Just a suggestion, but you could also start listening to the match-ups you have.

Sorry guys, I was kidding when I posted Tick Tock, aka the worst song in the world, not thinking much of this whole process. Didn't mean to mess something up. So best to carry on without me cause honestly I don't have a clue what's going on.

I thought so at the time, but didn't want to post "Is this a joke?" in case you liked it.

[Izulde]

Oh that's hilarious.

All right, I'll hit this again tomorrow. Came down with the flu, so just briefly checking in before heading back to bed.

[Izulde]

Been sick all week and haven't listened to any music. Haven't felt like it. Still somewhat under the weather, but I'm hoping to be back in listening shape sometime this weekend. (Plus, I don't listen to music when I have congestion, because I can't hear it well anyway)

Can you post the matchups for this round? I wanna play along again

Hope you feel better.

Yeah I'll do it later today.

And thanks. Still not 100%, but better than what I was.

* - Denotes winner of matchup/advanced to 2nd round.

Note: Because Logan abdicated, a spot opens up for the highest-placing non-winner, which is NorvTurnerOverdrive's entry.

NTO, can you get us an entry?

Also, how do you guys think I should handle him? As an automatic lowest seed for second round because he didn't win his first round matchup? Or should I seed it according to what he would have been had he won?

Edit: The -----------'s denote where there's a significant jump in liking level between groups of songs.

[lordscarlet]

Dear God, Ke$ha was the #2 song out of all of the entries?! Logan jokingly submitted that song because it is so terrible.

My vote would be to put NTO in the #8 spot, but whatever you want to do is fine by me.. lets just get it done.

I think it's a well crafted pop song for it's intended audience. The lyrics fit perfectly for the image that's trying to be portrayed. It's a trashy, drunk, sloppy sex, one night stand that you completely want to forget later on. It knows this and has no shame in trying to be anything more than that. It's why her lack of vocals skills actually works for it. I would never actually go out and buy her stuff, but as a pop song geared for the party girl on the weekend teen set, it works, but then as a 80's fan, I have to claim Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and New Kids so what do I know.

EDIT: Now if somebody picked "Fireflies" by Owl City, then yeah, that needs to get smacked around.

This isn't about how party girls on the weekend teen set like the song, it's how Izulde does....

Had $3 to spend on Amazon MP3s and after purchasing a couple of sings that I liked and had pirated on Napster back in the day, I was looking for something that I wouldn't have found otherwise, remembered this thread, and decided to go with this song. So thanks Scoobz.

[Recoil]

Updates?

[Izulde]

Evidently NTO hasn't seen this thread, so I'll PM him.

[lordscarlet]

I say just give Wade a bye and lets move on

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]
