Moopyvision Karaoke Contest 2020

[Zu]

EXCITING! And live from Joanna Dee’s! NOTHING BUT THE BEST!

 

[cwej]

If @Diddy beats me again after the Scavenger Hunt fiasco.

Spoiler: REHEARSALS ARE UNDERWAY

 

[Iguana]

Ooh you have PROPER SOFTWARE

I had to use a Microsoft Movie Maker for my video that stopped being rolled out in 2012

 

[Soldi]

Put me in second AT YOUR PERIL!

You may or may not be second in FDS

 

[Soldi]

I’m using KEYNOTE

 

[COB]

Ooh you have PROPER SOFTWARE

You wouldn't know it from the state of what I'm producing

 

[SDF]

Can’t wait hun x

These ten performers will be debuting their entries at an exclusive event LIVE from Joanna Dee's Nightclub on Wednesday 3rd June. Please join me in wishing them all the best of luck! More details to follow.

Ping me a PM when you start the thread and I'll pin it.

 

[COB]

I will now reveal the countries whose songs will be covered during this year's contest. They are as follows -

Denmark
Luxembourg
Portugal
Norway (x2)
San Marino
Ukraine (x2)
United Kingdom (x2)

That's right, no less than THREE countries are popular enough to have multiple entries! I can also confirm that none of these are duplicate songs, just multiple entries from different years.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm preemptively horrified at the Portuguenese entry. Unless it's Quero Ser Tua, in which case I'm delighted.

 

[COB]

I cannot confirm nor deny that at this stage, but I'll just say it's probably not the best idea to tweet the show link to Suzy.

 

[Soldi]

I hope it’s Ha Um Mar Que Nos Separa

Best Portuguese entry by FAR (after Antes do Adeus)

 

[COB]

Running order confirmed! I used this random draw website I found on Google, entering the names in alphabetical order and clicking the button ten times (with the first name picked going first, and so on). I was given the following running order:

1. @Chlammy
2. @SDF
3. @PopLife
4. @ZenGiraffe
5. @COB
6. @Iguana
7. @dUb
8. @Beverley
9. @cwej
10. @Diddy

 

[Iguana]

I'm not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse to be on after you @COB

 

[Zu]

Poor @SDF in the DEATH SLOT! (If also a very unkind )

 

[Beverley]

HOLY FUCK I'm stuck between three people that can ACTUALLY SING (maybe four but I can't remember the vox the night Diddy and I in karaoke in Osaka)

 

[Zu]

I'm not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse to be on after you @COB

The tarot suggests that you’ll be following three minutes of deliciously CREAMY VOX, so good luck with THAT!

 

[Soldi]

HOLY FUCK I'm stuck between three people that can ACTUALLY SING (maybe four but I can't remember the vox the night Diddy and I in karaoke in Osaka)

Like you mentioned to me, there may be other aspects of the performance that GET THE VOTES IN

 

[Alla]

The dark horse is relatively unknown @PopLife and I predict she's gonna be top 3 at least

 

[Zu]

@COB Has Smeeta Smitten Showbiz Kitten confirmed that she’ll be working behind the bar at Joanna Dee’s? She’s very professional with an eye-poppingly generous cup and snazzy new perm, but I’d pop the CCTV on if I were you as she’s been known to help herself to a few bob out of the till (not to mention a box or three of Tangy Toms)

 

[Soldi]

I think I‘ve followed our @PopLife on Twitter for YEARS, could be the complete WRONG PERSON but I’m convinced.

 

[COB]

Smeeta actually had her final warning a while back, but has bounced back with a job sweeping up at the infamous Tolbooth bar (well known for putting plastic fried eggs in bread rolls and sitting them on the bar to get around local licencing laws so people can get tanked up first thing )

 

[COB]

So I uploaded one of the entries to YouTube to allow the entrant to hear their vox emerging from the original video, and it got taken down for copyright infringement

! This has the distinct ring of being based on FACT!

Look at those lovely CURTAINS!

Try DAILYMOTION, it’s shit but no copyright issues and WHAT NOT, allows me to get my SANREMO FIX.

 

[Generic Account]

There are some heavy hitters in that second half. :O

 

[COB]

Look at those lovely CURTAINS!

My friend told me it years ago, and I like the idea so much I don't even care if it's apocryphal

Also, fun fact - this stunning location is mere MINUTES from our Moopyvision entrant ZenGiraffe's beautifully appointed home.

 

[Zu]

Oh I love the word APOCRYPHAL

I bet it’s 100% TRUE!

 

[COB]

Try DAILYMOTION, it’s shit but no copyright issues and WHAT NOT, allows me to get my SANREMO FIX.

I'm hoping once I've edited everything into one long video it'll no longer trigger YouTube's detection systems - and if it does I'll just confuse it by throwing some coloured lights/gonks up on the screen in front of everyone's hard work

 

[Zu]

Very much here for gonks (and also probably depending on how stout they are)

Oh so I guess it's the image and not the audio what is giving you problems, that's good then. Try an horizontal flip of the video, that usually works.

 

[SDF]

Oh for fuck sake

 

[ZenGiraffe]

If the wind is right I swear I can hear the sorry excuse that passes for karaoke performed at this place from my window.

 

[Kate]

Aww 10 entrants is nice - nobody will get nul points

 

[COB]

Reviewing everything I've got, I really can't believe the level of talent and creativity on display in these! The running order has also thrown up a very interesting double-bill, which we can discuss further at the time

 

[Soldi]

 

[SDF]

Have two people picked the same song?

 

[COB]

They haven't, though that might have been fun
