Posted April 20, 20196 yr The Results ...won't be happening at 10AM this morning, don't worry. I'll give a time of 19:00 to start but may be a bit later. I've posted this thread now for a few reasons: - So you can make predictions and hype to your heart's content - So everyone's had all day to see this and so you've got no excuse to not be following along and leaving me to post the results all on my lonesome. - So the one person who hasn't voted remembers to vote (the deadline is EXTENDED until about 3pm today) alongside anyone else who would like to vote. Get hyping!
April 20, 20196 yr Author Update: we now have a full house of votes! :magic: (in fact more than a full house as 13 people have voted, anyone else feel free to vote!)
April 20, 20196 yr Author Slightly later than billed, but let's get this show on the road! First of all, let's remind ourselves of the jerseys: Yellow Jersey - The ultimate award. Won by the song with the most points at the end of the contest. Green Jersey - The sprints jersey. Won by the song with the most top marks (e.g. +12s if we were using that format) Polka-Dot Jersey - The mountains jersey. Won by the song which appears in the most sets of votes. White Jersey - The young rider's jersey. Won by the highest-positioned song released within the past 15 months. (yes I changed this once I realised only one song fit the criteria so now two songs fit the criteria :magic:). And, of course, the entrants: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Used in BBC's F1 Coverage) 8. 9. 10. 11. Hooverphonic - Visions (2000 European Football Championships) 12.
April 20, 20196 yr Author Stage 1/13: PeteFromLeeds Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem sQ4K-2MINV8 Before I start, all the songs are great, even the one that came last so don't be annoyed! These songs Missed the Cut: 7th: Genesis - Match of the Day 8th: Perfecto Allstarz – Reach Up 9th: Fleetwood Mac – The Chain 10th: Vangelis – To The Unknown Man 11th: Vengaboys – To Brazil! These songs were Great: +4 Alter Bridge - Metalingus +2 The Rhythm Method – Chin Up +1 Moby – Lift Me Up These songs were Amazing: +9 Hooverphonic - Visions +6 Jessy Matador – Allez Ola Ole And... this song Got the 12! +12 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray – Zinedine Zidane :cheer: Thanks! 1 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray - Zinedine Zidane 12 pts 2 Hooverphonic - Visions 9 pts 3 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Ole 6 pts 4 Alter Bridge - Metalingus 4 pts 5 The Rhythm Method - Chin Up 2 pts 6 Moby - Lift Me Up 1 pts 7 Vengaboys - To Brazil! 0 pts 8 Perfecto Allstarz - Reach Up 0 pts 9 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain 0 pts 10 Genesis - Match of the Day 0 pts 11 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 0 pts 12 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (PeteFromLeeds) 0 pts So I begin with my votes, in the same fashion as usual. My selection was the song from last year’s Commonwealth Games, which I thought was in the past year and hence why I’ve changed the definition of the White Jersey. Zinedine Zidane gets my 12 and thus sweeps up all the jerseys except for the White Jersey which goes to Chin Up. The only other White Jersey contender (aka me) is placed nicely in last.
April 20, 20196 yr Author Stage 2/13: Mack Moby – Lift Me Up CWGNA3u4-Sg Here we have former F1 commentator Murray Walker with the results: You can cut the tension with a cricket stump. And here are the scores, so let's go go go: 12- Vangelis- To The Unknown Man 9- Perfecto Allstars- Reach Up 6- Fleetwood Mac- The Chain 4- Alter Bridge- Metalingus 2- Jessy Matador- Allez Ole Ole 1- The Rhythm Method- Chin Up 1 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray - Zinedine Zidane 12 pts 2 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 12 pts 3 Hooverphonic - Visions 9 pts 4 Perfecto Allstars - Reach Up 9 pts 5 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Ole 8 pts 6 Alter Bridge - Metalingus 8 pts 7 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain 6 pts 8 The Rhythm Method - Chin Up 3 pts 9 Moby - Lift Me Up 1 pts (Mack) 10 Vengaboys - To Brazil! 0 pts 11 Genesis - Match of the Day 0 pts 12 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (PeteFromLeeds) 0 pts Mack is the second person to vote. He sent Lift Me Up by Moby, which appeared in the intro to the ITV F1 coverage alongside lots of scantily clad women and a random bird. He plumps for almost a completely different set of songs than me, however our votes together put Allez Ola Ole and Metalingus both on 8 points – Jessy gets the polka-dot due to getting a +6 as opposed to two +4s. Three songs still on zero.
April 20, 20196 yr To this day I don't understand why they had the bird for ITV's F1 intro from 2006-2008.
