Ooh thank you Cody being the last of my mystery mealworm voters x

maybe i didnt flop afterall if i suddenly get 3 12s in a row :kink:

The first 3 scoreboards were for all the 1-3s, then you had votes of 4+ in the first 4 scoreboards, but only one such vote in the last 16 (interspersed with some 1-3 votes already counted).

 

Ah I get you

Well the drama is being brought now, as Rollo's lead has been cut to 5 points! Tafty's 1 point given to Julian is the last already accounted for any of the top 3, but surely it's a two horse race for the final two votes - starting with the second guest voter, All★bySmashMouth

I was wondering if this might just be Jonjo sending 'Cosmic Journey' to a third different contest haha :kink: (previously in BJSC and then again in the Your Best of BJSC spinoff - looks like it's getting a better result here than it did in either of those so perhaps worth it x)

I do enjoy Butterflies and Hurricanes as I do most of Muse's material, but Guillemots one was such a discovery and fit the theme so well, I hope it can hang on.

Thank you Tafty! And 10 points for my 12 pointer. Taste!

After so many changes of leadership and then Rollo looking comfortable at the top, it's now Mangø who leads for the first time by a single point! Has he timed his run to perfection to land his first ever song contest win on Buzzjack, or will Rollo have the final say to land a win in the second edition of this contest? And... what's this, the host within a 12 point score of stealing in myself to win two of these contests out of two, this time on a tiebreak!? As the sender of the last song to be revealed, Cow decides!!

c'mon Rollo!!!!

Oh dear, that's an unwelcome points drought.

Oh I'm back in my wooden spoon safe space, I didn't even notice x (nice to see a little surge of points for The Used though!)

 

Hmm I do hope Cow was a fan of Guillemots, this Muse song is fine enough but really not one of their best...

So close between the top 2! Jim also still in with a (very small) shot at winning 2 out of 2 Bop Idols. :o

Also thanks All★bySmashMouth for the 4!! :wub:

Congratulations Mangø on your first ever win in a Buzzjack song contest! :cheer:

 

Commiserations Rollo - even without the 1-3s being declared first, you were ahead when the original deadline passed, but runner-up is a great showing for your song which was a wonderful discovery for many of us. The late votes mean I complete the podium - thank you to all those who voted for Fleet Foxes, especially Jester and All★bySmashMouth for the 12s.

 

Thank you to the 21st Century Throwback mods for making the arrangements for me to host, and to all entrants and voters! I hope you enjoyed this theme idea - it certainly made for a variety of entries and interpretations of it - and presenting the low scores first was something I wanted to try if I ever hosted a song contest, although even in real time the lead changed several times over. Well done again Mangø once you've caught up with these results - look out for the iPod widget sometime soon!

Oh congratulations Mangø! What an atmospheric Muse single, one I enjoyed at the time of owning the album and still sounds great today. A lovely choice for this theme which I did not consider at the time, but I am glad I could comfortably include it in my votes. Enjoy your shiny new widget of an iPod! :D

That's disappointing to see such a big lead being whittled away. Thanks to everyone who voted for Sao Paulo, 2nd place is still a good finish.

 

I knew and liked the winning song already but didn't put it in my vote as I thought a number 14 hit single by a group that's well known should have been vetoed but congratulations to Mango on the win and getting your second widget.

 

Thanks to Jim for hosting and picking such a good theme.

Aw x Well congrats Mango on a first song contest win :clap: 2nd is still good for Guillemots and pleased to see Fleet Foxes rounding out the top 3 too.

 

I only voted for 5 of the top 10 which is not too great from a field of 20 (19 really excluding myself) but ho hum! Cow's entry also deserved way better </3 and thanks Cow for the last points, my second highest of the night and almost allowing me to escape the wooden spoon again but alas holding onto it by a tiebreak :cheeseblock: 33 points seems not too bad for last place though.

 

Thanks Jim for hosting, intrigue to see what direction a potential Mango contest may go in x

I preferred the low scores only table!

5th! Very happy with that omg. Finally some JUSTICE for her/that song! <3

 

Great hosting jim! A very fun contest and a fun theme. I would have liked a bit more pop sprinkled in but we can't control what people want to send... IF ONLY EH!???
