Listening now, my *.

 

Votes are now all in. Results incoming.

 

Group A

So let's just cut to the chase here a bit.

There are six people hoping for a way back in.

Unfortunately, it will not be @Tim-Time 1888 who didn't submit a song, as he strongly advocated not wanting to claim a redemption spot. As such to honour his request I posted a song in keeping with the theme on his behalf but didn't think it would be enough to earn that redemption, and was proven right, by Aqua. Tim did vote for Group B though, and am appreciative of this.

@Idioteque will also not be in the Quarter Final draw, as his selection of * Save the Queen was seen by some voters somewhat cynically, and voted accordingly.


@JC Anton hopes of James Blunt also fell short. While a song that is not that bad on the occasional hearing, it's repeated airplay at the time when it was first released was annoying as all * to the point that can understand why it was put up, but it was not to be.

Group A Standings

JBNT 3 1 5 2 2 4 16
AQUA 1 2 4 3 4 3 17
GSTQ 6 4 1 1 1 5 18

* Save The Queen in third ffs.

 

A new low for TC

 

Group B

Once again cutting to the chase...

@Keano88 attempted to turn(er) the voters apathy for all things Sevconian to his advantage backfired as most voters saw through this tactical song nomination, much like what happened in the other group with GSTQ.

@Officer Doofy hoped that apathy for metal would also help clinch him a spot at redemption, but again there was enough that saw through this, or perhaps could appreciate some of the technical speed and skill that was on offer.

@CalgaryBhoy was the first of 2 people that was forced to make a second choice, ironically, both people wanted the same song - Rebecca Black's Friday - as their first pick. As it was, the Canuck's apathy for cross border nationalism fell on deaf ears, as the Star Spangled Banner may annoy, but yet still waves.

I gave it 6th place.

I don’t know how these people can sleep at night.

 

Simply the best favourite

 

Hunreal.

 

Some tactical voting going on here. They were both clearly the worst. Hunbelieveable

 

Group A

So with Tim, Anton and Idio already out of contention it meant that it was now out of Minty, Pin or Winter.

Despite it being 3 people's first pick, it was @Minty who was the fastest to nominate Rebecca Black. And not gonna lie, if I had been in this comp this would have been my go to song for all the wrong reasons also. Utter garbage. But as it turned out, it wasn't enough to get him back into the draw for the QF.

Leaving Leslie Mann and Ka.

Who will it be?

@Pinstripe or @WINTER TIME

There was only 1 point in it. ​

I assume you voted me last, fellow Celtic fan?

 

Aye I did haha

 

Group B

With Keano, Doofy and Calgary out of the running, a three horse race was about to become two.

By just a single point, @Marty McFly fell agonizingly short in his quest. But having those that had to agonize through that Sweatshirt song is something that will be forgotten any time soon. That was Rebecca Black level of awful in my books. Just hope never have to hear it ever again, lol

Which leaves @Marie and @Vertie to duke it out for the chance to go into the QF draw.
