    Snow Patrol v Green Day


    After 4 votes, there was a 13 - 7 lead for Snow Patrol.

    Was this sign of things to come or could Green Day claw their way back into this?

    The next 3 scores saw it move to...

    19 - 16

    Offspring v Blur

    The first four votes gave a slender 2 point lead to The Offspring, so what would the next 3 votes produce?

    Semi-Final 1

    Snow Patrol v Green Day


    After 11 votes, Green Day had nipped ahead, 31 - 29.

    With one vote remaining, Snow Patrol needed at least a 2 point swing, meaning they needed either a 4-1 or 5-0 vote in their favour.

    Could they get it done?​

    Snow Patrol v Green Day


    31 - 29

    Green Day narrowly in front.

    One vote left.

    The first Finalist...






























    34 - 31

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!


    [​IMG]

    Green Day get over the line, after trailing most of the way!

    Which means that, after a very brave effort, Snow Patrol (@Marty McFly ) has falled just short of the final. Been a massive effort to make it to the Final 4. Well done.

    Semi-Final 2

    Offspring v Blur

    After all but 1 vote revealed, it was all square between Blur and The Offspring.

    It would all come down to the very last vote. 4-1.

    But to who?


    34 - 31


































    CONGRATULATIONS!!!



    [​IMG]

    The final 4-1 vote securing The Offspring a spot in the Final.​

    Which means that Britpop'ers, Blur (@Keano88 ) have been eliminated. So close! Great effort.
