I could have posted the Brownlow version

The playlist is littered with non-amazing vocals

Not that I’m being elitist and snooty. Speaking purely objectively: there are songs with okay vocals, but certainly not amazing

There aren't that many rock/pop songs with truly amazing vocals, that's more for genres like opera or classical which aren't popular genres here.

I'll probably just vote for the songs I like best anyway like I usually do rather than the songs which have the best vocal performances.

Dahhh I cooked it real bad. Been sitting on a proper ace number for ages and it would have flown beautifully in here but I didn't think of it.
What I have actually submitted is worthwhile though.

About to listen, hope it's a sizzla!

 

[vanders]

About to listen now too. I will be basing my votes on number of goosebumps received.

Enter it in the next round #Theme Couldashouldawoulda

If you give my song 5 that is, and at least 5 others

I've clocked three so far. Thought there was a fourth but it was a piece of quinoa.

Sure thing too easy.

It's a subjective theme. For instance I understand that sustained melismatic undulation (where a singer turns one syllable into twenty - synonymous with your Whitney Houstons and Mariah Careys) is supposed to showcase their amazing vocal range and be impressive on a technical level, I personally find it grating.

Yeah, that ****en shits me too. Even worse when they stick their hand out and move it up and down accordingly to the notes they're singing as though they're using sign language to explain what they're doing to deaf people.

I posted this earlier in the thread but it's so fitting:

I feel slightly let down that she didn't sign "And I E I will always love you".

 

[Bet on Blue]

lmao at all of the above replies!

 

[vanders]

I was a tad underwhelmed by the first half of the playlist. 2nd half is great so far though

 

[Loonerty]

If I'd realised there was a version of this that wasn't the one directly from The Voice I would've nommed it.
One of few times a voice has actually amazed me.

I love that cover. Would have guaranteed votes from me.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Boted.

UPDATE

8 sets of votes have been counted
1 song is off to a pretty decent bloody lead
7 songs have Billys
Some surprising songs on donuts

I agree. I know it's a theme idea I gave MEB but would have been better as an earlier theme. It's one of those themes where you need to whore it up.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Just counted another 3 sets of votes and the leader is well out in front boy oh boy wowee

Don't worry, I've got a great theme ready for when I win.
