Alright, alright.  JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME, EH?

I gave out three 5 pointers because I honestly had too.  Thanks for your patience. 

Thevoxyn - Petter Carlsen - Spirits in Need I’ve been waiting for you to send him based on your praising words for the guy, and; yes.  YES.  What a wonderful song; very strong in the melodic department and the vocals were amazing.  All-around flawless music, I guess.  You win.  - 7 points


Soundscape - Janelle Monáe - "BaBopByeYa"
Woah.  Woah.  Mind blown.  I don’t even quite know what to make of this, it’s like some sort of theatrical pop song from the future.  The voice was lovely and it had all the elements of an amazing song.  It was quite diverse, as well, and maintained interest.  Woah.

Gorille - O+S - New Life
Beautiful calm electronic song.  Beautiful.  The female vocals are lovely and the electronics find a perfect balance between being subtle and still interesting.  I loved it.  - 6 points

Sonatafanica - Casey James and the Staypuft Kid - The Linen Boos
Another one of the more interesting submissions this round.  I've not heard too much music like this.  The spooky little vocal sounds were really what made the song.  The singer was certainly unconventional, but it worked well.  - 5 points

Ravenheart - Blasphemous Rumors Depeche Mode
Super-cool, depressing electronic song.  The vocals are the best part, I couldn’t imagine this song without that awesome, deep voice.  It was pretty catchy, too.  Great song.  - 5 points

King - Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Very pleasant song.  Fantastic voice, and the dreamy melody was really cool.  There was also a guitar solo that actually managed to be interesting; nice!  She’s also not too hard on the eyes.  - 5 points

Lielow - Gentle Giant - On Reflection
Awesome harmonization going on here, I love the vocals in general.  The song itself was actually quite interesting and well done too, with the sort of magical medieval flair.  Very nice song.  - 4 points

MG – A Perfect Circle - When the levee breaks
One of the coolest covers I’ve heard.  The vocals were particularly nice.  I loved the subtle additions that the piano made.  Fantastic rendition!  - 4 points

Jsem - Supertramp – School
Yeah, I know this song, my parents really like it.  It’s a good song, too.  Fun, groovy , and spacey.  Makes one feel good.  -3 points

Sneakyblueberry - This City Sunrise - Weird Concrete Building
This was another out-there song.  At times it was fantastic, though occasionally it got to be a bit too much.  It was still enjoyable mostly, there were just a few parts that didn’t click.  - 2 points

Zxlkho - Death - Crystal Mountain
It was alright.  However, the shouting growls over some less-than-interesting riffs dragged it down, and the song really didn’t have anything special going for it.  The instrumentals were too repetitive and the vocals were pretty laughable at parts.  - 1 point



And so the roulette comes to a close.  Really, congratulations to Thevoxyn for winning, but don't take the score seriously at all.  To be honest, I loved the part of hearing the music but I DESPISED having to rank your songs.  You all had your own awesome angle on it, and I kind of wish I had just done an open recommendation thing so I wouldn't have to go through the pains of judging them against each other.  So don't worry about the score, because I enjoyed it and I love you.  I might update this every now and then when I start revisiting some of the stuff that I want to hear again! 

Thank you all

Told you I would win. Finally won one of these things :D.

Anyway, thanks for the speedy updates - apart from the lost one which took so long that I wanted to kill myself.

LieLowTheWantedMan

Yeah. 27 days is a bit much, but it was good other than that. :lol :biggrin: Anyways, glad you liked On Reflection. The harmonies are amazing.

King Postwhore

Had a great time doing this.

Also both solo's are awesome on that song and the off time drum beat gives the song a good punch.
