Members T_J_L Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 We still do it, and it still gets a pretty good response most of the time. Really depends on your audience. Pretty easy song to add... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy song to add... Filler for us at this point. Still decent crowd reaction and frankly I'm surprised it's lasted this long. But then again sometimes a song works because where it is in the setlist. And sometimes it works because people love to hear it. We have this sandwiched between Lady Gaga and Usher. Probably why it still keeps the dance floor moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Piling on with Grant and T_J_L; we still do it to a generally positive response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 RYG is the second of three "fairly recent" pop songs that we play at the tail end of our first set. Girls still sing along and dance to it. And it helps to set the tone for the second set where we play a lot of up-to-date pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We added You and I and its worked pretty well despite the fact we are as far from Gaga musically as you can get and still be on the planet earth.

Poker Face.... it's the one and the only song to do in my opinion. Everything else is filler. Pop artists have alot of hits but for reasons that are unexplainable there are some songs that just work every single time and for that reason there is no reason to replace them. For instance we have been playing 'Hot In Here' since 2004. It's never left the setlist, ever. We've played a handful of Flo'Rida songs yet 'Low' is still in the set since 2008. Poker face is just one of those songs everyone knows. And for the record, with a male singer, we're far away from accurately covering it too.

Members vanlatte Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I didn't even realize that was Pink....just one more reason to like her. That song seems to still have legs around my area and always gets a good reaction. And anything that gets the ladies dancing has a lot going for it...

Members kmart Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Anyone doing this tune? Does it still have legs? Thinking about adding it..... Rather than add a song that's almost 2years old, why not wait a couple weeks to see how the singles from her latest album seem to fare and add one of those instead and be ahead of the game?I believe her album came out yesterday.

Members Crownman Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 From what I've observed Raise Your Glass goes over much better in the last set when everybody, especially the ladies, are nice loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, maybe its just me, but it seems ANYTHING goes over much better when everybody, including the ladies are "nicely loaded". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 just heard Blow Me a few minutes ago on the radio... hmmm. it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urca Posted September 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Heard it earlier myself, sounds like a good one. We already do 'So What' and 'U & Ur Hand' by her, our singer has a range very close to hers so they're all easy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanlatte Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 I need to get out more...had no idea there is a song called "Blow Me" The better part of discretion tells me not to search for this until I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 just heard Blow Me a few minutes ago on the radio... hmmm. it could work. We've had it in our break music and have been talking about doing it for a few weeks now. Amy said the part right before the chorus ("just when it can't get worse") could be a troublesome jump, but the rest should be good to go. We're gonna have to "PHuck it up" (as our drummer affectionately calls it) a bit for our instrumentation, but it's definitely not challenging.

Adam has a high voice but- uggh that may be tuff for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink has some amazing pipes. We've done a couple of other songs of hers that were a little rough to pull off, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
