Belfast - Orbital

*SNIP

I suppose this is sort of relaxing. I’m just not gone on really long electronic instrumentals (unless it’s dance or trance) unfortunately so I sort of kept skipping this in the playthroughs and it ended up here.

Thought for a minute I was 13th, then I realised I submitted this to something else :pac: I love this!

Necrina

Rammstein – Du Hast

I expected this to be better, I really did. Maybe I was spoiled by Mein Heartz Brant but I just didn’t enjoy this as much as I expected to. This would have been the one Rammstein track I’d have heard of as well but while it was ok, it didn’t really do much else for me.

Montserrat Caballe - O mio Bambino caro

Yeah I much prefer this to Nessun Dorma. It seems not too many are a fan of the opera genre :P This was a nice track and one I hadn’t listened to in a good while.

Irish Aris

Megadeth-Skin O' My Teeth

I did expect to get a bit of the heavier type of rock that I wouldn’t be as familiar with. There’s not really any comparison to Du Hast here imo, this is a much better song which is reflected in the rankings.

Trigger

Just give me a reason – Pink ft. Nate Reuss

Pink is a great artist but actually I think it’s Nate that drags this song up another notch, just an incredible voice. The duet is on point too. I’d certainly listen to this genre regularly so I’m very familiar with the song but that doesn’t detract from it too much here. Very nice choice. And it’s not Pearl Jam – SHOCK HORROR :pac:
This song has also been submitted in another category... will it do better or worse there I wonder?

Barna77

TLC - No Scrubs

Again, another song I’m HUGELY familiar with and the genre in particular. Not sure what I can say really in the case of this track that hasn’t been said already, it’s certainly a choon. Has to lose marks because I’m so familiar with it mind. Not too many mind...

Deja Boo

The Black Crowes - She Talks To Angels

This is a fun little track that I just really enjoyed each listen through of this round. Very close to squeezing into the top 3 equation here, but missed out in the end unfortunately. Great choice!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

DJ Fresh ft. Sian Evans (Radio Edit) – Louder

This is a cracking track again, I had heard it a couple of times in passing but just really enjoyed it every time it came on in the listen throughs. The last 30 secs or so are awesome as well.

Electric Nitwit

Don't Stop Moving - S Club 7

Always liked this track, even did a fundraising mime related dance to it. Thankfully all such evidence has been completely destroyed in a mysterious fire a few years ago…. :P Anyways yeah this was a real good entry and fitted the category well for the entrant given their normal tastes

Necro · 27-05-2021 9:47pm

And that brings us right up to our remaining 6, in no particular order - 4 of these guys were here just last night as well....

The purple tin

Kolido

Ari101

Homer J. Fong

And…

ShaneU

The purple tin

Miley Cyrus – Wildflowers

A Tom Petty cover… sneaky sneaky tpt :pac: I actually really like Miley Cyrus and I think she gets a lot of flack for her extra curricular activities but is in fact really talented. But…. I did not like this track. It was a poor cover and just all a bit safe and boring unfortunately.

NF - Lost (feat. Hopsin)

This is a cracking track. Really enjoyed it from start to finish. Big fan of rap anyways and wasn’t familiar with these guys so thanks for this entry!

That's 3 top 3's in a row for Shane... can he keep it up?

Little Roy - Come As You Are

Covers aren’t doing too well it seems… I really didn’t like this. Firstly it’s a rather poor knock off of the original and secondly… reggae :pac: I don’t mind some Marley from time to time but that’s about the height of my investigation into the genre.. yeah this just didn’t work for me.

Lady Gaga & Beyonce – Telephone

This is a blast from the past, haven’t heard it in ages

Back when Gaga was a trendsetter instead of slumming around with Ariana Grande etc. YES CEE_JAY I'M STILL NOT OVER IT :pac::pac: Again it’s not something I’d (EVER... no really... EEEEVVVVVVEEERRRR) expect to be submitted by this entrant on a normal basis so it’s a great choice for this category.

Necro · 27-05-2021 10:04pm

So it's ari101 and Kolido left....

Beats International - just be good to me

And on the flip side to loving Shane’s entry, I just hated this. It’s so slow and repetitive and I just ended up flicking to the next song about halfway through towards the end of the listens. Sorry brah!

Necro · 27-05-2021 10:08pm

In 1st place with 16 points

Ari101

Stay - So Bad

*Insert Chris Hemsworth shrug* I’m not even sorry!

I think I might actually love K-Pop because I’ve had a few tracks submitted to various Walruses and loved them all. Y’all are only sorry ye didn’t think of it, be honest :pac:

ari101 · 27-05-2021 10:08pm

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, too much of a certain game well... is 2 + 2 really = to 4?

I'm glad I finished so high, some great songs in this.

My problem is there are so few genres I don't like.

Dance is one I'd listen to least, so went with that.

ari101 · 27-05-2021 10:11pm

Woohoo, trying to find a gif of Matt Damon cheering on Mars when he makes contact via pathfinder - well it's not happening so how about a high five!

Necro · 27-05-2021 10:15pm

ShaneU has a nice little lead after three top 3 finishes in a row, 12 points ahead of both Trigger and JP Liz.

There's very very little seperating the other 5 places below that though and with only three rounds in the books, this is a marathon not a sprint...

Taking tomorrow off for Rikand's Walrus (also I'm getting muh second vaccine jab in the morning WOOOP!)

But I plan to do the musical round on Saturday evening circa 8pm if nothing else is going on in the forum...

Definitely my favourite round I think so very excited about it
