    This was actually quite close, with just 11 point spread from most favoured overall (29) to least (40). And credit to all of those involve for putting up some serious big guns for this Play Off.


    The first artist safely through is:

    Sorry, Prof, but this is the end of the line for Roxy Music in this comp. Thanks for bringing a different dimension to BotB and hope to see you in future comps also. :50:

    Obviously, you still have an important part to play as part of the Jury and helping determine who is ultimately to be crowned the winner of this Competition.

    So with Roxy Music the first to taste the axe, they were not the only one however, to finish with 40 points.

    Joining the Jury next is...

    Sorry, Mark82. Bon Jovi may have been living on a prayer, but it wasn'e enough to secure safety. Though, if it is any consolation, technically finish higher than Roxy Music by virtue of having recieved a '1' vote.

    You now also join the Jury and will help determine the outcome of the coming rounds all the way and including the Final.

    So we have had a bit of heartache, with the demise of Roxy Music and Bon Jovi, so time to find out who will be joining REM in safety.

    Finishing in second place and therefore safe, with a score of 30 (only 1 point behind REM) and in actual fsct secured the most '1' votes was...

    I knew Roxy would never win it, they've always been a fav of mine, but figured they wouldn't appeal to the masses, hence the * scores lol.


    Really enjoyed it though and i'm looking forward to the next one, where i shall give it a bit more thought :icon_mrgreen: :50:
