This is one of Scott's new features, involving tone deaf blokes called Barry trying to recreate the tunes of the likes of Justin Timberlake... I found it pretty amusing.

I think he could widen the goalposts though; to move on to Garry-oke, Harry-oke... you get the gist.

Anyone else like it?

PS. Can UM's IrishBaz sing, I wonder...?

They could have put the budget into getting a better jingle. I was expecting all fireworks for the Barryoke! I'm undecided about this feature. It makes me smile, but perhaps I'm missing that one a bit. I think I'm swaying towards hating it right now.

Hi there! Don't go accusing KingTuts of spelling your name wrong, she's very touchy about spellings ;)

It took about six times cos I kept going into american rap mode man, it's a lot harder than you'd think. In the end I had to do it with no music cos its just too easy to slip into eminem's shoes ha! Oh and just for the record Scott actually changes the words so you HAVE to say Barrie, we're not all just self obsessed :)

Hello,

I'm Gemma who spoke to scott about Barry number one this morning (justin timberlake barry) he played it again while i was on air and told me to imagine he was singing to me. hahaha! i would like to have all the barry's / barries sing to me and be a barry judge!!

Rather you than me... You make it sound like it could be an X Factor style TV show. I imagine BBC Three would show it... heh.

no, it was funny though, i text in cos barry sounded like he was dancing whilst singing, its just a bit of fun and made me chuckle (not much does before 8am!)

Hey - Were you Gemma from Plymouth? I was on the bus at Roborough (You should know where i mean!) and listening on my phone. So often on radio 1 you hear the DJs speak to people up country but i took extra attention to you because you were from Plymouth! :D

Good Job!

I reckon you could be a great Barry-oke Judge haha :D:D

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
