The Smogon Factor - Round 2

[Accent]

THE SMOGON FACTOR

Round 2 ~ 70s
Hosted by jumpluff and Ace Matador, co-hosted by Accent​

Welcome to the second round of the Smogon Factor karaoke contest! This round is 70s songs. Any song that was released between the 1st of January in 1970 and the 31st of December in 1979 is acceptable. A simple Google search will be enough to find out if the song you'd like to pick is appropriate, and if you lack inspiration, here are some key artists:

Some artists from the 70s

• ABBA
• AC/DC
• Bee Gees
• Bob Marley
• Deep Purple
• The Eagles
• Elvis Presley
• The Jackson 5
• Janis Joplin
• Led Zeppelin
• Ramones
• The Who

We ask that you submit your song choice to the hosts as soon as possible, as there's a limit of thwo people maximum doing a specific song. You have two weeks to record, at which time voting will go up, so have fun singing!

When you've done your recording, please send the file to jumpluff, Ace Matador or Accent (Accent is recommended for now) so we can upload it to the Smogon Factor's YouTube Channel. By the way, a personal favourite of mine to record with is Audacity, though Google will yield other alternatives if you can't use it!
If you have upload your song on your own channel, please follow this format for the title:
R2: Singer - Name of song

And now, the moment you all waited for: THE SURVIVORS!

i will be singing Journey - Don't stop believin'

 

[Kinneas]

Edit: I've changed my mind about three times since posting my first choice, so I'm gonna retract it.

 

[Accent]

The system and the results have been changed. The 16 submissions with the most votes were saved; since shade and The_Chaser were tied with 12 votes each on the 16th spot, they were both saved.

I deeply apologise to those who were given false hopes and to competitors as a whole. The new list is in the OP.

If you have any comment about the hosting or the competition in general please PM me in order to keep this thread clean of controversy, drama etc.

Thanks, please continue as if nothing happened :)

 

[Hipmonlee]

To have lost a singing contest to shade..

This is a hard day for me.

Have a nice day.

 

[Badal]

K I'm going to be singing:
"I'm on a highway to hell"- AC/DC

Singing: We will rock you- Queen.
unless I think of something else!

 

[KnightoftheWind]

Darn it all, I was in R2 this morning, then when I come back, I'm out. This makes me sad :(. I'll probably do a guest submission though.

I did have a nice day.

thanks

 

[LonelyNess]

Carry on, my wayward sons.

 

[shade]

currently can't decide between:

Commodores - Easy

10CC - Dreadlock Holiday

 

[Hipmonlee]

Also, anyone who sings wuthering heights will get my vote guaranteed.

[edit] - at pitch

Have a nice day.

 

[Bucky]

O___O I have no idea what to sing and it's driving me nuts.

 

[Kinneas]

I was hoping to cover

Tom Jones - She's a Lady

But I can't find a Karaoke version on youtube or anywhere. If anybody could help me out with this I'd appreciate it a lot. I've already recorded the vocals but I have no backing track to put it over, and I'd rather not try and play it over the original song.

 

[6A9 Ace Matador]

backing track is not required

 

[Kinneas]

No, but it would sound dumb without one.

 

[Bucky]

No, but it would sound dumb without one.

I dunno if either of those will actually work, but worth a shot right? Good luck! Have you tried torrenting it?

 

[pookar]

hmm let me just submit this

pink floyd - have a cigar

feel free to utube it

 

[Kinneas]

For my entry, Kinneas presents The Jacksons - Rockin Robin (1972)


I would also like to share with you a cover of Queen - We Are The Champion by a friend of mine, GEC's and Havak's. His name is foodking aka Shaun James Tysoe and he is quite possibly the greatest vocalist of our time.

 

[LonelyNess]

Well played, Kinneas.

Well played. :)

 

[makiri]

I'll be doing Rapper's Delight.

 

[Accent]
