ASFM Worldvision II: TRENDY VIEWING GALA 1 - Tonight, 7pm

[Kate]

I'll leave it til later if no-one else is about. @Apoca @BoysForSeles @octophone WHEN U WANT

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

I've nowt else on because the weather's shite so I'm happy to do this whenever everyone's free

And yes, I WILL be reusing jokes or straight up plagiarising other people's comments if I'm jealous of how many likes they got the first time.

 

[octophone]

Can we make it 1.30? I was watching old TOTP and missed the message.

 

[Kate]

I can do any time! I'm just going to be sat bingeing Parks & Rec in the meantime

 

[octophone]

Shall we go for a round 2pm then, give others a chance to come in?

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m still tucked up with covid lovelies much to my manager’s consternation but will endeavour to pop in and out. I’ll certainly use the commentary by you guys as a gauge.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

2pm then? I can see a few others skulking like skulkers in the thread, so fingers crossed a few of them might join the fray.

 

[Kate]

Alright then.

 

[octophone]

I'm ready to rock.

 

[octophone]

Fuck me, an Orange Walk is just mooching past. Anything sounds good after one of those.

 

[octophone]

GO!!!

 

[Kate]

ALRIGHT let's go

 

[octophone]

20 - Countdown Theme

 

[octophone]

Just the rest to score now.

 

[octophone]

OK, from the first few seconds of this video, I was not expecting a pop banger!

Sweet California - Bet On Me​

Standard ASFM opener...

 

[BoysForSeles]

I was expecting big lunged vocals….in Spanish. Not displeasing though.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

1. SPAIN Sweet California - Bet On Me

 

[Kate]

I like the turquoise hair. And the pink hair.

 

[Kate]

1. SPAIN Sweet California - Bet On Me

Oh are you doing this for us marvellous

 

[octophone]

Odd video - drew me in.

 

[Kate]

Cumming with fire

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Odd video - drew me in.

I only realised what was actually going on in it when I was doing the gif.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

2. GHANA Wiyaala - Coming With Fire

 

[Kate]

Enjoying this.

 

[octophone]

I only realised what was actually going on in it when I was doing the gif.

I;m not completely sure I've worked it out except in so far as the three girls "upstairs" don't realise they're dead...maybe?

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

Coming with fire is the absolute TITS.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

I;m not completely sure I've worked it out except in so far as the three girls "upstairs" don't realise they're dead...maybe?

Yeah, that's what I thought it was.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Coming with fire is the absolute TITS.

Oh hi!

 

[octophone]

2. GHANA Wiyaala - Coming With Fire

This is good - I could certainly listen her to sing.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

I love that she's far from a paying member of the hinged community. Nobody could pull those faces and claim to be playing with a full deck

 

[octophone]

Where's the fun in having a full deck? You'll end up as Tim Farron or something.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

I've checked and she's fully Ghanaian and lives/works there, so I assume she must be big enough to play international festivals if the clips towards the end of the video are anything to go by.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

3. PERU Renata Flores - Chañan Cori Coca

 

[BoysForSeles]

Ghana reminds me of something else, I liked it, need to revisit when I’m feeling more energised.

 

[octophone]

The panpipes at the start put me off but 60 seconds later, I am "vibing" as I believe the young 'uns call it.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

The start of the Peruvian song keeps making me think we're about to break into Pretty Green Eyes.

 

[Kate]

What language is Peru singing in? It doesn't match the subtitles. Oh and now the subtitles have vanished anyway. Not that I understood them either.

 

[Kate]

That didn't do much for me I'm afraid.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m going to be kind and say I’m sure Peru was a tough draw to receive. Feels like a grower. Perhaps.
