– Faye Wong (25 albums)
– Leo Sayer (25 albums)

SPOILER: Click to show

{More long term stuff and miscellaneous}– Laura Nyro (I'd be interested in eventually adopting the Laura Nyro thread, doing my own research and stuff)
– Judie Tzuke (Already have notewatched her first two albums, I believe, it's just not research I'm particularly interested in finishing right now)
– Cássia Eller (I also did her first two albums, however I lost a bit of my interest so research is on hold, but I'll come back to it eventually)
– Takako Mamiya (She had more priority in my previous claims post, but due to the fact that she only has one album, I'm not very interested in doing it right now)
– Joanna Wang and other collabs?? (Idk I think Scorpio wanted to collab her with me, generally I'm very open to collabs in general and whatnot, especially because I haven't done any yet lol)

I may be down to hop on some of those city pop collabs sometime in the future, especially those really big ones since splitting up the workload there is probably best for everyone involved lol

Only just noticed this, just want to pipe in and say that I think priority would go to myself since I notewatched half of the OP thread myself - the only reason I hadn't claimed it prior is because I'm not sure whether it'd need a takeover anyhow since it's complete to my knowledge.

I asked Sawyer about it and when she mentioned that you had done half of the thread as well and that I should probably ask you instead I said "well but if Alex is taking care then it's in good hands" and Sawyer responded by saying that you probably weren't because hadn't been around here lately, which was true.

I also discussed with her what I could bring to the thread, because that's obviously very important, if I can't bring anything to the thread, there's really not much of a point in adopting. Eventually, after talking with her, I came to the conclusion that, if things stood as they were, I would do my own research on her (which I did, by the way, I notewatched "More Than a New Discovery" back in 2019 in its entirety before finding out Laura already had a thread), I would include some live performances that are currently not on the thread (f.e, Ain't No Mountain High Enough) and I'd also upload the clips to 4shared (because the clips in the thread are not very high quality and they're on YouTube).

However, this was all long term thinking, I always recognized that many conditions would have to be met for it to ever happen, one of them being no interest from your part.

But honestly, I reckon my only mistake in this was not contacting you, but the thing is that, Laura is very low priority in my own post by admission, precisely because of all the reasons you and I mentioned, but also putting this here was very much a form of making my interest known and possibly opening discussion.

[Alex61]

At the same time, in no way was she speaking on my behalf. I'm not entirely sure why you contacted her in the first place considering I am also an admin and I'd done half of the current thread anyway - maybe you were unaware of the latter, but even after being told it was mine you continued to contact someone else which is what's peeved me off more than anything here.

I don't want to sound unfair or anything, but if it is a low priority to you (and considering it's complete and I have priority as one of the original threadmakers), I'll probably be posting the thread myself at some point over the next few days since there's still not a lot more to add. The things you've suggested are definitely helpful, but I wouldn't consider those things priorities for ownership over several albums' worth of research I'm afraid. Otherwise, there's no need for a thread to be reresearched when it was already complete and up to a good standard as far as I'm aware.

I'm pretty sure I didn't specifically call Sawyer to ask her about the thread, I brought it up casually in a conversation, because we're friends and talk about things that do not relate to her role on the forum, although yes, the fact that she is an admin helped, simply because it means that she understands better the processes and whatnot, such as the thread adoption one.

Also it was all in one convo and it died there so I didn't "continue to contact", I mean I did, but not to talk about that.

And yeah, like I said I consider not contacting you to have been a mistake, however it's not like I just forgot or overlooked it, I actually had a reason for it, more than one actually, 1st: even if I committed to doing the research, it wouldn't have been now, it'd likely have taken awhile, and 2nd: you were not around at the time, I know you have IRL stuff and just didn't feel like rushing you to make a call on something like that when I'm not even interested in doing anything right now, yes I might have mentioned it to Sawyer back then, but that was just a thought, a conversation, and I took note of the fact that you were the responsible for the thread/ half of the thread, I was just waiting, I have other projects now, you probably do as well, why bother NOW? And either way, posting it here made you aware anyway, you were never at risk of me creeping behind your back and doing the thread without you knowing, trust me, I would've contacted you sooner or later.

And ultimately, this is just silly at this point because I did say that one of the conditions for it to happen was no interest from your part, there is an interest, thus I'll not pursue that anymore, in fact that's all I would say normally, I just felt like your response was blaming me a bit for something, and I don't like that, so I did my best to try and clarify anything that could've been misunderstood.

If that is the case then I apologise; I assumed you'd gone out of your way to contact her about the thread specifically which is why I was quite confused and slightly peeved.

Nevertheless, I do still plan on posting the thread sometime over this coming week so if you have anything you want to add please do let me know as I shall do a bit of tidying up prior to posting

[fountain30]

[Anacrusis]

In light of today's unfortunate news, I'd like to make a thread as a tribute to Gilbert Gottfried (rest in peace).

Through my research, it looks like there might be enough material to put his thread in Part-Time Singers. He had a notable range and sang a fair amount in TV and podcasts, though often without instrumental context.

For now, I'll have his thread up in Off-the-Wall soon, hopefully in an hour or so. If it would be better to add his thread to WIP instead, please let me know. Thanks.

Edit: Gilbert Gottfried's thread is now in Off-the-Wall. I've done as much research as I could, and the sources are cited in a thread spoiler. It looks like there might be enough material for his thread to be in Part-Time Singers, but it depends on what we're willing to count. Many of his notes came from clips of him genuinely singing a tune, and many times for entire verses, but without an instrumental backing. The sources should help determine their countability, if questionable.

Please let me know if you'd like me to include this in WIP, and if you have any suggestions for polishing the thread or for adding notes I might have missed. On this point, I'd like to add that, with the exception of a few well-known moments (e.g. The infamous Aristocrats joke, the "You fool!" shout on Hollywood Squares, his CollegeHumor skit on 50 Shades of Grey, etc.), I tried to mostly research clips of him singing, rapping, or doing something musical. But either way, all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I'd like to grab up Graham Bonnet if no one is against it.

Platypus are you still thinking of taking that thread back? I remember you mentioning interest in doing so a while back, but nothing since then.

[Platypus]

I'm moving back in with my amish parents so I probably won't be around to tend to it. The research is fairly good IIRC, so I wouldn't bother re-doing it, but there are a few songs/albums missing that I'd like to see done.

[Brenda]

I'd like to claim Paul Williams (Songwriter).

[Bes]

I'd like to claim Shamir

I wish all the best for you, moving back to your parents home couldn't of been an easy decision to make.

SPOILER: Click to show

Johnny "Guitar" Watson
Loredana Groza
(Had them edited in an older post but felt like it would be better to announce them here)

might try Leslie Cheung (if no one's interested), maybe msftz, but her thread would be small, possibly threadless singers.
might try Lenny Kravitz again (also if no one's interested, on that same note sorry for deleting the threadless singers post, read too late we aren't supposed to do that).

Also Bumkey (if no one's interested).

Adina Howard (if no one's interested).

I'm also dropping Elena Cernei, maybe Bodo too, but i could get back to him some century.

[BAZanine]

Alan hull

I'd like to claim Neil Fallon (oh yeah also Philip Oakey)
