Just waiting on 1 confirmation, and we will be good to go!

 

Before posting the results, a word about the penalty scoring. Beause of the shift in the voting structure of the Jury (awarding/distributing points as opposed to ranking), each penalty is in fact worth 3 points, as 3 points is a majority of a given jurors score, effectively winning that vote, if that makes sense.

Just wanted to put that out there, because this wil be in place for the final also... And even more pronounced, but will get into that more later.

Anyhow, am ready to go, so time to get on with the show!

 

So if you went for a song in 90 ... Your really +3???

 

Semi Final A

The Jam v Queen

On paper this looked like it could be the toughest of the 3 match-ups.

Would that prove to be the case, once the 2 songs were graded though?

Time to find out.

The first 3 votes were:














































4-1



3-2



4-1

Progressive Scores

THE JAM 4 3 4 (11)
QUEEN 1 2 1 (4)
​

 

Semi-Final B

The Smiths v The Pogues

One match-up that was pure 80's head to head.

Who would be emerging victorious and on their way to the final, and who would be joining the Jury?

The first 3 votes were...

Progressive Scores

SMTH 1 1 2 (4)
POGS 4 4 3 (11)

Semi-Final C

UB40 V REM

Both artists went into this round carrying penalties, but would it matter in the end? Who knows? Well, I do, but not telling just yet. :bbpd:

The first 3 votes were...

Semi Final A

The Jam v Queen

When last we visited this match up, the score was in favour of



11-4


But with a penalty still to be taken into account, would the early lead be enough to offset this?

What impact would the next 3 votes have?
