I'm not really a doomsayer kind of guy, but I just have this feeling in my gut that I'm going to owe points to the roulette after this round, that's how bad it's going to be.   :)

I think you made enough on a couple of songs to break even this round.
Translation: Stadler gets zero points.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.
I be am boner inducing.

OK...I plan on getting another listen in today. I pretty much know where everything should fall. I'm torn on a couple of songs. I have another Bonus Point to decide on.

Of the 4 I know of, 3 people are getting Bonus Points for the first time and one person is getting another one.
One Bonus Point song was sent by more than one person.

Best/Worst coming up shortly.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Dude, I was 100% expecting Suckerpunch to be the worst, and Masters of Destiny to be one of your favorites of that group. Wow! I'm SCREWED!  :lol

No way!   Get out!   Not what I would have called for the worst.  I knew you'd dig the joan Jett, but I thought the Slash might sneak under the radar. That chorus is nothing like what one would expect from Fergie (she actually sings; I have a version of her doing Paradise City, too).

If it makes you feel any better, you have at least one other song that is getting the same score as Fergie! :lol

I believe my Best and Worst for you will stick, but I have barely scratched out real scores for you. I'm having trouble deciphering how I feel about your EP.

TAC, this isn't a joke or making fun, but legit question: you don't seem to like accents or inflections in your vocals, do you?  Do you know what I mean by that?    Dolores O'Riordan has that brogue, but also has an inflection on a lot of her singing; Fergie sings the versus in a sort of hip-hoppy way on my song, Bjork and Kimbra both have unusual ways of phrasing...

I don't like that either, by the way, although I make exceptions.

At the end of the day, it's the music and the song. An accent has absolutely nothing to do with it. Now, anything has a chance in the vacuum of a roulette round, but I'm a hard rock fan, so is it conceivable that someone could slip a really cool Bjork song by me? Sure. But it's also highly unlikely.

I was actually looking forward to the Cranberries song. I remember them, and I never had a problem with anything I had heard, which obviously isn't much.

I was kind of hoping someone would've sent me some Corrs. I've talked about them before, and their cover of Old Town is amazing.

It was between those two, but just had a gut feeling about Beautiful Sin.  I kind of thought you'd appreciate Superjesus a bit more more as it was a bit different and somewhat original.

Interesting to see Dreadnought as the worst, hmm  :corn
Admittedly like half that song is cheesy jazz stuff so I'm also not super surprised but
Way Too Long I was also very unsure about so glad you dug that one  :corn

And yeah I love that song (and the one that leads into it, which is why I included both together). I get that Tim might be less keen on their more mainstream sound though.
