And for completion, had Ellie made it to the final, then of course we would have gone for one of her signature hits;

Ps... WHAT a BLOODBATH!

Voting was straightforward in the end, the top two are two of my favourite songs ever, but the other three were very close to each other.

This game wasn't just about artist popularity, but the dang and an bop choices tbh! Wssn't just ... but omfg, I sound like chatgpt!!! "Buffy isn't judt famous for its acron packed, ass kicking heroine, but for itd universal thrmes of acceptance and..."

Also it was really essy to rsnk these tbh. Barely an inconvenience!

Votes sent! Whichever three goes through, I have a feeling they'll deliver one last time!

Voted! 🥰

One of the best songs ever... and one of the worst ever too :D

I literally was about to post the exact same thing.

My all time favourite song is in this list and one of my absolute most hated songs of all time is in this list. Voted accordingly of course

Voted. I hope my favourite has made the top 2...

We're gonna need the deets after this round!! My guess is y'all faves is With You or Dirrty, least... It's A Sin maybe

Not that I'm giving anything away with my votes but 'It's A Sin' is one of my faves of all time ❤️ it's complete genius and any hate for it shall not be tolerated!

This was quite an easy round for me to order my 5 tbh. I had a very clear order when I first saw the list of entries and apart from Mary (which I knew, just didn't recognise the name) it was pretty much unchanged.

I imagine the top 3 will look like:

Avril, Xtinct & Pet Shop Boys.

What would have been Enrique's offering if he was a finalist? @Tafty

The final 2 would have been:

This round: Hero (I think 'Hero' would have been better used as the chance to get me further)

Final: Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)

I posted my list the other day coz I realised I didn't NEED to send 'Rhythm Divine' at ALL to Wagner and could have used a much more popular song to get me through grrr.

OMFG!

I think I miscounted my entries and f***ed Enrique over truly lmao!

Round 1: Bailamos (Qualified)

Round 2: Heartbeat (Qualified)

Round 3: Tonight (I'm f***in' You) [Qualified]

Round 4: Takin' Back Love (Eliminated)

Golden Wagner: Rhythm Divine (DNQ)

Live Show 1: Not In Love

Live Show 2: Tired of Being Sorry (This round)

Semi-Final: I Like It

Final: Hero & Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)

Meaning I miscounted as I definitely had 'Escape' planned towards the end (would have fallen on Semi-Final) but I miscounted and thought I needed an extra entry for Golden Wagner when I didn't at all & 'Rhythm Divine' used up a VERY VALUABLE slot! OMG!!!!!

Had I realised, I think I would have tried 'Not In Love' for Golden Wagner and everything else would have been used a round earlier to have 'Escape' in the Semi-Final! I'm so annoyed at myself lmaoooooo!!!

--

In regards to the contest right now, they were my bottom 2 iirc, so not too mad at those results. Backing a The Saturdays or Avril win at this point I think. Xtinct was very lucky that round! Mary truly the underdog of the competition though *.* WE HAVE TO STAN!

I'm so mad at myself lmaoooo

Here's what I had PLANNED @awardinary

But had I not miscounted, I would have done:

Golden Wagner: Not In Love

Live Show 1: Tired of Being Sorry

Live Show 2: I Like It (but I would have switched with 'Escape' if it was still a double elim!)

Semi-Final: Escape ('I Like It' if LS2 was a double)

Final: Hero & Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)

Ideally I wouldn't have drawn against Xtinct (?) Round 4 or it was the top half who got through... So I could use Not In Love for LS1 and not use TOBS at all.

EDIT: I also toyed with the idea of using one of 'SUBEME LA RADIO' (NOT the Matt Terry version x) or 'DUELE EL CORAZON' (feat. Tinashe) but the latter would have just been used to force Tinashe into this coz... y'know... I kinda feel obliged to

Oh and there's a song of his I toyed with the idea of coz there is a shot of him in the video where you can see his ass and I was just going to please @Spiceboy (and presumably others too) but the song isn't great lmao.

I hope we do this event again and you get another opportunity to shine with another artist of your choice!

I think I'd opt to switch category from female next time, which is probably a shot in the foot, but it would be good to switch it up to a male or a group and see how far I can get.

Stop calling Christina Aguilera Xtinct...it's offensive!!!

:p <3

Anyhow, in retrospect if I paid attention to details and knew exactly the rounds, I would have gone with something like this:

Round 1 : Genie In A Bottle

Round 2 : Hurt

Round 3 : Ain't No Other Man instead of Fighter

Round 4 : Lady Marmelade instead of Infatuation

Liveshow 1 : Candyman instead of Do What You Want

Liveshow 2 : The Voice Within

Semi Finals : Fighter

Finals : Dirrty and Beautiful

</3

I hope we will have this show every quarter and not wait for another whole year @Calum

I wonder if the next one would have a specific (but broad enough) theme. I would like to plan for that (and in the process, discover great tunes).

The winner of this contest can be the next host then so Calum can get a needed rest! 😄

Ooh I’d love for this to be a quarterly thing! No pressure though Calum. 😜 the demand is REAL.

Rumour has it that we've all actually been playing for LAST PLACE!

CONGRATULATIONS YVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
