    I'm like 95% sure I'm one of the 4 :D

    Still, it's the 5% grain of hope that kills you

    Me too.

    I dunno. I don't *think* what I entered could garner so much vitriol. It's probably a somewhere in the middle score. Unless LeVar has a partiicular gear to grind about the artist.

    Just so people are aware, I have all 7 rounds ranked and notes (albeit not particularly in-depth ones) written up at this stage, but I'm not entering the scores into the spreadsheet until just before the reveal everyday, plus I'm sh*t at maths just by looking at things, so I have no idea what the end result will be myself, and won't until the final reveal...

    I want to be surprised...

    Yeah, just had a look. I could see it could possibly divide opinions, particularly if you're a fan of the original artist.

    I've always said I hate coming somewhere in the middle :p

    You're like Schodinger's cat now LeVar, simultaneously dead to me and not ;)
    At least I don't have to dock you points in tonight's Team Sheep

    To be fair, a great song that's actually about being black felt a bit like entering a cheat code. It was the only song I considered. Wouldn't normally be my type of music, and I only listened to it originally because we're both from Streatham, but I love it. In fact, I love nearly all of Psychodrama, his album

    I agree with Zaph about the Brits performance, that was epic. I felt like I should enter the original though

    ...tomorrow's Weather based outings, which includes four songs I absolutely can't stand and the worst four songs of the entire Walrus, and I don't hold back in my notes either... ;)
    I feel bad for those 4 people :pac:
    Not as bad as I feel bad for you and your joyless, dead soul if you think that of my submission though :D

    Glad you like Prince LeVar. I wasn't aware that you are a fan. Like you said I thought the song was very fitting for the current situation as it tells a story. I am never sure if people like that album as it was a change in his sound.

    As for tomorrow, I am confident I won't be one of those four songs :D

    Nice and simple, stripped back, just a man and his guitar which I really enjoyed. I'd love to see this performed live in a bar somewhere, as you really just can't beat live Blues, as I mentioned on the previous song.

    That was recorded in 1920. Obviously Randy Newman was a big fan

    If it was sung well, it'd be a bit better, but the vocals were just off and they didn't even have the excuse of it being live or anything, that's the actual album recording.

    As I said though, there were no songs I really hated here, same goes for all other rounds, except for tomorrow's Weather based outings, which includes four songs I absolutely can't stand and the worst four songs of the entire Walrus, and I don't hold back in my notes either... ;)
    Aside from those four, it's another really really strong round overall.

    going by my points so far, i'm worried
