Music Cup 2017

maybe I should have gone for Time, by Tom Waits for this one.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'd have voted for that.

What was your back up?

[GarlicJam]

didn't have one

[sussexpob]

I voted for the songs I thought encapsulated the spirit of the round most. No one goes on xfactor to sing Neil Young

i wasn't sure what way people would go and whether it was up to me to say anything about whether to vote for the song that fitted the theme best or just to vote for what was their favourite song out of those nominated

[GarlicJam]

I have had a bit of a wonder about that, Rich.

[rich1uk]

just having had a brief think about it i've never specified before to vote based on the theme over just what anyone liked the best

maybe in my effort to try and avoid just picking generic themes i'm opening things up too much to ambiguity

[sussexpob]

People vote how they want. I was just stating an opinion, not moaning! I'll finish last whatever

i knew you weren't moaning, this time anyway

it was something i had thought about myself

[Arthur Crabtree]

I voted for the songs I thought encapsulated the spirit of the round most. No one goes on xfactor to sing Neil Young

Or Leonard Cohen.

[GarlicJam]

well, it's high time someone did!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seems like just the ticket. The slow start and the build with the big chorus. The potential for choir and orchestra. The spiritual theme.

Week 3 Theme - Bands with a female lead singer

remember to let me know if you want to play your joker

edit : just to add, when i say bands i mean proper bands that actually play instruments, not girlbands like The Spice Girls or Girls Aloud (looking at you Ginger )

[Gingerfinch]

The Corrs ok?
