OMG, this should be an exciting theme :lol: so wait are we still doing two songs or it's one this round?

I can't think of any one-hit wonders off the top of my head other than "A Thousand Miles" from Vanessa Carlton :unsure:

A Thousand Miles is NOT a one-hit wonder. She also sang 'Ordinary Day' and 'White Houses' both of which were also very popular :<3
My really bad stats

Am I the only person that thinks a fine frenzy didn't actually sing, and just let a Youtube cover of Stay Beautiful play the entire time? It's not that hard to tell...

That's the thing I hate about ORGs the most. It's a bloody job without getting any money. Basically, you're trading a large junk of your social life for online cred in a forum of 50 people.

i know right? lol I loved your "Come On Eileen"
My 90s song last round was a one hit wonder too.
"Black Velvet" is actually listed as a one hit wonder on one of those two links I listed.
One of the guys needs to sing "I'm Too Sexy"

I'm shocked I'm even saying this right now but I've been catching up and after Alffy's performance of ALONE I must root for him. :unsure:

That's pretty cool, trickmind. :) Some random guy faved my Sober song here.


Can't wait for the next theme. Still hoping for Tv opening credits. :lol:

It's so weird when that happens, some random guy favorited barbie girl, and I thought it was Kyle for a long time, because this guy's first name was Kyle but it turned out it was someone random. lol
Oooh I'd like TV opening credit songs too!
Funny my husband always says how much he HATES The Smiths and then he loved the opening credits to Charmed. I'm like um...darling...that The Smiths.

trickmind is my new bff. girls alliance please

Girls Alliance! <3


Oh and soundcloud have taken down the specific songs that Kevin put in tickets about Rehab, Lovefool, and Joleen, but as long as he doesn't put in more tickets on whatever I submit this round it should be OK. It's not like they've closed the whole account, they've just been taking down each song as he puts in a ticket about it.
I've explained about him to soundcloud and they said they don't tolerate harassment and will be investigating. Just like xtranormal said they'd investigate him for making an account in my full real life name. However given that he has a revolving IP I certainly don't expect it to come to much. Nor do I care as long as I can just submit my songs for the next round without them being deleted. :rolleyes:

Are we allowed to do songs that are one-hit wonders for one artist, even if they were big hits for other artists? Like "All By Myself" is listed as a one-hit-wonder for Eric Carmen but it's famous from Celine Dion too and obv she's not a one-hit-wonder.

I'm not doing that song btw :lol: waaaay too big!

I know I'm not in charge of this, but I strongly believe that themes offer guidance, not strict rules. Your competitors will likely be quick to point out any discrepancies between your song choice and the theme's restrictions. The more explaining you have to do, the less respectable your performance will likely appear. So it's up to you to decide if you want to risk little diversions from the theme in order to pursue a particular song choice.

ETA: For what it's worth, in the case of All by Myself, I'd say it absolutely qualifies as a One-Hit Wonder. But other people may disagree. So it's up to you to weigh the risk (potentially alienating people who don't think your song fits the theme) against the reward (getting to perform that particular song).

Thanks PT! I think I'll go for it, I was thinking of choosing a song that was originally done by a band and is a one-hit wonder for another band that covered it. It's listed on the wiki page of one-hit wonders so it should be good.

I can't believe Janis Joplin is listed as a one-hit wonder :blink: aff I think you'd do really well with "Piece of My Heart" - also, 'Heaven' is there! :P

And you can do it, but it'll probably cost you votes. For me personally, something like that doesn't count as a one-hit wonder but if you want to do it, go right ahead since it "technically" can count as one.

Oh and I originally meant you should do one song but since we did two last week, TWO THIS WEEK TOO!

These are due Sunday night at 10:00pm (July 31st). If anyone has problems getting them in by then, lemme know in advance.

Honestly, I'd take issue with that just like I took issue with people doing cover songs for the decade themes.

Wouldn't it depend on who originally wrote the song?
I've recorded one that was written by a guy and it's his only hit, but then it was covered later by a big name artist. I shouldn't think that would disqualify it as a One Hit Wonder. It's on all the One Hit Wonder lists. Not saying what it is, cause I think this shit should be a surprise.
I'm just bummed that apparently Kylie Minogue is considered a TWO HIT wonder by USA standards. :(

Anyone want to start an elaborate voting alliance so we can make sure trickmind loses and shuts the fuck up and goes about her life?

Preferably mean enough to have her not even post here since she does not play ORGs?

PM me if interested.

I really would think it depends on who originally wrote and performed the song. If it was their only hit in the USA then it's their one hit wonder.
I hardly get any time to watch TV what happens on American Idol if someone chooses a song that isn't right for the theme?

It's not like I've never played in an ORG. And technically this is an ORG since it's an Online Reality Show based Game.
YOU invited me by PM to play in your ORG and never got back to me when I said yes.
Anyhoo I don't know you and don't know what your issue is.
