It's earlier than I've predicted. Lots of people actually passed their turn to host roulettes, so it's my turn again now, and it was a really pleasant surprise!
After ignoring the horrible pun in the title, let me just say thanks once again, to all those who have participated in last year's roulette. Some pretty big discoveries were made because of you and most of all, I had a lot of fun. But let's come straight to the point here.
New year, new roulette, new rules.
Last time I opted for 8 rounds, with 8 contestants. This year, I've decided to step things up a bit, so we'll have:
As you can see I went for really simple rounds themes, because I like to keep it simple in this sense, and more honest (I just want new songs, dammit.). The next roulettes might get more complicated, though.
From this moment you can send for ROUND 9 - THE LAST ROUND
