Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round One "Pareidolia"

Fairly sure you didn't make the cut and there is NO WAY you're getting reinstated but we shall see, I guess ... j$ You could've just said "awesome, looking forward to it, but in case you're looking to get reinstated, we're not sure if we're doing that this year or not" instead of being an...

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Four "Carte Blanche"

Wow, that playlist was a real journey. Too bad they didn't have the Chris Cornell Bond theme. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1d530 Also, we've reached the Nur Ein halfway point! Four weeks down, four to go. I am a sucker for Chris Cornell, in case anyone wants to pander. Just saying :P Typicall...

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Two "Chupacabra"

I'm sorry to hear, rain. I wish you a speedy recovery! OK, sorry to be "that guy" but ... I'm basically the same as Glenn, but I'll throw out another bit in the hope it helps. For reference, I don't read any liner notes or lyrics before judging because I care more about the performance and...

Re: Nur Ein XV Round One "The Handbook"

I finally got some time to write reviews for everyone. Sorry for last week, but I just couldn't get the time/energy/focus to write them all out in time. Both this and last weeks' songs were all amazing, and I loved all of them in some way. These reviews are all mostly vocal-focused because that's wh...

Re: Nur Ein XV

I suppose it's my turn to put out my judging methodology, and I'll try and be brief. I think I've mostly been consistent if you've listened to Mike and I's show The New Ugly where we judge the songs already, but I generally care about these things, in this order from most to least important. 1. Is i...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Four "No Memory"

Sorry we are so late this week; I have been sick off my butt, so we didn't even record until yesterday. I also edited on a plane, so if there are some sound issues, let me know! New Ugly Round 4!

I sadly don't go there anymore, but I was a karaoke host for about 3 years before I moved to NYC, from 2014 to the end of 2017. I miss that place so much! You can see my face over here https://twitter.com/bennyharv3. The regulars still know me, and I am usually known as the guy who sings Dream On. ...

Re: Song Fight! Live 2019 Location

If two nights of Songfight Live isn't enough singing, this is my favorite karaoke bar. It's in a Middle Eastern restaurant/hookah lounge/belly dancing place/gay bar in the middle of a trailer park on top of a hill at the edge of town. STOP. THE. PRESSES. I PROBABLY HAVE SEEN YOU BEFORE. Ben used to...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Sorry we are so late to the party, but the New Ugly episode for this week is finally here! I've fallen way behind, so it's not the cleanest edit. I did try and fix the volumes of everything, so I think it's all better now, but I didn't add the full songs because I don't want to fuss with the volume ...

Hey everyone!

Due to some scheduling oddities, the New Ugly won't be live streaming our review of this round. We'll still release a podcast episode as usual.
