    Final Four

    Once again, congrats to @borobob @obafgkmlt @Senna s1979 & @Scotia for reaching this point.

    Over the past day or so the Jury have been voting, ranking the 4 songs and the results are in.

    Time to find out who has claimed the ONE spot in the Final that was up for grabs with the Jury's vote.

    Because only one Finalist has been determined at this point.

    Who will it be?

    Final Four

    With only one spot in the Final up for grabs, time to find out who it will be...

    Scoring 44 points

    Unfortunately, the first finalist isn't @obafgkmlt

    The Allman Brothers - Jessica

    But could the second spot still be there?

    And then there were three. Which is about to be down to two.

    With only one spot up for grabs, who will it be?

    Scoring 37 points

    Black Sabbath - Warpigs

    Which means that @borobob has missed out on his chance to be the first Finalist.

    But could a twist see him still be in the running?

    And then there were two. One spot up for grabs.

    The other could be going out or could still be alive.

    And as was fitting it all came down to the Final vote from @Pinstripe

    With 13 sets of votes in the scores were level on 28 points a piece.

    As it was the Final vote gave the top spot to








    Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia

    CONGRATULATIONS
    @Senna s1979

    You have claimed the one spot in the Final that was up for grabs and a shot to put your case to the Jury as to why you deserve to be the next SQ Champion.

    And it was so, so, so close for @Scotia who was pipped by a single vote.

    But could a twist still mean there is a chance of being in the Final?

    THE FINAL FOUR TWIST

    While the Jury were voting for who would be in the Final, the Final Four were secretly tasked with voting which song of their competitors they liked best also!!!!

    And it is from this that we will find out who our second Finalist is going to be.

    As @Senna s1979 won the popular Jury vote, he was inadvertently deciding who he would be facing in the Final.

    :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1:

    Evolution does not stop!

    So who did Senna vote as his favourite of the 3 other songs?

    Was it

    Jessica - Allman Brothers

    or

    Warpigs - Black Sabbath

    or

    Eagles - Hotel California

    Who would it be?

    It should be noted also, that had @Pinstripe ranked Hotel California '1' and Jesus of Suburbia '2', that we would have had a very different Final on our hands, as Scotia selected The Allman Brothers as his preferred song, so we would have had a Scotia v Obaf final in that case...

    Just goes to underline how EVERY vote counts.

    The Final

    CONGRATULATIONS

    @Scotia and @Senna s1979

    You two have reached the Final.

    And I hope that you are prepared for a test unlike any previous Final.

    This is going to push you unlike ever before because the Evolution has one last sting in the tail.

    When the Final Four were tasked with selecting their song nominations for the last round, those on the Jury were made aware of this new Final we have in store for you both. For @borobob and @obafgkmlt who are now joining the Jury, this will now include you also.

    The Finalists will be answerable to each and every member of the Jury as never before,
    This is how it works:
    • Every Jury member will nominate their own theme and post that theme in this thread.
    • The two finalists will then each post a song that fits that theme.
    • Simply post, quoting/tagging that Jury member and attach your song in this thread
    • That Jury member will decide between those 2 songs which they prefer and will vote accordingly.
    Which means that there will be 16 different Jury members who will challenge you individually.

    It is possible that there may be some cross over in themes between the Jury members, and while hopefully as many as possible will be unique. However, some may be similiar also. Which is fine, because you are answering each Jury challenge individually.​

    Be Aware:
    • In answering though, you can only use each song only once.
    • Also, if your competitor has used a song, you cannot then use it. Like always, it is first in, best dressed.

    EACH OF THE FINALISTS MUST GO FIRST EIGHT TIMES EACH

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

    The Evolution Continues!

    Best of luck to you both!​
