December 30, 20195 yr YES to Turkey Avium! winning anyhow, definitely the right winner, a beautiful piece that will is now firmly on my Christmas playlist.
December 30, 20195 yr Thanks for this Meekul! Was a lot of fun x And ofc thank you to those who threw me some points, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year B-)
December 30, 20195 yr Author The misdirection!!!!! Will post the final scoreboard in just a sec but Hendinia have got the most points but not actually won due to a deduction for the third time. :lol: !!!! Oh. Am I congratulating the wrong nation then?? Ahem! Let me correct myself: Congrats to RobBob the Christmas Robot and his nation, HenChristmasDinneria! He is the true King and Queen of Christmas this year! And I oop at FLJ passing up on this song!! They LITERALLY would have won if they sent it, seeing as how they, um, VOTED!!
December 30, 20195 yr Author So to sum up: Congrats to RobBob the Christmas Robot and his nation, HenChristmasDinneria! He is the true King and Queen of Christmas this year! HOWEVER, he didn't vote, so the crown is contested. A minor nod over in the direction of FLJ Dandy, who came SO CLOSE to being the TRUE King and Queen of Christmas. Alas, he was gazumped to the entry. He did vote, so he would have won, well, pending any FLJ racism, so he is also a King and Queen of Christmas, but not quite! So! That takes us to the presumptive winner: Congrats to Chez Wombat and his nation, Turkey Avium!! He is the true King and Queen of Christmas this year!
December 30, 20195 yr Final scoreboard (feat. ultra basic presentation because I chucked this spreadsheet together at the last minute not knowing I was going to be doing the scoreboards until a few hours ago xx): http://i.imgur.com/Z27mH2m.png 1 96 Turkey Avium! // Two Steps From Hell 2 95 Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdownia // Oh Wonder 3 79 Walking In The Aeroche // Pantha Du Prince 4 73 Trifrosty // The Florin Street Band 5 69 Jadamistletoenia // Coil 6 68 HenChristmasDinneria // Frida Sundemo {33% deduction; 68.34 before rounding} 7 62 Christmas in Taahino // PVRIS {33% deduction; 62.31 before rounding} 8 59 Perselfonia // The Retrobot 9 55 Juletimebellsdonia // Kate Bush 10 49 Fljótavícksvaporub and the Devolved Icy Territory of Fljótatwíglets // CODY 11 37 Séywewishyouamerrychristmasandahappynewtana // µ's 12 36 Frosty The Beaver // Vanessa Carlton 13 35 Santa's Brother Dearest // Relient K {33% deduction; 34.84 before rounding} 14 32 Dereindeeria // Owl City (6 votes) 15 32 Chocolate Rollocoins // Big Big Train (5 votes) 16 30 Hor CoCor Lupus // Lindsey Stirling 17 29 Yülekyria // Le Duke {33% deduction; 28.81 before rounding} 18 25 LotsaPresentsunia // Eva Weel Skram 19 18 Tinselonia // Faithettes (6 votes) 20 18 South Pole Dancember // Malinkiesza (5 votes) 21 17 Deck The Holls and Oats // Robbie Williams {33% deduction; 16.75 before rounding} 22 16 Christmas Isle // PBD 23 15 North Pole Land // Stars Go Dim 24 15 HoHøtanikkä // Melanie Thornton {33% deduction; 14.74 before rounding} 25 13 Altyr of Mulled Wine // Wiktoria 26 12 Dobeggnog // Mannheim Steamroller {33% deduction; 12.06 before rounding} 27 12 Snowflume // Oscar Lang 28 3 PRo-ho-ho-hoJo // Will Young WD Chez on a default win :cheer: (but 2nd if Rob hadn't had the deduction lel). I wasn't really a fan of the Oh Wonder song unfortunately so much happier with Two Steps From Hell as a winner even if it was an incredibly obvious choice xx Yayyy for Pantha Du Prince and Coil being top 5, I also really liked the Frida Sundemo song so a good moral winner x and looool at me actually getting a top 10 (one place higher than I was in the first Christmas spinoff) with my zero effort joke entry :kink: The Will Young song really wasn't that bad...! It was 11th for me, wish I'd thrown it a point now :o but as it were, Dandy was the one person who had to sail in to prevent us getting a 0 pointer this time! :lol: Thanks for hosting Meek xx
December 30, 20195 yr Congratulations to Chez for winning! :cheer: your song was my 10 pointer so I definitely approve of that winner. Not only did I finish 5th in the last Christmas spin-off but 5th in this one as well :o definitely did not expect Coil to do anywhere near as well as Glasvegas so that's a pleasant surprise! 69 points is the icing on top of the cake also. Thanks for hosting this Meek (+ to Bray for providing a helping hand)!
