    1 - - 0 2 3 4 3 5 3 0 3 (24)

    So would the potential 15th vote show?







    Well, the answer is No. :54:

    So that means that there would be a grand total of 14 lodged.

    60 points to play for.

    31 to progress to the final....

    and our first finalist is...

    with a score of

    34 - 26

























































































































    Congratulations to The Boss!!!

    :54: Commiserations Stevie Ray Vaughn (albashamrock). :54:

    Almost went the distance and, along the way opened a few ears to one * of a mean Blues guitatist!


    So, who will be joining Bruce in the Final?

    EMINEM

    Eminem, having trailed the entire way of the Semi-Final match up snatches a late winner to get over the line!!!

    5 3 4 - 2 2 - 2 (18) 2 1 (21) 3 2 (26) 2 1 (29)

    Sorry, Michael Jackson (Stubbsy). An incredible finish to an incredibly tight and highly contested Semi-Final.​

    Should be a good final. Hope Kanye wins it

    Congratulations to our Finalists!!!

    [​IMG] V [​IMG]

    So to our Finalists, Eminem & Bruce Springsteen.

    This is as far as you can go on your own steam. Obviously, you can't vote in this final round, so the power is entirely in the hands of those that have been knocked out.

    However, before this is handed over to the voters, you each have one final chance to impress.

    Each of you can showcase your selection by nominating 3 songs from 3 different albums/releases (doesn't matter what or when).

    Being as this is the final, giving the chance to showcase 3 songs should give those voting to have a reasonable overview of each artist's work, in addition to any songs that have previously been promoted.

    These can be any song from any album but can also include any tracks that were not actually released on an album, were done so independently as singles, on live albums, soundtracks etc. So long as the 3 were not on the same initial release.

    Once they have been sent to me, I will post these on here, and the voting will open for those that will ultimately be deciding which artist deserves to be crowned the champion of the second TC Battle of the Bands!

    Best of luck to you both!!!

    On the line is a cool v$250,000 prize to the victor!

    (Yes, prizes will be retroactively awarded to the first BotB also)
