    Whoa, pause the contest!
    We need more detail here...

    Long story short, there was a misunderstanding between his friends and my friends over a bar tab. We were in the right and they were salty about it, so outside the bar as we were leaving I started singing his song F**k You at him, he was not amused, threatening to kill me for being a cheeky little Irish shít, so naturally I continued being a cheeky little Irish shít until one of my group reminded me we were in America and he was probably carrying a gun, so I apologized and swiftly hopped into our Limo and made a quick getaway.

    Now, much drink had been taken, and upon reflection one or two of the people from our group reckon it wasn't actually Cee Lo Green, and just someone who looked identical to him and was also wearing sunglasses at night, around the corner from where they were filming The Voice... Coincidence? I think not.

    Also the Limo was part of a Limo pub crawl organised by the Hostel we were staying at, none of us were actually in any way fancy, just in case anyone was about to accuse me of having notions... :D

    Gnarls Barkley - Crazy 3 - 6 Eminem feat. Nate Dogg - Shake That

    James blunt

    Papa Roach - my nomination

    Staind - my nomination and one of my favourite songs that just played on my random Spotify radio

    Green day

    Foo fighters

    My chemical romance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Staind - So Far Away - love this song. Well played, whoever nominated it!!!

    Green Day - Waiting - classic Green Day track and Sex On Fire is so overplayed.

    Foo Fighters - The Pretender - this is my nom, but I do love that Bon Jovi track too. Hope Foo's get it, but happy enough with either result here.

    Eminem feat. Nate Dogg - Shake That - meh on both, but Cee Lo Green (aka. Gnarls Barkley) threatened to kill me one time in LA, so f**k that guy.

    Cascada - Everytime We Touch - I can't help but really like this song.

    Lemon Jelly - Nice Weather For Ducks - it's very catchy, and Walking On a Dream is overrated (not a bad song, just overrated)

    Linkin Park & Jay-Z - Numb/Encore - can never have enough Linkin Park

    Interpol - Obstacle 1 - not my favourite Interpol, but still a million miles better than I Gotta Feeling

    That would be me and going on our voting when I've noticed we share a similar taste in music!

    Think I've quoted you and just said same as

    I know right? Thought that song would do quite well but Cascada is surprising me each round with her popularity for that specific track.

    Yes, I've noticed we're more or less on the same wavelength. I actually had a few Staind tracks on my shortlist for nominees - my final cut was It's Been Awhile when making my nominations. Saw them live when they played the Ambassador in Dublin in 2006 - absolutely amazing gig. Ended up smoking weed with one of my old secondary school teachers after that gig, which was surreal... :D

    Saw them myself support nickelback in the late 2000s and they were unreal. The group I was with were there for nickelback and didn't even know who staind were! One of the best gigs I was ever at, well until nickelback started!

    I cant stand MCR, he has one of those "nails on a blackboard" voices for me. I've no great love for Cascada but it was a lesser of two evils vote.

    Ah now, don't be dissing Nickelback, they have some quality tunes (How You Remind Me, Someday, Edge of a Revolution, If Today Was Your Last Day, Something In Your Mouth, When We Stand Together - just to name a few).

    They're definitely a hell of a lot better than a huge amount of the absolute sh*te songs that have made an appearance in this comp.