December 30, 20195 yr Author How close!! Just one point in it!! :o 1 96 Turkey Avium! // Two Steps From Hell 2 95 Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdownia // Oh Wonder I KNEW the three brother dearests would end up around the same!! 1 point separates us all, but no way did I get beaten by that Seyetenna novelty entry!! I'll never hear the end of it :( 11 37 Séywewishyouamerrychristmasandahappynewtana // µ's 12 36 Frosty The Beaver // Vanessa Carlton 13 35 Santa's Brother Dearest // Relient K {33% deduction; 34.84 before rounding} I also came 12th, which is better than Mattias did with the existential entry last teem reet?? That's what's important here! :o And MAttias actually improves on his showing this time with a real xmas song :o 14 32 Dereindeeria // Owl City (6 votes) 28 3 PRo-ho-ho-hoJo // Will Young Omg only three points!!!
December 30, 20195 yr Omg I pulled a Jade :lol: I owe you one, Rob, I think I would've exploded at another 2nd place (and I voted for Frida as well x) Thank you very much everyone! I know Two Steps From Hell have been sent about a hundred times now, and I'm certainly not gonna send them again in the near future, BUT this was a wonderful medley that has become a great new fixture on my holiday playlists so I had to send it, I'm glad so many others liked it, I like to picture Santa and the Reindeers on a battle ride while listening to this *.* It also makes up for them finishing 2nd in YBO earlier in the year as well. Oh Wonder's song was a wonderful discovery, though I am quite glad I didn't give it higher now :lol: That whole top 10 actually is really good on the whole so well done guys. Thanks Frosty the Beaver for this special present, Truly Christmas has come late this year (or extremely early)
December 30, 20195 yr Thanks Meekul for hosting and Bray for doing the scoreboards. Well done Chez on winning with something very Christmassy but I must admit I would have preferred an original song to win this contest rather than a medley of traditional tunes that were very familiar to all of us.
December 30, 20195 yr Nooo at me missing voting and therefore missing top 10. Between Christmas in retail and Christmas with family and mounds of paperwork for the new job I let this slide. :( Should've just voted after the plug sesh grr. Amazing winner though, glad it came out top. The most annoying thing is I had a rough voting list after the plug sesh, so here it is for anyone interested in hypothesising: +12 Walking In The Aeroche: Pantha Du Prince - The Winter Hymn (feat. Queens) +10 Turkey Avium! : Two Steps from Hell - Christmas Medley +08 Jadamistletoenia: Coil - Christmas Is Now Drawing Near +07 Dereindeeria: Owl City - Humbug +06 Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdownia: Oh Wonder - This Christmas +05 Juletimebellsdonia: Kate Bush - Snowflake +04 Frosty The Beaver: Vanessa Carlton - Do You Hear What I Hear? +03 Séywewishyouamerrychristmasandahappynewtana: µ's - Snow Halation +02 Christmas in Taahino: Pvris - Winter +01 Perselfonia: The Retrobot - Christmas Robot I didn't get round to that 2nd listen but I'll see if I can make time for it before the #festive season is completely gone, but those were my initial thoughts. :o
December 30, 20195 yr Author Well, one technically did! It just got deducted x And an original was at no.2, missing out just by one vote :o

December 30, 20195 yr Argh I would've been 4th with Jacob's votes *_* no worries, glad you enjoyed my song that much!
December 30, 20195 yr Oops brother dearest. Thank you for the imaginary one point anyway, at least this is just a spinoff xx Chez would have won even ignoring deductions if those votes had been counted so it's a bit less of a default winner now :magic:
December 30, 20195 yr Author Exactly what I was thinking! Especially if RobBob voted and gave any sort of points ro Turkey Avium! too.