April 20, 20196 yr Author Stage 3/13: jakewild Fleetwood Mac – The Chain JDG2m5hN1vo 12 Hooverphonic - Visions 09 Moby - Life Me Up 06 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 04 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem 02 Afterbridge - Metalingus 01 Genesis - Match of the Day 1 Hooverphonic - Visions 21 pts 2 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 18 pts 3 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray - Zinedine Zidane 12 pts 4 Alter Bridge - Metalingus 10 pts 5 Moby - Lift Me Up (Mack) 10 pts 6 Perfecto Allstarz - Reach Up 9 pts 7 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Ole 8 pts 8 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain 6 pts (jakewild) 9 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (PeteFromLeeds) 4 pts 10 The Rhythm Method - Chin Up 3 pts 11 Genesis - Match of the Day 1 pts 12 Vengaboys - To Brazil! 0 pts So it was Jake who sent the iconic The Chain which may have been a discovery for somebody? Actually thinking about it probably was for Whoddy who doesn’t seem to know any songs from before 2016. He gives Hooverphonic his +12, throwing that to the top of the list and giving it the green by default as no song has more than one +12 as of yet. Metalingus is now the only song to get votes from all three voters so far, getting the polka dot, and I overtake Chin Up (yay!) giving me the White. Only one song on nul now.
April 20, 20196 yr Oh so Jake send Fleetwood Mac which I thought was sent by Jüpiter :P Not good with the predix in this so far hehe.
April 20, 20196 yr Great choice from Jake. Shame that isn't used in terrestrial UK F1 TV anymore. 'Visions' taking the lead there.
April 20, 20196 yr Author Stage 4/13: Mattias Hooverphonic - Visions _Pct46c3O94 Hi! The voting thread said no boring formats!!1! so I'm sorry for this boring format but anyway, here are my votes :D Thanks! 12 – Moby - Lift Me Up 9 – Perfecto Allstarz – Reach Up 6 – Vangelis – To The Unknown Man 4 – Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers – Jerusalem 2 – Alter Bridge – Metalingus 1 – Genesis – Match of the Day 1 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 24 pts 2 Moby - Lift Me Up (Mack) 22 pts 3 Hooverphonic - Visions (Mattias) 21 pts 4 Perfecto Allstarz - Reach Up 18 pts 5 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray - Zinedine Zidane 12 pts 6 Alter Bridge - Metalingus 12 pts 7 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Ole 8 pts 8 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (PeteFromLeeds) 8 pts 9 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (jakewild) 6 pts 10 The Rhythm Method - Chin Up 3 pts 11 Genesis - Match of the Day 2 pts 12 Vengaboys - To Brazil! 0 pts So it was Mattias who sent the current leader (a song which was performed in all its glory in the 2000 opening ceremony for the Euros) (and he sent Hooverphonic to BJSC years before I did , but through his votes he throws away that lead and throws Vangelis to the top of the pack. He also hands out the fourth different 12 of the night, meaning that there’s still no clear winner for the Green Jersey and so Vangelis gets that as well. Moby and Perfecto Allstarz shoot up to 2nd and 4th respectively following their high points. Mattias keeps up the trend of voting for Alter Bridge, helping them retain the polka-dot, and I get a few more points to add to my white.
April 20, 20196 yr Author Stage 5: WhoOdyssey The Rhythm Method – Chin Up Y8ODp1WXI-g +12: Alter Bridge - Metalingus (Edge's (WWE) Entrance Theme) +9: Genesis - Match of the Day +6: Hooverphonic - Visions (2000 European Football Championships) +4: Perfecto Allstarz - Reach Up (Adrian 'Jackpot' Lewis' (Darts) Walk-on Song) +2: Vengaboys - To Brazil! (Was remixed for the 2014 World Cup) +1: Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (2018 Commonwealth Games) 1 Hooverphonic - Visions (Mattias) 27 pts 2 Vangelis - To The Unknown Man 24 pts 3 Alter Bridge - Metalingus 24 pts 4 Moby - Lift Me Up (Mack) 22 pts 5 Perfecto Allstarz - Reach Up 22 pts 6 Vaudeville Smash ft. Les Murray - Zinedine Zidane 13 pts 7 Genesis - Match of the Day 11 pts 8 Tokio Myers ft. Jazmin Sawyers - Jerusalem (PeteFromLeeds) 9 pts 9 Jessy Matador - Allez Ola Ole 8 pts 10 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (jakewild) 6 pts 11 The Rhythm Method - Chin Up (WhoOdyssey) 3 pts 12 Vengaboys - To Brazil! 2 pts Whoddy now, who sent the quirky football song moaning about how bad England are, with the chorus ‘chin up England, it’s not that bad!’ It wasn’t in the end – we made the Semis! Bad luck Rhythm Method. Whoddy not only gives Metalingus points, he awards it a +12, shooting the song up to 3rd and giving us our fifth different 12 from five votes. Hooverphonic are back in the lead anyway, and take back the two jerseys previously held by Vangelis. Vengaboys also get their first points, marking the end of nul points!
