LIVE THREAD - GREATEST SONG SUNG BY A FEMALE ARTIST

JP Liz V1

Strawberry Milkshake take a bow and a rest, epic run game, thank you

Fair play, Strawbs. I really enjoyed that. A lot of the knockouts whizzed past me, but can't complain about the winner (I mean, I can, but...)

What's this 'superior' cover version of Sweet Dreams everyone is talking about? If it's Marilyn Manson you're having a laugh

goddam. now i'm disappointed. you may even have prevented her getting that far.

i'm gonna listen to bette davis eyes (at least top 8 IMO).

i love how music is so subjective, there's no rhyme or reason.

i love my (i suppose thats obvious!) taste in music (for the most part rock from 80-90's), but i love so many others.

like tatu, all the things she said. what a song! i try macy gray (not a nomination from me), should have went further. who knocked that out? and for my own nominations, sinnerman? travesty, should have been in the final 4! :pac:

again thanks strawbs!

Tell me how

I'm not a huge fan of either of the songs which made it to the final. Expected SOC because it has icon status in Ireland but thought maybe Dolly Parton's Jolene or a Nina Simone offering might get there also.

No Doubt was my personal favorite of the semi-finalists.
I had heard Janis Ian's Seventeen before but paid much closer attention to it when listening to it here and think that it was quite a brilliantly written song.

Really enjoyed the listening and scoring phase of this. Great way to listen to 350+ songs in a couple of weeks.

Felt there were surprisingly few WTF are they doing here but I scored male/female duets (or co-lead singers) very harshly.

It is funny. Like, I completely agree with you about Tatu, Macy Gray and Sinnerman (my nom too) but then completely disagree with you about Bette Davies Eyes

I still can’t get over Son of a preacher man going out in Round 1 to Bette Davis eyes!

I was also in two minds about recording me singing and making you listen to Loving You by Minnie Ripperton as punishment for it not going past qualifying

In my experience of previous games, there’s never any time to listen to the songs in the head to heads. If I don’t know a song I want to give it a listen before voting but then that round is usually over by the time I’m ready to vote on it.

Glad you liked the listening/scoring phase.

I agree Strawbs, it was a great system

If you were to do similar again I'd maybe cut down the number of nominations allowed per person, might have filtered out some of the dross
Or maybe even only including those that got two or more nominations, how many would that have been, do you know?

That’s me after a few Bacardi’s

Nitwit, less than 70 songs received more than one nomination.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

No matter the format of the competition, the problem still remains that the majority of you have terrible taste in music.

Oh wow, given how many of mine doubled up I assumed there'd be loads!

Agreed about Nina Simone - I expected at least one of her nominated songs to go far - I guess a bit of a unique voice so some people wouldn't like her.

On the other hand I never understood the appeal of Tatu. There was nothing exceptional about their music, it was just good marketing for a limited amount of time - and that faux lesbian video. . . cringe worthy stuff. . .

Lisa Canny is a friend of Mrs G&R
This is her new song, ye might give it a listen

Apologies strawbs if you have posted this already....... Wondering do we have a scoring chart for the songs that got through the early voting stages?
Was Sinead on the highest points or was there others higher than her?

Best version of Have You Seen The Rain?
If LeVar's Walrus is anything to go by, there are zillions of versions out there!

The decades threads are Kolido’s (I don’t want the 2010’s one)
