm preparing to have a total meltdown once the voting comes in

TIMELY MIKI BERENYI NEWS FROM POPBITCH

 

[Indie]

NINE INCH NAILS

Fun fact: I had The Hand That Feeds prepped and ready to go for this until I absolutely bombed with a rock song last time.

Exhibit A: A typical example of a ButterTart swerve.

 

[AlgoAlex]

I THINK i’ll do better than I did with GIRLI (not hard)
Thanks @dmlaw !

 

[Phoenix]

My song has been a complete flop. Almost as bad as Eve was Weak.

 

[OutSynk]

Almost as bad as Eve was Weak.

That bad huh? What on earth did you send?

 

[straightorbroken]

Just combing the list. I won't say now, but one I almost entered and really had the most perfect bird. Another one has simply blown me away (...) and I'm absolutely gagging to put the album on soon now.

 

[cwej]

Now Scarlet were my 3rd choice, but I thought it was too obvious

Same. Absolutely knew this would be in the list.

 

[ButterTart]

Exhibit A: A typical example of a ButterTart swerve.

@Kate revealing my intricate web of lies during her contest has really knackered up my game plan

 

[Devil]

Same. Absolutely knew this would be in the list.

Third to this. I thought it was far too obvious so took it off the list early.

 

[Suomi]

Third to this. I thought it was far too obvious so took it off the list early.

Fourth to this it was the first song I thought about, but I appreciate it more than outrightly
like it

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Was this the one @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid praised the bleeps and bloops of?

Intriguing! I like the mystery so I will claim no position either way.

 

[Rita]

So now that both listening parties have been and gone I must ask the question. How on GODS EARTH can someone who has been posting here for the best part of 17 years get it so wrong TIME AND TIME AGAIN?? I LOVED this theme aswell.

 

[COB]

I saw this last night as ZG was staying with me - there was a lot of good stuff! I love that Siouxsie song so much, I was getting funny looks while writhing on the sofa to it but I didn't care

Good to have you back. Please feel free to vote if you feel like you want to.

That goes for everyone else who doesn't have a song in the competition as well.

Is @Alla competing or is he an impartial observer?

 

[COB]

I might vote! I'll catch up on semi 1 and see how I like everything

Alla has a song competing this time.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I might vote! I'll catch up on semi 1 and see how I like everything

If you don’t feel like it I can send you some names and figures to copy and paste and submit to speed it up for you.

 

[COB]

I had whittled my shortlist down to four songs -

 

[Kate]

Tetris would totally have got points from me
