Posted May 7, 20205 yr ROUND 01 - REFLECTION The theme of round 1 was FREE CHOICE. You all DELIVERED and then some! Thank you to all 75 of you who voted in the opening round of AF Idol 2.0! So lets get to the results. Myself & Jay have done the calculations and... ...the following forums are T H R O U G H • Ariana Grande - Side To Side (feat. Nicki Minaj) • Britney Spears - Womanizer • Calvin Harris - Promises (feat. Sam Smith) • Charli XCX - Doing It (w/ Rita Ora) • Cheryl - Call My Name • Destiny's Child - Say My Name • Dua Lipa - Blow Your Mind (Mwah) • Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed • Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer • Katy Perry - The One That Got Away • Kylie Minogue - In Your Eyes • Lady Gaga - Stupid Love • Little Mix - Shout Out To My Ex • Madonna - Ray Of Light • One Direction - Perfect • P!nk - Blow Me (One Last Kiss) • Rihanna - Where Have You Been? • Rita Ora - Lonely Together (w/ Avicii) • Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holding Me Back • Spice Girls - Who Do You Think You Are? • Take That - The Flood • Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me • Zara Larsson - I Would Like So we say goodbye to the following three forums </3 : • Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell (23 Votes) • K-Pop: Psy - Gentleman (14 Votes) • Ru-Paul - Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve & Talent (06 Votes) > Lana was extremely close to qualifying (just ONE POINT away from tying with #23!) > Me & Cody tried to go for an actual K-Pop hit to get that forum off the ground but, nope </3 Y'all paid 'Kill This Love' DUST last time, so I doubt anything woulda been enough tbh. > Ru-Paul more than likely suffered from being too unknown amongst a whole heap of smashes! Plus it was a random entry inserted into the first round. --- ROUND 02 A song that started an era > The first single of an era. < Get discussing your possible entries in your artist forums with your members and PM ANY ONE OF (WALL; HAUS; JAY; ULTRA; JOSEPH or MYSELF) with your entries, by the deadline which is... 08th MAY 2020 - 17:59 (BST) THIS ROUND IS A SINGLE ELIMINATION. THE BOARD: 24th: Lana Del Rey [Norman Fuckin Rockwell - Round 01] 25th: K-Pop - Psy [Gentleman - Round 01] 26th: Ru-Paul [Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve & Talent - Round 01]
May 7, 20205 yr Expected the bottom 2 (</3) but Lana is a bit of a shock first elimination! It was a great round though with such high quality. I'll be having that playlist on repeat again for sure~
May 7, 20205 yr Author Lana losing by a mere point (I assume we would have done a flash vote of some sort had it been a tie) :( I really think she might have been safe had it been BTD!
May 7, 20205 yr I don't think Norman Rockwell is really known as a single so I think that's where more casual fans would've skipped it. Shame she is gone but lots of the other forums brought their A game to this round.
May 7, 20205 yr So gutted to see Gentleman fall short, I thought that was a really good choice and I don't think K-Pop had any way of making it far in this competition no matter what they sent! Lana Del Rey also out far too early, took too much of a gamble with NFR as it turned out!
May 7, 20205 yr I’m very happy that Ariana is safely through. Lana being knocked out by 1 vote :o I wonder who (just about) pipped her.
May 7, 20205 yr I think Blackpink or 2NE1 could have saved K-POP forum for at least another round!!! Shocked at Lana but not surprised since Norman wasn't a hit regardless how great the song is!!!
May 7, 20205 yr It was definitely a risky choice for Lana and it's unfortunate it didn't pay off for her, but so many other artist forums really hit the ground running in Round 1!
May 7, 20205 yr I’m very happy that Ariana is safely through. Lana being knocked out by 1 vote :o I wonder who (just about) pipped her. At a guess, looking at the thread, I would maybe say Fifth Harmony? They didn’t seem to get that many votes!
May 7, 20205 yr I'm hoping for a disqualification later down the line so Lana gets reinstated. :cry: I didn't vote for her though oops. The entry wasn't a good choice.
May 7, 20205 yr Sad to see Gentleman out, it is an iconic song so thought more people would go for it!
May 7, 20205 yr Gutted to see Lana leave early but not too sad or surprised at the other two leaving. The K Pop song was a poor choice and Ru Paul is rather niche and you either love or hate both the show and the original music associated with it.
May 7, 20205 yr Author I want her to know who she lost out to. I bet it was Ellie.It was.... Rebekah Vardy
