Hello AdeyC!

Not sure which song game theme I am picking for, but I am so excited about this I just couldn't wait! 0:)

Theme for next game: Potential Beyoncé Covers

Say what you want about her talent or singing ability, but Beyoncé has an undeniable appeal to the masses. Her ability to market and perform reverberates her voice, style, and messages around the world.

So what's a song that you would like to see Beyoncé cover, to add that Beyoncé twist?

Pick a song that Beyoncé has not previously sang or covered (whether by herself or part of a collab/group), and judge all submitted songs through the lens of Beyoncé.

A list of recorded Beyoncé songs is here (songs that you cannot choose):
Wiki - List of Beyonce Recorded Songs
Wiki - List of Destiny's Child Recorded Songs

THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME

Some time ago one of the nicest guys on the forum Sergio (sfar) tested out an idea he had for a Song Game, which involved people nominating a song – then at the end of it the songs were listed and people voted on their top three songs.

A few months later, as a Eurovision Song Contest nut, I had the thought of bringing the Eurovision element into it along with the voting system used there. We jointly once did some TT Olympic and TT Football specials and always made a great team so I checked with Sergio that he was OK for me to expand on his original idea, which he was, along with adding an interactive element of an interview with all participants about the songs and the game in general where everyone could put forward ideas and suggestions about the game, it's all really thanks to Sergio that this game started :worship: .

I once did a TT Eurovision special and gave the winner a heart-attack when I informed him that the Eurovision tradition is that the winner hosts the following year - instead the winner picks the next category.

Following that on 14th November 2013, the first ever TF Pick The Best Song Game was started.






HOW TO JOIN IN AND PLAY THE GAME


1. Send me a PM with any song that relates to the category above - along with the You Tube link if possible.

2. Make clear which is the song title and which is the artist.

3. When the deadline is over, I'll post all the songs in the thread (without the name of the user who sent it) for everyone to vote.

4.The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.



For those who haven’t played before, anyone is welcome to play – here’s a link to all previous games which are housed at the TF Pick The Best Song Game Forum to see how it works :-​

- You can send your song until WEDNESDAY 16th DECEMBER
- I'll publish all songs received on THURSDAY 17th DECEMBER
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list

RANKINGS POINTS

The following rankings points are given at the end of each game :





Although the game didn't immediately start at one every week, it was fairly early in the run of games that it became a weekly game, so to make things simple I've counted every game as one week.

Rankings are compiled from the last 52 games - the best 16 scores during the last 52 games count to the players total ranking.

With huge thanks and acknowledgement to Markus for doing a lot of the inputting of and clearing the then backlog :worship:

I just checked and no actual Beyonce song has been sent before? :eek: I would rather send one :oh:

EDIT: Only 1, Crazy In Love.

I'm shocked that no Beyonce songs have been submitted before. :eek:
Actually for the record, it is not true that no Beyonce song has previously appeared in these games. A live version of Beyonce singing "Crazy In Love" was actually entered in game 51, the Music Dealmaker game. For the recorded it finished 16th in the semifinals.

And Slazorin did edit his post to mention this as well. ;)

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 103 – Potential Beyoncé Covers - Nominate

It's technically an open game except nothing sung by Beyonce before. :umbrella:

So if you want to submit an instrumental, you can, but it might take some even more imagination on the part of the listeners.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 103 – Potential Beyoncé Covers - Nominate

It's technically an open game except nothing sung by Beyonce before. :umbrella:
Playing seriously, means a bit relevantly, I have to consider if she could do something of the song I'd submit, if her style would apply to that song without hurting my taste for it. I'm trying to find a bitchy song with no soul and full body language. Something with a sexy beat that would be up her alley.

I first thought of a sexy song with great lyrics, but I think she could only ruin it, especially the lyrics. So I only focus on a sexy beat with very basic words if any.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 103 – Potential Beyoncé Covers - Nominate

I'm shocked that no Beyonce songs have been submitted before. :eek:

I'm going to put a bit more thought into this one as my UK song is currently being disrespected all over the place.

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 103 – Potential Beyoncé Covers - Nominate

Hmmmm … not sure whether this game is amazingly open or amazingly restrictive.

Anyway, I have a couple of ideas about songs that Beyonce's voice might sound nice with (at least in my imagination). Not sure whether others will agree ...

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – Game 103 – Potential Beyoncé Covers - Nominate

My favourite Beyonce song might be Halo, and there's another song I've thought about nominating that could be Haloish in her hands ...
