MrKingsley and Barney92's Walrus - The Reveal

Green&Red has actually leapt into sneak the final podium place at the expense of poor old Trigger. They were top of the tree going into this round. Sadly for them "El Tango de Roxanne" from Moulin Rouge only scored3 points, dropping them out of the top three.
(Rumours are rife that this may in fact be retribution from one of the judges due to high levels of sass being expressed previously in the competition)
Barney's Comments: Like the music at the beginning of this. However, I really do not enjoy the first singer's voice once he kicks in. Probably works well on stage, which might be a downfall of this theme as some of the songs could be so much better when seen as part of the show.
Kingsley's Comments: Well this is just mad. Full on mad. Don't know what to make of it at all. Love it and hate it a few times all in the space of 4 minutes. There's a couple of bonus points here for it being so nuts.0 -

After G&R’s song ranked so highly Prisca needed to score over 11 to get back in front. However, "The Lioness Hunt " from The Lion King got them8 pointsand they finished just behind the top 2. And so GnR just keeps on moving on up (as S-Club & would've wanted)
Barney's Comments: I wasn't sure about this one on first listen. But then I listened again and found myself nodding along. It grew on me quite quickly. I see MrK has guessed I'd love it and whilst I do like it, loving it might be a stretch. Would have scored more if not for the ending which I didn't like any time I listened.
Kingsley's Comments: Not really wild on this (Although I bet Barney loves it because it reminds him of a certain World Cup theme song.....) Just not crazy about the non stop chanting.

Which just leaves us with 1 last reveal.
Finally we have phatkev with "My Shot" from Hamilton. They are 9 points behind G&R, needing 10 or more to clinch victory. Their song was a good entry and it won them10 points in the round and the overall competition.
Barney's Comments: I've heard this song a lot, friend used to play the soundtrack a fair amount. I think it is very good, a good beat, but I don't like Miranda's voice. He's lost the song a few points but a good entry for the round.
Kingsley's Comments: Bit of hip-hop, yes please. Nice flow and like the beat and choir at the chorus. However I am taking a few marks off for the repetitiveness of it and some of the lyrics I find rather cringy. But I really enjoyed listening to this one.
Congratulations to you Kev

Thank you very much for all (well almost all) of the songs sent in. I got exactly what I wanted out of it which was a load of new artists to listen to and an opportunity to do loads of gifs.
We need not worry about "winners" and "losers" because sure, didn't you all have lovely entries.

Congrats on the win phatkev!
And fair play to Mr Kingsley and Barney92 for running such a great show, even if I disagree with some of the decisions they made.
Since it was my first Walrus, my only goal was to not come last, so I'm pretty happy with how I fared.

Joint last is probably what I deserve for inflicting the Ding Dong Song on the thread :P
I think we study at different levels, I need to be revved up and motivated to do anything involving cramming whereas you guys wanted the mellow sounds. Oh well, lesson learned.... Or is it
Thanks for running folks 0 -

Nice one, delighted with that! I thought my change of mood choice would have scuppered my chances of winning
In all seriousness, congrats Kev, some decent selections there.
Delighted with 4th place and the lead going into the last but kinda knew my selection here wasnt strong enough.. didnt think it was that bad though.. (itsaconspiracy.gif)
Thanks to Kingsley and Barney for a great Walrus and reveals. Roll on the next one0 -
Cheers for the game lads and congrats Kev. Unlucky GnR, you almost snatched it!
This was the round that nearly stopped me entering as I’m not really much of a fan of musicals.
Happy enough with 5th. Would have been a bit higher if it was just Mr Kingsley judging
Roll on homer’s game. Feeling probably unduly confident for this one!0 -

Barney's Comments: Jaunty entry, that'll do well with me. Very clever song. I think it might grate on me if I heard it a lot, but a magical number every now and then. Never heard of this musical before but would like to see it now. Strong ending for a musical number too.
Kingsley's Comments: This will do very nicely. Great choice. I could actually see myself and Barney singing and clapping along to this. Beautifully layered.
Fair play to you Spook. Went to see Half a Sixpence last night. Very good musical. The perks of doing a walrus.0
