Song Contest 44 - Votes

ChannelDelibird · Post Post #11 (isolation #0) » Sun Oct 30, 2011 10:01 am

Pretty sure I want to re-enter a band I picked the wrong song for a while ago, but having trouble deciding which track to go with. Hmmm.

(And obviously I won't be entering anything from a video game. And am relatively unlikely to give video game music points [that's not me judging entries before I hear them, just a reflection of my own voting history in contests featuring video game music].)

Fuck it, I'm entering an awesome track which nobody will vote for.

Winning is for losers.

Pretty much. It's in the name, really.

Hey, I have an idea - we could have a music-off where everyone enters whatever the hell they like and we see which one finishes first.

So the contest numbers of "Battle of the Best" have nothing to do with the numbers from the usual contests?

Yup. They've been held every 10 contests starting after SC20.

You can enter as any country
not
in the OP.

Also note (because this confuses many newbies) that countries are for optional anonymity; you don't have to enter music from that country.

Also, I think someone else wanted canada, so you may need to include your backup choice in the PM form.

Ireland is getting a lot of points from me. Scotland is getting even more.

Oh, by the way, whoever responded to the "Country:" section of the form with the words "Tristan da Cunha" requires immediate and vehement shooting.

Apologies for running close to deadline again, but just so happens that tomorrow is my least busy day for a while. I'll have those votes in.

Just finished listening. Overall a pretty decent contest although the highest number yet that are already on my iPod. For the first time in ages I was happy to give points to everything I gave points to.

a deep, deep, deep hatred of that song has been instilled in me by the fact that it's been used in
everything ever on tv ever
and is incredibly annoying to listen to on a surprise basis

I had the opposite reaction for the same reason. When I realised it was

that song

I was all "hey, that's a nice surprise, now I know what that song I'm always hearing is!", so it benefited in terms of points for my only listening to all the entries once.

Then I demand a recount. I was clearly robbed.

Sixth was a lot higher than I was expecting. Awesome. No way was JD's entry a record-breaking song though.
