No worries, it was (mostly) a joke x

It's not *that* late yet

 

It's not like ESC that keeps exploding and will soon end like 4am our time.

MY FAULT I WAS TYPING RESULTS AND MY WIFI FAILED BUT IT'S BACK NOW SORRY EVERYONE

 

the top 2 thoough :cheeseblock: my two stan artists!

 

Madonna

 

2nd - 0.642116555

 

First 5 Rounds: 5th - 0.636949686

 

The pioneer of many of the artists showcased in this edition of AF idol and the benchmark for their careers (their words not mine), Madonna proves that she is not a has-been and that her back catalogue of music, her eclectic mix of styles from nearly 4 decades is still as relevant today as it was all those years ago when she burst onto the scene. Talking of her mix of styles, in this edition of the competition, we had the dancefloor anthems from Confessions on a Dancefloor, the zany country-tinged sounds of Music, the earthly, spiritual sounds of Ray of Light, the anthems from Like a Prayer and many more eras being represented. Her singles smashed their rounds and her album tracks proved to be great discoveries for many, as she never really languished too far below the mid way point of each round. Madonna also proved that she is still a heavyweight against the more current popstars, winning two rounds and coming 2nd in two also (the final two rounds as it happens). So whether she was melting your frozen hearts, leaving you hung up on the dancefloor, bringing you to your knees, or making you strike a pose, Madonna has earned a silver medal and has come in a very respectable second place!

First 5 Rounds: 1st - 0.706329739

 

With her second win in a row, it is Mother Monster herself that is crowned your AF idol winner. Off the back of her hugely celebrated return to the dancefloor, Gaga took us all to Chromatica and beyond this edition of the competition. With 4 out of 6 tracks taken from her latest album, Gaga showed that she is still able to churn out the hits and keep us enthralled with her music - the majority of the Chromatica tracks smashed into the top 2 of their respective rounds! Elsewhere, we went back in time to her roots, with Poker Face (which today celebrates its 13th birthday - lucky for some!), took a softer touch with her soundtrack ballads and even showcased some of her deep cuts even in rounds that didn't require album tracks! Throughout the competition, Gaga shifted the pace, sang her heart out and made us all put our paws up to the sky. She spent more than half of the rounds in the top 2 positions and only "suffered" slightly in the other 4 rounds, with 9th (out of 24) being her worst performance. So, proving once more, that pop music will never be low brow, lets put our paws together for your winner - Lady Gaga!

Well done Madge too!

Out of the two, just for a new winner / the SHOCK i'd have loved a Madonna crowning but can't deny the love Gaga got this series - especially the new Chromatica tracks *.*

WE DID IT AGAIN :cry: :cheeseblock: :cry: :cheeseblock:

 

I'm absolutely over the moon and I'm glad this iconic lady's discography is quite clearly loved here. She remains one of the biggest stars on the planet and long may she continue to bless us with her music.

 

Thanks to everybody for running and organizing this. AF Idol's are *super* fun and I'm always slightly bereft when they come to an end.

Very glad that Shallow didn't ruin her chances. I'm proud that people voted for it for the final round. A classic!

I thought Shallow's underperformance killed her chances of winning so I'm genuinely surprised we did it again :cheeseblock:

Extremely impressive for Madonna, she outperformed my expectations!

 

Gaga really smashed it, that was never in doubt really. Well played mods, congrats!

Now we're coming for that AF Idol 4.0 win

Vogue only #14, just saw it now

I would've liked Madonna to win as a new winner and I made some great discoveries from her extensive back catalogue this time, though Lady Gaga ofc. delivered very well as well, grats x

 

Thanks for the running of this as always!

That performance for Like a Prayer :wub: I think it was the oldest song entered in the whole contest so amazing for it to smash so hard.

 

That lack of love for Vogue though :cry:

 

 

Well done Gaga mods, she really is THE Buzzjack fave

Thank you for running this, it was so fun again!

my favourite thing about gaga winning was the song choices, very inspired!

 

thank y’all for voting in your flocks and thank you to jay for carrying the results! it’s been once again thee most successful contest on buzzjack this year

 

zara deserved beans and you know that!!!!

Gaga is a very deserving winner! Another great year for the contest!

 

Thanks for running it all so well.

We are continuing with AF Idol and Round 11 will be up shortly....

 

The theme will be "Tracks named after Buzzjack Members"

 

Shall I crown Madonna & her track 'Isaac' the win now orrr...????

Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed in any way they could. I do love this contest and it's only ever meant to be a bit of fun and to get more activity in the artist forums as well as to just generally take our minds off of things for a little while etc.. :wub:

 

Congratulations to the Gaga moderators for another win. Maybe we should force you to send 'Come To Mama' and have an "Under appreciated bop" round next time.
