March 2, 201411 yr Fantastic winner! Congrats, Severin! :D 3rd? Not too shabby! Thanks for the votes! And thanks Mark for hosting this. ^_^
March 2, 201411 yr I voted for Lions coz it's a Dylan song and head and shoulders over most other things here. Still stand by my earlier comment tho. Congrats Severin.
March 2, 201411 yr Aww. Ah well, a second top half finish, all good ~ Not a fan of the winner but love the other two in the top 3!
March 2, 201411 yr Harve! :lol: Ah well, decent winner from what I can remember about it. Well done Severin and thanks RFC for hosting so well.
March 2, 201411 yr Author The third set of votes come from Cal, who entered Sleepy Sun. 05 - Sloan These were supposed to be for Spring Offensive. Ooops.
March 2, 201411 yr never saw Lions being a runaway winner there. congrats Severin! wasn't sure what to expect from Gallowdance, but i'm hugely impressed with its performance :o - thanks everyone ^.^
March 2, 201411 yr Came on here just in time to see the final results. Didn't expect to win to be honest but I'm happy with the result. Thanks to all who voted for Lions and I'm glad you liked it. Grebo, I kind of take your point about it being a cover but I didn't spend too much time thinking about it. Some good songs in there. And well done to RFC for hosting a great competition.
March 2, 201411 yr Author Severin did state it was a Dylan cover but I was happy to allow it through as I wouldn't imagine many participants would be familiar with it. Edited March 2, 201411 yr by RabbitFurCoat
March 2, 201411 yr Grebo, I kind of take your point about it being a cover but I didn't spend too much time thinking about it. I think that's fair enough. I didn't mind that much anyway, after all it was my second favourite in the competition.
March 2, 201411 yr Ah, just missed that top-3. I don't think I've reached that in any of our competitions since entering Wild Nothing - Chinatown or something like that back in the 1980. Didn't like the winning song at all but that's the usual business... Thanks for hosting this, RFC Edited March 2, 201411 yr by Thomsen
March 2, 201411 yr I didn't get the winner at all... oh well! The songs in 2nd and 3rd were my favourites though so I cannot grumble too much. Thanks to Bré and RFC in particular for the points, glad Vapour picked up some love from some quarters. :D
March 2, 201411 yr Thank you very much to the four people that voted for me! Not an ideal result, but a little better than what it was looking like earlier. Well, that winner ranked last for me, so not great, but I did really like all of the other top 5. Congrats to Severin ^_^
March 2, 201411 yr Congrats Severin! I'm soo happy that my favourite won this time, now I can (nearly) forgive Mondkopf's second place in UP. Thanks RabbitFurCoat for hosting and AnthonyT (I think) for coming up with the idea of 'Nuggets'! I originally started participating in UP as I wanted to find some songs like these (I clearly didn't know what UP is all about or I still suck at genres).
March 2, 201411 yr I'm so sorry I didn't get round to voting. Some top stuff here, would have been a privilege to get a decent finish without the penalty.
