Jacob-

Lights came 5th!!! Obviously this completely obliterated my previous peak by comparison ("Up Ship!" at #34), I was even leading the scoreboard near the beginning and with the scores so tight between the top 5 I was in with a shot of winning right up until the final vote. Huge huge thanks to all the voters, like I said in my last post Lights is one of my favourite vocalists of all time and I adore her music so it means a lot to come so high with her. Not sure I'll ever come that close to the top again but we'll see. :kink: Also the tempo change isn't messy it's very deliberate!!1!11!!1 #queenofthetempochange

If there's a lot of it the vote will be split. Xx

And well done Daehun! I've always known you to DNQ really so nice to see you do so well, with a bit of a bop as well that only just missed my votes. Altyr was another one of those and it was only due to shuffling things around that you missed out, kinda wish I did have you in now (that iconic sax). Cor Lupus was a great entry and happy to have pointed it even if it was a little self sabotaging. :kink:

I was gonna sleep but then I couldn't so checked this again and it's actually finished! Am shook @ 5th, unbelieveable it was so close at the top as well, I thought I was still in with a chance of winning for a lot of the way through. Thanks to Taahino and Oslol for those 18s (!!) also Azure, Bignia-Zaragovina and so many others for the high points. Saw a lot of 11s in there, seems to be my most frequent score (when I did get pointed) this evening.

Thanks Leww! :wub:

Thanks Altyr!

This Trifoski betrayal.

Am actually dying. How many votes made it in in total?

Closing the gap! :o Thanks Land Of DW! (And Alteria)

Gutted for Zanmatony, gave them 7 and almost wish I'd put them at 10 or something, though no idea what would be knocked out in their place. Insanely high threshold and very unlucky. :( Yass for myself though!! Expected it this time with all those lovely predictions though so it's less elation/ shock than usual. :lol:
