I went with what the nommer told me

Shoegaze has been having a bit of a revival lately which is great to see.

That is very impressive! Well done to that person!

 

[Tonga Bob]

Wait I thought CursingFijian had entered the SC before?!

Nah you're thinking of me.

 

[myblueroan]

Nah you're thinking of me.

Islands in the stream, that is what you are
...
Aha

 

[Ulahoopski]

Beau Ted. Overloaded with Billy options.

Song contest update -

17 have voted and the race is incredibly close befitting such a diverse round.
15 songs in double figures.
15 songs have been classed "Best song" by a contestant (therefore only 2 songs have multiple "Best Song" awards).
Sadly 1 song is still in donut form.
The Billy is an exciting a two horse race.

EDIT - Oh and the best guesser is still on 10/26.

I won't tag the 9 who haven't voted again - you know who you are!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Almost ready for you.

 

[Ocha905]

Only need Plugger35 to vote. When he votes I'll start (or at 10pm if he doesn't).

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

 

[Stokey]

It's not like he has umpiring to melt over. Get a move on Plugger35

 

[Plugger35]

Boted

There were more billy contenders in that playlist than bote contenders.

#SongContestResults

In 26th Place is Red Dress by Sarah Brand with 0 votes & 9 Billies (BBBBBBBBB), nominated by Harvey Manfrenjensenden

Sarah performs miraculously by not hitting a single note in a whole song. Amazing find Harvey, it had me in stitches and is the most deserving Billy of all time.

Which brings me to the "Guess the Nommers" winner who is TubbsFarquhar who correctly guessed 16/26 noms right. For your reward please assign a Billy avatar to Harvey.

Thanks also to those who gave the guessing a crack. It looked bloody difficult.

 

[Plugger35]

The Billy King is back with a vengeance.

In 25th Place is Szelem Szelem by Esma Redzepova & Ensemble Theodosievsky with 3 votes & 0 Billies (111), nominated by Ulahoopski

In 24th Place is Garage Girls by Lonyo with 5 votes & 4 Billies (5BBBB), nominated by Chipmunk

In 23rd Place is Lucky Girl by Fazerdaze with 7 votes & 0 Billies (34), nominated by TubbsFarquhar

In 22nd Place is I Don't Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp remix) by Kings of Convenience with 8 votes & 0 Billies (152), nominated by Lunchlady Doris

In 21st Place is Sex Offender Shuffle by Scott Gairdner with 9 votes & 7 Billies (1BBBB5BB1B2), nominated by spudmaster

Some of the more "niche" genres got shortchanged here. I for one enjoyed discovering the Gypsy and Garage genre.
One of my biggest regrets was not voting for Fazerdaze (I hate rushing to vote first) and am shocked by it's result.
Kings of Convenience was super interesting but perhaps too weird for the SC core.
I'm actually annoyed Spud billy-baited this round and took Billy's away from Harvey.

In 19th Place is Kal Ho Naa Ho by Sonu Nigam, Shankar Ehsaan Loy with 11 votes & 0 Billies (542), nominated by MWPP

In 18th Place is Emerald by Thin Lizzy with 13 votes & 1 Billies (5B341), nominated by Fossie 32

In Equal 16th Place is Lotus by Ummet Ozcan with 13 votes & 0 Billies (212233), nominated by MP_

I thought Lagwagon and Thin Lizzy would appeal to the core base of the SC more.
Kal Ho Naa Ho is my second favourite song nommed in my time here. Thanks MWPP!
Jaubi is the other song I wish I could've voted for.
Seeing Mongolian Throat singing techno makes me wonder how many other genres I'm oblivious to.

In Equal 11th Place is Lately by RÜFÜS DU SOL with 15 votes & 0 Billies (11214411), nominated by por_please_ya

We're well into the middle class with hardly anything separating them.
Awesome to see Cursing Fijian enter with a classic Reggae anthem which got my 4 votes.
One aspect of the Billy baits is it takes away the usual Billy's from the metal and rap genres (there's always going to be some dedicated haters though).
Porps nom got plenty of hits just not many at the top end.
