The TF Pick The Best Song Game – ONE-OFF SPECIAL – THE SIXTH TWENTY WINNERS
The TF Pick The Best Song Game – ONE-OFF SPECIAL – THE SIXTH TWENTY WINNERS
(based on an original idea by sfar)
Well here we go again with the sixth twenty winners – and this was originally meant to be a one-off game :lol: . Like the last time the whole point of the game is to introduce new songs – so I thought that the best way was just introduce an extra game to commemorate the sixth twenty games to find the sixth song to join California Dreamin’, Time After Time, The Sound Of Silence, A Change Is Gonna Come and Walk On The Wild Side as winners – and I’ll do a voting ceremony for this on Sunday 12th June. It’ll be a bare-boned ceremony without interviews
THIS IS A ONE-OFF – ANYONE CAN VOTE FOR ANY SONG, EVEN IF IT WAS ORIGINALLY ONE OF THEIRS
- The game is very easy to play:
3. The song that gets the most points wins the game. In the event of a tie the song with the most 12 points will win, if that number is the same then it's the most 10 and so on.
For those who haven’t played before – here’s a link to previous games to see how it works :-
- You can vote your 10 favourite songs (which will be given 12, 10, 8-1 points respectively – the good old Eurovision format) from the published list
VOTING DEADLINE - SATURDAY 2ND JULY 2016
DEADLINES FOR EVERYTHING IS 7PM UK TIME – UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED – Here’s a link to what the time is in the UK :- local time
Code:

Re: The TF Pick The Best Song Game – ONE-OFF SPECIAL – THE SIXTH TWENTY WINNERS - Vot
I think Jacqueline, Mos Def, Sister Nancy are my favs, followed by Avalanches, Roisin and Husky Rescue. The rest I don't feel like voting for, so I'll skip. Especially guessing which songs will do well here waste of nerves
Lena Platonos could make me vote for her alone, but she is not here yet.
These 20 songs won games 101-120. You pick top 10 of these. Personally won't play this one since I only really liked maybe 5-6 of the winners in that period.

For those who still don't get Joni Mitchell, I may attempt this explanation. Stuff like "River" is like the color "blue" set to music. Blue, definitely it is. Or if the color "blue" isnt blue to you, Joni's "River" tells how that color is blue to others. It gives a definition of "blue". It colors the word "blue" of the blue color. Or it gives to the color blue its soul. Cause blue means blues, soul, melancholy, an ocean of melancholy.

Young Jacqueline was such an amazing, fresh, inspired, instinctive singer. She went relatively unnoticed in her time, though, but seems to get some ackowledgement as of late from people rediscovering she (from YouTube, maybe?) and thinking "hey, she's good!". Yeah, she was good.

This is how I would rate the songs (out of 10)
The Cure – A Forest 10
New Order - Temptation 7
Dionne Warwick – Promises Promises 6
Joni Mitchell - River 6
Bjork – Play Dead 10
I Was All Over Her 10
Lou Reed – Satellite Of Love 6
Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls 6
*David Bowie - Blackstar 9
Sad Lovers and Giants – Things We Never Did 9
Etta James – Stormy Weather 6
Jacqueline Taieb – Le Coeur au bout des doigts 7
Benny Goodman – Sing Sing Sing (With A Swing) 5
Mos Def fear Slick Rick - Auditorium 7
Life Without Buildings – New Town 9
Little Dragon – Ritual Union 6
Roisin Murphy - Overpowered 8
Sister Nancy – Bam Bam 8
The Avalanches – Frontier Psychiatrist 7
Husky Rescue – Beautiful My Monster 8
wait are you allowed to vote for your own winning songs?
In my mind that's not quite fair if somebody wins like 2-3 editions in the period. They can 12, 10 and 8 load their own songs and they've already had success in that department by winning and then get to double dip. @AdeyC any thought about revising the format to deal with this issue?
