Re: TMT Special! Nominations: Recent releases (after feb 2nd 2023)

[Barclamïu da Miéletz]

Will go with Stromae's Alors on danse

[Gjermund Higraff]

Christine and the queens - Saint Claude

Stromae - Fils de joie

[Glüc]

Kinda wanted to nominate Stromae as well (and probably will later), but something different for now:

Noir Désir - L'homme pressé

Angèle ft. Roméo Elvis - Tout Oublier

[Glüc]

There are 18 spots left! Everyone now gets one additional nomination every 24 hours after their previous nomination(s)

[Glüc]

France Gall - Ella elle l'a

[Glüc]

Slightly over 24 hours left to vote on the current groups (in the other thread)!

Anyone has any suggestions re how to increase participation (esp for the voting)?

[Gjermund Higraff]

Not for this run, sorry. I guess the categories have been "too special" to be able to keep the enthusiasm of the regular competition, perhaps? I have to admit, "unusual time signatures" sounds a bit nerdy, as an example 😂

Anyway, my additional nomination for the french section:

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Complainte pour Ste-Cathérine

[Glüc]

Jacques Brel - Amsterdam

[Gjermund Higraff]

Serge Gainsbourg - Vu de l'extérieur

[Glüc]

Stromae - Papaoutai

[Gjermund Higraff]

Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour moi

[Glüc]

Noir Désir - Le vent nous portera

[Gjermund Higraff]

Françoise Hardy - Le temps de l'amour

[Gjermund Higraff]

I just needed some inspiration to come up with an additional nomination, so I found a video called "My top 100 songs in french from the 80s". Listened through it and liked two. One has already been nominated, and the other was in the last regular TMT20, so didn't want to do it again. So then I came up with this:

Kraftwerk - Tour de France

[Glüc]

[Gjermund Higraff]

I hope it's not against the spirit of the category that the video includes english subtitles (don't know how accurate they are either)

Jacques Brel - Le moribond

[Glüc]

Stromae - Formidable

Again, we're not getting enough voters in the voting thread to continue.

Should we even continue with this edition? I'm not very hopeful about participation going up for french lyrics or recent songs..

[Gjermund Higraff]

I wonder where people went. There were more people nominating categories and possibly also the covers section, or is my memory faulty? Were the categories too limiting perhaps? Usually you get a couple of extra nominations, now it's a struggle finding enough nominations I actually want to nominate in each of the categories 😂 At least the recent songs category is a bit more general than everything except the covers one, so perhaps it'll bring back some interest. I may be delusional, though.

[Gjermund Higraff]

In the meantime, I'll just make another nomination.

Joe Dassin - Les Champs-Elysées

[Gjermund Higraff]

Edith Piaf - Les Trois Cloches
