Songfactor's Choice (New Artists) Top 10 #221

[edna]

So has everyone over the age of 50

Not everybody... I love Bacharach but I'm not really a fan of HA's...

...except for gems like "This Guy's In Love With You" - Herb Alpert and other stuff...

...which, by way, seems to be one of Liam Gallagher's icons... and he's not 50 yet...

• Pride Of Man - Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968)
  
  
  
  
• Lonesome For A Dime - Buster Benton (1979)

Sunflower ~ Low (2001) youtube and mp3 stream

I decided against Broadway (So Many People), because, while equally as good, this one is more well known

When they found your body

Giant X's on your eyes

With your half of the ransom

You bought some sweet, sweet, sweet

Sweet sunflowers

And gave them to the night

Underneath the star of David

A hundred years behind behind my eyes

And with my half of the ransom

I bought some sweet, sweet, sweet

Sweet sunflowers

And gave them to the night

Wolf Like Me ~ TV on the Radio (2006) youtube and mp3 stream

Got a curse I cannot lift

Shines when the sunset shifts

When the moon is round and full

Gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind has changed

My body's framed,

But God I like it

My heart's aflame

My heart is strained

But God I like it

[BlueAngel]

^^ One for each.

"Strict Machine" - Goldfrapp (2003)

"The Drowners" - Suede (1992)

[Lea]

Your video was removed BlueAngel. I hope the one I replaced it with is ok

[BlueAngel]

Fine by me.

[Blue_In_Green]

Don't know how these two haven't made the list before, but anyway...

Miles Davis - Blue In Green

Marvin Gaye - Just To Keep You Satisfied

[chutzpah]

Marvin Gaye - Just To Keep You Satisfied

[pinkstones]

He has.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Something Beautiful - Trombone Shorty ft. Lenny Kravitz (2010)

Just a Little Overcome - Ollie and the Nightingales (1971)

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Defying Gravity (live) - Idina Menzel (2006) {YouTube}

If you want to hear the studio version of her pop remix of the song, here's the Grooveshark link --> mp3

I love that song! I nominated it a while back but I don't think anyone else voted for it. At least it will get two votes this time.

[Blue_In_Green]

So if the artist has already been in the competition before we can't vote for them? Wouldn't it make more sense to say that if a song has been in it before it can't be voted for? You are missing out on the opportunity of exposing people to a lot of songs thjey might not have heard.

[pinkstones]

My sister has the version that was done on Glee on her iPod, and I didn't care for it so I sought out the original. I love her voice, it's absolutely amazing.

If the artist has made the list before, you can't nominate them this week. The opening post explains the rules.

I'm a total Gleek so of course I love that version, but I must admit Idina smokes them. She is spectacular.

[Blue_In_Green]

Sorry about that ***embarrassed ***

I had a look at one of the other lists and assumed the rules would be the same in this one.

In that case I'll keep Mr Davis as one nominee and add:

Eric B. & Rakim - Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em

[pinkstones]

For the benefit of our final list compiler, here are Blue_In_Green's two nominations this week:

Blue In Green - Miles Davis (1959)

Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em - Eric B. & Rakim (1990)

In the future, you should post your noms like that -- it's easier for whoever started the thread to compile all the songs when it's time to vote.

Ooops, BTW....welcome to Songfacts!

[pinkstones]

I like a few versions of songs they've done. Like A Prayer, Lean On Me and Take a Bow, to be specific. I'm not a fan of the show, but like I said my sister is and she's got all this music on her iPod that she plays constantly. They're not bad.

[Blue_In_Green]

Thanks for the welcome!

I checked the Help section but I'm not sure how to link to the youtube files from this particular message board and make it so that just the song title and artist is displayed. Could someone please show me how?

Thanks.

[Blue_In_Green]

Don't worry. Figured it out. Thanks.

It's real simple. Write out your nominations like this:

[url = youtube link to song]Song - Artist (year of release)

Only without the spaces around the equal sign.

[Blue_In_Green]

Thanks!

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Welcome to SF, Blue In Green. Awesome nominations. Rakim has one of the best voices in the game.

[Blue_In_Green]

Thanks! He's my all-time favourite MC, without a doubt.

[Lucky]

Hey Blue in Green, welcome to the Ten. New blood, woohoo!

For the benefit of our final list compiler, here are Blue_In_Green's two nominations this week:

Blue In Green - Miles Davis (1959)

Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em - Eric B. & Rakim (1990)

Thank you!
