ASFM: The Second Choices Gala

[ButterTart]

Did @dmlaw finish the playlist or pass away from exposure to such high concentrations of Japanese people?

I think Su Pollard was the final nail in the coffin.

I stopped after Sinitta and started incompetently composing posts without using the letter a instead.

 

[ButterTart]

I think Su Pollard was the final nail in the coffin.

I can’t think of a sentence that sums her up better than that.

 

[Kate]

I just put this on and it started with an advert for toilet paper. What a good omen

 

[Kate]

1. Angelique Kidjo - Once in a Lifetime

Originally by Talking Heads

I am so AGOG I don't quite know what to think

 

[Kate]

2. Girls Generation - Dancing Queen

Confusingly, a cover of Duffy - Mercy

But WHY

 

[Kate]

And why are they singing about @Nancy

 

[Kate]

3. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Whole Again

Cover of Atomic Kitten - Whole Again

This is mine. It's shit and I love it and I refuse to apologise.

Oh my god. A band I love doing a song I hate. The opposite of several entries in the actual contest.

 

[Kate]

Speaking of vocal powerhouses...

The Race for Life All Stars - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Christ on a bike (in pink fluffy ears)

Why do all their voices sounds the same? SURELY there can't be AUTOTUNE INVOLVED!

 

[Kate]

And now, four girls who've never had fun in their entire lives.

All Saints - Always Something There to Remind Me

Cover of Dionne Warwick

The charisma! I can't!

 

[Kate]

Well fuck you all except @COB for not liking my EXCELLENT Chvrches one

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU VOTED FOR MY ACTUAL ENTRY, CUNTS

 

[Lucille]

I’m quite sure I said it wasn’t THAT BAD.

 

[Kate]

7. Siamese Youth - All the Small Things

Cover of Blink 182

I probably wound have given this 20, I won't lie.

Oh I LIKE THIS!

 

[OutSynk]

@Raining On Me really fucked haself this time.

 

[Kate]

8. Skameleon - Wannabe

Cover of those old slags off the telly

What a TEASE, starting off with Haddaway

This is... a thing.

 

[Kate]

They are smug cunts but also I kind of want to be in the band

 

[Kate]

9. Stantough - Hips Don't Lie

Cover of Shakira

Bardcore is a thing and I love it. This one was courtesy of @Ag

This SURPRISINGLY WORKS

 

[Kate]

IT'S BREXIT SU!

 

[Kate]

I can ease all the pain, baby *fondles right breast*

 

[Diddy]

My other choice was actually another entrant in the competition, which would have been fun.

As it happens one of my potentials was a Japanese cover of a Kylie song.. Turn it into love by Wink! I was certain it was going to be there when @ButterTart talked about all the Kylie covers (were there only 2?)

 

[Kate]

12. Janieck - Does it Matter?

Cover of Alice Deejay - Better off Alone

I heard this in a branch of Game in Madrid and I've been obsessed since. NO H8Rs PLEASE

Well. This chap is no JUDITH PRONK

 

[Kate]

Coldplay seems like a good time to go for a shower.

 

[Kate]

TWO HUNDRED DEGREES
LIKE MY BOBY

 

[Kate]

17. Mascara ft. Ula Hedwig - Golden Years

Cover of David Bowie

THIS IS GREAT

 

[Kate]

21. Platon ft. Joolay - Missing

Cover of Every Thin Buttered Girl

This was @OutSynk yes?

This is quite good too (well the synthy bits in the chorus anyway)

 

[Kate]

29. Genevieve Waite - Femme Fatale

Originally by Velvet Underground

Swapping Nico's weird vocals for some squeaky annoying ones. Thanks but no thanks.

 

[Kate]

32. Joseph William Morgan - I Would Die 4 U

Originally by Prince.

Epic covers are my discovery of the last few months.

I LIKE THIS ONE

 

[Kate]

So DRAMATIC!

 

[Kate]

34. Classical Trancelations - Saltwater

Originally by Clannad or Chicane

WOW

Are there more of these??

 

[Lucille]

Is there a Spotify playlist for the second chance gala?

 

[Kate]

I don't think I can cope with Rolf fingering his didgeridoo.

 

[Kate]

If anyone gives a shit, here's another one I would have liked to enter if it was on Spotify. (PULP cover)

You weren't being asked Kate!

 

[straightorbroken]

Fun Gen Waite Femme Fatale Fact: Lou Reed is playing on her gin hic-upping version. Presumably Nico was lying on the floor.

 

[ButterTart]

Is there a Spotify playlist for the second chance gala?

There will be shortly, I FORGOT!

 

[Lucille]

I’m fine for I creeped on your Spotify and I’m listening to the classical trancelations playlist.

 

[Kate]

You weren't being asked Kate!

Suck my BOBY!

 

[straightorbroken]

Charlotte Church was right about one thing: it's a crazy world that we live in.

 

[Diddy]

25. MORE ASIAN WOMEN - Turn It Into Love

Originally by Kelsey Magnet

I think this is the only ASFM song that also gets covered here. I also think this was @COB

Omg @COB i was circling around this one too!

I guess there aren’t that many Japanese covers
