Cuzzick, New Lexico is proud to present the nominations ceremony that will be kicking off the tenth anniversary edition of TBO. Here we will be deciding which songs deserve to be considered the "best of the best" in the past year of new music and new discoveries. As they won their contests, the following 10 songs have already qualified for the next stage of the competition (so obviously don't nominate these ones):

easyFun - Monopoly (feat. Noonie Bao) [ultraviolenceland 91]
Gareth Emery & Standerwick - Saving Light (feat. HALIENE) [south Danaelanda 92]
Jaded - In The Morning [ultraviolenceland 93]
Drones Club - Hurricane [Trifoski 94]
Bleachers - Don't Take The Money [suedonia 95]
Helena Paparizou - Haide [Daehun 96]
Norda and Mike De Ville - Gypsy (Catch Me If You Can) (feat. Joanna Jones) [Quintessa 97]
Claire Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor - Mulholland Edition [Medhelnia 98]
Francesca Michielin - Vulcano [unovia 99]
TR/ST - Capitol [Aeroche 100]

- In each of the contests you wish to vote for, you may vote for five songs. your favorite song gets 7 points, your second favorite gets 5 points and your remaining three favorites gets 3-1 points respectively. And if that description is insufficient for you, here's a visualisation;

7pts: (fave)
5pts:
3pts:
2pts:
1pts: (5th fave)

- To nominate you must have competed in at least one of the ten contests this year (so congratulations all of the people who flocked in for the 100th contest, you are eligible!)

- You may NOT nominate one of your own entries

- Please include the country name in your nominations to make my life slightly easier.

- If you do not nominate in a contest where you have an entry competing, that entry will receive a deduction of 7 points

- 70 songs will qualify from the nominations to the next stage. The top 6 of each contest will automatically go through alongside the 10 highest scoring entries that finished outside the top 6 (the upshot of this is essentially, the 70 qualifiers will not necessarily be the top 7 from each contest)

-PM me, LexC, your votes (in a single PM please) by 23:59 Wednesday 29th November. The results will then be announced the following evening.

Let the nominations BEGIN!

Nerdy Boy 2 win

'Waqqaberry' to slay x

 

(looking forward to delving into the available recaps soon, thanks as ever for those Izzles *.*)

Everyone be nice to my entries :)

Think Attitudeproblem should be this years 5 Fine Frøkner tbh

 

 

Hoping to get one of my top10s through at least

Well I should have one representation in the next round with Pariah at least and possibly Africa, but you can never be too sure with the bizarre results that happen here sometimes. It's not been the best year for me results wise so just one here would be an achievement.

 

 

Completely forgot about TBO when.dropping out :lol:

Shall be voting jn this

Pinning all my hopes on KREAM and Confidence Man here, hopefully one of them can make the final.

 

Also, obligatory winners R8;

 

01 Haide

02 Elizabeth Taylor

03 Gypsy (Catch Me If You Can!)

04 In The Morning

05 Don't Take The Money

06 Monopoly

07 Saving Light

08 Vulcano

09 Capitol

10 Hurricane

 

It's definitely a more pop-leaning group of winners than the last decade which, shock horror, means that I think it's a better set of winners. Hurricane's the only one that I do not get at all and Capitol is okay but not really my jush~

#JusticeForJohnOtway

01. Capitol

02. Hurricane

03. Gypsy (Catch Me If You Can)

04. In The Morning

05. Monopoly

06. Saving Light

07. Don't Take The Money

08. Vulcano

09. Elizabeth Taylor

10. Haide

 

No bad winners this year! Lmao at Lex's bottom two containing my top two and his top two containing my bottom two. :lol: we do both have Gypsy in 3rd though *.*
